Do Now 2/19

A new class that I would like to add to our school curriculum would be a class that goes in depth into computers, and I would like it to be more of an intermediate class that's not too easy or hard. I would teach about not only processes you can do on the computer, but how the computer works and its internal structure. The class would be provided with high-tech laptops that can do many quick and advanced processes that most can't do. I'd have it set up quite like this class, with the classmates sitting around the center of the room where my laptops and projector would be, with the do now typed up on the projector. The only difference is that we'd be learning a lot harder topics. I would have the students work in both groups and alone, depending on whether or not the topic requires many minds to work together or if the topic is opinionated and needs many points of view. I would have the students produce work usually typed up and emailed to me or have it be shared in a folder on Google Drive. I would have it consist of pictures, graphs, spreadsheets, and basically anything that they want or need to explain their work. I would give them work that would ask maybe about a specific part of the computers internal structure or how to complete a certain process on the computer.
