2019 term 1: week 3:hardware assessment and Operating Systems

We had a great week in IT Fundamentals.  Students learned about computer components, they took apart, and assembled computers, and learn how everything fits together and works.  Students are now starting their summative assessment.  Students are creating a presentation for 2 computer builds.  They are designing a computer for the IT manager of a company, and a PC build of their personal choice.  Students are making sure all of the components are compatible with each other and will be able to explain why they chose the various components.  Students will also have a cost analysis of their computer builds.  Once we finish our assessments, we will then start learning about operating systems.

2019 Term 1: Week 2: Hardware

IT fundamentals students have learned about careers in computer science and IT.  We then started talking about the history of computers.  Students will be learning about binary code, modern computers, and then PC components.  We are working towards our assessment, which will involve putting together a PC, and designing a variety of PC builds.  This should make for a fun week!
