My Weekly Status Report

First, we had a big test for most of the things we went over since the beginning of this course. After, we got a homework flowchart assignment which took me a little while, but it’s not that hard. The next day, we got an “Introduction to Visual Basic” handout, and went over it very thoroughly, and saw all its functions, while Visual Basic was being installed in the program. Also, we had a lesson on cryptography and had a bonus sheet of brain teasers.

The next day, we finally were introduced to visual basic, by starting our first project, which was making a tax calculator. Also, we got our marks back for our blogs. The next day was a half day, so I just continued to work on the tax calculator. And on Friday, we had a Visual Basic lesson, and continued work on our assignments. :-)

This week, I handed in my Flowchart assignment on Monday, and we got a note on introduction to computers, with some terms, and a little describing computers assignment. The next day we got a note on parts of a computer, and learned how a computer processes information. Also, we did some memory problems, and learned how many bytes are in a kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte, etc., and learned we have a quiz on Friday. On Thursday, we went through the rest of the answers of the flowchart assignment, and our test is now on Monday. We got introduced to pseudo code and computer software. And on Friday, we went through cryptography, and got our assignments back.

This week on my blog, I started off not adding anything, because I felt that it was ok already. But later in the week I started off by posting 2 robot chicken shorts. The first one was darth vader, and the second was Calvin and Hobbes. Then I posted 3 pictures, the first 2 were South Park pictures, and the 3rd was the 2007 Porsche 911 Turbo (nice car). And I also added a game called “Hexxagon”, it’s kind of addictive, but it’s ok.

Weekly Status report

This week we were introduced to the blogs or weblogs and started on posting. I first checked out some famous peoples blogs to get some ideas for mine. Then I started my account and customizing my blog by first adding a post, then making a friends’ list and added a favourites list. Later I added pictures and videos and a counter that has the letters like in 24, so it looks cool. Then I added some songs or audio clips to my blog, because it’s cool.

We first learned problem solving and all the steps to identify a problem, analyze it, brainstorm, prioritize ideas, list steps for each idea, and test the solution. Next we learned another way of problem solving was to make it in a flow chart, like in a certain system in a computer and use certain symbols to indicate things, along with some loops. And we got an ethics assignment due on the day and a flowchart due on Monday.

My first post

Hello there sports fans, this is my first post, and as the NFL season ends with the Colts taking it, the NASCAR season begins. For the first time in NASCAR history, The Nextel series will have the Toyota Camry. Before this, team Chevy was dominating the majority of the races. Will team Toyota be dominant in the 2007 season? Well we'll just have to find out.
