Thursday 7th October
In programming we were asked to change the background colour so it changed every time we clicked button which I successfully achieved and then were asked to create a textbox which came up with each of the grades and the equivalent it to it E.g. merit = B which I managed to create is well but after I understood the code of the names of everything which complicated me at first. Information systems we continued mainly on from the week before on researching internal as well as external sources which we studied and understood in our own definitions then compared them in groups to share ideas and add any other necessary information in.

Thursday 30th September
In programming we used software which I was new to (visual basic). We were given a couple of sheets to use as a tutorial guide to start of by creating buttons also changing the background, quite basic to get used to the tools and then expanding it into a number game which I found difficult with all the code.

Information systems, we were asked to find the meaning of key words to make sure we understood everything, we were on our own and finding it on the internet using any websites we wanted, the words were specifically linked in a business environment.

Monday 4th October
In database design, we were found out how efficient databases are by playing a game which involved us being a business in a group of 4 it was a sandwich company and they used a paper database instead of computer, it was a mess on paper making too many corrections and also other factors such as trying to read the handwriting was difficult even although on a computer database they can make mistakes but they are far more organised and efficient.

Tuesday 5th October
Graphics, we used adobe Photoshop and illustrator, I found Photoshop easier as I’ve used it before and know where everything is. We had to bring in a photo which we took ourselves then made a couple of edits, then saving our finished picture in different formats adding to our presentation with our other work we did in paint which was similar.

Wednesday 6th October
In hardware (computer systems), we were given our assignment on showing our knowledge in computer systems, processors etc ..., on key words and areas giving descriptions and diagrams to show our full understanding. We started it today and I should finish it easily before the deadline day which is just over two weeks away.
