IT Fundamentals: term 3: week 3: computer build assessment

IT fundamentals has been working hard about learning computer components and discussing emerging trends in hardware.  This week we learned about the rise and fall of Compaq computers, and are about ready to move to our assessment over standard CIS.HS.7.4: Describe current and emerging hardware.  Students will be using the website pcpartpicker.com to design computers for different users based on need and price.  Students will put their findings together in a presentation and will then turn it in for a grade.  The class really enjoyed having the opportunity to disassemble and reassemble HP desktops for a great hands-on learning experience.  Every single group did a great job of identifying the components with their functions.  Below is a picture from our PC build day.

There are a lot of eager learners in this class, and it has been a lot of fun getting to know them and learning about technology with them!
