GFC Troubleshooting Basics
Skills : ● Explore how computers work through hands-on activities that apply and explore the information processing cycle such as exploring how computers work by taking apart devices (towers, laptops, phones, etc) to examine the internal hardware; participating in a simulation of buying a computer for a purpose (i.e., college, or attending high school), and completing a coding project (through the use of Scratch, code.org, or robots - Spheros, Ozobots, etc.). Scaffolded Learning: ● Create an optimal computer that addresses a key environment, (i.e., what would be critical elements of a computer designed for an educational setting vs. a professional setting such as in a hospital or offce). Describe how these elements would differ based on the setting. Explore how improvements could be made with input or output devices to improve usability in these environments Performance Skills: Students will research, evaluate, and support the selection of purchasing a computing device based on personal interests and needs. ● Students will identify and explain the benefts of the selected peripheral devices, hardware, software, memory, and storage within the computing device.
