Theory

• What do we need to think about?

• What questions should we ask?

Remember:

• Make sure you understand the situation

• Think of all parts of the situation

• Answer all parts of the question

Step-by-Step

• Don’t try to think of everything at once.– This will only make your organization

confused.

• Take it one part at a time.

Instructions

• Read the situation described carefully. What type of computer, input devices, output devices, and software will be most useful in this situation? Remember to use specific names of devices, the types of software used (not the brand names). Also remember to EXPLAIN all ideas – why have you chosen all of these things?

Question (Class 2)

• Situation: An advertising company of 20 employees wants to buy a new computer system. The company creates its own artwork and text, and makes advertisements for magazines.

First: Size and Speed

• How many people will be using the system?

• How fast does it need to work?

• Where is it?

Question (Class 2)

• Situation: An advertising company of 20 employees wants to buy a new computer system. The company creates its own artwork and text, and makes advertisements for magazines.

Size and Speed

• 20 people

• Graphics work sometimes requires more computing power

• At an office – size is not an issue

• What kind of computer system is good for this?

Second: reading the situation

• “The company creates its own artwork and text…”

• What is needed for this?

Third: reading the situation

• “…and makes advertisements for magazines.”

• So, what is needed for this?

Fourth: using your brain!

• We’ve answered everything directly asked in the situation

• We are NOT done. What else is useful? What else can we talk about?

Check the instructions
