Presentation: In class Presentation (Week 7 - Day of your class)
Presentation Duration: 3 minutes
Weight: 20%
Instructions:
Assume you are presenting using a PowerPoint Presentation to a virtual audience.
For assessment #2, you are required to use PowerPoint to inform your grandparents
(65 years) of the computer components.
Yesterday your grandparents brought in various computer components and asked for
help assembling them into a final computer. Your grandparents informed you that a
friend helped purchase all the components, and all components should work together.
It’s just that your grandparents are not well versed in actually assembling all those
components, although your grandparents were technicians 40 years ago. You spent
some time yesterday assembling all the major components of the PC, including
placing the power supply unit (PSU), hard drives and the motherboard in the case.
Today, your grandparents returned to your home, and in an effort to help inform
them, you pointed out all the major connections and components of the motherboard.
Use the diagram below to do your Presentation, and you are required to describe the
labels numbered from 1 to 8.
