Things are progressing nicely in IT Fundamentals. Students did a great job this last week learning about binary code, and being able to read and write using binary code. We finished the week off by making 3D models of dice that represented numbers using binary code. We will be 3d printing off the best designs and sending those home with the students!
This week we will be really learning about the major components of computers, their functions, and how they work together. We will then take what we learned and take apart a computer, identify those components, then will reassemble the machine. This all leads us to our summative assessment, which is to design 3 different computer builds and give a cost analysis of the projects for 3 different scenarios. Students will put their findings into a professional presentation that they will turn in for their unit test grade. I'm very pleased with these classes, and can't wait to see them demonstrate what they have learned!
