Grade 10, Pre-IB Computer Science

#COMPUTER SCIENCE Week 3

WELCOME!

The third week of Computer Science
It is the third week of the school. It is also the third week that we have taken Computer Science Class. Computer Science is becoming more interesting. We are not only study computer skills, but also study knowledge of computer.

Presentation

Each group had made a presentation of “I think computer is…” on Zoho, last weekend. During the first class, we learned how to publish a presentation on the website. The process is amazing. Before that class, I thought presentation could only be seen by people who made it or shared with people you know. And I never knew that presentation could also publish on the website. People around world who knew the URL can see the presentation.

Computing System
We also learned something about computing system, hardware and software. There are six layers of computing system which involves information, hardware, programming, operating systems, application, commuting systems. We know that a computer receives an input, processes the information, then performs an output. For example, the way people get energy: input – food that people eat, process – people digest food in their bodies, output – people get energy that they need. Hardware is the physical elements of a computing system. Software is the programs that provide instructions for a computer to execute. I also make a presentation of commutation system this weekend with my group mate, Matthew.

Computer History
We learned the history of computer last week by watching few videos. Computer are invented by many people. There was no a certain person who invented the computer. They influenced each other and inspired each other. Computers are improved as time goes. Nowadays, computers are much better than what it were in the ’70s. Computers are more convenient these days.

This weekend, I also learned how to type on typing.com. I eventually finished lessons for beginners. We are going to have a typing test next week. I hope I can pass the test and I could have a satisfied grade. I believe the lessons I took will help a lot in next week typing test.
