A practical - looking under the bonnet to ascertain if all is in working condition and the second - using a preformatted checklist auditing all the computer rooms to identify the working condition and software on every machine. There is a downloadable Word document for this task, as well as the checklist maintenance schedule.

Both tasks upon completion is to be emailed back to the the teacher or handed in in class on the teacher's USB, in the year folder, within the required assessment task 'due by date', to avoid loss of marks at 10% a day and a resubmit, with a covering essay about managing your own work and learning).
