Today we will continue our unit on resource management!
- We will review tools you can use to explore your operating system
- We will review some questions and curiousities
- We will discuss dedicated operating systems for a device
- We will discuss hiding complexity
- We will end with a class discussion about limiting resources
A test awaits us next week, Thursday. What is your plan to succeed? This test will have cumulative content from previous tests.
A little less comfortable
Process
You should be revising our content for 20 minutes each day. As you learning about resource management you should be asking yourself how you can apply your understanding (how do I go from theoretical to practical). I would love to hear you ask, "How can we use this information practically?".
Product
As you are learning you should be taking notes, and developing a cookbook or spellbook. Most system administrators have a book of hints and tips they keep with them. You should have a digital text file or written notebook with helpful reminders to understand the deeper parts of your system.
Content
At the end of the day, you should be able to apply your understanding of operating systems to issues to solve problems. You must understand how to view and manage complexity from an operating system.

As you are learning you should be taking notes, and developing a cookbook or spellbook. Most system administrators have a book of hints and tips they keep with them. You should have a digital text file or written notebook with helpful reminders to understand the deeper parts of your system. You should explore different operating systems; looking for tools and similiar views between windows, linux and mac OS.
Content
At the end of the day, you should be able to apply your understanding of operating systems to issues to solve problems. You must understand how to view and manage complexity from an operating system, and you should be able to interface with parts of an operting system through a python program.
Statement of Inquiry
The big idea for today is Resource management.
The essential questions for this topic are:
How does your computer manage competition for limited resources?
It takes time to explore and really understand a big idea. If you want to

We are learning this because as a designers must understand scientific and technical innovation. Designers use systems, models, methods, and processes to solve problems.
