Week 8

This week was continuing on with p5 and doing a leaflet explaining to people whether i thought it was appropriate to use social media in the workplace. I did this on punlisher in a leaflet so as it is desgined to be easliy readable for the audicence. I found this task faily easy as you dont have to write a lot however what you do write has to be very good standard! I have also finsihed off my chat between 4 members of my ict group discussing via facebook if we thought social media in the workplace was appropriate and came to the conclusion that it all depends on the size but also the type of buissness it is. By finishing off this task it has also helped me complete my social media leaflet as i have had to explain on that in the most consise way what we have been didcussing.

Smart target: Try and get on top of my work load more as i keep getting behind in this subjects and others!

Week 7

Week 7- I have done a a email task (P5) Where i had to do Send emails, add contacts and set up mail folders etc. screen shot these and present this on power point and explain step by step what i had to do to set up these things. By doing this it has helped me improve my own mail box by setting up ict feedback folders which all my feedback from my ict work goes to and lots of other things. So this task has helped me organise myself much better. I also made a start on my social media chat, which is basically talking about the effects of social media in the workplace, and screen shoting the conversation into a word document. Doing this i felt didn't benefit me at all really and was a bit of a pointless exersise. However it does show the examiner i can use differnt forms of communication.

Sadly i didnt finish my social media conversaton with its screen shots and a conclusion in a document as i wanted. So this week my target is going to be to try and manage my work load more as i am letting work get on top of me from this subject and others like my media and product design, as they are all course work subjects.

Week 6

This week i have tryed to brush up on my excell skills as i havent used excell since i did a ict course which in year 9 and i couldn't remember a lot of it. So i looked at some tutorials on how to do different functions, then i did a leaflet showing step by step how to do each one which would benefit other people. However by doing this it has helped me learn it much better. As i have had to screenshot and explain each step. In detail. My publisher skills have also been developed by doing this task as i dont usually use publisher so this is widening my techniqual skills, which is a good way to advertising things for example leaflets and flyers. By doing my work on publisher it means you can display your work in a much nicer formate espesially if it is for a flyer to be posted through peoples doors.

Also this week i have had a crit meeting for my art which is a meeting with my art teacher and the head teacher presenting my work and showing what i have done and where i am planning on going with it. So i have been very busy doing that.

Next week i am going to try and improve on my work standard.

Week 5

This week was a big week for me as i had to do p2, p3 which is doing a power point presentation on how to deliver a good presentation, then present it to people. Overall i think i did very good as i was nervous about standing up and speaking in front of people. So i had to make sure the information i researched on it was correct otherwise i would look unprofessional when doing my presentation. also when doing my presentation because i was looking at how to deliver a high quality presentation, this in itself gave me tips on how to deliver mine. I also did notes attached to my power point that offers a greater depth into what i was explaining. In my presentation which the examiner wouldn't be able to see.

In my presentation i felt i spoke clearly and precisely and was very professional, so i think i achieved something by doing this task which, might even help me when going to interviews for example.

Next week i am going to try and improve on my spoken communication even more because i feel it will benefit me allot not only in ict but when i go to future jobs as well.
