Friday

Today we had Adam for the first two lessons and John for the third lesson. With Adam we did a group activity for task two. We were doing all the different network services what are quite confusing. In our groups we had to research Packet Switched, ISDN, Wireless Access Protocol and broadband. We had to find out about what it is, the benefits and the limitations. I was researching the Packet Switched. It is quite interesting learning about all of the different network services.

We also watched a video looking at Bletchley Park and how they were cracking pieces of code. This video was quite interesting showing about how they worked together and cracked code. It is quite interesting seeing the past and how they worked back then compared to now.

After lunch we had John who was talking various things for task two. Today he talked about network software, access methods and communication and protocols. This was quite confusing however once John explained it I did understand it better. I made notes throughout the PowerPoint so if I get confused I can easily go check my notes to help me.
