Gary John Norman/Lifesize/Getty Images Basic computer courses have been incorporated into elementary school curricula.In 2010, basic computer skills are not only important but necessary. Most institutions offer basic computer classes for students of all ages. The classes enable students to perform basic computer functions as well as understand basic computer vocabulary and technology. The students also learn about common computer components.Computer FamiliarityBasic computer class objectives include learning about the computer hardware and software. Hardware technology includes learning about physical computer parts. Learning about computer programs, or software, includes those that are already installed and those that need to be downloaded to the computer. Many basic computer classes also include significant training on how to use the mouse as well as how to become proficient with using the keyboard. In addition, basic computer classes also involve training in how to troubleshoot basic computer problems, including learning proper startup and shutdown procedures.Operating SystemMost basic computer classes also focus on learning how to navigate the Windows environment for PCs or the Mac OS for Apple computers. Since most computers have some version of the operating system already installed, the classes involve learning about the desktop, task bar, and the start menu that is part of any standard operating system. Students also are made familiar with computer tools, such as the calculator and basic operating system components, such as the title bar, menu bar, tool bars, task bar and scroll bars as well as how to minimize or maximize a window. The operating system environment training also often involves a discussion of safe Internet usage and how to use the Internet technology for various purposes. As part of that training, basic classes also focus on how to use the Internet for communication purposes, such as email, and for research purposes, such as writing educational papers.TroubleshootingAnother important component of basic computer classes is how to handle the computer when it is malfunctioning. This includes dealing with a frozen computer, how to restart or reboot the computer as well as how to properly save all files and work before shutting down the computer. The classes also teach how to locate any misplaced folders and files on the computer. The students are taught how to use vital computer features, such as Help, Find, and Settings, to customize the computer. Students also are taught about built-in keyboard functions for times when the mouse is not working or is not available, so they can accomplish basic computer tasks without it.
