Foreword
As the first cohort to embark on the Nine Year Continuous Basic Education at secondary level, we are
pleased to offer you a new series of Grade 7 textbooks. These textbooks have been designed in line
with the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) and syllabi for Grades 7, 8 and 9 − documents that
offer a comprehensive notion of learning and teaching with regard to each subject area. These may be
consulted on the MIE website, www.mie.ac.mu.
This set of textbooks aims at providing a smooth transition from Grade 6 so that learners gradually
get initiated into the requirements of secondary schooling. As per the philosophy propounded by the
NCF, the content and pedagogical approach, as well as the activities, have been crafted to allow for an
incremental and continuous improvement of the learners’ cognitive skills. The content is contextual and
based on the needs of the Mauritian learners. Care has been taken to provide the basics that should
help every student develop key competencies, knowledge, skills, attitudes and values that would make
him or her a successful learner for the grades beyond. The comments and suggestions of a variety of
stakeholders have been kept in mind. We are especially appreciative of those made by educators who
have been part of our validation panels, and whose suggestions emanate from long standing experience
and practice in the field.
The production of this series of textbooks, within a relatively short period of time, has been a challenge
to the writers who have invested a considerable amount of time, effort and energy into the process.
I would therefore wish to thank all those who have been part of the whole process for the time they
devoted to it and their perseverance. The panel coordinators are to be commended for their leadership
and insistence on maintaining the standard and quality of the textbooks, while ensuring that the
objectives of the National Curriculum Framework are translated in the content.
Every endeavor involves a number of dedicated, hardworking and able staff whose contribution
needs to be acknowledged. Professor Vassen Naëck, Head Curriculum Implementation and Textbook
Development and Evaluation, had the very demanding task of ensuring that all panel leaders are
adequately guided with respect to the objectives of the NCF, while ascertaining that the instruction
designs are appropriate for the age group being targeted. I also have to acknowledge the efforts of the
Graphic Artists and the Graphic Unit for putting in much hard work to ensure that MIE publications have
a distinctive quality that singles them out. My thanks go equally to the support staff who have worked
hard to ensure that every one receives the necessary support and work environment that is conducive
to a creative endeavor.
I am thankful to all those who provided the support, both within and outside the MIE, and to the Ministry
of Education, Human Resources, Tertiary Education and Scientific Research for giving us the opportunity
to be part of the whole reform process.

Director
Mauritius Institute of Education
Preface
The ICT panel has taken care to make learning of ICT accessible to all. We have also ensured that students
are empowered with the tools to think critically by accessing an abundance of information in a variety of
forms and by processing them in meaningful ways, to think creatively with the support of various tools,
to solve problem and generate knowledge in an interdisciplinary and collaborative manner thereby
providing them with opportunities to work and communicate with each other.
The workbook has been written with the National Curriculum Framework in mind. It has been designed
to provide the knowledge, practical skills and understanding that students will learn through studying
Information and Communication Technology at Grade 7. The ICT workbook prepares the students with
ICT skills and competencies for the emerging knowledge society, helping them develop capacity to
solve problems in digital environments.
We believe that students should be engaging in practical activities not only one or two terms but
throughout the year along with learning the theory. So we have design a workbook that will allow
students to blend theory and practical.
Throughout the workbook there are a number of colours, boxes and symbols used to facilitate learning.
We have created an avatar named Tipiyu that will be a guide across the workbook.

Unit 1 I Health, Safety & Ethics
Some safety precautions you need to adopt when using ICT tools
• Avoid eating and drinking near computers because you may get an electric shock
if the drink is spilt on a computer.
• Computers use lots of wires and this may cause users to trip over if not well arranged.
• Do not insert objects in the system unit.
• Do not overload a power socket as this may cause overheating and even fire.
• Switch off the computer before connecting or disconnecting any cables.
• Do not open the system unit while the computer is ON because you may get an
electric shock.
• Don’t switch your computer ON if socket is damaged.
• Make sure your computer is on a strong table as some parts are heavy and can cause
injury if they fall on people.
• Place your computer in a well ventilated space to prevent overheating of the
equipment.
• Do not try to repair your computer as you are not trained for this.

A Computer Network is a set of computers or electronic devices that are connected together.
A computer, printer, scanner, mobile phones or a file server can form part of the network. The
connection between devices can be done via wires or without wires (wireless). Connected
devices share information and resources among themselves in a network.

3.4 The WWW
The World Wide Web is the most used service on the Internet.
The WWW is the collection of millions and millions of documents called Web pages.
Each web page can be a combination of text, pictures, audio clips, video clips or animations.
Going from one web page to another web page, by clicking on a link is called surfing the WWW.
A web browser is software that allows access to the Internet and allows you to view web pages.
Mozilla Firefox
Google Chrome

3.5 Uniform Resource Locator
We read earlier that the WWW is the collection of all webpages on the Internet, and to go from
one page to another we click on a link. So how does the browser know which webpage to
display when a link is clicked?
Every webpage on the WWW has an address. This address is called the Uniform Resource
Locator (URL).
For example, the URL of The University of Mauritius is www.uom.ac.mu. This is the address of
the university on the Internet.
When you click on a link the browser gets the URL of the webpage pointed to by the link.
Knowing the address, the browser can fetch and display the webpage requested.

