My first Week

The first day i started a number of subjects

Advanced spreadsheets -
We had to talk about what you can do in excel, such as sums, charts, etc. We also had to create a chart based on sales of a regional team. We also used the IF statement to figure out if people were old enough to have a free buss pass or not.

Programming -
In Programming we were getting taught the fundamentals of Programming and how it works, for example you have to tell the computer everything to do exactly how you want it as it cannot make decisions by itself. We practised writing a programming code out on Microsoft word. We were asked to write out a programming code to make a robot make a piece of toast.

Website Design -
In Website Design we were taught how to format documents to make them appear more professional. This included adding things like the author of a book, date, tile, etc. Also adding headers and footers makes it so it is present on every page instead of adding them on each individual page.

Information Systems -
We were learning about different hierarchy and ranks in a company. For example... Admin, Management and Senior Management. We were also taught what the difference between Data and Information is. Data is raw facts and figures, and information is something that has been processed and we understand it.

Computer Systems -
In this lesson we were taught the difference between the different connections through the internet, such as LAN (Local Area Network) and WAN (Wide Area Network). Out Tutor told us how a network works and that everything is interwined.

Game Design -
In this elsson we talked about the different types of games that are out there and the different dimentions that are used in a game. We were given homework to do, to play a game and then wruite a report on it, involving graphics, gameplawy and any other points that we might come up with.
