Title: 1.2.2 Computer Components
Course: Technology Applications

Students, have you ever wondered how a computer actually works or looks, inside? Well, just like cars, computers have components, or parts, that are essential to make the whole unit run. To be a good computer user, you need to have a general understanding of computer components.

You are going to watch a video that shows the basic components of a computer. When you are done, you will create a mind map explaining the basic computer components. It's okay to take notes or re-play the video to help you finish your assignment--that's a good learning technique!
