Febuary 9th Status Report

During the first week of Computer and Information Science I learned many new interesting things. Our objectives this week varied from making flow charts, problem solving, working on our new blog and finishing an ethical essay on illegal downloading. I had heard of blogs before, but I never really attempted to create one before this class. Once I got started I had a lot of fun creating my blog.

The area where I probably had the most difficulty was with the flowcharts, I was grasping the concept fairly easily when the problems were simple, but on Thursday I had a basketball game so I had to leave tech class early. When I got home I looked over the homework and I was slightly confused. When I returned to school on Friday I asked my peers for some help on the flowcharts and they helped me quite a lot.

The beginner flowcharts were similar to the image below.


I successfully completed and gained quite a bit of knowledge from my blog, flowchart, problem solving techniques and as well as completing the ethics essay. I learned valuable information about problem solving with very simple processes and I am looking forward to trying to use the problem solving techniques later with more developed problems and activities. Regarding my blog, I am very proud of the work I've done so far, but there can always be improvements, so in the near future I will be trying to improve my blog to make it the best as possible. In conclusion I learned many new interesting things and I am eager to see what the weeks coming up with hold.
