This chapter is called Computers in the Classroom. I learned about how computers work and the specific parts involved within a computer. I never knew what a CPU was before reading the chapter. I learned that higher the speed the faster the CPU. I also learned that the greater the amount of RAM, the faster the computer can store and retrieve data. In this chapter I also learned many type of backups to use to retrieve information if lost or the computer crashes.
This chapter was mainly a review for me. I am pretty comfortable with computers but there are definitely times where I get frustrated and upset and my computer. I did think this chapter was interesting and important because you definitely need to know the basics of computers. Depending on the grade you teach you might be showing students their first computer and you want to know what you are talking about to help them better understand information.
I will use computers in my class as much as possible! I can only hope that school system I work in can provide classrooms with computers or have a nice computer lab to use.
