Placing Computer Memory or The Unit of Digital Information Into Education

"The Riese Unit Of Volume"

Dear Sir or Madam:

I am writing you today, because it has come to my attention that there currently is no set curriculum for volume dealing with Computer Memory or Unit of Digital Information at all, even in the back of Black & White Marble notebook volume charts or state regents examinations.

Here is the conversion chart for the basic Unit of Digital Information, or Computer Memory which is used every day by virtually all people in general across the globe.

Byte:	One byte is eight binary digits, such as 1111001.
Kilobyte (KB)	The smallest file stored on a smart-phone, tablet, mobile device, storage device, or CPU is typically four kilobytes (4KB) in size. A kilobyte equals1024 bytes.  1KB is the same as 1024 x 8 = 8192 binary digits.
Megabyte (MB)	1024KB equals one megabyte (MB).
Gigabyte (GB)	There are 1024MB in one gigabyte.
Terabyte (TB)	There are 1024GB in one terabyte (TB)

The current curriculum for volume is outdated, and the Unit of Digital Information, or Computer Memory of volume should be implemented into the core curriculum within the Mathematics, Science, and Technology Standards as a mandatory field of knowledge. 

I currently teach the scope and sequence to my students on my own merit for computer volume, and feel it would be useful to all students starting at the middle school level where volume is introduced.  Currently there is no curriculum which implements such knowledge of Unit of Digital Information, or Computer Memory  for measuring volume electronically.

I feel it would be very useful to have this standard of volume put into the core Mathematics, Science, and Technology Curriculum, and to have it placed on New York City Regents Exams as a required element of study at the middle school level. 

As a teacher within the Mathematics, Science, & Technology Curriculum for over 18 years at the middle school & high school, I would be honored to assist New York State Legislation to construct a scope and sequence for teaching the volume of electronic bytes. 

Far too often when my students have electronic graphics, websites, or portfolios they do not understand this method of volume initially, and I would like to have an impact on that.  I feel this will better the educational system to foster students understanding of necessary units of measurement.  It also gives future entrepreneurs an idea of the sizes necessary for optimizing the load time of a website or app.  This can help people optimize their business ventures. 

If this curriculum for volume goes through legislation, is implemented into the NYC Public School Curriculum, and is mandated on New York State Regents Exams, all I respectfully request is that it be named “The Riese Unit of Volume”.

“The Riese Unit of Volume”

I have proposed this legislation to the 27 New York Congressmen and Congresswomen, two U.S. Senators, The NYC Chancellor of the NYC Department of Education (Carmen Farina), MaryEllen Elia (NY State Commissioner of Education), Mcgraw -Hill Companies Corporate Office Headquarters, and the Trump Organization in NY.  The list of recipients to get this ball rolling is included with a stamped letter.

I deeply respect the work we all do in a day, especially here in New York.  I am here dedicated to improving education as a masterminded team of professionals dedicated to success.  I foresee a curriculum that is relevant, fun, and exciting!  The summative evaluation is already in place.  Its Quantity!

Thank you for your kind consideration of this matter.

Respectfully yours,

Dino Riese
