Today John shew us some videos on BBC website, I have no idea what the relevance was but I suppose its to wake us up a bit and have a discussion before we crack on with work.
As today is only a half day there isn't much to talk about or write about. I crack on with assignment 2 task 1, i think i have nearly completed it i just need to spend another half hour on it to make sure everything is done.
I had a discussion with john about my graphics assignment 3 task 3, I now know what to do to get it to a decent standard.
today was a laid back and fairly easy as i knew what i was doing!

Today we looked at some cool videos on YouTube that John shew us. Today was famous TED Tuesday video day, some people did alright an others not so well. I came joint second out of three or four people which inst bad going, I think the percent I got was 70% or high not to sure though.
for the rest of the day I was doing assignment one task 3, I managed to complete the whole task. In the task I talked about VAK learning styles and how people learn best for each one. I also talked about Mumford and Honey learning style. In my introduction I mentioned how it benefits people to know what their learning style is.
I also started on assignment two task one but only got a bout a paragraph done.
Today was good, me and Dan disgusted what we were going to do for assignment 2 task 2 as we are in groups of two.

Today when we came in John shew us a TED video which was interesting.
The tasks I did today was updating Communication and Employability Skills for IT Assignment 1 task 1, I have completely updated it except the communication part in the task but i have a good example that John likes.
Today I have done task three in the same assignment I just need to create a short questionnaire so people can find out which learning style they lean towards more and see what type of person they are.
After lunch John was not a happy bunny as people where throwing cards around and chicken, but its all good now people went to clear it up.
Today was a good, I have definitely learnt a lot more about learning styles and barriers in good communication.

Today after our 5 day weekend due to snow, we started our new unit which is Communication and Employability in the IT industry. We were in pairs to do a little task at the beginning, we had to list as many attributes as we can and then discuss them as a class afterwards.
We then got a card each with an attribute on and had to write a short definition in our own words.
After break we started on Assignment 1 task 1, I completed P1 and started to do P2 but don't understand P2 much, a bit like Lewis, Dan and Matt.
In Assignment one task one we had to list the personal Attributes and attitudes that employees look for the list that I can up with is;

Today John opened the day with watching the TED video so people wouldn't have an excuse tomorrow to say they didn't watch it. To be honest we didn't watch it properly he just skipped to different parts.
Today I was completing all of hardware assignment I updated three videos which were; Video 1- installing RAM and Video card, Video 2- installing AVG, Windows XP SP3, Chrome and Libre Office, Video 3- Benchmarking the computer. I need to upload one more that I have nearly completed. I completely redone the layout of assignment 2 task 3 and added a lot more in, so there was more detail. I added information about firewall and how it helps improve your systems performance. I sent that off to John and he said it was good, so I guess that's a good sign.
Last Thursday we all/ most of us went to the open day at NUCA (Norwich University College of Arts) it was a very interesting day the best lecture was the Games design, there is a lot involved in that but looks really good, their success rate for people getting jobs straight away after they leave is 92%. they go to big company's like Sony, EA and Rockstar for example. What they have on offer is a very high standard and good qualifications. People who go there achieve a lot in the couple of years. the whole layout is nice and the teachers really know what they are on about.
It was a good day there and wasn't as boring as going to a two hour lecture
Me, Lewis and Ben T had a lovely meal in the Waffle House!
Today was good and as I liked the hardware unit so it was relatively relaxing but I completed 3 nearly 4 videos and one document.

January 9th Jan
Today this will be a short post as we were only working on one task.
we all (level 3's) cracked on with assignment 3 task 3, I have done three pages today and have compared 10 images all together. I have nearly finished it but just need to add a couple more file formats then I think that'll do for that task.
This morning I got up early as I wanted to finish off some work before I came in. I finished Hardware Assignment 2 task 2 and then email it to john. I finished off the outstanding video I had not uploaded to YouTube for john to analyse but that is all done now and I have email him the link.
All I need to do is wait for his feedback and update those two pieces of work

Tuesday 8th Jan
The first thing we did today was to do the TED test. i have no idea what score I got but I should imagine it was rather low as I did not watch the video because i completely forgot about TED.
After that we had to pick our favorite band image for our album cover and had to put them in as many file formats we could. I put them in every format that was available to save them. once we did that all the level threes walked around to have a look who had the biggest file size.
once we had done that we had to get about 12 formats and the had to compare the quality of image. I had to put them in low quality, high quality, changed the color depth.
I managed to compare 4 images all together today but will do 8 more.
I have been so tired today mainly because I had a terrible night sleep. really need a way to find out how to reset my self clock!
Today was good but very tiring. till tomorrow see y'all later
