The presentation research information will be co-created with your teacher based on the following criteria that you will be assessed on in a future project:

• I can use correct terminology related to computer hardware specifications, and
• I can communicate the purpose of individual computer components relating to executing program operations.

• Presentations are expected to take approximately 5 - 10 minutes each.
• Each person in the group is expected to speak an equitable amount of time.
• Quality information is more important than a large quantity of information.
• A suggested presentation order is going from 1 -> 9.

• Cite any of your work using IEEE format.
• Cite all images used. You can provide a list of hyperlinks to the images used.
• Keep a copy of your notes, as they might be requested in the future.

Your teacher might complete this in a different manner, please see your teacher for more information.
