Today we bonded into groups and did some practical work on PCs. I thought that this was helpful because this practice will be put to good use when it comes to the practical part of our assignment. I also made changes to my practical sheet that I will use when troubleshooting PCs. We also looked at different software that can be externally used to troubleshoot other PCs such as anti virus, disk cleaner and image data backup.
I have missed some pieces of work due to having no internet until the 15th of November. My next assignment is due tonight which is U20 A3T1.

Today we started to plan ideas for our Unit 41 3D model design. I decided to go with a nature theme so I could design models such as trees, animals and other aspects of the theme. We had an hour dedicated to learning about safeguarding and how it protects people like college students. Finally, I created a 3D model of a cactus in Blender.
The next assignment I have due is a resubmission for Unit 13 which is due the 27th of October. I also have U20 work that is due the 31st of October and U41 work due in November so have some time to make a start on it.

Today we spent around two and a half hours reviewing A1T1 for unit 13. Looking at example of my peers work, it was easy to spot mistakes that were related to wording issues, grammar and using the wrong information. I felt that it was embarrassing for me when looking over an example of my work but at the same time, this helped me gain confidence on writing that particular part because the class helped me correct it and suggest how to improve different parts.
The next assignment I have due is a resubmission for Unit 13 which is due the 27th of October. I also have U20 work that is due the 31st of October and U41 work due in November so have some time to make a start on it.

Aims and Objectives 16/10/17
Aim: To design web pages using CSS and a scripting language
Objectives:
Understand the importance of the design process
State what documentation is required
Create the designs for the web pages, including an outline of content
Explain how CSS controls the layout of parts of your pages e.g. text, navigation, spacing for tables/image
Create design documents (flowcharts and pseudocode) for two interactive elements
Today I managed to complete all of the designs for my website and I am happy with how it looks and the colour scheme that I have gone with. I also refreshed my memory from last year with practicing writing pseudo code and creating flow charts. I have not fully completed the assignment that is linked to this yet because I still have not written about how CSS controls the layout of each of my pages.
The next assignment I have due is a resubmission for Unit 13 which is due the 27th of October. I also have U20 work that is due the 31st of October and U41 work due in November so have some time to make a start on it.

Today we created a 3D model in blender related to food and drink. My original ideas were a Banana and a Takeaway cup but I decided to use the Takeaway cup because it has an easier design. A screenshot of my model can be seen below. We also had a tutor hour session about Dyslexia. We looked at a website and it has improved my awareness off it because I now know how Dyslexia effects people. We also had another tutor hour which was about the importance of both female and male role models. I learnt that more males dominate the STEM career sectors rather than females.
The next assignment I have due is a resubmission for Unit 13 which I dont know the date for as of yet. I also have U20 work that is due the 31st of October and U41 work due in November.

Today I reviewed and updated my troubleshooting repair sheet and improved it to the best of my ability. Something that helped me with this was looking at somebody elses sheet and adding/changing features based on their ideas. We also swapped seats and added comments on other peoples repair sheet to help them improve it.
The next assignment I have due is U20 A3T1 which needs to be in before the 31st of October. I also have U13 work that is due all the way in December but I need to make a good start on that soon.

Today we started out next assignment which was about designing our website. This task is very similar to last year which makes it straight forward to understand. I have already completed a big chunk of it including the designs of each webpage. This afternoon we practiced writing JavaScript and I managed to code 3 different types of alert buttons that display different messages and have different outputs. This task will help me write create JavaScript code for my website as I need at least 3 different JavaScript functions for it.
The next assignment I have due is U20 A3T1 which needs to be in before the 31st of October.

Today I worked in Blender to create a key ring in the form of a 3D model. I did some creative research and found three examples of models that I wanted to create being a pumpkin, Mario mushroom and a Rubix Cube. I decided to go with the Rubix cube because it has a simple square shape design. To make it look more smooth, I subdivided the cube then extruded and scaled each individual square which made it stand out. An image of what my final design looks like can be seen below. One thing that I forgot to add was a hole for the keychain to fit into. For the rest of the afternoon I worked towards completing assignments and am glad that I completed most of them so I can look forward to the weekend.
The next assignment I have due is U41 A1T2 which I will complete tonight. I also have a distinction criteria for U20 that I will not be going for.

Today I worked with a partner to have a go at installing an operating system onto a PC. The method that we used was with a CD with an OS installer on it. This did not work as we kept getting errors. We then used logical troubleshooting steps in order to try and resolve it. We found out that the hard drive failed so replaced it and tried again. I found this practical straight forward because it was something that I had done before.
The next assignment that I have due is U13 A1T1 which needs to be handed in today. I then have a U20 re submission to complete before the 5th of October and four other pieces of work to hand in before the 6th.

Discuss, with examples how a scripting language can be used to improve the functionality of a website
Research and explain how web pages that do not support scripts implement them.

Explore how web pages using scripts are implemented in different browsers
Objectives:
Discuss, with examples how a scripting language can be used to improve the functionality of a website
Research and explain how web pages that do not support scripts implement them.
Today I learnt about how scripting languages improve the functionality of a website. This includes maintaining cookies, handling forms and browser detection. This will help me with the second part of my assignment. Today was not very interactive because we basically worked on assignments all day but I feel that this has benefited me because I completed a fair amount of work.
The next piece of work that I have due is U13 work that is due tomorrow so I need to complete and submit that before its due.
