Understanding Secondary Storage: Types, Uses, and Considerations in Computing

In this lesson, we explore the concept of secondary storage in computing, focusing on different types such as Optical, Magnetic, Solid State, and Online storage. Students will complete a crossword puzzle and research various storage devices to fill in a comprehensive table. We will discuss data access methods and answer plenary questions about suitable storage media for backing up data. Additionally, students will analyze why certain media, like CD-ROMs and floppy disks, may not be suitable for modern storage needs and the differences between CD types.
