For this project you will work with a partner to choose two computer hardware components and explain what they are, how they work, the history of their development and common problems and solutions.

The product you will create will be informative material that helps you, your classmates and members of the school community understand the workings of the computer.

The information resources you will use for this project will be information that you currently know, books on the topic, internet sites, and people around you.

Products:
Web based:  A series of web pages that concisely explain the answers below.  One of the pages will be a links page that includes all of the web pages that contain information that you use to do this project.   These pages should all be in a directory called "YourNamesProjectName"  An index.htm page should link all of the web pages together.  Web pages are saved in the HTML directory, pictures are saved in the GRAPHICS directory.  Each page should have a heading and title that indicates the people doing the project and the name of the project.  All web content for this project will be uploaded to your student work directory on the Teched server.

Print Based:  Prints of your web content should be compiled and placed in a ring binder for future reference.

Display:  Using the information that you have gathered, combine pictures, text and physical objects to make a display for viewing in the school community.  This display will be designed so that the rest of the school can better understand how their computer works.  There are cardboard display tri folds that you can use to give the display some form.
