Solving the Computer Lab Mystery

Goal:

Students will understand the essential parts, functions, and basic operations of a computer system
by solving a practical problem related to setting up a computer lab.

Role:

Students will take on the role of junior IT specialists tasked with solving a mystery about why a
new computer lab is not working properly.

Audience:

The primary audience will be the students' classmates and teacher. The secondary audience
includes the school's administration and other classes that will use the computer lab.

Situation:

The school’s new computer lab is not functioning correctly, and the students need to identify the
issues with the computer systems, fix them, and ensure everything is running smoothly. They
will investigate each component of the computer system to find and solve the problems.

Product

- A diagnostic report identifying the problems with the computer systems and their solutions.
- A user manual detailing the parts of the computer, their functions, and how to troubleshoot
common issues.

Standards

Criteria for Success:

- Accuracy: The diagnostic report should correctly identify and address all issues.
- Clarity: The user manual should be clear and easy to understand for all users.
- Problem-Solving: Demonstrate effective problem-solving skills in identifying and fixing the
issues.
- Engagement: Presentations and demonstrations should be engaging and informative.

Learning Activities:

1. Introduction to the Problem:


- Present the scenario where the new computer lab is not working properly.
- Discuss the importance of each computer component and its role in the system.

2. Research and Investigation:


- Students will research common issues that can occur with computer systems.
- They will explore the parts of a computer and how each part should function.

3. Group Work:
- Divide students into small groups, each responsible for investigating specific components of
the computer system (e.g., CPU, monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer).
- Groups will use checklists and tools to diagnose the problems in their assigned component.

4. Creating the Diagnostic Report:


- Each group will compile their findings into a diagnostic report.
- The report should include identified problems, solutions, and any steps taken to fix the issues.

5. Developing the User Manual:


- Groups will create a user manual that includes detailed information on the parts of a
computer, their functions, and troubleshooting tips.
- Ensure the manual is user-friendly with illustrations and simple language.

6. Presentation and Demonstration:


- Groups will present their diagnostic reports and user manuals to the class.
- Conduct a demonstration in the computer lab showing how the issues were resolved and how
to use the computer systems properly.

7. Reflection and Feedback:


- Reflect on the problem-solving process and the importance of understanding computer
systems.
- Receive feedback from peers and the teacher to improve their reports and manuals.

By following this GRASPS-based PBL plan, students will engage in a practical, hands-on project
that enhances their understanding of computer systems. This approach promotes critical thinking,
collaboration, and effective problem-solving skills while making the learning process engaging
and relevant.
