Success at basic computing starts at the same place - organization. If you don't know how/where to find it, you can't work on it. This is as true as as student as it is for the business professional. Click on the Start icon and browse to the Computer icon. Alternatively, press the windows key and the letter E and that opens windows explorer (NOT to be confused with Internet Explorer)



Assignment #1 - Computer research and network organization
Notice - there are a series of categories when you open Computer. On the left you'll see your Favorite Locations, your Libraries, your Computer icon (and a triangle next to it to open that into further subdivisions) and the Network icon and the triangle next to it to navigate to the network sub-divisions visible to you.

On the right side there are Hard Disk Drives, listing all physical devices IN YOUR COMPUTER that you have access to. There is a c drive which is NOT visible to you and a d drive, which IS visible to you. Technically they're a logical division of the same physical entity - a hard-drive spinning away in the tower sitting next to you. We'll talk more about this in a couple of classes. While you have access to save/retrieve from the hard drive, it exists ONLY on your computer. You cannot access it from anywhere else except at the seat you're on right now.

There is a Devices with Removable Storage division. If you have a USB stick, a camera, a fax machine, a keyboard, a microphone, a time-traveling-device-sent-to-exterminate-mankind, it will appear here when you plug it in.

Finally, you have Network Locations. At school, using Active Directory you will see 2-3 drives. The first drive, the S drive, is where your Active Directory profile is kept. Your files, including daily and/or weekly backups, are kept here by default (except some programs which try to save them to the C drive). In the second folder (if visible) you will see school common apps. Finally, more importantly, there is the X drive. This is where the school's hand-in and hand-out folders are. You will receive relevant course materials from the hand-out folder and turn in relevant work to the hand-in folder with your name on it under Mcintyre>BTT1O>*yourname*

__**ACTIVITY**__

In this activity, you will create folders to help you keep your work organized. You will create four folders right now and then more as the course progresses. The four folders to be created now are Word Processing, Data Manipulation and Graphics.


 * Word Processing – to store all your word processing files
 * Data Manipulation – to store all of your spread sheet and database files
 * Graphics – to store all of your publishing and graphics work
 * Business Communication - to store presentations and correspondence in


 * 1) Click on the Start icon and browse to the Computer icon. DON'T CLICK ON DOCUMENTS. While that is safe at home, here at school the link to your personal server folders is sometimes broken and it will store to the C drive. You don't have access to any work stored there. Alternatively, press the windows key and the letter E and that opens windows explorer.
 * 2) Click on the icon for your personal drive space (Under Network Locations> S drive). It will have your login name (S12345678)
 * 3) Create 1 of your folders by clicking the NEW FOLDER icon up at the top of the explorer window
 * 4) Create 1 of your folders by right-clicking your mouse in the blank space in the right pane of your explorer window. Choose New>Folder
 * 5) Create that last 2 folders any way you prefer.

Once you have completed this task make sure your explorer window is open showing your newly created network folders in your network space. Take a screen capture by pressing Prt Scr (top right of keyboard). Open Paint.net ([|download link]if it's not on the computer already) and [|crop the image down]to show JUST your explorer window (e.g. remove the desktop/task bar etc.... from the image).

Once cropped go to FILE>SAVE AS and choose PNG. Call it Assignment #1.png and save it into your graphics folder you just created. Now open the hand-in folder for this course and browse to your particular folder. Copy Assignment#1.png from your graphics folder into this handin folder.

Assignment #2 - The History of Computers in business
In this exercise you are to create a MS Word document that, in a 3 column table, lists each calculating device, and fills in the following details:
 * 1) When was it created?
 * 2) Why was it significant?
 * 3) Find an image on the internet and using Paint.net reduce the picture to 320 pixels wide by however many pixels tall it is and [|still keeps its aspect ratio].

Computer Components
Since we're learning to use the computers in "a business setting" we will focus on modern digital, personal computer systems. A "SYSTEM" a collection of things that somehow work together. A "Computer System" is a combination of HARDWARE and SOFTWARE designed to manipulate information.

