- The unit is made up of six modules and three assessments.
- Students are expected to attend all lectures, attend all workshops, complete all workshop tasks, avoid plagiarism and check their ECU email on regular basis and log on to blackboard regularly.
- PC's are important tools for business, leisure, personal productivity in today's society. ECU students must have access to a PC to complete research, word processing, presentations and communicating.
- With learning new skills you will find that they may take more time, be difficult at first and a little complicated.
- To be successful in this unit you will need a thumb drive, My ECU profile and an ECU email account.

Workshop Write-up:
In this weeks workshop I was to create a blog and a photobucket account. By using the resources provided on blackboard I was able to do this successfully. To create my blogger account I went to www.blogspot.com and proceeded with the instructions given on blackboard and the prompts provided on the website itself.
Instead of using imageshack I chose to use photobucket. Creating this account was much like the Creation of the blogger account but because I chose to use photobucket I did not have the convenience of the step by step instructions but the prompts were helpful to successfully creating the account.
I also had to create screen captures for this weeks workshop. I found this task easy as I have done it before but the instructions provided on blackboard were very helpful. An example of my creation of the photobucket and blogger accounts are shown below as screen captures which also shows an example of that exercise.

How Stuff Works:
- A computer is essentially made up of a number of components which are built around a microprocessor.
- The main components of a computer are a central processing uni (CPU), memory which comes in the form of Random - Access (RAM), Read - Only (ROM), Basic input/output system (BIOS), caching and virtual memory, a mother board, power supply, hard disk, operating system, graphics card, sound card, accelerated graphics port (AGP), small computer system interface (SCSI), integrated drive electronics (IDE) controller and a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus.
