It also explains simple digital systems and how they operate, including computer components such as hardware and software.
Section Two: Data Collection and Pattern Recognition explores data collection using digital systems and explains the importance of data, as well as how it is sorted and displayed using patterns on a computer.
Section Three: Problem Solving with Algorithms explores how digital systems are programmed with step-by-step instructions to solve problems and perform tasks, such as displaying pictures on a screen.
Section Four: Applications of the Internet explores the safe use of the internet and its functions, with a special focus on cyberbullying.
