Describe the main components of common digital systems and how they may connect together to form networks to transmit data
What I'm looking for:
I can identify digital systems that I use at home and school and beyond
I can identify internal and external components of digital systems
I can identify the hardware and software components of digital systems
I can define terms used when discussing digital systems
I can explain the different functions of components in a digital system
I can explain how the components of a digital system are connected together
I can explain how the internet works and how my devices connect to the internet
I can explain how data may be transmitted between two digital systems in different ways
I can investigate emerging digital systems (such as using augmented and virtual reality, drones or wearable technology)
What is a Digital System?
Digital systems are the combination of hardware and software components used to transform data into a digital solution. When digital systems are connected, they form a network. Examples of digital systems include personal computers, smart phones and digital toys.
Your Challenge:
You will create a short digital story (1 to 2 minutes) that explains what a digital system is, and how the parts can connect together to transfer data. In your presentation you should demonstrate that you understand some common terms used to describe digital systems.
Your presentation should be suitable for publishing to the web, i.e. it should not contain personal information that could be used to identify you, you should acknowledge the sources of your information, the finished product should be an MP4 file.
You should use some of these terms in your presentation and demonstrate that you understand them by using them in a way that makes sense. You must use your own words in your presentation (not copied from the internet).
