11. How to Begin Using TINA • The next screen has a Flash tutorial that you also will have separately on your resource CD.

13. Ideas for the classroomICE 3M & ICE 4M • We recommend this software for grades ICE 3M and ICE 4M. EDISION is better software to use in TEE 2O • Draw the schematics for each of the fundamental logic gates. Copy and paste each schematic into a word processing file. Use the charting features to complete the truth tables. (ICE 3M)

14. Ideas for Boolean Simplification • Draw the schematic for the following Boolean equation. Use the simulation feature and record results in a truth table. • Simplify the circuit from question 2. Use the simulation feature, to verify your results.

15. Ideas for Troubleshooting • Develop a set of circuits that have problems. Students are to troubleshoot and correct the problems. Students are to maintain a learning log of troubleshooting errors.

16. Ideas for Combinatorial Circuits • Draw the following combinatorial circuit. Copy and paste your schematic into a word processing file. Explain the circuit. Include an explanation of the purpose, the inputs, and each output.(ICE 3M) (half adder, full adder, half subtractor, full subtractor)

17. Ideas forSynchronous Circuits • Reproduce flip-flop circuitry schematics. Conference with your instructor to explain the flow of electricity through each circuit. (ICE4M)

18. Ideas forSummative Activities • All projects must begin with the design of the circuit. Use Tina to design your circuit. Test the outputs using the simulation feature. • Complete a “schematic walkthrough” for your project circuit. • Use Tina document with text report to explain functions of the final project.
