Announcements:
1. Not here last week?
  1. Get the handouts and read them, contact me for questions.
  2. You may want a review of what we did last week with binary numbers. We will need to find a time and place. the time will probably be 5 - 6 PM, and the place at WACC.. We can schedule this during the break.
2. Changes to the course web site on BlackBoard. All of the course documents, at least for the time being, are now under "External Links," not under "Course Documents."
3. Changes in syllabus (Syllabus has been changed on line to show these)
  1. Your personal web page on the course web site. Do not include anything in your personal web page that you do not want public. Examples of what could go on your personal web page are: your name, your picture (from the course photo album or elsewhere), favorite saying, about this course, about College in general, about your family and friends, pets, pet peeve, favorite band / songs / movie, etc. The web page will be due on March 26.
  2. A 3-to-4 page paper on one of the chapters LIF, PRV, IPE or INT in Computers, Society and Technology is due on April 23. The paper should have a Heading, Title, Introduction and Conclusion, and should have content based on the Chapter, any information that you want to bring in from your existing knowledge (this is NOT a research paper) and your own opinion or conclusions. The Heading should contain (a) Course and Semester, (b) your name, and (c) the Chapter you have chosen to write on.
4. On-line math tutor, an aid in practicing binary arithmetic, and maybe in practicing for the Math Proficiency Exam: http://www.cll.wayne.edu/olmt
  1. Has practice problems
  2. You will need to make up a User Name and a Password. You will also need to complete the Informed Consent, since information about your use will be logged (but there is no way that the information can be tied to you personally by name).
  3. After the preliminary transactions above, you will see the following page:
    1. Use the second choice, Online Practice with signed numbers, then Problems 19 through 25 for all the types of binary problems that we cover in this course. NOTE The problem numbers are really problem types. The online tutor will make up an endless sequence of problems of any of these types.
    2. Use the third choice, Read about binary numbers and binary arithmetic, to see explanations of binary numbers written by students taking this course.
5. The class photo album is online now. I will be taking pictures again for the course web site. This is not a requirement of the course. If you do not want your picture on the course web site, that is fine; just let me know. The camera is a digital camera. It does not use film, pictures are downloaded directly to a computer. You can copy your picture to use in do-it-yourself greeting cards, newsletters, essays and so forth.
Topics we will cover in class tonight:
1. Getting these computers up and running ("boot" process)
2. Review of counting and addition in binary
3. Binary multiplication, powers of two in binary and decimal, converting binary to decimal
4. What is a user interface: command line interface Vs GUI (Graphical User Interface)
5. Windows desktop
6. Files - path, parts of a path, extension. Hierarchical file system. URL - method, server, path
7. Making folders using Windows Explorer
8. Parts of a window and their active aspects
9. Starting and using Windows Explorer - also getting to see file extensions, and file paths
10. Word processing using Microsoft Word
11. Fonts and font types
12. Functions of a word processor
13. Selection in Windows, "Typing replaces selection"
14. Difference between Save and Save As...
Last week we did not cover getting these computers up and running. Here is how: get the computer up and running, following the steps below. These steps may change if you use a computer at another location.
1. Find the power switch on the main computer unit and push it to turn the computer on. The computer will power up and load in the operating system. This process is also called "booting", from the idea of lifting yourself up by your bootstraps.
2. Once the boot process has completed to the login point, you may or may not see a prompt about <Ctrl><Alt><Delete> to login, or you may see a plain background screen. Log in to the computer as follows: at the same time hold down the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> (may be <Del>) buttons until the login Window pops up. Release those keys, make sure that the User Name is labuser and the Password is blank, and then click the "OK" (or equivalent) button, or tap the <Enter> key.
3. Wait for the computer to finish the boot process. One way of telling when booting is complete is when the screen pointer stops changing to the hourglass shape, also the Start button and screen icons should be visible.

Review of last week. Last week we covered from the beginning of Agenda 1 down through (including) Item VII.C.4.d ('"Path" means path to a file, including the directory and file name. Example:"). We cannot, of course, cover all of this material again, but here we will review binary arithmetic before going on to build on what we did.

Counting in binary - when you reach the last symbol (9 in decimal or 1 in binary) go back to 0 in that column and carry a 1 to the next column to the left. Typical counting problem - given a number in binary, find the next number (hint - add 1)

Decimal	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16
Binary	0	1	10	11	100	101	110	111	1000	1001	1010	1011	1100	1101	1110	1111	10000

Binary addition facts:
Binary addition examples. Typical binary addition problem - add two binary numbers.

