Q1 Magic Power Cycle: Steps
Steps
Step 1: After playing the introduction video, use a graphic creation application, like Google Drawings (flowchart example template), or Canva to create a graphic organizer and flowchart of the steps you would take to do a regular restart of the device you most often use. An example of a graphic organizer is shown on this page.
On your graphic organizer, make sure to include important steps so that you don’t lose any of your work.
Step 2: Share your troubleshooting graphic organizer with a classmate. Are your steps the same or different, and why?
Step 3: Talk with your classmate to decide how you would explain the following:
- Why is restarting a device considered an effective troubleshooting step?
- The importance of power cycling to someone who doesn’t know about it, in a way that’s easy to understand.
- What is the first step when their computer doesn't turn on?
Note: Your teacher may also choose to have you use Google Docs or Word for your brainstorming.
