For the web lesson assignment, you will construct a series of web pages that provide instruction and practice on a short topic. The topic should cover one objective from your content area or grade level. It should be identified by the state or national objective from which it is derived. You will create at least two exercises that can be used to assess your students understanding of the material you presented
Students will learn first about the Universal System Model and then about the four basic components of the computer system.
Aim
How do we use the Universal System model to understand how things work?
How does a computer process information?
Objectives
Students will be able to apply the Universal System Model to various systems.
Students will be able to describe the computing system and identify the four primary steps (Input, Storage, Process, Output)
Students will be able to identify computer input and output devices.

MST 5: Technology Education
Students will apply technological knowledge and skills to design, construct, use, and evaluate products and systems to satisfy human and environmental needs
Technology Systems
Key Idea: Technological systems are designed to achieve specific results and produce outputs, such as products, structures, services, energy or other systems.
Students will:
• describe how subsystems and system elements (inputs, processes, outputs) interact within systems
Computer Technology
Students will:
• identify and describe the function of the major components of a computer system
