2019 term 2: week 5: Operating Systems

We have been working with PC components, and current/emerging hardware, and are about finished with our summative assessments.  Students designed PC builds for an IT manager for a company, and also a personal build of their choice.  We have seen a wide variety of computer builds that serve many purposes.  Next week, we will start learning about software and operating systems.  We will begin focusing on Windows 10, then will eventually move on to Linux.

2019 term 2: week 4: PC Building

I hope everybody has been having a good week!  I'm glad I got to talk to a lot of you last night at parent-teacher conferences!  Next week students will finish learning about PC components.  We are taking apart computers, identifying the components and explaining their function, then reassembling the machines.  We will then be designing PC builds for a variety of situations.  The PC build design will be our summative assessment.  Students will design a compatible build for a business CEO, then design a personal build of their choice.
