Type: Lesson/Unit Plan

Overview:

This lesson combines all three types of binary representation systems (ASCII characters, binary number, and images) to allow for the encoding of more complex types of information in a record. After seeing a series of bits and being asked to decode them, the class is introduced to the idea that understanding binary information requires the understanding of both the system that is being used and the meaning of the information encoded.
