• One byte= One keystroke = 8bits (bits are 0s or 1s)
• One K = 1000 bytes = one page of typed text
• One meg = 1000 K = 1,000,000 bytes = Harry Potter
• One gig = 1000 meg = 1,000,000,000 bytes = small personal library
• One terabyte= 1000 gig = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes = huge library
• Floppy Disk = 1 meg = 1000K = 1,000,000bytes
• Memory Stick = 500 meg
• CD ROM = 650 meg
• DVD = 4-17 gig
• blog= web-log
• RAM= Random Access Memory (the computer’s short-term memory… measured in gigs)

I am looking forward to discovering ways to connect the sometimes boring Algebra 1 curriculum with the exciting Web 2.0 technologies we will be learning.
