Making This Project (4th Quarter)

Making This Project
Making this project this time was a little bit easier but our time was very limited. After periodical exams, we always go to the library to buy some time doing this. our schedule was tough so I hope I was writing good in what I am saying and typing. I hope the readers would like it and I wish I could get a good grade.
Installing Operating System (4th Quarter)
Installing Operating System
| www.google.com |
Our last topic was about installing operating system. It was important in case we need to install the latest operating system like the Windows 8.1. It was very useful. Aside from that, our teacher also let us view videos on how to install an operating system made by the our "ates" and "kuyas". Now as our requirement, we are going to install an operating system and we will also make a video out of it. Hope we could be able to do it and get a high grade.

Computer System Unit Components (4th Quarter)
Computer System Unit Components
We were taught about the different parts of computer. Now, I know what the motherboard is, what is its importance and how does it work. We also learned about the power box, RAM, processor, hard disk, DVD drive, SATA cables, fan and the different card that supports the performance of the computer. After our teacher taught us those, we were asked to assemble and disassemble those parts and I think we were the slowest group to finish. But as we play the "Pinoy Henyo"-like game, we were the the fastest to guess. Until then, we were satisfied with our care.

Basic Computer Hardware Troubleshooting
In this lesson, we learned how to fix a computer with basic problems and malfunctions. Unlike the days that we don't know this yet, if there is a small problem, we could fix our own computers without getting to the technician. Thanks to our teacher, we could now manage small problems with our computers with our own way.

Machine Cycle- Networking And Generations Of Computers (4th Quarter)
Machine Cycle- Networking And Generations Of Computers
We learned about machine cycle in this topic. I learned that it is the basic operation performed by the CPU. We also learned about its three steps like fetch, decode and execute. Another, was networking so we learned about different types of network and data transmission. Lastly, we learned about the 5 generations of computers. The computers changed from big to small and we learned the development in technology from time to time.
Binary And Conversion (4th Quarter)
Binary And Conversion
In this topic, we were taught about the computer language, binary. I already knew that it has only two numbers used as a symbol. That's why it was called binary. The most exciting part was the conversion of binary, decimal and hexadecimal. It was fun when we were racing to decode the binary expression. Our teacher also taught us how to decode it much quickly like shortcuts. It was fun how the computers communicate.

Data Representation (4th Quarter)

Data Representation
Another lesson was taught about data representation and the two types of data stored within a computer. We learned about those original and previously stored data or information. Digitizing was another sub-topic that we learned. We also learned about those device driver and plug and play. The common basic technologies for storing binary information and the four most important characteristics of storage devices was also added to my vocabulary that could be useful in times.
Cycle (4th Quarter)

Cycle
This topic was short so my experience would be somehow, short too. We learned about the cycle and other information about input device, central processing unit (CPU), memory (RAM) and output device. And also, other terms such as control unit, arithmetic logic unit (ALU), main memory, secondary memory and I/O devices.
Software (4th Quarter)
| www.google.com |
Software
Like our teacher said, "A software refers to any program that tells the computer system what to do". We also learned about the two types of software. The system software which was already in the computer to manage computer resources and the application software for personal and business tasks. We also learned about the operating system and its different examples. Other things related like compilers and PC platforms were also taught for more usable knowledge.