Going on with binary

Binary multiplication. The binary multiplication table is dead simple (see below). We multiply just as we did in grade school, except that afterwards we add in binary.

Powers of two in decimal and binary

Power	0	1	2	3	4	5	6
Exponent	2⁰	2¹	2²	2³	2⁴	2⁵	2⁶
Decimal
Binary

Converting binary to decimal. This uses the power of 2. It is pretty simple - each binary column is a power of 2. Just write the decimal equivalent for each column, and add up all of the decimal equivalents. Example:

Binary	Power of 2 - binary	Power of 2 - decimal	Decimal
1011 =	1000	2³	8
	+10	2¹	2
	+1	2⁰	1
	1011 (check)		11

Easier way - just write the decimal values of the powers of 2 over each binary digit and add up the powers of 2 for the bits that are 1s (but not for those that are 0s)

Command Line Interface (example: DOS) Vs Graphical User Interface or GUI (example: Windows)
1. What do we mean by "interface" anyway? An interface is the method that a user employs to get the computer to do things.
2. Command line. This is a text-based interface. There is usually a "prompt" from the operating system signifying that it is ready for a command from the user. In DOS, the prompt is usually "C:>" (), where C: indicates the default drive (the drive that will be used unless the user changes it), and > indicating to type the command to the right. Note that this means that the user must know the correct command, and spell it correctly.
  1. Characteristics of a command line interface
    1. The computer does not display what it can do; instead, the user must know the commands.
    2. To get the computer to do something, the user types in the name of the appropriate command.
    3. Just the command is not enough; the computer does nothing until the command is entered with the <Enter> key.
    4. If the command is mistyped (try mistyping dir below), the computer is not very helpful.
  2. Use a command line interface by:
    1. Click on the "Start" button
    2. Select "Run..."
    3. In the "Open" text box type command and tap the <OK> button. The DOS command line interface opens up.
      IMPORTANT: In a command line interface, you must always tap the <Enter> key after typing a command computer.
    4. Type help. What is the response?
    5. Type dir. What is the response? ("dir" = "directory" = listing of files and folders)
    6. Try dir with a typing error
    7. Type exit. Presto - you exit.
3. We have played around with the Windows GUI in several ways. The usual characteristics of a GUI are:
  1. The computer displays actions and files using letters and icons.
  2. To get the computer to do something, the user selects the words or icons using a mouse. This requires only that the user know what s/he wants to do when face-to-face with it, and an icon can hint at what the computer will do when activated.
4. An expected type of interface is the agent - suggest/ask/remind, take commands, execute, report back with results, e.g. Office Assistant
Computer systems and software
1. Applications and operating system - already covered
2. Primary applications -- the ones covered by this course - already covered
3. Windows basics
  1. Mouse actions (on a Windows mouse, use left button)
    1. NOTE: The mouse is the thing you hold onto. It is an example of a "pointing device." Other types of pointing devices include the trackball, touch screen and touchpad. The thing on the screen is called the "mouse icon," "pointer" or "mouse pointer" (and sometimes for shorthand the mouse, but this can be confusing). However, the mouse icon can have other shapes than the pointer or left arrow shape (), such as the right arrow or hourglass.
    2. Point. Place the mouse cursor or "pointer" over a feature on the screen by using the mouse. The active part of the pointer is the extreme point of the arrow. In many cases, when you point to an icon, a text box pops up with its full name and often some status information. Also, once you click on the Start button, you just need to point to the items on it, up until you get to the item you want to select, and at that time you must click. But just pointing can be useful.
    3. Click. Point the pointer and click the left mouse button once. Use this to actuate buttons and menu items, and to select (highlight, getting ready for action) icons.
      1. "Click on" means to point at the feature named and click the left mouse button once. Example: "Click on the Netscape icon."
    4. Right-click. Same as Click, except use the right mouse button. Used to bring up a menu of actions from all menus that you can use in the current situation. (There is no left-click; that is just "click.")
    5. Double-click. Point the mouse and click the left mouse button twice, rapidly. Use this to open icons (can also Click on the icon to select it and then tap <Return>).
      1. Double-click on Clock to open it
    6. Drag. Point the mouse at a screen feature, hold the button down and move the mouse with the button held down. Use this to move windows and icons, and to change the size of windows, to select a range of text in a word processor or a range of cells in a spreadsheet. Try moving the clock window by dragging on the blue bar at its top (this is the "title bar.")
    7. NOTE: Be careful any time that an icon, text, or other screen feature is selected, or highlighted. Hit the <Delete> key even by accident and the selection is gone.
  2. Windows desktop. This has the Start button, taskbar and tray at the bottom, with desktop icons above.
    1. Task Bar - applications that are running, click on icon to make that application active and bring its window to the front
