Working With Personal Computers (current 7th grade assignment)




Working With Personal Computers is the new module set that the seventh grade students will be working with. The purpose of these assignments will be to provide a working foundation for how computers run and are operated. Students will also engage in computer-based activities that propose real-world solutions, such as, having to allocate a budget for purchasing a software set for four working types (family, business owner, graphic designer, and college student). The student must find solutions to meet the challenges that they may very well encounter in the years to come!

*UPDATE**(11/11/09)

All seventh grade classes have begun this module. What I would like for you to do is to post a comment about how much money you were able to save per user (for example, I was able to save $91.00 as the Home User, I saved $4.14 as the College Student...)
EVALUATIONS: Friday, November 13th. You will receive two grades: 1.) the information that you saved in your work folders will be evaluated (make sure it is completed) and 2.) your scores will be recorded for the nine question follow-up to the "Selecting Software" activity.

  1. Honestly, I came out in the negative on my first attempt as the Home User. Yikes! Anyways, my remaining balance was $-46.67. Needless to say, I did much better the second time around, as I had $101.13 remaining!

  4. It's interesting to note that, as the day progressed, the savings were higher and higher. Thus far, you all are realizing that in real world situations, you not only have a budget to contend with, but you must also be practical. Don't forget to check your the requirements before you make your application purchases...as you need to spend on only those application programs that you need. Good luck!
