Blog post 3
This is my third blog post; this will include what I have learnt between blog post 2 and this blog post in each of my lessons.
Key Skills
Recently I finished doing my additional assignment, I found it very easy but I still have to do my major assignment to be able to finish this unit early and not have to go into lessons. Also recently I had a key skills test I also found this very easy apart from one bit, eventually I found out how to do it and breezed through the rest of the test.
Communication & employability skills for IT
Recently I have been up to date on all my tasks and got a lesson off because of it. We have now started doing our presentations which we will present in front of our teacher and a group of friends; I’ve decided to do it about World War 2 because I know a lot about it.
Website Production & Management
In this unit so far I have done task’s 1 & 2, this unit is a little bit harder than the others and sometimes I can find it quite boring a difficult which does not help me concentrate, but on the plus side I have learnt a lot about security of website’s and what they do to protect there customers, also about the many different laws a website has to make sure they have abided by, for example the Disability Act Law.
Networking
Recently networking has been going very well I have completed up to 4 tasks and I am ahead of the class, sometimes the knowledge that needs to be taken in can be very confusing and overwhelming but I do get a lot of help from the teacher. Because there is so much to take in I don’t always understand it first time but I have learnt a lot about what happens when someone sends a message over the internet or when someone requests a website and what route the message takes for the website to show.
Advanced database skills
In this unit I have done 3 tasks in my assignment. I do find this unit one of the hardest unit I have to do, but the amount of knowledge I have gained from this unit is extremely helpful especially when I did my Key skills test.
Computer Systems
We have finished our theory assignment in this unit, it was only 2 tasks and wasn’t difficult. We have now gone on to doing our practical assignment one of the tasks involved us installing a webcam making sure it works and then uninstalling it I found this very easy (because I do this sort of thing a lot at home) and very fun (because me and friends were being silly over webcam, but didn’t get in trouble for it) I feel this assignment could be very interesting.
Principles of Software design and development
Again in this unit we have been doing our assignment there are only 3 tasks but task 2 and 3 are very long. Task 2 which we are currently on, involves us writing down many different programming languages. Because there is so much to do on this I have learnt a lot on different ways of programming.
