Checklist report

Hey guys,

As my last ICT job of the year I will be typing about the grade 10 checklist.

The checklist was a big task for many in my class, very little of them have past the list. When I first started the checklist I had already missed 2 lessons(4 hours) which made me think That I’d probably only finish like 10 of the 15 jobs.

So in a way I’ve surprised myself, and with-in the time I’ve been doing my checklist I learnt many things.

My biggest challenges that I will face between now and grade 10 will be ‘Creating with ICT’. Creating things on the computer isn’t my specialty so I’m looking forward to improve my skills in this area.

Thank you, Miss Wyatt for this experience in 2009 :-)

Call of Duty 6: Modern Warfare 2.

Hey guys,

 

Today I am writing a short review on the new game modern warfare 2.

 

On November 11th 2009 the game Modern Warfare 2 was released. Call of Duty 6 (or CoD6) was released internationally and had around 500,000 players release date. Many stores opened at 12am to sell the game.

Call of Duty 6 was developed by ‘Infinity Ward’ (alike the other Call of Duty’s).

 

Call of Duty 6 can be played in First person or 3rd person mode (optional in online play). There are also three major game types;

 

Campaign/Story Mode

Special Ops (Signal player or Multiplayer online.)

Multiplayer (Only playable online)

 

__

 

Multiplayer is the main game-type I play. It has many different Weapons, Gun Attachments and Maps.

__

 

I recommended this to any gamer who like First Person Shooters or enjoy the CoD series.

Researching skills;

Today I started on the researching skills assignment, I first tested my skills on the lego question which was; In 2003, Legoland announced a national search for model builders for its California them park. Who got the job?”.

 

I failed this task so I tried a poetry question, this question was; “Find the name of the poet whose poem begins with the line: This is about no rain in particular”. I did a lot better on this one, I typed in the quote and entered wiki, this opened a Biography for me telling me there name. I finished this one in 1minuite 5seconds.

 

The second one I did was questioning; “What toy did the Apollo 8 astronauts take with them into spaceI completed this one in 16 seconds, I did this buy entering the question and found the answer…

Keyword challenge

I just completed one of the ‘keyword challenge’ tasks called ‘Hollywood’. My first attempt at the test was weird some-sort of glitch as I put all the words in the correct section but it said they were all correct but one… So technically I got it right but it glitched or something. So I got 100% :)

Call of Duty 6: Modern Warfare 2

This Wednesday the 11th of November 09 the game CoD6 will be coming out It has been sold out in many stores and is expected to be one of the best games to hit the stores ever! I have already pre-orderd the game for the normal edition for $100 at ‘EB games’. However you can pay $180 for the ‘Prestige edition’ to get it with a hard case and ‘Night Vision Goggles’!

I know I’ll like this game because I have 3 of the sequels (CoD3, CoD4 and CoD5). I also look forward to getting this game and I’ll tell you about it after I get it!

making a positive digital footprint

First of we need to take the time to find out what is a digital footprint? Well a digital-footprint is where you post something on the internet and although you may think you’ve deleted it it’s still in the world wide web.

Take this for example; you go for an interview you do well in the face to face talk and they tell you they’ll contact you in a week to tell you if you’ve got the job. But this person (the interviewer) looks you up on the Web/Myspace/Facebook.

Then they see a picture of you Smoking and drinking alcohol. This makes you look like your not appropriate for the job so there you have it you lost the job.

It’s also important to look out for what you write as a comment or status, what you write may be a funny to you and your friends but if your employer see’s swearing or abusive language in your status. You’ll be in a bad position.

A good way to improve your digital-footprint is to double check everything. Your spelling is also vital to check for some jobs. Also when your going to upload a photo think, is this a smart thing to upload?

Hope I gave you some-what of an understanding of what a digital-footprint is.