1. HARDWARE - Physical "components" that have been designed to work together. Hardware components are specifically designed to:
 * 1) Input Information
 * 2) Store Information
 * 3) Process Information
 * 4) Output Information

2. SOFTWARE - Digital information that directs the operation of the hardware. Software can be stored on a "physical medium", but at it's purest, it is just 1's and 0's in meaningful, coded combinations. Three categories of software would include:
 * 1) Applications
 * 2) Documents
 * 3) Data

__Computer Applications__ A computer application is a piece of software that controls the components of a computer, and gives it the ability to perform a specific function. For example:
 * [[image:http://media.askvg.com/articles/images3/Start_Windows_Update_Services.png align="left"]]Word Processing
 * Spreadsheets
 * Graphic Editing
 * Driver
 * Web Browsing
 * Animation
 * Video Editing
 * Background Services
 * Games

Are all typical examples of software that can be installed in a computer system to give it a greater range of functions.
 * Applications are typically launched by double clicking a file that has an "EXE" file extension
 * Each different will likely output files in their own "languages", and they may not be compatible with each other. ([|list of file extensions])
 * Commercial Applications can cost hundreds to thousands of dollars
 * Shareware Applications can be relatively inexpensive, but of limited quality or ability
 * "Open Source" Applications are typically free, and are as good and updated as the people who volunteer to develop them.

__**Exercise:**__ Group up with your neighbour. Come up with a list of all the various word editing pieces of software available to you on your computers right now.

__**File Formats and Extensions**__ Applications that store your work in files each use their own "language". These are referred to as "File Formats". They may be specific to one particular application, or they may be a common standard between many different applications.
 * __**Extension (format)**__ || __**File Function**__ || __**Typical Application**__ ||
 * .doc, .docx || word processing || Native to MS Word ||
 * .jpg, .jpeg || bitmap image file || Microsoft Picture Viewer, Paint, Photoshop ||
 * .xls, xlsx || spreadsheet || Native to MS Excel ||
 * .htm, .html || markup language (web page) || Viewable in browsers, editable in everything from website design software to Notepad ||

Computer Vocabulary
There are two types of hardware associated with computers. Internal hardware and peripherals ("plug-in hardware").

__Internal hardware__
A typical PC consists of a case or chassis in the desktop or tower case and these components. • Computer Fan • RAM • BIOS • Digital Circuitry • Computer Fan • PCI Slots • PSU || • USB • Hyper-transport • AGP • ISA • EISA • VLB || • SATA • Audio • Specialty || • DVD-Rom • BD drive • HDD (IDE and SATA) • Flash drive • Cloud? || • Keyboard • Digital Camera || • Scanner • Monitor • Speakers • Headset ||
 * **Motherboard (things soldered/attached to the board)** || • CPU
 * **C Buses (integral slots/ports soldered to the board)** || • PCI
 * **Expansion Cards** || • Video
 * **Storage Media** || • CD-Rom
 * **Other Peripheral Devices** || • Mouse
 * **Output Devices** || • Printer

__**The CPU**__

[|Architectures]: E.g. Celeron, Dual Core, Core2 Duo, Core2 Quad, Core i7 - deals with how calculations are made and how information flows through the CPU Features and Metrics: Cache (ie. 8MB L2), Clockspeed (ie. 2.66GHz); Bus (1066FSB)



Assignment #3- Computer components for a small business
In this assignment you are to act as the purchaser in the IT department of your organization. You must purchase 50 workstations that have to be identical. You have an overall budget of $25,000. This means each workstation can cost, at MAXIMUM $500 - you are given a 15% discount for buying in bulk so apply this calculation after getting your quotes from the various companies. Set up your page as follows.




