#With your friends, compare a mobile phone and the computer and list the things each does
#In small groups, with teacher guidance, you can switch on a [[Explore_a_computer|computer]] and identify the parts you are familiar with
#The teacher will help you create a folder on your computer, for saving your work done in the class.
#For any one mobile application, draw a flowchart to document all the steps in using the application. Click [[:File:example flowchart.odg |here]] [[File:example flowchart.odg|here]] for an example.
#With your friends, compare a [[wikipedia:Mobile_phone|mobile phone]] and the computer and list the things each does. Discuss with your friends if there is any difference.
#In groups, you can draw concept map for the following things (your teacher will discuss with you additional activities):
#[[File:flowchart for discussion.png|300px|right|A sample flowchart]]Develop a flowchart for any activity you have done, or seen someone do. It is better if this is an ICT activity - it can be using the phone, using the computer, playing a video on the TV, etc. See on the side for an example of a flowchart. What you see here is a flowchart for downloading an app on the phone. This has been developed using an application software called [[Learn_LibreOffice_Writer|LibreOffice Draw]], and [[Learn_Screenshot#Functionalities|converted into an image format]]. You can develop a similar flowchart.
#In groups, you can draw flow charts for the following things (your teacher may discuss additional activities with you):
##Connecting a TV to a cable network
