Friday

We started off today preparing for our presentations. We had not finished our presentation properly as it was quite hard to find information for XHTML. I was making notes on the other presentations so I can refer back to them when I start on assignment one.

Creating the presentation was quite stressful once again because of not finding any information. After we did the presentation we had to add in more information. Adam helped us and that did help us understand more what we were doing. I found out you sometimes have to look around for the answers and look for other possible methods.

Overall this day has been quite confusing and stressful however in the end we managed to work it out. Over the weekend I do need to finish all of my re submissions so I am caught up with all my work. I have two submissions left to do so it should not take too long.

New unit

Today we have started the new unit. The new unit is web animation and it seems quite interesting as I have never done web animations before. We started off today with looking at some optical illusions. I have seen some of these before but some of them I have not. I like looking at optical illusions as they are clever and its fun to try work out how they work.

After that we moved onto the quiz. This weeks quiz was made by Brandon. He made it into a video what was a clever idea. The video was on web animation and it was quite interesting. In the end I got 6/14 so I did not win but the good thing was that Joe or Liam did not win the quiz!

We started to learn about assignment one and and it seems quite simple. We have to explain about different terms to do with animation. We are doing a PowerPoint presentation for this in pairs so I'm not too confident with it. I am happy that we are in pairs as I prefer being in pairs / groups instead of being on my own. We were working on XHTML and it is quite hard to find information on. We have managed to do most of it however we cannot find the creator and some other information.

Tuesday - Assignment three finished!

Today will be a short blog as I am finishing early. We started off today doing the end of unit survey. I have learnt a lot throughout the unit and this unit has been quite interesting. I never knew there was so much to do with networking. I can see I have improved from the start of the unit as I did not understand most of it.

After that I started working assignment three. I had a read through the scheme of learning to understand what I was doing and that did help. I made the layout and started to write about the effectiveness of wired and wireless. I feel confident with task two and I think I have met the criteria for it.

When I get home I will proof read it again and then send it off ready for marking. I have half the work at home so I will need to proof read that as well.

Monday - Assignment two

We started off today doing a typing challenge to warm up our brains. I managed to play two games and I got about 50 words per minute. I was happy with how I got 50 words per minute. We also had to write a target for today. I found this quite helpful because I could easily plan out what I wanted to complete today. My goal was to complete assignment two and I have nearly finished it.

After we had done that we moved onto working on our goals. I started off working on assignment two task one. I did have a little bit left and I managed to finish that off just after break. I moved onto task two after that and I have nearly finished it. I have one bit left and then I can send off assignment two ready to be marked.

Overall I am happy with my progress today and I will finish off assignment three tomorrow. I do not have too much to do for assignment three so that should not take long.
