When people think about computers, they imagine the computer
machine with monitor screen, keyboard, and “the box” or CPU which contains the electronic
parts and circuits. It is more difficult to realize, however, that the computer
hardware can hardly be useful without the program or system that tells what the
computer machine should do. This is also called the software.
2 types of software:
1. Systems software- this is the operating system that is
found or bundled inside all computer machines.
2. Applications software- this contains the system that
commands the particular task or solves a particular problem.
Microsoft Windows
This is also referred to as program. Microsoft Windows or
Windows for short is an operating environment between the user and the computer
operating system. Also called a shell, it is a layer that creates the way the
computer should work.
This can be visited on the internet or can be bought from
software shops or dealers. The teacher through his school should decide on the
best computer-based instructional (CBI) materials for the school resource
collection. But beware since CBIs need much improvement, while web-based
educational resources are either extremely good or what is complete garbage.
