Introductory Message
Welcome to TLE/TVL- ICT (Computer Programming - Java)!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Antique and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas
through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is
developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible
adults) in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education
Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materialsaimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The TLE/TVL- ICT (Computer Programming - Java) Activity Sheet will help
you facilitate the leaching-learning activities specified in each Most Essential
Learning Competency (MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between
you and learner. This will be made available to the learners with the references/links
to ease the independent learning.

For the learner:

The TLE/TVL- ICT (Computer Programming - Java) Activity Sheet is

developed to help you continue learning even if you are not in school. This learning
material provides you with meaningful and engaging activities for independent
learning. Being an active learner, carefully read and understand the instructions then
perform the activities and answer the assessments. This will be returned to your
facilitator on the agreed schedule.

II. Background Information for Learners

Internet is the wider network that allows computer networks around the
world run by companies, governments, universities and other organizations to
talk to one another. The result is a mass of cables, computers, data centers,
routers, servers, repeaters, satellites and wifi towers that allows digital
information to travel around the world.

It is that infrastructure that lets you order the weekly shop, share your life
on Facebook, stream Outcast on Netflix, email your aunt in Wollongong and
search the web for the world’s tiniest cat.

In this lesson, we are going to discuss concepts like web browsing

software, popular web browsing software, configuring web browser, search
engines, popular search engines/search for content, accessing web browser,
using favorites folder, downloading web pages and printing web pages.

Web Browsing Software

"World Wide Web." It is important to know that this is not a synonym

for the Internet. The World Wide Web, or just "the Web," as ordinary people
call it, is a subset of the Internet. The Web consists of pages that can be
accessed using a Web browser. The Internet is the actual network of
networks where all the information resides. Things like Telnet, FTP, Internet
gaming, Internet Relay Chat (IRC), and e-mail are all part of the Internet, but
are not part of the World Wide Web. The Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol
(HTTP) is the method used to transfer Web pages to your computer. With

4
hypertext, a word or phrase can contain a link to another Web site. All Web
pages are written in the hyper-text markup language (HTML), which works in
conjunction with HTTP.

Web Browser
Web browser is a type of software that allows you to find and view
websites on the Internet. Even if you didn't know it, you're using a web
browser right now to read this page! There are many different web browsers,
but some of the most common ones include Google Chrome, Internet
Explorer, Safari, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox.
Method 1
Step 1 − Go to "Start Menu".

Step 2 − From the menu opened, click on the web browser (Mozilla, Google
Chrome, Microsoft Edge).

5
 Method 2 − Alternate way is to click the shortcut icon on the taskbar or
desktop.

Popular Web Browsing Software

 Mozilla Firefox -Mozilla Firefox is a web browsing software developed in the

year 2002 by the Mozilla Foundation. It is designed to work on all operating
systems like Windows, Macintosh, Linux, and Android. It is written using C+
+, JavaScript, Rust, C, CSS, XUL, and XBL. The best browser for privacy
protection.

6
 Microsoft Edge-Microsoft Edge, formerly known as Internet Explorer is a
web browsing software developed in the year 1995 by Microsoft. It is
designed to work on all operating systems like Windows, Macintosh, Linux
and Android and is written using C++ language. A genuinely great browser
from the former browser bad guys.

7
  Google Chrome- Google Chrome is a web browsing software developed in
the year 2008 by Google Inc. First, it was designed for windows platform,
and later adopted to Linux, Macintosh, and even Android. It is written using

 Vivaldi- Vivaldi is the brainchild of former Opera developers, and like Opera
it does things differently from the big-name browsers. In this case, very
differently. Vivaldi is all about customization, and you can tweak pretty much
everything from the way navigation works to how the user interface looks.
