New Grade 7&8 Module

Introduction
Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) is one of the nomenclature in the

implementation of the K to 12 Basic Education Program (BEP) composed of four
components namely: gri!"ishery rts# $ome Economics# %ndustrial rts and
%nformation and &ommunication Technology (%&T)' %n this module# the focus is on an
ICT mini!course ( Computer Hardware Servicing'
)o* that the *or+force is ,ehind in e-uating the num,er of availa,le .o,s# the
/epartment of Education is revitali0ing its resources to prepare the young minds ,y
honing their s+ills as future hard*are service providers' Thus# this module see+s to
provide students *ith the +no*ledge# s+ills and motivation in the field of hard*are
servicing'
%n this course# you *ill ,e introduced to different learning activities preparing you
to ,e s+illful ,efore you ta+e the plunge into the *orld of *or+ as a hard*are service
provider and to feel more confident *hile providing support *here needed' %ndeed# as
learners of hard*are servicing# you are a crucial lin+ in the emergency response
process' %deally# everyone should +no* *hat to do in an emergency situation# ,ut
proper training can help an individual provide ,asic care'
This module is specifically crafted to focus on Process and Delivery enriched
*ith hands! on activities that *ill assess your level in terms of s+ills and +no*ledge'
Learning procedures are divided into different sections such as: What to Know# What
to Process# What to Reflect and Understand and What to Transfer' E1amine and
perform the suggested tas+s to practice developing a sustaina,le program#
prioriti0ing needs and ,uilding vision'
2o# e1plore and e1perience the K to 12 TLE modules and ,e a step closer to
,eing a computer hard*are service provider'

Ph(sical Ha=ards
@ne of the most common physical ha0ards involving computer technicians is
ca,les running across the floor' %f someone trips# falls# and hurts himself ,ecause of a
ca,le you ran across the floor# someone (you# your employer# or your customer) has a
serious legal negligence pro,lem' %f you need to temporarily run a ca,le across the
floor# place a /anger sign similar to those G*et floorG signs used ,y cleaning services'
