Study Notes

Storage

  • Information is best stored digitally because it allows for large amounts of data to be stored.
  • 3TB is equal to 3072 GB.

Computers

  • Computers process instructions and operate continuously.
  • Non-smart devices are not self-operating or able to learn and adapt. An example is a robotic vacuum cleaner.

Information

  • Data is information. An example could be data collected from a population count.
  • Information is entered into the computer as input information.
  • Computers do not have original thinking, instead they are programmed and trained to complete specific tasks.

Evaluating Student Performance

  • Evaluating student performance should be based on:
    • Absences
    • Number of correct answers
    • Uniform compliance.
  • Information can transform into other forms of information. For example, weather forecasts are data and the student's conclusion based on that information is also information.
