My final blog

I was in group "BOC 11" along with Alex sharfner, and John Downy for a group presentation. During my 11 weeks of computer applications class, I have been fortunate enough to learn and understand all of the basics tools used to complete a very nice final presentation. But there is more than just the final presentation that stands out in this class. I have learned so much in this class; it has helped me prepare for what is to come. I think Mr. Pinto did an excellent job in teaching discipline to the class and teaching all of the programs. He has impeccable abilities that I would still like to learn from. I hope all students take this class seriously because these programs are very essential to a great career and if you don’t know how to use them you will not be successful in a new job you perform in. Knowing how to use Mac computers was the hardest part of the whole class. I had no knowledge of using one, let alone a brand new computer that was recently installed in the school. I have to admit though, I was very nervous about using these computers, I was not prepared on what we would learn but I am definitely happy with my performance even though there were some difficult times that had hit me during my first quarter.
In conclusion to this blog I have to say that my final grade should be a B+. The reason for that is because I worked hard in this class, but I also had some difficulties completing assignments, mainly it had to do with my personal struggles at home. I have been living under negative conditions, just coming to school was a struggle because of how emotionally tired I was when knowing that every day when you get home you will be met with someone calling you a loser. So I must admit, getting assignments in and making them look professional was definitely a struggle for me, but I never gave up and I was in class most of the time doing my very best with the tools I was given. When I came here I forgot about all my problems and did everything I could to excel in this class.

Final Project Arrangements

We have a group project, that needs to be done for next week. The objective is to create a powerpoint presentation with music and video to a crime themed presentation. I have a group put together that i feel is really going to be beneficial to our grade. I formed a group with Alex Sharfner and John Downey. John will be taking care of the soundtrack. I will be taking care of the information that needs to be researched. We have an article that can be used to help with that. Alex will be responsible for setting up the slides and finishing the powerpoint itself. For friday, we will be getting together and and shooting a video and taking pictures of the crime we decided to theme our presentation on. But, by friday i will have some information and research done for alex so that he can put some slides together.
