You will create a poster using Glogster to tie together the different ideas and themes we have covered so far. My example should give you some ideas, though it represents a bare minimum.
Your options:
- Binary data representation — do this if you need review on data representation
- What is binary?
- Why do computers use binary?
- How are text/images/sound represented using binary?
- How is binary represented in different hardware components?
- Advertisement for a particular computer (Eee PC, Dell tough tablet, iMac, Mac mini, Alienware M17x or one of your choice) — do this one to review hardware and learn about specialized components (graphics card, etc)
- Hardware specs and advantages
- Operating system type and advantages
- Form factor and advantages
- Price
- Famous computing technologist — do this one if you’re feeling really good about the material and want to learn a little more about those who make computers happen (Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, Adele Goldberg, Bill Gates, Paul Allen, Marissa Mayer, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Charles Babbage, Alan Turing…)
- When did they start in computing?
- What kind of education do they have?
- What are their major inventions?

| Technical information | Covers some technical material but large gaps exist | Explains most relevant technical concepts | Covers and explains all relevant technical concepts |
| Aesthetics (looks) | Some information is easy to read | Most information is organized and legible | All information is organized and legible |
