Tuesday March 27 – Getting charged up

I am going to get you started on some research for the digital photography module. Go to the page on Power Supplies from the online module, and find the needed information to complete the chart.
PLEASE NOTE: When completing the chart, use prices that you would have access to, in $CDN (Canadian dollars). That means sold [...]

Today, please continue with the Internal Components assignment that was previously assigned.  If you are done, I would like you to print it out, and then please look it over again and write on the paper to indicate parts that make complete sense to you (underline or checkmark) , and parts that do not [...]

IP30 – March 22 (pm): Advice for the Last Term (summary: Work Habits Count)

Here is some (brief) advice to mark the start of the last term:
1. If you are happy with the mark you have earned for the course so far, keep up the good work. To maintain this level though, please remember that work habits count (being on time, being on task, coming in outside of class hours [...]

IP30 – March 22: Looking good…

Hmm. It’s looking like most (if not all) of you are going to pass this first term. You will find out next week.
I have appreciated the effort to try things that are maybe a bit different, like using a blog and a wiki, interviewing people and attending community meetings and cleaning inside computers. Don’t tell [...]

IP30 – March 19: I will be submitting as many pages as possible at 1:45 today.

Good morning.
Don’t forget to bring recipes for the school cookbook project. I have written up two so far, and plan on submitting a couple more by tomorrow.
I tried to make up something different to add to the cookbook, like a recipe but not a real recipe. Anyway, I’ve chickened out, but since I’ve already made [...]

IP30 – March 16: I was tricked into thinking spring was here! (now on with the show)

Good morning!
Today is the last period to finish up term 3 projects for the Term 3 report card. If you are done all of your projects, please help with proofreading the first 32 pages of the yearbook, which I will submit to Friesens as soon as possible.  There are some essential photos missing (such as an src [...]

IP30- March 15 (double class): Interested in building your own computer?

By the end of today, let us have:

Pages 1-32 of the yearbook layouts completed (check public drive to see previews; let me know of any errors!)
Interviews done and results posted to the wiki
Meetings attended and the resulting minutes photocopied for each member of the group

 If you cannot finish these in class today, tell Mr. Stinson [...]

IP30 – March 14: Wrap up those Term 3 assignments, folks! (am and pm): updated

Good to see you all again. This is for the morning AND afternoon periods today.
The goals for today are to continue the assignment from last day on labelling and describing various ports, cables and cards, and to make sure all previous assignments are completed and accounted for before the weekend.
If these items are completed today, [...]

IP30 – March 9: Ports and cables and cards, oh my!

At this point, all of you have cracked open a tower and had a peek (easier to see without all the dust), but ‘what is all that stuff?’, some have already been asking.
Let’s begin with the cables that everyone managed to reconnect so far (except for one case where it was found that the mouse [...]
