Class plan.png What are we going to learn today?[edit]

Hello Class!

Today in class we will focus on:

  • I can outline the architecture of the central processing unit (CPU) and the functions of the arithmetic logic unit (ALU) and the control unit (CU) and the registers within the CPU
  • I can describe primary memory
  • I can explain the use of cache memory
  • I can explain the machine instruction cycle
  • I can identify the need for persistent storage

If we have time (which we will), I will also talk to you about operating systems and you will learn some cool tools on your computers.

We will take notes with this well organized template: Click here for file

Homework.png What is our home learning?[edit]

You should review the material we reviewed today

Please review these pages on our wiki, again

Target.png 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.

  • Persistence in working with difficult problems
  • Tolerance for ambiguity
  • The ability to deal with open-ended problems
  • The ability to communicate and work with others to achieve a common goal or solution
