May 12th 2016 Lesson Notes

What are we going to learn today? You are going to understand the advantages and disadvantages of networks click here You are going to learn about types of networks You are going to learn about topologies click here You are going to understand the difference bwteen wired and wireless networks you will describe the advantages and disadvantages of wireless and wired networking click here What is your homework and when is it due ? No homework today	What is the actual plan? We will have a presentation about networks I will describe how your projects should be structured
Is this graded? your work will count towards a formative grade in some AtL's.
Standards we are covering today Click here for all our standards Identify the procedure appropriate to solving a problem. Level: 2 Evaluate whether the order in which activities are undertaken will result in the required outcome. Level: 3 Explain the role of sub-procedures in solving a problem. Level: 3 Identify when decision-making is required in a specified situation. Level: 2 Identify the decisions required for the solution to a specified problem. Level: 2 Identify the condition associated with a given decision in a specified problem. Level: 2 Explain the relationship between the decisions and conditions of a system. Level: 3 Deduce logical rules for real-world situations. Level: 3 Identify the inputs and outputs required in a solution. Level: 2 Identify pre-planning in a suggested problem and solution. Level: 2 Explain the need for pre-conditions when executing an algorithm. Level: 3 Outline the pre- and post-conditions to a specified problem. Level: 2 Identify exceptions that need to be considered in a specified problem solution. Level: 2 Identify the parts of a solution that could be implemented concurrently. Level: 2 Describe how concurrent processing can be used to solve a problem. Level: 2 Evaluate the decision to use concurrent processing in solving a problem. Level: 3 Identify examples of abstraction. Level: 2 Explain why abstraction is required in the derivation of computational solutions for a specified situation. Level: 3 Construct an abstraction from a specified situation. Level: 3 Distinguish between a real-world entity and its abstraction.