 * Upon creating your document, save it as Assignment #3.docx by clicking on the Application button in the top left corner (see image above)
 * Using the Font Style dropdown change the font (shown as Calibri above) to a [|sans-serif] font of your choice. This font is to be set at a 13 points and choose the centering text icon from the paragraph group in the ribbon (hover your cursor over each icon, choose "center text")
 * Create a table that is 5 columns wide by 6 rows. Title each column in the same sans-serif font from your title, but at 20 pt. font, with the following labels: Column 1: Computer Provider; Column 2: Computer Model; Column 3: Computer Components; Column 4: Cost; Column 5: System Graphic
 * Create a "Hanging Indent" of 0.25" format in each cell. This way any paragraph wrapping will lend itself more readable.

To create a hanging indent of 0.25" do the following: __** Step 1 **__ : Right click on the beginning of your paragraph (or in the absence of a paragraph simply press CTRL+A to select everything). Choose Paragraph from your right-click contextual menu.

__**Step 2:**__ Choose the Indentation section of the contextual menu. Under SPECIAL choose Hanging and adjust your amount to 0.25. By default the measurements are in imperial, but we can alter them all to metric should we want by changing the units in the default units section of the options menu (we'll keep inches for now).


 * Find a GOOD, but small graphic for each machine system being bought (e.g. get a picture of the dell computer for dell's quote, a picture of an Acer computer system from Acer's site etc...), include it in the last column
 * You are to find your quotes from to the following websites
 * Dell Canada's
 * Acer
 * Lenovo
 * HP
 * NCIX


 * You are given a budget of $500 per workstation for your employees. Apply a 15% group discount to each vendor price you are quoted.
 * Create a final table in a design of your choice that summarizes your findings and your recommendations to the purchasing department.
 * If you're stuck, in a business machine you're looking at something like the following: CPU: i3, 4 GB RAM, 1 TB hard disk drive, Windows 8.1, 23" LCD, keyboard, mouse - rather than buy expansion cars, use the built-in video processor, LAN, USB hubs and sound

 =Assignment #4 - Key business terms=

When discussing business it is important to be able to use terms that reflect the environment you're in.
 * 1) Create a Word document called Assignment-4.docx. Format the first line in INTENSE EMPHASIS from the style menu. Write down Key business terms in Arial 16 pt. font. It should look like the picture below. [[image:btt1o_intense_emphasis.png]]
 * 2) Highlight the column of text provided in [[file:btt1o_key_business_terms.txt|THIS TEXT DOCUMENT]] and copy/paste it into your word document below your title.
 * 3) Highlight (or keep highlight), the column of text and select from the top menu INSERT>TEXT TO TABLE. Choose 1 column (default) and ok.
 * 4) [[image:jmcintyre/btt1o_text_to_table.png]]
 * 5) You'll wind up with a single column. Make sure the whole table is selected and right click the table and Insert>Column to the Right. Title this column Definitions.
 * 6) To select the top row of the table (the one with Terms and Definitions in it) make sure you move your cursor to the left of the row until the cursor appears as a white arrowhead. See [|THIS LINK]
 * 7) With these selected choose Heading 1.
 * 8) Now select the whole table by clicking on the 4-arrowed box at the top left of the table. Right click and select Borders and Shadings. Choose the 1 1/2 pt line and apply it to the box and click on the custom button at the bottom. Your table should look like the picture below

 =Internet Research= There's all kinds of good and bad on the internet. Additionally, good can become bad when it becomes out of date. As such, doing research on the internet can be tricky. The young student might be tempted to think that anything on the first page of Google might be just fine and not to bother to look further nor alter your search query. However, to truly answer a question well requires time, patience and forethought to tie together concepts and make a coherent story from a series of clues.

To sift through the internet for answers one must first know how to ask the right question(s)

How to do research:
Topic example: Al Qaeda Start with a question: How did Al Qaeda start and become militarized? Follow with details: When is this research going to be done? When do you know you’ll be done?


