Description of the educational product
The product is aimed to students of latter courses of Secondary School with ICT in their courses and Vocational training students
The educational product is one of a series of models that try to depict the function of the Computer, making an analogy to a Restaurant
The idea of the model is to show that the way the cpu treats input data to produce output data is similar the way that a cooker treats raw aliments to produce finished mealse
This model focuses on the arithmetic logic unit of the cpu where the data processing

It's really great to explain the students the ALU and UC using meals to represent the functionality of this computer parts.
This model can help the students to understand the new concepts and it can help them to remember the concepts in a funny way.

This a very interesting and atractive model for students in first and second class in secondary schools how to work computer to show on aritmetic and logic unit works using meals in a restaurant. It is very good example for students who learn how programs works step by step to get results. I will use this model in my classes to show students how computers' CPU works using idea of the cooker in restaurant. I think they will understant in a different way how data are processed by the CPU.

It's a good idea to explain how the aritmetic and logic unit works using meals in a restaurant, the students will remember it better. I will use it to show them how computers' CPU works using idea of the cooker in arestaurant. I think they will understant in a different way how data are processed by the CPU.

This model is correct and helps with studying PC. Very good example for new school students who learn how programs works step by step to get results. For example you reach for any code you got, but you need "recipes" to put code currently and PC do it. Definitely good model.

In order to use the processing of meals representing the functionality of CPU is a great idea to keep it in mind in our students.
This model can be improved every time we need to increase or detailing the operation of CPU.

Dissemination Seminar in Florence

31 October 2015 The seminar has been held in ITIS “A. Meucci” one of the schools involved within Goerudio project activities. Its main aim was to promote the results of the project toward a broad sample of stakeholders even overcrossing the number of people directly involved in the production of project outcomes. This purpose has been totally achieved especially thanks to the participation of students and teachers coming from different schools or from other classes instead of those ones directly involved within the project activities.
