Presenter (on screen):
Hello students! Welcome to this ICT learning session on Health, Safety and Ethics. Same as
in your prescribed textbook, your friend Tipiyu is going to accompany us throughout this

Guidelines
Presenter (off screen):
First, let’s take a look at what a computer lab looks like. As you can see the computer
laboratory is different from an ordinary classroom. It is an air-conditioned room in which
there are many computers. You can also see other devices such as scanners, printers and
projectors. The chairs are adjustable so that the users are more comfortable.
The computer lab is a specialist room that contains very expensive equipment and is always
under the supervision of a laboratory auxiliary.
