  1. Describe the benefits of using each communication application to improve business and personal communication? Compare the use of ICT applications with conventional methods. Describe the potential drawbacks in using each communication application.
  2. With the rise of the Internet, and especially with the recent 'Web 2.0' websites, such as wikis, blogs and social networking sites, communication has now become very interactive. By 'interactive' we mean that people can respond to the information that they are given, add comments, alter / improve it, rate it, etc. Many websites on the Web today allow users to: Share information (e.g. notes and photos on Facebook) Interact (add comments, chat, etc.) Collaborate on content (e.g. creating pages on Wikipedia) Create their own content (e.g. videos on YouTube) Web 2.0 is often called the 'Social Web' because of the way that users can interact and share. It's also been called the 'Read-Write Web' because much of the content is now written by users (they're not just reading)
  3. Identify examples of interactive communication application? Create a table identifying how users can interact with each communication application.
  4. Why Use Computers to Keep Records? Even if you don't work for a huge business, It can be useful to use computers to keep track of data.Data that is stored on a computer (as opposed to data written on paper) can be easily: Organised / sorted in different ways Displayed / printed in a variety of styles and layouts Searched for specific things Updated - adding / changing / deleting items Backed-up - a copy can be made with just a few clicks Stored / moved - a memory stick is much smaller than a cupboard full of paper!
  5. What are the advantages for using data handling applications? How could data handling applications be used at Newton? How would they improve the efficiency of the school? Can you think of any other examples of how data handling applications could be used?
  6. How Can Computers Measure Things? A sensor, such as a temperature sensor, can be connected to a computer. The computer can then monitor the signal from the sensor, reacting to changes, or it can record the data from the sensor at predefined time intervals.
  7. Why are measurement applications used? What is the role of a sensor? How are sensors used during a operation in a hospital? How can sensors save lives? Name sensors you may use in your every day life. Highlight the benefits.
  8. An actuator is a device, controlled by a computer, that can affect the real-world. How Can Computers Control Things? A computer control system, like any system, is made up of three parts... 1- Input devices called sensors feed data into the computer 2- The computer then processes the input data (by following a set of instructions) 3- As a result of the processing, the computer can turn on or off output devices called actuators.
  9. Making Decisions (The Process) The steps followed by the computer in a control system are just about the same for all systems... 1. Checkthe data from the sensors 2. If necessary, turn on/off one or more of the actuators 3. Go back to step 1
  10. An Example Control System - An Automated Greenhouse Sensors cannot control anything - all they can do is pass data to the computer. The computer takes the actions and turns on/off the actuators
  11. Turtle Graphics A ‘turtle’ is an on-screen object that follows command given to it by the user. As the turtle moves around the screen it drags a ‘pen’ that leaves a trail behind it.The command language is called ‘LOGO’. LOGO has many commands, but the ones most commonly used are: FORWARD 20 RIGHT 90 FORWARD 10 RIGHT 90 FORWARD 10 LEFT 90 FORWARD 10 RIGHT 90 FORWARD 10 RIGHT 90 FORWARD 20 FORWARD 20RIGHT 90FORWARD 10RIGHT 90FORWARD 5PENUPFORWARD 10PENDOWNFORWARD 5RIGHT 90FORWARD 10
  12. What is a Computer Model? A computer model is a computer program that attempts to simulate a real-life system. In other words, it is a ‘virtual’ version of something in the real-world. The computer model is designed to behave just like the real-life system. The more accurate the model, the closer it matches real-life.
