First Post

Hi, this blog was created for the IDCICT course at Mackenzie.

In the past few weeks, I have worked on two assignments.
One of the assignments involved setting up netbooks.
Our school had won a contest in the past and a full class set of netbooks were given to our school for educational purposes. These netbooks came brand new and no software was installed.
This dilemma called for a team to set up the netbooks.
In the very beginning, Ms Cuttle asked the class about who has experience setting up netbooks with Windows 7. I come from a long history with setting up Windows 7 based operating systems, so I put my hand up and I was assigned a netbook.
I set up the netbook by installing all necessary software and troubleshooted when required. MAC2 was the netbook that I have completed.
I then noticed that Jina's student survey group could use a bit of help, so I headed over to help them out. I was no aware of the requirement of writing my name on the netbooks that I have set up and I gave the netbook to another student, who wrote his name on the box.
I worked very hard on troubleshooting this computer and I believe this should be included in my final mark.

For completion of task, I would rate myself 4 out of 4.
The task was completed without major problems or inconveniences.

For Cooperative participation in the group, I would also rate myself 4 out of 4.
During the process of completing the task, I would always put my full effort into the task assigned.

For creativity and critical thinking, I would rate myself 4 out of 4.
A main role of setting up netbooks is troubleshooting. There were no problems after a series of troubleshooting techniques.

For initiative, I would rate myself 4 out of 4.
I always used my class time effectively (as I cannot take the netbooks home to finish the task).

The second assignment was based on netbooks and who in Mackenzie should be using the new netbooks.
With much deliberation and research, my group concluded that grade elevens in language classes will benefit the most from netbook technology.

For completion of task, I would rate myself 4 out of 4.
The task was completed efficiently and accurately.

For Cooperative participation in the group, I would also rate myself 4 out of 4.
During the process of completing the task, I would always put my full effort into the task assigned.

For creativity and critical thinking, I would rate myself 3 out of 4.
Although I always put my input and I involve myself in all discussions, I am not very creative.

For initiative, I would rate myself 4 out of 4.
I always used my class time effectively and I completed all of my share in my group.

Overall, I worked realy hard on this task and I had a lot of fun completing the task.