    2. Tray - applications that are started automatically, on bottom right of screen.
  3. Active elements of windows. What are the parts of a window? What can you use them for (what aspect of this part is active)? To work along, start Microsoft Word using Start > Programs > Microsoft Word.
    1. Title bar - uses are see what the window is (its title), to show if window is activated (blue for activated, grey for unactivated), to show what file you have open, and to move the window by dragging on it (this is the active aspect)
    2. Minimize / Maximize / Close boxes at the right end of the title bar
      1. Minimize = reduce window back to an icon
      2. Maximize = make window take up whole screen
      3. Close = leave the application
      4. When a window is maximized, its maximize button turns into double overlapping boxes. Click this button to return the window to its original (smaller) size.
    3. Control box at left end of title bar, duplicates actions of close and other boxes at the right.
    4. Menu Bar - a written list of options that drops down when you click on the text on the menu bar. Click on the option you you want to choose it. Usually just below the Title Bar, but it can be moved around, so be ready to look for it on an Exam.
    5. Icon - a small picture indicating a file that can be started or run with a double-click or alternately, use a single click and then tap the <Enter> key
    6. Button - a rectangular picture that looks like a button, often with a label or icon, that takes an action when it is (single-)clicked. A button changes color and shape slightly when "clicked" or "depressed."
    7. Tool bar - a bar of buttons with icons, usually just below the menu bar, that are shortcuts for menu items. Toolbars are often a way to work more efficiently. For example, do exactly the same things as the File > Open and File > Save buttons, and let you work faster. Clicking on diskette icon on the left is exactly equivalent to the File > Save menu action.
    8. Scroll bars - bars at the right side and/or bottom of the screen with up and down arrowheads and an "elevator box." These are for moving ("scrolling") through a long text file. The elevator box ("box") shows your location within the file, and how much of the document is showing on the screen. Click on the arrowheads (a, d) for small movements. Click on the bar near the arrowhead (c, d) to move one full screen at a time. Drag the elevator box for large movements (fastest for large documents). Try all three.
    9. Border - use it to resize -- mouse cursor changes shape to double-headed left-right arrow - drag on the border (left-right or up-down only)
    10. Resize Box. You can resize in both the horizontal and vertical directions by dragging on the resize box in the lower right corner of the window.
    11. Status bar. A bar along the bottom of the window that gives status information, What gets on here varies from one Application to another.
    12. Dialog: a collection of active elements to accomplish a multipart task. Dialogs are windows, so they have title bars. We will identify dialogs by their title -- the text on the title bar. When you save a file for the first time in Word, you use the "Save As..." dialog.
    13. Pull-down list - a line of text with a down-pointing arrowhead to the right. When you click the arrowhead, a list of options drop down. Click on the option you want to choose it.
      1. On the Save As... dialog, you use the pull-down drive list to choose drive a:
    14. List box - a list of choices inside a box, with the chosen item shown above the list.
      1. On the Open dialog, you use the list box of file names
  4. Managing windows - double click on the time in the tray (bottom-right corner of the screen). This will open up the clock window.
    1. Open an icon into a window - double-click the icon
    2. Moving - drag on title bar
    3. Resizing - drag on border -- dragging on a corner can change height and width at once
    4. Closing
    5. Maximizing / minimizing
    6. Bring to front, same as activating -- single click on a window anywhere to do this
  5. Windows usually gives you several methods for doing anything. For example, to close or exit from a program, you can do any one of the following:
    1. Click the program's Close Box (X) in its upper right corner
    2. Choose the menu item File, and then Exit
    3. In some cases, <Ctrl>Q (means to hold down the <Ctrl> key and tap Q while <Ctrl> is down.
4. Files
  1. What is a file?
    1. Collection of related information
    2. Exists in secondary (permanent) storage (files downloaded over the Internet, email or other network do not exist in secondary storage unless and until you save them).
    3. Has a name - filename and extension: filename.ext, at least in Windows. (Macintosh computers do not use file extensions.)
    4. Wildcards -- ? stands for any one character. * stands for any number of characters (including zero characters). For example, *.exe stands for a file with any name and an extension of exe. In Microsoft Excel, there are several file types, whose extensions start with xl. This can be indicated by *.xl*
    5. The filename identifies (or should) the content of the file for you, the user. When saving a file, Windows applications will propose a filename, but you should usually change this to describe the content for you, such as "SyllabusW03.htm"
