Chapter 3 Missing Downs

Thanks to Kristen - (EN), I've been told that the Chapter 3 Puzzler is missing a few downs (and no I don't mean football here), I've posted the downs in Blackboard in under Week 2's assignments and will post them here - in addition to sending out a class-wide email.  I'm sorry about that - somethings in curriculum just are not edited well enough.  I've gone back and re-examined the teacher's text and the originals I have are also missing the clues.  So here they are:




Down (for Chapter 3 Only):


 


21. A program that tells the computer how to function and
how to manage it’s own operation.


 


22. The “brain” of a computer, incorporated into a single
microprocessor chip.  Within it,
calculations are performed; the flow of information between input, output, and
memory is coordinated; and program instructions are transmitted.


 


24. A set of instructions that tell a computer how to
complete a unique task such as word processing, database management, or
drawing.


 


25. A measure of resolution in printers and some other
output devices.


 


27. Multiple types of media that are combined into an
integrated whole that presents instructional content.  Although not only digital media my be included, the term is
often used to refer to a computer-based format that combines, text, graphics,
audio, and even video into a single, coherent, digital presentation.


 


31. The series of chips that make up a computer system’s
temporary memory  area.  This area empties when the application
is closed and fills up again when the user opens a new application.
