1. Learning Intention
I will learn how computers store text

2. Storing Text Computers use binary to store characters
A character is a letter, number or symbol from the keyboard.
Characters include:
digits (0-9)
letters (A-Z,a-z)
special characters etc)

3. Storing Text
The list of characters a computer can process and store is called the character set.
Each character is given a unique code number using 8-bits (1 byte)

4. Storing Text
Most popular form of code is ASCII (ask-eee) – American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
Extended ASCII uses 28 different codes = 256 different codes.
e.g = 65 = A
= 66 = B

6. Complete Task 3

7. Success Criteria
I can convert from text to binary and vice-versa.
