Raspberry Pi - A new Era of computer Programming for School Kids

What is Raspberry Pi ??
The Raspberry Pi is a small computer about the size of a credit card. The initial version is only available as a bare motherboard, but future versions will be available with a case. The Raspberry Pi is similar in processor and memory to some smartphones and includes a HDMI (and analogue) TV output as well as USB connectors and on one version a Ethernet network connection. It is powered using a mobile phone charger plug. An important aspect of the device is that it is inexpensive. Starting at just $25 for the basic model making this affordable for schools and pupils alike.


The aim behind the Raspberry Pi is to get school children excited about computers and to help create computer programmers for the future.This is similar to what the BBC Micro and similar home computers did back in the 1980s. Back then computers were simpler and made it easy to tinker and learn how to program. There was no risk of breaking anything as if anything went wrong you just powered it off and started again.These days computers are complex and expensive. Many computers also restrict what you can and can't do with them through closed source software and other technical restrictions (eg. games machines). Even if you could tinker with them then many parents would not like to risk their children damaging the home computer that the family has become so reliant.By making the device so cheaply it means that pupils can have their own computer that they can tinker with and the worst that could happen is that they need to re flash the SD card back to it's original settings. As it can plug into a standard TV (in many children's bedrooms) there is no need to take turns in using the computer monitor or main computer.

Early computer



Semiconductors and microprocessors

Computers using vacuum tubes as their electronic elements were in use throughout the 1950s, but by the 1960s had been largely replaced by semiconductor transistor-based machines, which were smaller, faster, cheaper to produce, required less power, and were more reliable. The first transistorised computer was demonstrated at the University of Manchester in 1953.In the 1970s, integrated circuit technology and the subsequent creation of microprocessors, such as the Intel 4004, further decreased size and cost and further increased speed and reliability of computers. By the late 1970s, many products such as video recorders contained dedicated computers called microcontrollers, and they started to appear as a replacement to mechanical controls in domestic appliances such as washing machines. The 1980s witnessed home computers and the now ubiquitous personal computer. With the evolution of the Internet, personal computers are becoming as common as the television and the telephone in the household[citation needed].
Modern smartphones are fully programmable computers in their own right, and as of 2009 may well be the most common form of such computers in existence[citation needed]. as their electronic elements were in use throughout the 1950s, but by the 1960s had been largely replaced by semiconductor transistor-based machines, which were smaller, faster, cheaper to produce, required less power, and were more reliable.

Festival Sanjungan Satria



Nantikan Fessat XI Kolej Tun Hussein Onn bermula pada 7 Mac 2012 hingga 11 Mac 2012 bertempat di Dataran Panggung Seni, UKM.Datanglah beramai-ramai.Banyak aktiviti menarik menanti anda!!!

Minggu ke-2 kelas Aplikasi Komputer

Minggu kedua kelas Aplikasi Komputer kami didedahkan dengan penggunaan microsoft words.Rupanya banyak benda yang masih kami tidak tahu.Dalam masa sehari kami telah diajar cara pelbagai fungsi yang terdapat dalam microsoft words 2007.Terdapat banyak perbezaan di antara microsoft words 2003 dan 2007.Microsoft words 2007 lebih mudah digunakan kerana mempunyai pelbagai fungsi berbanding microsoft words 2003 yang saya gunakan.ok.setakat ini sahaja.Terima kasih kerana sudi membaca. ^-^