    6. The extension, in Windows, tells the system which application created the file, and what type of file it is. Examples: *.doc is document produced by Microsoft Word, *.xls is a spreadsheet produced by Microsoft Excel, *.htm or *.html is a web page, and so forth. When saving a file, Windows applications will propose an extension. Do not change this proposed or default extension, or you may have trouble finding and opening the file.
  2. In Windows, you work with files directly using Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer). Microsoft puts Windows Explorer in different places. Start Windows Explorer as follows (Windows 2000): use Start > Programs > Accessories, then look for an icon that is a file folder with a blue magnifying glass on top (). If there is a double-down arrowhead () at the bottom of the Programs list, that means that Windows is hiding seldom-used items, and you should either (a) wait briefly until Windows decides to show all items, or (b) click on the down arrow to force showing all items immediately. (In earlier versions of Windows, Windows Explorer is under Start > Windows.)
    1. By default, Windows Explorer hides most extensions from you, but in this course you will want to see the extensions. To raise the stakes, all applications follow the settings of Windows Explorer. Here is how to make Windows Explorer (and the other applications) to show you file extensions:
      1. Choose the menu item Tools > Folder Options > View
      2. Make sure that "Hide extensions for known file types" is unclicked
      3. Click the <OK> button
  3. Hierarchical file system. ("Hierarchical" means "like an outline," and with respect to files, refers to the existence of folders, sub-folders, sub-sub folders etc.)
    1. Directories / folders. A directory can contain files and other directories (sub-directories), while a file contains data. Does a folder contain data? Only indirectly, in its files. The direct answer is, "No, a folder does not contain data."
    2. Tree
    3. Path - drive, folder(s), file name, extension
      1. Root directory
      2. Examples:
        C:\
        C:\STUDENTS
        C:\STUDENTS\SECT571
      3. "Path" means path to a file, including the directory and file name. Example:
        C:\STUDENTS\SECT571\PROSPECTUS.WPS
      4. The tree in the figure above represents the path C:\Comp&Soc\CASW03\www2\Dum\Signin.txt
      5. Windows Explorer will also show you the path - Tools > Folder Options > View then make sure that "Display the full path in the address bar" and "Display the full path in title bar" are both checked, then tap the <OK> key
      6. Local drives Vs Network drives. Local drives are physically attached to your computer, while network drives are on another computer, accessed through a network connection.
    4. The path and tree are different representations of the same information
    5. On exams, you will often be given a path to save a file to. "Walk the path" from left to right - drive, folder(s), then lastly the file.
    6. Web URL - Universal Resource Locator, for example
      http://www.cll.wayne.ed/isp/drbowen/casw01/welcome.htm
      - Parts are method, Domain Name (of web server computer), path and file
  4. Making folders on a floppy diskette using Windows Explorer
    1. Insert a floppy diskette into the diskette drive.
      1. The writing ("HD") is on on the top of the diskette. The metal door is on the front of the diskette. Put the diskette into the topside up and front first.
      2. Push firmly until the computer takes the disk in the rest of the way. If the diskette sticks, do not force it.
    2. If Windows Explorer is on the taskbar, click on its button to make it active. If not, open it from Start > Programs > Accessories
    3. In the Folders window on the left, scroll up and find the A: icon, and click on it to select it.
    4. Use the File > New menu item and select Folder.
    5. Type a name for your new Folder, for example MyFirstFolder.
    6. Make a sub-folder as follows:
      1. Double-click on the icon for your new folder to open it. (Clicking on the letters is apt to start the process for changing the name, which will be confusing.)
      2. Use the File > New > Folder menu item and type a name for your new sub-folder.
    7. Notice that the sub-folder is inside the first folder.
      1. How would you make a new top-level folder?
      2. How would you make a sub-sub folder?
      3. How would you make a new sub-folder at the same level as your first sub-folder?
    8. If you get something wrong, don't take the long way of deleting everything and starting over - just drag the folder to where you want it.
5. Overview of word processing using MS Word. Word Processing is for managing text.
  1. If Microsoft Word is still open, activate it. Otherwise, open Microsoft Word using Start > Programs > Word.
  2. File menu handles files as a whole. Open, save, print
  3. Text creation or entry: making new text. Done with the keyboard in the document window
  4. Edit - change text, including its order. Cut, Copy, Paste, Find, Replace
  5. Select text by dragging over it, or click at one end of selection (beginning or end) then use arrow keys with <Shift> key down to move selection or click at other end (end or beginning) with <Shift> key down
  6. Format - change the appearance of text
    1. Font - applies to individual letters
      1. Serif (for example, Times Roman or Courier) Vs San Serif (for example, Arial)
      2. Monospacing (all letters the same width, for example Courier) Vs Proportional (i is narrow, w is wide, for example Times Roman)
