What are we going to learn today?[edit]
Hello Class!
Today is a much shorter class than we normally have. When you walk out of class, you should be able to say:
- I can describe the main functions of an operating system
- I can outline the use of a range of application software
We will review the characteristics of an operating system and we will learn about applications and how to view information about applications.

What is our home learning?[edit]
None today, please relax.

How am I being assessed today?[edit]
I will assess you formatively today, and make a professional judgement to what extent you understand our learning material. I will use observation, your written work, answers to questions, and contribution to class discussions as data to make my decisions. I normally record my observations in a "evidence of learning" spreadsheet, which I will happily share with you privately if you so wish. I usually need a day or two notice.
I will also ask you to complete a self-assessment which I will use to help me guage how well you think you understand our material in class.
