Introductory Message

For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the Technology and Livelihood Education – CSS 9 Self-Learning

Module on Checking and Saving Information!

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through mayor, Honorable
Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K to 12
Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in developing
this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.
 For the Learner:

 LESSON

CHECKING AND SAVING INFORMATION

The documents you created electronically are saved for future use. The saved
document now becomes a file. A file is a collection of data stored in one unit,
determined by a filename. It can be a document, picture, audio or video stream or
other collection of data. It is a group of data that a user can recover, modify, delete,
save, print or send to an e-mail program. Below are steps on how to save a document.

Saving a document

The document you created can be save so you can access and edit it later. Word
offers two ways to save a file: Save and Save As. To save the document (for the
first time):

1. Go to the File menu.

2. Locate the SAVE command and choose where to save the file.
3. The Save As dialog box will appear. Select the location where you want to save
the document.

4. Enter the file name in the File Name box, then click Save.

5. The documents will be saved.

Now the document is stored with the name and in the specified location.

_________________________________________________________________________________

NOTE:

Use the Save command every now and then to update and save your document.

Click the Save button on the Quick Access toolbar or use the keyboard shortcut by
pressing Ctrl and S key simultaneously.
The Save button from the Quick access toolbar can also be used to save the
document for the first time, or to save changes to an already saved document, in the
same location and with the same filename.

The Save As command on the File menu can be used to save the current document
in a different location, or with a different name, or in a different document format, or
to assign a password to the document. The Save As command always displays
the Save As dialog box, where you can do one or combination of these.

Most of the time, files are saved in the computer. Not realizing that these files can
be corrupted when hardware failed to function and sometimes files are accidentally
overwritten or deleted. It is very important to consider where to save our files for
ease in accessing them. There are storage devices where files can be save and be
accessible anywhere.

Checking the saved document:

1. Click the Start Menu at the bottom left

corner.

2. Then choose File Explorer.

3. Click the location (e.g. Desktop), then look for the file (e.g. Lesson 2) or folder you
saved.
Storage devices

A storage device refers to a computer hardware used to store information

permanently or temporarily. They are also known as storage medias or storage
medium. Theses devices can be external or installed inside the computer, server, and
other computing systems.

There are two types of storage devices

 Primary storage device

A primary storage device is smaller in size and designed to acquire or hold

data temporarily. Primary storage devices are found mostly inside the
computer and have the fastest access to data. Examples of Primary devices
include Cache memory and Random Access Memory (RAM).

 Secondary storage device

A secondary storage device can store data permanently. They can

accommodate bigger amount of data. These devices can be both external and
internal to a computer. Examples for Secondary storage devices are hard
drives, solid state drives, optical media, USB thumb drives, SD cards and
cloud storage.
