6. Procedures/Methods-
|
A. Introduction-
1.Will identify and review hardware on a basic PC system which will
be used in most work environments
2.Identify and examine the different types of printers which are used
in the work environment and how to set them up.
3.Learn the steps of troubleshooting and figuring out how to identify
and fix the issues on a basic PC. |
|
|
B. Development-
1.The basic PC hardware will be identified by showing the student
the internals of a PC tower. With the written material which they
can follow, the student will be able to have hands on knowledge of
the main hardware components of the PC system. This will give the
student the ability to identify and understand what each main part
does in the PC. By doing this, they will actually know what the real
hardware looks like first hand.
2.With the different types of the printers that are being shown, the
student will be able to identify and understand the difference between
the 3 major types of printers that are used in today's work environment.
Also the student will learn how to setup a basic printer on a network
system by actually doing it first hand. This will allow the student
to understand the uses of each different type of printer and how to
set it up on as a network printer.
3.The student will identify certain basic issues which computer systems
will have on a daily basis and will be able to fix these issues. The
student will learn the basic steps in troubleshooting and will be
able to put those steps into real time action by working on their
own laptops to try to fix simple issues. |

C. Practice-
1.The students will be shown the internals of a PC. I will be Opening
the PC tower and identifying the main parts of a computer system.
Also learning the correct techniques on how to work on a PC system
or tower. I will go through the system and identify the main parts
that the student will need to know and will teach them how to remove
and replace that existing component.
2.Will show them a video on the many different types of printers and
the uses of them. Also will give them Hands on activity with the printers
to identify the differences of each type. Also will show them and
teach them how to create a network printer on their individual laptops
3.Will show a video on the many different types of issues on computer
systems. Will teach them the basic troubleshooting steps by showing
them basic things to look at first and how to implement these steps
when actually working on a computer. |
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
1.Test the student on basic hardware components and the uses of
them in a PC system
2.Test the student on the different types of printers and how to create
and install them on a network
3.Test them on basic troubleshooting methods by having them identify
the basic issue and how they would fix that problem. |
|
|
E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
Each student will work in teams to identify the components of the
PC, the different types of printers and the uses for them, and will
learn the steps in troubleshooting as a team. This will help individuals
understand and learn at their own pace. |
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
Final paper to have them write down what they learned about PC components,
printers, and troubleshooting.
|
|
|
G. Closure-
Answer any questions about the topics that was discussed and help
answer any work experience questions. |
|
|
7. Evaluation-
|
1.Have the student identify the certain parts on the PC
2.Have the student help fix and troubleshoot a pretend help desk call
using the basic steps of troubleshooting |