3.6 Search Engines
A search engine allows you to search for information on the Internet. It also has a URL.
A search engine uses what we call keywords in order to look for specific information.
For example, if you want to look for information on the history of Mauritius, the keywords can be:
History of Mauritius
The results sent to the web browser contain web pages, images, videos and other types of files.
www.google.mu
www.bing.com
www.yahoo.com

3.7 Using keywords in web searches
Keywords are words or short phrases that the user types in the search box of a search engine.
Keywords may return millions of results, most of which would be irrelevant. Refining keywords
will give less search results and will be more related to what the user wants.
Activity 5
Enter the number of search results for the following keywords typed in your search engine.

3.9 Electronic Mail (E-Mail)
What is Email?
An Email is an electronic message or mail that you send or receive over a network. To send an
email you will need:
• A computer or other devices (e.g. tablet, Smartphone) connected a network, eg. the Internet.
Both the sender and the receiver must have an e-mail address. An e-mail address is associated
with an e-mail account. Every user has a user name or user ID (e.g. tipiyu25) and a password.
The password prevents unauthorized access to the mail.
57
Log into your email provider's website.
• You will need to log in with the account you have with that service.
If you don't have an account, you can create one from a variety of free email services.
The user will have to enter his/her Then the user needs to
username, following the @ symbol and enter his/her password and
email account e.g. [email protected] click on Next.
and click on Next.
The following screen will appear after entering the email address and password. To sign out
from the account, the user must click on the symbol found at the top right hand corner of the
screen.

In order to create an email account, we need an email provider such as Gmail or Yahoo. In this
section, we will use Gmail.
Step 1 : Go to www.google.mu and click on Gmail found at the top right corner of the page.
We need to sign up (not to be confused with Sign in) in order to start creating the account.
On Gmail, click on "CREATE AN ACCOUNT"
59
Step 3 : Enter the information requested by Gmail.
To create a new account, Google needs some information, such as the user's first and last
names. The ‘Choose your username’ is the unique email address, which will be placed before
‘@gmail.com’. For example, type tipiyu1. Then click Next step.
Step 4 : Verification
The user has to Accept Google's privacy and terms first, by clicking on I Agree.
60
Unit 3 I Internet
Clicking Continue to Gmail completes the process of creating an email. An example of the
screen that appears is shown below.
By clicking Go to Gmail, the user will be able to access his/her Gmail account.
61
Activity 7
Note: In order to have a Gmail Account, you must be above 13 years old.
Some other email providers also restrict their services.
However, you may create a Yahoo account.
When you log into your email account, you will be taken to your inbox. This contains messages
you have received.
Click a message in your inbox to open it.

• If the user has clicked on the attachment icon, the following screen will appear:
Spam email is mainly advertising and scam email messages. These messages are moved to the
Spam folder, where they typically sit for 30 days before being deleted. Check the folder occasionally,
as sometimes legitimate mail may also be found in the Spam folder.
After you read an email and reply to it, you may wish to either sort it into a folder or delete it from
your inbox. This will help keep the Inbox organised and tidy.
Email is one of the most popular ways to trick people into giving out personal information. Never
click links unless you trust the sender. It is best to be cautious, as viruses on the sender's computer
can infect emails.

4.1 Word Processing
A word processor is a program which is used to create a document. For example if we want
to write an essay, to write a letter or produce a report, a word processor can be used. A word
processor enables someone to create a document, format the document, edit the document
and save it electronically on a disk unlike the old days where typewriters were used.
Format refers to changing the text appearance. For example, using different font style, font
size, text alignment and so on.
Edit refers to changing the content of the document. For example, changing a word or a
sentence.
There are many word processors such as Microsoft Word, Google Docs, OpenOffice, and
LibreOffice.

MAXIMUM
To find the maximum value from a set of numbers
MINIMUM
To find the minimum value from a set of numbers
COUNT
To find the number of cells that contain data.
Parts of a function
For a function to work correctly, it must be written in a specific way.
A function starts with the “equal to” symbol. This is followed by the function name.
The range of cells on which the calculation will be done is written inside brackets just after the
function name.
For example, if we want to find the total rainfall for the whole year in the spreadsheet above,
we would write the following
=SUM (B2:B13) in cell B15
To calculate the average rainfall, we just need to use change the function, and we will write
=AVERAGE (B2:B13) in cell B16
Now, write the function you will use to find the maximum and minimum rainfall.

PD or Pen Down It makes the Turtle stay on the playground. This is what we have
been doing so far.
PU or Pen Up It makes the Turtle float above the playground. When you give
commands to rotate, the turtle will behave in the same way as
when the PD command is active. However, when you use the
FD or BK commands, the turtle will not draw.
