In unit 1 last week i found a story that we had to annotate and i did about Georges story which was about his work and how much he likes working where he does and that he likes instruments and the story is based on not judging people for what they do in their jobs and what they like. Today in class we had a discussion about Angelas story which was about an old man that is deaf and he wants to kiss the nurses and he likes doing routes because he does the same thing every day, in the discussion we was talking about the different communication barriers that were in the story and we was being videoed when doing so. I didnt contribute in the discussion really because i get nerves when talking infront of people but i knew what the story was about, i didnt quite get the different communication barriers that had to be in the story and when we had to talk about them i didnt really know what they was because i didnt know all the meanings for what they all was. I talked a bit about the communication barrier for the age cap between the nurse and the patient because they both do different things and know different things by the way they have been brought up.

I have done all my tasks that i have needed to do in all of my units apart from one because i dont know what to do and i dont understand what i have to look for in barriers of communication for unit 1. I have to do a few more tasks in my other units and i find a few units harder than others at the moment but i get on with all my work that needs to be done and see what happens when it gets mark. I get help alot in my lessons that i have been having and i understand more when i get shown what i am doing wrong in a task. In unit 1 i dont understand atall what communication barriers are, even when i look them up for all the 7 different meanings for each, i dont understand what some of them mean. I think some of the lessons and tasks are getting harder now but i am trying my best to do what i have to do.

For the last few weeks in ict i have been getting all my work up to date because its time to move on in the course and move onto different assignments and other tasks. I think i have done well this week because i have finished all the tasks that were needed to be handed in and now i can move on to other things in the tasks that i have for different units. Also i have been working hard in my maths lesson as well because there is an exam coming up and i want to do well in this lesson so i can pass it, i need to revise more though because i get distracted most of the time and do other things instead of revising and doing some of my work.

During this IT course i have done lots of different units with different teachers. I have learnt how to set up a blog and i have done a PowerPoint about it, this piece of work is what i did in unit 1 with Paul. I also did some work which was about what employers are looking for in a person, which had to be 800 words long and i did this task with Paul as well in unit 1. I have done a task on barriers of communication which i did with Martin in unit 1, this task had to be 500 words long to complete the task. I have learnt that this unit is about communication with other people and this unit is helping me with how to work in a team and learning different things that are to do with communication throughout my life. Things in this unit are going alright but i am struggling with the work a little bit because it is a bit hard when i dont really know what i am doing.

I have also been doing units in other lessons with other teachers, i have been doing programming and i have made a calculator by doing all different coding in this task and i do work on what programming is about and i talk about lots of things that are in the unit. I have learnt a lot with this unit because i now know what to do with programming and what it is used for.

In some other units in this IT course i have been learning about all sorts to do with computers, using computers and also what can be in computers that are useful. Examples of these units are learning how to make spreadsheets and doing formulas to make them work and then i have been doing screenshots of what i have done in this assignment that i have been given in the unit. I have also been learning about how to make a website and what the important things are when making a website because i have to do lots of typed up work before i come to making my own website about somes business that i know. I think the rest of these units are okay for me because i know what i am doing at times but i still get a bit lost with the work i need to be doing but i ask for help so that i can get the tasks over with so i can move on and get all my work in, like i have done so far with the assignments that i have done so far.
