Day 2- Information and Communication Technology

The learners will develop the ability to identify various ICT tools and equipment, understand their purposes, and learn the basic functions of each. Gain hands-on experience with ICT equipment, focusing on safe handling and operation according to best practices and manufacturer guidelines.

1. INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY

2. LEARNING OBJECTIVES DEMONSTRATE PROPER HANDLING AND SAFE STORAGE OF ICT TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF SAFETY GUIDELINES IN USING ICT EQUIPMENT

3. REVIEW

4. WORKED EXAMPLE Each group will pick a tool and answer the selected question by reciting in front of the class using only six words—or as many words as there are members in the group

5. WORKED EXAMPLE 1. WHAT ARE THE ESSENTIAL TOOLS IN ICT? 2. HOW CAN ICT TOOLS IMPROVE EFFICIENCY IN TASKS? 3. EXPLAIN THE IMPORTANCE OF SELECTING THE RIGHT TOOL FOR A SPECIFIC TASK

6. HOW TO SAFELY USE ICT EQUIPMENT

7. 1.Using Anti-static Wrist Straps: Anti-static wrist straps are essential for preventing damage to sensitive electronic components (like motherboards and hard drives) caused by static electricity. HOW TO SAFELY USE ICT EQUIPMENT

8. 1.Using Anti-static Wrist Straps: How to Use: -Put the strap around your wrist and connect it to a grounded metal object (such as a metal part of the computer case or a grounding mat). -This helps discharge any static charge that may have built up on your body, preventing it from transferring to the components you handle. HOW TO SAFELY USE ICT EQUIPMENT

9. 2. Proper Tool Handling: Always use the correct tools for the job. For example, use precision screwdrivers to avoid damaging small screws or components. HOW TO SAFELY USE ICT EQUIPMENT

10. 2. Proper Tool Handling: How to Use : -Hold tools firmly and make sure they are in good condition (i.e., no broken handles or worn-out tips). -Use anti-static mats when working with components like motherboards or memory sticks to ensure they are not exposed to static electricity. -Always use the correct tool for the job—using an incorrect tool could cause damage to the equipment or lead to injury. HOW TO SAFELY USE ICT EQUIPMENT

11. 3. General Safety Practices: Before Handling: - Ensure the equipment is powered off and unplugged before working on it, unless specifically working on powered devices. -Always check for exposed cables or wires that could pose electrical hazards. HOW TO SAFELY USE ICT EQUIPMENT

12. 3. General Safety Practices: During Handling: - Avoid touching sensitive electronic components directly. Hold them by their edges to prevent damage from oils and dirt on your hands. -If working inside a computer, avoid touching the motherboard, RAM, and other sensitive components unnecessarily.

13. HOW TO STORE AND TRANSPORT ICT EQUIPMENT SAFELY

14. 1.Storing ICT Equipment: Environment: Store equipment in a dry, cool environment, avoiding places with high humidity or extreme temperatures. Avoid leaving devices in places like a car or near windows where they can be exposed to sunlight or cold. HOW TO STORE AND TRANSPORT ICT EQUIPMENT SAFELY

15. 1.Storing ICT Equipment: Positioning: -Store devices in a way that prevents them from being bumped, dropped, or exposed to dust. For example, store laptops and desktops upright like books in a shelf or cabinet. -Use padded or specially designed storage bags for more portable equipment like laptops, cameras, and external hard drives. HOW TO STORE AND TRANSPORT ICT EQUIPMENT SAFELY

16. 2. Transporting ICT Equipment: Using Proper Bags and Cases: Use padded, protective cases or bags for transporting ICT equipment. For laptops and tablets, use bags with reinforced compartments to absorb impacts and prevent scratches. HOW TO STORE AND TRANSPORT ICT EQUIPMENT SAFELY

17. 2. Transporting ICT Equipment: Using Proper Bags and Cases: Handling During Transport: Always handle the equipment carefully. If possible, use a trolley or a secure container to carry large equipment like servers or desktop computers to avoid dropping or jarring the device. HOW TO STORE AND TRANSPORT ICT EQUIPMENT SAFELY

18. 3. Precautions During Transportation: Disconnect All Cables: Before transporting any ICT equipment, ensure that all cables are disconnected, and peripherals like keyboards or mice are properly secured. HOW TO STORE AND TRANSPORT ICT EQUIPMENT SAFELY

19. 3. Precautions During Transportation: Preventing Movement: If possible, use straps or compartments in the carrying bag to prevent the equipment from moving around inside the bag. HOW TO STORE AND TRANSPORT ICT EQUIPMENT SAFELY

20. 3. Precautions During Transportation: Avoid Stack-Overloading: Don’t stack too many devices in one place. Stack devices in such a way that heavier items are on the bottom, and lighter items are on top to prevent crushing or damage. HOW TO STORE AND TRANSPORT ICT EQUIPMENT SAFELY
