Cycle 9 Day 10

Today in IST we took a Skills USA test that was 70 questions and questioned you about your trade and other areas of knowledge, such as math and science. also we did a lesson on VNC or Virtual Networking Computing. VNC was very interesting to learn about and it will be something I want to learn more into later. Also I learned about remote desktop connection on windows based computers. I want to learn more about VNC just because it can be very helpful with making a network. And it will be easier to manage. Overall today was a good day I was productive and got all the work done I had to do today.

Cycle 9 Day 9

I was absent today.

Cycle 9 Day 7&8

Debating on browsers

Cycle 9 Day 6

Today in IST I prepared for the debate tomorrow on what web browser is the best. I got put in the group for Google chrome which is one of my favorite browsers besides Firefox. I have found out that Google chrome might be faster than Firefox but it doesn't have as good as security as Firefox. which is a concern because I don't want to get any malicious software on my computer. Anyways I think we have a good chance of winning the debate because my group and I are well prepared to discuss why our browser is the best. Steve, Mike, and Alfredo are in my group so I know I can trust them with being ready for this. Today I learned that Firefox has better security than Google chrome as I said before. I want to learn more about the coding that browser's are built on. Today I was productive and I got all my work done even though we had a substitute teacher and I was on task through out the whole day.

Cycle 9 Day 3&4

On both these days in IST we worked in Microsoft excel with Mrs.Vaughn and I helped Steve Change from his cooler master case to his smaller NZXT case for his water cooling project. Also I worked on my internet research paper on Thursday and now I'm pretty much done with it I just have to print it and hand it in. On Friday we went down to H.V.A.C to get zip ties for Steve's water cooling project. Overall for both Thursday and Friday I got a decent amount of work done. But next week I intend to do a lot more.

Cycle 9 Day 2

Today we went on production to KAPCO. KAPCO is a company that distributes O'rings for commercial airlines and who ever else needs O'rings. While we were at KAPCO we were presented with a lot of information about the business world and networking. The main I.T. guy there Jay was explaining how they recently moved to virtual pc's instead of massive servers. this way is more efficient and cost effective. plus it takes up way less space. Before we left, we were given server hardware and other computer hardware. Overall today was a good day and I learned a lot.

Cycle 9 Day 1

Today in IST we started a research paper on the Internets origin, protocols, different features, the future of the internet. and browsers, sercurity and safety. Also we reviewed on what we did last cycle and Mr.Sid told us our grades one by one. Today I learned about different internet protocols such TCP, UDP, and IP. I want to learn more about how networks work and how to make them really secure. Overall today was a good day and I got a lot done on  my research paper.

Day 8 Cycle 7

Last friday we had a shop party before our week off for Christmas vacation.
