Processor Homework Due 10th Dec

Hi Guys

Homework on the functioning of the processor is as follows:

Create an animated presentation (I would suggest using PowerPoint as it has more flexibility for animation than Google's), that explains how the processor functions to someone who knows nothing about computers!  

Deadline is Monday's lesson 10th Dec!

Please email me your work

Thanks

Tuesday 4th Dec lesson pre-reading

Hi Guys

Below are a couple of links to files I need you to pre-read for Tues lesson.  By doing this it will help your understanding of the processor theory we need to get through on Tues.

The presentation has links to the education part of Intel website.  They are aimed at students younger than you but that's not important - it's still quite good basic grounding.

The Word doc is theory taken from GCSE Computing textbook but I think it's useful to start simple - better to start in the shallow end of the pool, rather than leap into the deep end & discover you haven't mastered how to swim or stay afloat yet!

Hope it all makes sense and isn't too patronising!