 * **What I know** || **What I want to know** || **What I have found out** ||
 * Al Qaeda is a terrorist organization || * When was Al Qaeda founded?
 * Who founded Al Qaeda?
 * When or why did Al Qaeda become militarized? || * any results of research (see the 10 tricks to do internet research below)
 * list of references for the bibliography ||

In this section we'll discover:
 * 1) How to sift through internet pages and qualify content from websites
 * 2) How to generate a coherent dialogue based on research findings
 * 3) How to properly cite research coming from websites

Here are 10 tricks to doing research on the internet:
[ [|source] ]

The internet is a wonderful resource. It has all the information that students are likely to need about every topic they are studying. Internet research can be a very effective (and enjoyable) way of finding the information that you need. However, it is also very easy to spend a lot of time searching on the web and still not find what you are looking for. If you follow the 'rules' below, you can be sure to avoid wasting too much of your precious time. Remember, some sources are to be more trusted that others!

__**Rule 1 - Be sure you know exactly what information you have to find.**__

The more exactly you know what you are looking for, the easier it will be to find it.


 * __Rule 2 - Use multiple-word searches__**

This is related to Rule 1. Let's say you have to find out about Shackleton's third journey to Antarctica. Do not just type in Shackleton. Type Shackleton third journey Antarctica. You will get fewer results, but you can be confident that these will be relevant to the information you need.

__**Rule 3 - Enclose phrases in quotation marks**__

Suppose you had to find out which was the world's most dangerous animal. Typing the most dangerous animal in Google returns almost 100 million hits. If you enclose the phrase in quotation marks in "the most dangerous animal", you get just over 600,000. This is still a huge number, but you can be more sure the results will be relevant.

__**Rule 4 - Use the minus sign to filter unwanted results**__

Imagine you are searching for information about the Hilton hotel organization. If you just type in Hilton, you will get a huge number of pages with information about Paris Hilton, a famous Hollywood star. If, however, you type in Hilton -Paris, the search results will not include any pages about the actress.

In Google, the Advanced Search will help you use this (Boolean) logic correctly; or you can read their help page.

__**Rule 5 - Learn how to skim the search hits for webpages worth opening**__

If you have used good keywords/keyword groups and correct Boolean logic, you should have a not-too-long list of links that contain the information you are looking for. These links come with one or two lines of information about the webpage they lead to. If you read this information with some care, you can avoid clicking on irrelevant pages. It is very time-wasting to wait a minute or so for a page to load, only to find that it is useless to your needs.

__**Rule 6 - Be sure to evaluate the reliability of the information you find**__

Anyone can put information on the internet. Not all of the information is correct or up-to-date. If you find a webpage that has unusual colours/fonts or contains many spelling mistakes, you should be very careful about trusting the information it contains. See if there are details about the author somewhere on the website. Generally information found on established university websites can be considered high value while information found on people's blogs/twitter feeds are considered to be of lower quality.

__**Rule 7 - Research in your own language**__

While you may be able to decipher research in another language, it's too likely you will make a mistake. Try reading it in your language first, THEN you can try reading the source material with a far better chance of understanding it.

__**Rule 8 - Remember: you don't always need to use the internet**__

School libraries are full of books and other resources containing most of the information you need. If you use a library book, you can usually be sure of its reliability (although it may not be up-to-date). Libraries have access to excellent reference resources such as the Encyclopedia Britannica or ProQuest magazine database. It is often best to start research in the library and to use a web search engine only if the library does not have what you are looking for.

__**Rule 9 - Filter your results according to their reading level**__

You can ask Google to show you only the pages that are written at a basic (or intermediate, or advanced) level of difficulty

__**Rule 10 - Remember: finding the right information is only the beginning**__

Once you have found the information you are looking for, you will need to do something with it. Often you will make notes on it before putting it into a piece of writing of your own. In this case, be sure to keep the URLs (web addresses) and titles of the web pages.

What to do after your research is complete
Once you have done your research it is time to compile your findings. Tie together your findings and try to make a coherent story out of what you found.

Finally, you need to cite what you've found. Anything you found in your research is subject to citation. By not doing so you're plagiarizing. So how do you cite internet research?

Generally the APA style of citation applies to Psychology, Education and many Social Sciences. Contrary to that is the MLA method of citation which generally applies to fields of Literature, Arts and Humanities. We'll follow the [|APA style of citation]for on-line research. This means you have to:
