Wednesday 17th November
In tutorial we discussed the problems with having social networking sites on the internet at college as it's too distracting and cyber bullying. Which are blocked by Barracuda, we had arguements for them to be unblocked by saying that it's easier to solve cyber bullying in college than doing nothing about it at home. Then some people including me discussed other bullying situations to realise the horrors of it on how it effects on people.

Programming, we discussed the assignment and the deadlines also going through all the tasks/programs we've done since we started at the beginining of the year, as we all have to produce them in our first assignment, demonstrating the code we used as some people couldn't get their programs to run.

Monday 22nd November
Database, we exported tables in Excel to try and edit or add some more records then seeing whether it was able to recognise and adapt to the changes we had made by then importing it back into Access. For me this was successful on both accounts, then we carried on creating forms I would of done more if I was given more time to do the work in class.

Wednesday 10th November
In tutorial, I updated my ILP (Individual Learning Plan) to update my deadlines on all assignments and also to make a note of work which I need to complete, to raise my grades above a pass. This took me little time to update but I think I should do it more often, considering that was only the second time I’ve opened it in 2 months, to prevent falling behind in some of my lessons.

Thursday 11th November
Programming, was made a little more difficult this week but I still managed to complete the task before the end of the lesson with not much help from my peers or teacher, but then I only just know the basics of visual basic the main program we use as I haven't used it before, but slowly progressing forward with the knowledge I need to know.

Information systems, was a summary of we had be tought since we started the year by a quiz of 14 questions which also took up all of the lesson to answer and mark it was too make sure we all understood most things and to recap for the people who had missed some lessons, including me.

In our group we attended the "safe drive, stay alive" lecture, which was very dramatic and emotional, to see all the horrific reconstructions which happened to ordinary people, as it could easily happen to anyone considering the statistics are quite high as they stated that one in five people could be in an accident between the ages of 17 and 25. Also learned about what it would do to your family if someone passed away which was devastating to see a woman who talked to us about how she lost two of her sons in different accidents, as we also learned how one lapse of concentration could lead to something so critical, when it could be either tiredness and drink or drug driving. This affected me on being more aware of when I get in a care of who the driver is and how much experience he or she has had also to always wear a seatbelt, no matter on how far I’m travelling.
