The Ins and Outs

Week three has successfully ended and as is the norm in this class information flowed freely. It is so natural that it's barely even noticed how much information is delivered and received. We covered two aspects of the computer this week,  the hardware and the software devices.

As was discussed, hardware devices are all the components of the computer that we can see and touch. They are the physical parts of the computer. On the other hand software devices are those programs that help the hardware devices to complete tasks. Hardware and software must work together in order to have full and successful usage.
Neither hardware or software can be used on its own, they must work together to make the computer a device worth using, and it is definitely worth using.

As a side note, I must draw reference to the method of instruction used, it was awesome... My mind keeps wondering back to my own classroom and I get more excited at the possibilities that are yet to be explored. As an icebreaker we identified using sticky notes the hardware devices on the computers in the classroom and I proudly say that it was so much fun. I felt like such a kid at all the excitement that was happening that day. It just tells me more and more that technology in classes can help students to discover their own surroundings if we only give them the chance!!
