The 3 Fundamental Elements of the Computer- Jannacel A. Paraiso

This week we learned about the fundamental elements of the computer. These are the:

  • System Unit>acts like the center or core, processing the data and information it recieves from input devices.

  • Input Devices>the one processing the data an information.

  • Output Devices>these are the devices like printers. It receives the system unit's processed information.

I also learned that:

System Case

>is a plastic and metal box that houses the components such as the motherboard, disk drives, and the power supply unit. There are 2 types of system case, these are the desktop and the Tower.

Desktop case- is designed to sit horizontally on a surface, so that it is wider than it is long.

Tower case- is designed to sit vertically on a surface so that it is higher than it is wide.

The case has three(3) parts:

  • The Cover- can be removed by either undoing the screws at the back or pressing together the clips that release it.
  • The Front Panel- provides access to the floppy and CD, a power on/ off switch, and Light emitting dipodes or LEDS to indicate drive operations.
  • The Rear Panel- has the power supply unit, motherboard I/O ports, and te Expansion card I/O ports.

Mother Board

>the largest board of the computer system, it conains the CPU, Bios, memory, mass storage interfaces, serial and all the controllers required to control standard pripheral devices such as the display screen, keyboard, and disk drive.

Central Processing Unit(CPU)

>a device that interprets and executes instructions. It functions as the brain of the computer.
There are 2 types of memory:

  • Main Memory
  • Secondary Memory

Cooking-Joannacel A. Paraiso



In our cooking day, we had so much fun. We cooked Chicken Afritada as our main dish, Halfmoon bola-bola as our side dish, Sotanghon soup as our soup, fresh fruit salad as our dessert and buko juice as our beverage.

Our table arrangement is very beautiful too(you can see it in the picture). And because we don't have available vase, we use the coconutshell as our vase. we also put beautiful and colorful flowers in it. We also put some designs in our food so that it will have a good presentation.


We cooke our foods deliciously too and we are so happy that our teachers like it. And because of that we got two 98% and two 99%.

I am so proud of myself because we did a good job.

LEARNINGS OF THE WEEK (SISON)

The 3 Fundamental Elements of the Computer
System Unit, Output devices, and Input Devices.

The System Unit acts like the center or core, processing the data and information it recieves from input devices.

Output devices like printers receive the system unit's processed information.

  • Desktop case is designed to sit horizontally on a surface, so that it is wider than it is long while the Tower case is designed to sit vertically on a surface so that it is higher than it is wide.
The case has 3 parts which are the Cover, front panel, and the rear panel.
  • The cover can be removed by either undoing the screws at the back or pressing together the clips that release it.
  • The front panel provides access to the floppy and CD, a power on/ off switch, and Light emitting dipodes or LEDS to indicate drive operations.

COOKING FOR NUTRITION MONTH


We're very excited at the beginning but at the end, all of us we're tired of fixing our stuffs...


When it comes to cooking, we made our best to serve great food. At the same time, we encountered multiples of problems, including incomplete materials and unwanted circumstances.


But then, we've finished our work at time, and prepared for the judgement... We're not particular with the grades because we've done our best and enjoyed the cooking!


NAVARRA - Last week of July

COOKING AND OUR LESSONS
This week, our activity is so fun. We had our cooking activity because it is a nutrition month. It is very fun, I admit but despite of all the laughter there are also quarrels and misunderstanding between the members of our group. There are arguments and discussions regarding the menu to be cooked and the preparations but in the end, we still make things to be settled.

This activity teaches me a lot. I myself know that I don’t have any talent in cooking but with this activity, there are additions on my brain regarding cooking. And it is also a way of making people see that I can do what others can do even if I am not as expert as they are.

There are also lessons that our teacher discussed to us after that wonderful activity. We discussed the 3 fundamental elements of the computer namely the system unit, input devices and output devices.

I learned that system unit acts as a center or a core that processes data or information it receives from the input devices. And output devices are the finished product or data that the system unit has been processed.

I also learned that mother board is the largest board in the computer system. It contains the CPU, chips and other controllers that are needed to control the other parts of the computer like the mouse, monitor and etc.

I also learned that the motherboard battery is used to maintain or preserved the clock’s time and the stored data while the computer is turned off.

NAVARRA - movie maker

MOVIE MAKER!!!!!

It was very hard for us to make a movie. Even though it is a group project, it is really hard. It is like making a thing but we don’t know how to start or when. There are also many obstacles that our group met. We still try our very best to make this project as soon as possible but we didn’t make it.

It is so hard to find videos and graphics that are suitable for the topics. The sounds are also hard to find. Even graphics are nowhere to see. Making a movie is not an easy task to do. Our patience and creativity are really tested while doing this project.

sing it was just last last week, and yet we didn’t pass it. The reason that I know is that it just so difficult and we started this project too late.

But of coarse, I know and we know that realizing our mistakes are at the end part of our life.

NAVARRA - what is computer

WHAT IS COMPUTER?
We tackle this lessons last last week,I cant remember the exact date because I post this learnings of the week too late. We had a lot of activities done during this time. And I learned a lot.

I learned that computers is an electronic device that helps people perform different tasks. Computers is also a device that store and process information. And I learned that the general definition of computer is, a device that uses digital technology to process and manipulate information.

I also learned that there are 6 types of computer with different functions and capacities.
These computers are:
Microcomputers that has 2 classification namely personal computer and portable computer.
Workstation that has a more powerful processor and additional memory.
Minicomputer that is consider as a midsized computer. Its power is in between the workstation and the mainframe.
Mainframe that uses its power to execute many programs concurrently.
Supercomputers that channels all its power into executing a few programs as fast as possible; and
Wearable computers which is the latest computer. It can be a portable computer but has a very large memory.

I also learned that some portable computers are laptops that are also known as the notebooks. There are also tablet pc that is also consider as a notebook that is touch screen. There is also a PDA or the personal digital assistant that were originally designed as persona; organizer.
