Computer Education

Considering the kind and the amount of impact that computers have on individuals, groups, and organizations, one can no longer be computer illiterate in today?s world of science and technology. In almost every field and industry, computers have now governed the way we communicate, interact, and share information and knowledge. Not only that, the levels of scientific progress, technological achievements, engineering feats, etc., are almost entirely dependant on computers. That is why corporations, industries, and educational organizations have recognized and have placed so much importance on computer education.

For those pursuing careers in computer technology, numerous opportunities have arisen. Computer science, as a subject, has also evolved into a diverse field, encompassing important areas such as Algorithms, Artificial Intelligence, Bioinformatics, Computer Engineering, Computer Graphics, Computer Programming, Computer Vision, Computing, Computing Formal Grammar, Information Science or Informatics, Information Security, etc. Graduates in computer science can now choose from a wide range of job opportunities such as Database administration, Network Administration, Robotics Engineering, Graphic Arts, Internet System Administration, Telecommunications, CAD-CAM Technicians, Web development, and much more.

With the progress in Internet technology and the World Wide Web, distance learning in general and computer education in particular have also been pushed a step further. Students can now earn their computer degrees and gain access to thousands of resources, courses, and training materials from the comfort of their own homes, at their own pace, and on their own schedule. With introduction of web-based education, computer education has gained importance in the academic field, too?mainly because it provides a teaching medium that can result in more effective learning.

Using Your Computer at College

You'll Be Expected to Have a Computer and Printer, or Access to Them

The first thing students should know about using computers at college is that their professors will expect them to have computers and printers, or at least access to them. While we realize that not everyone can afford a computer and printer, we do expect your work to be typed and handed in when we ask that of you. Most schools have several computer labs. If you don't have a computer or printer, you are going to have to make it your business to use them. If you have a written assignment due, do yourself a favor and make sure you can hand it in. Having no printer or low toner is not an acceptable excuse, and if you try to use one of these conditions to excuse not having your work, it could affect your grade.

Turn off Internet Explorer and Log Off Myspace

When you are using computer for school work, one of the best things you can do for yourself is to log off the Internet. Instant messages and e-mails are much more fun than homework, but if you succumb to their temptations the night before a paper is due, you will be kicking yourself at 4:00 in the morning when the paper's still not done and your e-friends are all in bed.

Google.com is No Substitute for the Library

If, while you were reading the above section, you found yourself screaming: "But what if I have to do research?" you are probably not alone. You will probably have a library tutorial in at least one of your classes that will go in-depth with what I'm about to say: the computer is a wonderful, powerful tool, and so is the Internet, but when your professors assign research projects, they do not expect to see a works cited page full of web links. Therefore, in response to your earlier question about research, I'll say that before you sit down to write your paper, most of your research should have been done. At the library. If you need to look up one quick thing on-line, do so, then log off and get back to your Word document.

Buy a Travel Drive and Use It

While computers are wonderful and powerful tools, they are also unreliable. More than one of my students has experienced hard drive failure over the course of my teaching career. I do my best to be accommodating and understanding -- the same thing happened to me in grad school, after all -- but even with understanding professors, coming back from a loss of everything you've done over the course of the semester is hard if not impossible. Invest in a flash drive, and back up your computer with regularity.

Computer Viruses - How to Remove a Computer Virus from Your Computer

 

Computer viruses infect millions of computers every day. Viruses can destroy data, steal important information, and even make a computer completely unusable. When a computer is infected by a virus it is imperative that the virus be removed as quickly as possible.

If a computer is infected by a computer virus the computer needs to be scanned by virus scanning software. If you do not own virus scanning software than you may buy some software at www.norton.com. If you do not wish to buy the virus scanning software at this point, than you may use a free virus scan which is located at www.mcafee.com.

In order to use the freescan;

1. Go to www.mcafee.com,

2. Click on home & home office

3. Under the heading of free tools (at the bottom of the page), click scan now

4. Click scan now (accepting user agreement)

5. The program will download an activex control (make sure that they are allowed), click install when prompted to do so

6. Make sure C: Drive is highlighted and click scan

7. If any files are found by Mcafee to have viruses, go to that location on your hard-drive, and delete those files.

If you cannot access the Internet as a result of the virus or the computer is unusable, than other measures may have to be taken. If the computer is unusable, and you have another hard-drive on hand, than you may hook up the damaged hard-drive as a slave drive.

(Consult the user manual of your computer to see where your hard-drive is hooked up, and how your motherboard is setup). You will have to unhook your hard-drive, put a different hard-drive in as the primary drive, and hookup the damaged drive as the slave drive (make sure the computer is shut down and unplugged when removing computer parts, also make sure you are grounded (static electricity destroys computer parts)). Once this is done than you may boot your computer, and copy the necessary files over to the other hard drive. You may also run scans on your slave drive at this point, in order to remove the virus from the damaged hard drive.

Another way to remove a virus from your computer is to use the removal tools on www.symantec.com.

1. If another computer is available (if the virus infected computer is unusable), than go to www.symantec.com

2. Click on the Security Response Tab

3. You can look for the virus that is infected on your computer. Once you find out what virus is infected on your computer (look for the behavior that the virus is exhibiting on your computer), you can click on the Downloads Tab

4. Click on Virus Removal Tools

5. Click on the virus that is infected on your computer

6. Follow the instructions on the virus removal page in order to remove the virus from the infected computer.