      3. True Type - print is the same as the screen. Either the font listing has a "TT" icon in front of it, or "New" in the name, or both. Example, Courier New, Times New Roman (Microsoft)
    2. Paragraph - applies to whole paragraph. Line spacing, indent, outdent or hanging
      1. "Weaker" methods are Space Bar and Tab for centering, indenting, etc.
      2. Start a new line with <Enter> key, but start a new page with Insert / Break... / Page break, or better yet by grouping text to be kept together. to do this, start a new page if break will come in the middle. Select text that is to be kept on the same page, then use Format / Paragraph... / Line and Page Breaks then select both Keep lines together and Keep with next, then click "OK."
  7. Tools - automate actions, such as Spell Check and Grammar Check, Auto Correct - can be turned on and off item by item. Also configure Word for the way you want it to work - Tools / Customize... and Tools / Options...
  8. Type some text, a line or so.
  9. Selection in Windows - selecting an object or section for action. Drag over SOME of your text to select it.
    1. "Typing Replaces Selection" is the default. With some of your text selected, and while watching the screen all the time, type something on the keyboard. What happened to your selection?
    2. You can change "Typing Replaces Selection in Tools > Options > Edit. Click or unclick "Typing Replaces Selection," then click OK.
    3. Auto correction is another feature that you may want to control. This makes corrections as you type, without notice. To change how this option works, use Tools > AutoCorrect...
  10. Save and Save As... Make sure you have some text in the Microsoft Word document window.
    1. Save Vs Save As... - Save repeats the last Save As..., use Save As... whenever you want to change the path (drive, folder, name)
  11. More about using Word
    1. Select some text by dragging over it with the mouse. The selected text is "highlighted" -- shown in reverse colors. This is the normal Windows signal that something is selected for further action.
    2. Copy the selected text to the Windows "clipboard" (a virtual holding location for data) by selecting the Edit / Copy menu item. Alternate action: <Ctrl>C.
    3. Move the insertion point (the "I-Beam" cursor) to another point in the document. Copy the selection into this document using the menu item Edit / Paste. Alternate action: <Ctrl>V
    4. Save the new version using the diskette icon on the Word toolbar. Alternate action: Use the menu item File / Save.
    5. Save the new version under a new name using the menu item File / Save As... Check that the save location is still the floppy diskette (A:) and type in a new file name, changing the name but not the extension. (Depending on how your computer is set up, you may not see the extension. If you cannot see the extension, you cannot change it anyway.
    6. The difference between Save and Save As...:
      1. Save repeats the last Save As... - drive, folders, name, extension and file type
      2. Use Save As... to change any one or more of the above items in Save.
    NOTE 1: To move text, "Cut" it first, then paste it in the new location.
    NOTE 2: Using Cut / Copy and Paste, you can move or copy a selection within a document as well as between documents. You can also move or copy between applications, such as between a word processing document and a spreadsheet.
    NOTE 3: Use File Save... in the following circumstances: (a) the first time you save a new document (if you choose File / Save the first time, you will actually get File / Save As...), (b) When you want to change the name, location or file format of the file (the original copy will continue to exist) or (c) when you want to double-check the name, location or file type (select Save As..., check that everything is the way you want, then click Cancel). Later, we will even cut/copy and paste files from one drive to another, and parts of graphics, too. Cut/Copy and Paste is very general and easy to use in Windows.
    NOTE 4: To move text within the same document, you may prefer "Drag 'n Drop. to use Drag 'n Drop, you first select the text to be moved by dragging the mouse over it, then release the mouse button, then click and hold. A small box should appear beneath the mouse icon. This is the sign that you can now drag the text to the desired location.
    1. Close your file but leave Word open.
      1. In the upper right corner of the Word window, there are two sets of controls. Click on the lower "X" to close your file.
    2. Close Word by clicking on the upper "X"
6. Word processors in general
  1. The primary function of a word processor is to manage text or words. This includes:
    1. Entering, moving, deleting and copying text
    2. Formatting, or changing the appearance of text as to alignment (centering etc.); orientation such as horizontal and vertical; font face, size and attributes such as bold and italic; formatting paragraphs such as indenting, skipping lines before and after, and changing the line space
    3. While-file operations such as saving documents in a file, opening an existing file and saving a file with a different path (file, folders, name).
  2. Common "extra" functions include
    1. Writer's aids such as spell check and grammar check
    2. Adding graphics, either from a file or by a drawing tool
    3. Customizing letters for a group of people (Mail Merge)
    4. Importing and exporting to other word processor formats and to and from HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language, or web format)
