In an effort to incorporate Blended Learning Strategies into my PAA 6/7 class I investigated multiple interface options including Moodle and Class Notebook. After consulting the Technology Coaches, a decision was made to use OneNote Class Notebook, as the grade 6/7 class had just been introduced to their Sun West email and having one access location was ideal. OneNote is an extension of the Sun West email and thus could be accessed from anywhere. In addition, OneNote Class Notebook allows me to see all student work. Students only have access to their own work and work in the shared workspaces. Google Sketchup was used as the CAD program. This program is available for free download, thus students could have the program at home.

Before keyboards, printers, even monitors there was processing. Processing is the reason computers are computers. Processing is the ability of the computer to take in raw data and basically make sense of it.
In this video we look at: Microprocessor (CPUs), Moore's Law, and Motherboard.

Grades 3-5
"The Day of the Programmer is celebrated on the 256th day of the year. This is because programmers are familiar with bytes and 1 byte = 8 bits, which gives 256 (2 to the power of 8) different combinations of binary digits. In this lesson, students can celebrate programmers by creating art that showcases different programming languages! Students are provided a step-by-step tutorial, code blocks, and instructions to create a Computer Linguist project using Tynker. By the end of this lesson, students will have combined creativity and coding concepts such as simple motion, simple drawing, basic math, and input/output."
You can complete this task by using Tynker block coding - or click in the bottom right corner of the screen to use JavaScript.
This is a great activity to learn about programming languages.

Today we start a three episode arc on the rise of a global telecommunications network that changed the world forever. We’re going to begin with computer networks, and how they grew from small groups of connected computers on LAN networks to eventually larger worldwide networks like the ARPANET and even the Internet we know today. We'll also discuss how many technologies like Ethernet, MAC addresses, IP Addresses, packet switching, network switches, and TCP/IP were implemented to new problems as our computers became ever-increasingly connected. Next week we’ll talk about the Internet, and the week after the World Wide Web!

The computer program's simulation of a Sonoran desert community should ultimately strengthen the student's comprehension of what is required for a natural ecosystem to sustain itself (remain in balance). This computer simulation program has great flexibility. It allows the student to manipulate the population numbers of five Sonoran Desert species. A species natural history attachment provides vital information for the students to familiarize themselves with each species' behaviors, its niche and food resource needs. The program includes two producers, the Saguaro cactus and the Ironwood Tree. It also includes 3 consumers, but their interactions both toward the producers and each other differ. The community's ability to remain in balance and sustain all five species so that none die out rests on the student's assessment skills enabling him to correctly identify these dependencies. The student learns by trial and error as he continues to fine tune the ecosystem that he maintains stewardship of.

This two-semester course provides instruction in the basics of computer construction and repair; emphasizes troubleshooting and diagnosis of hardware and software failures; provides the skills necessary to gain entry-level employment in the field of computer servicing. Students have the opportunity to service and repair a wide range of personal computers while learning theory of operation and gaining programming skills. Students will use a variety of service tools. The operation of each component of a computer is studied and tested while assembling test computers. Designed to provide a solid foundation as a basis for a student's continuing education in the computer sciences.
