Bellringer:
On page 59, type lines 1, 2, and 3
1st and 7th Periods go to the exit activity and play until you win a million dollars.
  
What are we learning?
We are creating a VOKI to review IPOS- Input, Processing, Output, and Storage
Objectives: 1.5 Digital Lifestyles and 1.1 Introduction of Computers

What is the Cloud? http://www.gcflearnfree.org/computerbasics
"Cloud computing is the practice of using a network of remote servers
hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than
a local server."

IPOS project
We are going to create an invention choosing an input, processing, storage, and output device and then once you have your rough draft you will create a voki to advertise your invention. Watch samples:

Guided Lesson: How to think of an invention?

Step by Step

Think of an output you want- locker door opens without you twisting lock
What input do you need to make it happen- an eye scan or a face scan or a fingerprint scan
The processor is a cpu if the item is large or a microchip if the item is small
Storage- you might want a place to store your biometrics and your friends so they can open the locker so you could have a hard drive or save to a cloud.

1.     My Name and Period

2.     My invention is a locker that will open for me without using my hands

3.      My input is an eye scan of my retina

4.      My output is the door opening

5.      My processor is a microchip

6.      My storage is on a cloud

7. My invention is a no hands needed locker. My input will be a retina eye scan to verify my identity. My output is when the eye scan is verified the computer will activate the device that will open the door. A fast microchip will be my processor to authenticate or verify it is my eye. I will store my eye information in a cloud for future use. Students should buy this invention because you never have to worry about forgetting your locker combination. (Your paragraph is what you will type into your voki on today or Thursday)
  Rubric/Grading
15 Prework completed
15 Voki is creative
10 Voki makes sense (you didn’t spell words wrong)
15 Input is correct
15 Output is correct
15 Processing is correct
15 Storage is correct

Independent Lesson: Create IPOS Voki

You MUST type or write on a piece of paper the following information BEFORE you will be allowed to create a voki. If you type you need to save to your lunch room number.

1. Your Name and Period
2. You invention
(3 to 6 may be in any order)
3. What the input is for your invention?

4. What the processing is for your invention? (hint, cpu, microchip, OS X- for apple, etc)
5. What the storage is for your invention?
6. What the output is for your invention?
7. Why should someone buy your invention?  

If there is time there will be a Voki tutorial.

Voki note:
While they recommend having an email you can click no thanks and it will give you a link for your voki. Of course if you don't have an email once you get the link you will not be able to edit your voki.
