I always thought I could fix anything, until I tried fixing computers. You need some help from someone that knows, whether it is online help or buying a book or going to school. I found out that most of the problems that your computer will have is in the software. The hardware can give you problems too, but not as often. Removing and replacing a video card or sound card for a better one is simple. My teachers told us to remember, K.I.S.S which stands for Keep It Simple Stupid. You want to turn off and unplug the computer from all power before doing anything inside the computer. I once hit my computer case with a video plug that had power going to it and blew up my computer with lots of smoke and stink. Wear a grounding strap before touching the motherboard or any of the components. A screw holds the video card and/or sound card in place on the tower. Unscrew this and pull the card out. When replacing the card insert it at an angle and make sure it is secure then put the screw back in. Sometimes if your computer is not getting enough air circulating inside the tower to keep the components cool, it will act sluggish and the fan may get noisy. Do not have your computer in an enclosed cabinet, it will get hot and burn out the motherboard. Another culprit to computers is dust. Look at the fan on the back of the tower; is it all dusty? Make sure that the computer is off and unplugged. Get a vacuum and vacuum out any dust bunnies. Do not put a powerful vacuum to the motherboard;
When building a pc, one needs to consider what they are going to use the PC for. For a college student, some uses of a desktop pc could consist of gaming, video editing, and running software. All three of these rely on each part of the computer to perform the task. One component used heavily in all three of the tasks is the CPU (Central Processing Unit). The CPU is a piece of computer hardware that

Every fully functioning computer is made of the same basic components and here I’ll walk through the basic hardware you'll need for your first build. There are several components a computer. However, it’s important to first understand what each component does.
Check your plugs if your computer is not working because you might think it's something serious and go out and buy a whole new computer. when it's probably just your cords not being plugged in. so before you go out and buy a new one check all your cords and make sure that they are pulled in because you would spend more money on buying a new one then checking your cords to make sure they are plugged in all the way and it will save you money.
The thing that I was afraid of the most is a malfunctioning part and it was one of the expensive one. A power supply, RAM, or hard drive are the least expensive parts and a replacement wouldn?t have been as expensive as a motherboard. We had to find a motherboard, so we did some research of the places that would have a compatible motherboard. We found a store in Dhahran and bought the motherboard, one minor problem is that the motherboard cost us 160$ triple its original cost 50$. Due to the shipping costs, PC parts are a lot more expensive in Saudi Arabia. Which in turn made the PC so far cost 800$ which is 280$ more expensive than
Using technology in the classroom is a sensitive issue. It is the teacher?s responsibility to
One of the hardest parts of building a PC is obtaining compatible parts. With an easy misread or forgetting to read about what singular pieces of a computer will go together, you can waste a component. For example, I could buy a motherboard and RAM but the RAM is not compatible with the motherboard. I would be left with a useless part. Parts could also become damaged by the builder while assembling the PC. Water damage, dirty hands, dust, plugging the
Are you tired of paying hundreds or thousands of dollars to a company for a computer that gives a below average experience? Well, why not build your own computer? This might sound like a crazy idea, but once you understand the principles, it's a piece of cake and you will probably end up saving 100 or 200 dollars from buying the same thing from a well-known company. You might be asking yourself, "How on earth am I supposed to build a computer? Where will I obtain the parts?". Well, don't worry, because this guide is everything you need from sourcing the parts to booting up your own functional computer. The basics are always the computer essentials: a motherboard, a CPU, a graphics card [optional], RAM, a hard drive, a power supply and a
I, of course, immediately began building and assembling the computer. I tried to work slow, making sure I was doing everything as carefully as possible. First I began with the motherboard and cpu. I was sure to make sure the prongs lined up perfectly with motherboard. Then the thermal paste and cpu cooler were a
In reviewing research regarding the use of technology in the classroom, there is a wealth of information available that varies from the extent of technology to the type of technology used in the classrooms. In order to identify and narrow the topic, it is important to look at the available research and the areas which need additional studies. The area of interest is specifically the use of technology with English Language Learners (ELL). However, in order to focus the research in that particular area, a broader view is necessary. The purpose of this paper is to review the annotated bibliography created in the previous assignment and discuss specific areas such as theories, relationships and possible gaps or contradictions.
The internet is the easier way for people to communicate with each other. It has made the world smaller by bringing people together everywhere and any time. This invention has important tools for people to contact and it has changed their way of communication in today busy world.

The social networks is created to help connect people with someone who far away or making new friends. Social networking will become the most helpful thing if people know how to use it in the right way.
There is a growing trend in the use of technology in the classroom. As a teacher, I am always looking for ways to use manipulatives in my lessons to increase meaning and authenticity for students. I would love to keep my students engaged, motivated and interactive in the classroom and still be able to get through the content each day. In order to achieve this, I need to have an arsenal of tools to draw from. That is why I agree with (Tataroglu & Erduran, 2010) as stated in the International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education (IEJEE) that “The use of technologies like IWBs in the classroom can provide teachers and students convenience and variety. “
E-Learning is trying to provide a more individualized, self-paced, self-directed learning experience (Clark). A survey by a Sociology Professor at CSU-Northridge showed that students in his virtual class performed 20% better than students in his traditional class (Clark). On the other hand, issues concerned with E-Learning includes the fact that students may not be as motivated since, another survey found out that only 66% of the students involved with E-Learning earned credit with a passing grade for their classes (Washington
There are very many types of information systems. Classification of information systems follows the organizational levels in which they are used or installed for use. For instance, there are management information systems; some of which will be covered in this project report. Management information systems (MIS), helps businesses meet their business objectives. Almost all organizations and businesses today use management information systems; be it large, small, startup or an established multi-national.
