Chapter 1: Objectives

Describe personal computer systems.

Identify the names, purposes, and characteristics of:

Cases and power supplies

Internal components

Ports and cables

Input and output devices

Describe situations requiring replacement of computer components.

Select a case and power supply based on customer needs.

Select the PC components based on customer needs.

Describe hardware configurations for task-specific computers.

Evaluate and select hardware for specialized computer systems.




Chapter 1: Overview

Chapter 1 identifies the various hardware components that are required to build adesktop computer and explains the unique purpose of each component, includinghow all components work together as a unit. This chapter also provides studentswith the knowledge needed to select computer components based on hardwarecompatibility requirements and the needs of a customer.

This chapter is important because it provides the foundational information that isrequired to build, upgrade, design and repair personal computers.

Chapter 1 in IT Essentials 5.0 is an integration of concepts featured in Chapter 1and Chapter 11 from version 4.1.




Chapter 1: Activities

What activities are associated with this chapter ?

1.1.1.4 Worksheet – Ohm’s Law

Worksheet is new to the curriculum.

Review the Ohm’s law example provided in page 1.1.1.3 with studentsto check for understanding before assigning Worksheet – Ohm’s Law.

Consider assigning the worksheet as homework.1.2.1.11 Worksheet – Research Computer Components

Conduct Internet research to pre-screen online resources for use incompleting the worksheet and create a list for students.

Prior to completing the assignment, ask students to create a graphicorganizer that helps them recognize what makes components

compatible.1.3.1.6 Worksheet – Build a Specialized Computer System

Worksheet is new to the curriculum.

Conduct Internet research to pre-screen online resources for use incompleting the worksheet and create a list for students.

Ask students to complete the worksheets in groups and present their

findings to class.




Chapter 1: Assessment

Students should complete the Chapter 1 Assessment after they have completedChapter 1.

Worksheets and labs can be used to informally assess student progress.

Skills Based Assessments can be used to assess student skill development at theend of a chapter and/or at the end of the course.

SBA - PC Hardware can not be performed until Chapter 3 has been completed.The skills required to complete SBA – PC Hardware are acquired throughout

Chapters 1 to 3.

NOTE: SBAs provide little to no instruction of how to complete tasks. Students areexpected to be prepared to complete the labs on their own. Students completing theSBA at the end of the chapter may require extra guidance.

Chapter 1: Best Practices

Prior to teaching Chapter 1, the instructor should take the Chapter 1 Assessment.

Ensure that students acquire as many hands-on experiences as possible.

Make different types of computers and computer parts available for students toview during class.

If parts are unavailable, use pictures of components that display different makes

and models. When handling components, set an example for students by modeling best

practices:

Always use an anti-static wrist strap and anti-static mat

Store the components properly

As students learn about each of the computer components, begin assembling a

computer part-by-part in order to demonstrate to students how the components fittogether.

Explain that each of the components have to be compatible with one another.

If possible, demonstrate how components can be incompatible by showingstudents how form factors can prevent some components, such as RAM, fromphysically fitting into others, such as a socket.
