Q1 Magic Power Cycle: Restarting Your device
Restarting your Device
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 the right side.
Include important steps on your graphic organizer to ensure 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.
