[Yr11 Information Technology] outcome 1..meeting special needs...

[Kent Beveridge]

Came across this site and thought some of you might be interested in some of its content. Our first outcome requires converting a written document to an electronic one to meet a specific audience need..
This might give some ideas to those contemplating this one...it did to me!

An interesting and educational programming challenge for your kids would

be to write a program to convert from (K)bits per second to megabytes
per hour. e.g. you're downloading a torrent at 500 Kbps, how much will
be downloaded in an hour?

The algorithm is fun, and the unit conversions are handy to know.

Cheers
Mark
