Procedures

1. Warming up by talking about IT

Computers is the topic this week. And they are a part of IT technology. But what is IT or Information Technology?

Information technology (IT) or information and communication technology (ICT) is the technology required for information processing. In particular the use of electronic computers and computer software to convert, store, protect, process, transmit, and retrieve information from anywhere, anytime.

2. Talking about how to choose a computer

Suppose you and your partner are going to help choose computers for your school. Now talk about how to choose which computer in groups of four.

If you are a student or you are going to be using this computer for such purposes as: research, surfing the web, playing card games, word processing, book keeping, or anything of the like, you may get a processor that is planned for these activities. You do not need anything super fast, but you do not want to get too low end either, otherwise you will be left in the technological dust when the new processors come out and everyone you know upgrades.
