Daily Routine

Graphic Design. We were made to do a graphic design of our daily routine at PSHS. It was easy and fun integrating pictures and descriptions of the activities undertaken.

Header, Footer, and Page Number

We were told to do a business letter that should contain header, footer and page number. Header is located on top of the paper. To make one, double click on the top portion of the paper in MS Word program. Footer, basing it on its name is like a foot meaning located way below the page to be worked with.To make a footer, double click at the bottom of the paper being worked with in MS Word program also. We do also page number for easier navigation of page being worked with.

Aircon is Cool

At first I was enjoying staying near the aircon unit in the lab, however I often got cold, still I could not resit the coolness the unit brought. Sometimes I tell Piper or Reeka to relay to our teacher to lower down the thermostat of the aircon. I'm still so happy sitting near the aircon unit.

It's The Green Table

The first lab work we had was making table about the daily schedule of 7-Emerald, our class. The color of my table was green and white; green because Emeralds are green. It was so much fun doing something in the lab and tinkering with computers. Its easier to do work in a computer because we can readily edit , redo or customize it to suit our needs.

Computer Race and The Odd Computer

The moment we started having hand-outs, we always race to be the first to boot our respective computer set in the laboratory, however, Piper our classmate and my close friend always beat us in opening her set. We learned later that she has a different computer set because it has different desktop background then, but now we were all using the same desktop that is not unique but just like any other computer set.

Back-Up Back-Up Rin Pag May Time

Making back-up files is very important, I've learned my lesson in this aspect the hardest way when I lost my memory card way back. We can readily buy the memory card but never the memories that were saved there via photos, videos and others. The best back-up filing I can suggest and maybe will do next time is to save it on a CD or a flash drive and the photos be developed later.

DOS

We had our first hands-on which was about command prompt. We followed Sir's instruction on what to do. I knew the significance of command prompt which is being organizer of the files and quite dangerous to handle because one could accidentally delete everything in the computer. Also, in this lesson I've learned some symbols and codes used to make commands. 

System vs Software

We compared ICT system and ICT software. ICT software is the software that allows or provides telecommunications while ICT system is composed of hardware, software, data and the people who uses them. If ICT system is composed of software, therefore ICT software is part of the system.

They're different

The first topic we had was differentiating Computer Science, ICT and IT. All I knew before was that they are all the same. Now that we've discussed it, I've learned that Computer Science is about computations and design of computer. I also learned that Information and Communication Technology or ICT is the technology which involves telecommunications. Lastly, IT or Information Technology is the technology about the use of computer systems, software and network for the data to be produced.

The teacher

Before having our first meeting in Computer Science I, I was expecting that our teacher will be kind and not too strict to us. When I first saw Sir Tom Jordan Secundo, our ComSci teacher, I was happy to learn that he is young and  a PSHS-BRC alumnus thus can relate to us. Sir Tom studied college in Bicol University, the school where I took pre-school and grade school. He is a little strict but competent and very considerate.
