Today we’re going to take our first baby steps from hardware into software! Using that CPU we built last episode we’re going to run some instructions and walk you through how a program operates on the machine level. We'll show you how different programs can be used to perform different tasks, and how software can unlock new capabilities that aren't built into the hardware. This episode, like the last is pretty complicated, but don’t worry - as we move forward into programming the idea of opcodes, addresses, and registers at this machine level will be abstracted away like many of the concepts in this series.

So you may have heard of Moore's Law and while it isn't truly a law it has pretty closely estimated a trend we've seen in the advancement of computing technologies. Moore's Law states that we'll see approximately a 2x increase in transistors in the same space every two years, and while this may not be true for much longer, it has dictated the advancements we've seen since the introduction of transistors in the mid 1950s. So today we're going to talk about those improvements in hardware that made this possible - starting with the third generation of computing and integrated circuits (or ICs) and printed circuit boards (or PCBs). But as these technologies advanced a newer manufacturing process would bring us to the nanoscale manufacturing we have today - photolithography.

Summary: Students will create an interactive portfolio, using Adobe InDesign. Demonstration of Creativity: Photography, by nature, is creative. Throughout this course, students have demonstrated the use of the photographic triangle, used different lenses, critiqued images, explored photojournalism and product photography, manipulated and adjusted photographs, and much more. Although the main focuses of Photography 20 is to acquire knowledge and develop skills in photography, it’s the creativity that can make a photo stand out. This project allows students to showcase their creative talent in a practical and relevant manner.

As a pilot teacher for the new Physical Science 20 course, the challenge in the pilot year is to develop the course content to meet student interests and student needs, while meeting the outcomes indicated by the new curriculum. In an effort to teach outcomes and appropriate indicators, Aaron Biberdorf of Sun West Distance Learning Centre and I developed an action plan to find interactive or virtual labs for each outcome for the three major units of Physical Science 20. This would be most beneficial for the Distance Learning Centre, where students are studying a science course but may not have access to lab materials while working independently. Further, for students who are absent in a regular classroom and miss a lab, the virtual lab(s) could be an alternative assignment.

This week, Stan Muller teaches you how intellectual property law functions internationally. Like, between countries. Well, guess what. There's kind of no such thing as international law. But we can talk about treaties. There are a bevy of international treaties that regulate how countries deal with each others' IP. The upside is that this cooperation tends to foster international trade. The downside is, these treaties tend to stifle creativity by making it harder to shorten copyright terms. You win some, you lose some.

Today, we're going to talk about how the Internet works. Specifically, how that stream of characters you punch into your browser's address bar, like "youtube.com", return this very website. Just to clarify we're talking in a broader sense about that massive network of networks connecting millions of computers together, not just the World Wide Web, which is a portion of the Internet, and our topic for next week. Today, we're going to focus on how data is passed back and forth - how a domain name is registered by the Domain Name System, and of course how the data requested or sent gets to the right person in little packets following standard Internet Protocol, or IP. We'll also discuss two different approaches to transferring this data: Transmission Control Protocol, or TCP, when we need to be certain no information is lost, and User Datagram Protocol, or UDP, for those time sensitive applications - because nobody wants an email with missing text, but they also don't want to get lag-fragged in their favorite first person shooter.

Part 1 – Introducing Google as a Search Engine When looking for a very specific piece of information, it can be helpful to be able to write very specific searches, and Google provides operators to make that possible. Learning Activity 1: Check out the video link to learn more about using Google effectively!
Search tools are not independently intelligent. They cannot understand what you type in, only match it. Sometimes, there are multiple types of meanings that match a query, so a savvy searcher uses special symbols or words, designated by the particular search tool in use at the time. These special symbols are called operators, and Google as a number of them.

Why Screencast? Screencasts provide an opportunity for creators to show, rather than tell, someone else how to do something Implications for the Classroom Screencast content can potentially be more engaging and interactive if used with purpose. Teachers can use screencasts to effectively teach through examples. Students can review steps as needed.
