Emily owns this blog which is supposedly Maxinne's.
This blog is also supposedly for schoolwork. Well you know what. That is a load of sheep poo because, yeah, no.
Sorry Sir. (:

:) hi hi.

Today we were introduced to Outlook by Microsoft Outlook. It's actually quite good - probably saying that because of the instant messaging thing but that's not the point. The point is that it has the potential to help us xD!!!!

And not just restricted to IPT assignments~ buhahahahaha.

Am currently im-ing with Jess :) she's actually pretty funny :O.

ahahaha.

Overally happy today for no reason ^^v

And that work about the things we would neeed for a gaming media - it's on Jess's (the link before) page :) we worked together on that.

And and we finally handed in our assignment last lesson xD

Oh and there is this photography comp that is being run by the Photography class :) I'm thinking of entering..I want to xD
Dunno if I can though....

Okay I'm trying to finish up all the profiles I've been given, and I've finished the login page which made me happy, and with the basic home profile page, I've made the basic outline of what it should look like and I'm pretty happy.

The theory will in most likelihood be put up next week - nearer to the due date (and it shall be done :) .. need to go look at the assignment outline of what we need to do).

And yes I'm finalizing things with what I need to do.

Okay it's been a LONG time since I've updated...but I've finally got the pop up windows to work - after all those lessons swearing at the computer..

Anyway today I've done the login page and the fail to login page, Claudia has began the work on our home page.. D: feeling dead.


Need to work more..update later..

Okay so this post is just going to be about our assignment - which we haven't decided on a title. And as stated in my last post it shall be an electronic yearbook. And today we set up what different aspects of pages, and I tried to do a 'preview' of one of them - I chose to do one for the profile page, or at least the page that will eventually link from the 'boss' page of the profile.

Profile page layout:


Yeah that's what we drew up today during class. And what each page will contain, however we still aren't sure the concrete layout of it. And we also defined the situation to which we would have presented our electronic yearbook to:

We also decided we will be doing 10 prototype profiles from the people in our IPT class, and the volunteers are:

1. Myself
2. Louisa - (Amun-Ra)
3. Claudus
4. Jess.Bee
5. Alex
6. Mariel
7. Em
8. Marjorie - (Butter)
9. Monica
10. Aakriti - (Aa)
    

Yup that's my update for today *thumbs up*

Feeling:

Okay originally we had decided to create a website tour of our school, but there was another IPT group doing the idea (LMN & K&M) therefore we decided we wanted to do something 'special'. Instead we're doing a 'year book' type of thing for our entire IPT class, but only those who agree to it, and Mr Cavil too (Louisa: "We shall make him agree")

Layout Plan:




The future of our IPT classes –

· Future goals

· What really happened 20 years from now

· Most likely to…?

· Profiles about each person

· Personal quotes

· Different facial expressions

Yup that's all for now.

:) yay I figured out how to lock text boxes, and now people (users) will be unable to edit any text boxes or sheets I have chose to 'protect' :D I'm feeling quite proud now! WHOO!

Yeah that's all for now.

Labels: assignment, IPT, markbook

Yes well I've uploaded my assignment, although the data flow diagram has me at a lost, and seeing as I'm going away for the weekend I'm slightly panicking, not so bad right? O.o Oh god!!! Ha anyway I think I might have to edit it thought, the instructions page I 've been trying to find out how to lock text boxes but it continues to elude me.

Ahh well I'm pretty happy with how it's turned out.

Labels: assignment, IPT, markbook

Yup that's pretty much it for today. Stress free, and working well today.

Feeling: ,

OKAY! I'm going insane with this assignment, I've finally done my gannt chart (date are kinda out of whack but it's all good I'm working on getting back on schedule so that's at least something working in my favour).

Here is the Gannt chart:

Hope this is legible -.-" I'm not really sure.

I'm not finalizing the context chart - thank God I made notes on what would go where on that PDF file.

Okay so today I continued to do the assignment...and it's killing me, I hate macros!!! So as a stress reliever I have decided to decorate the pages and add buttons to the sheets. I now have a 'Homepage', 'Instructions' and 'Template' page as well as my attempt of creating a markbook example.

Labels: assignment, IPT, markbook

Okay well today we started the long process that is Macros...I mean seriously I curse the people who created these things. I'm quite happy that we can 'record' Macros so we don't have to remember them, or else all hope of me creating this assignment goes out the window.

That's all!

Labels: IPT, Macros, markbook

Okay so I've begun creating my markbook and so far it's going pretty smoothly. I have entered nineteen different students with their marks/percentages they've recieved in four different 'assessment tasks'. I have also created the option to filtering the coloums, therefore allowing the option to sort the inputted information. And of course I have started decorating it, I am also trying to make the grades show whether or not the student passes of fails the assessment.

This post will be dedicated to making/writing my requirement report. But first I thought it would be smart to put what exactly a requirement report is :).

Labels: assignment, class work, IPT, markbook, requirement report

Yes well I think it's time for me to research what markbooks actually are, umm..yeah I'm pretty sure I know what it is. Markbooks are the storing of scores/marks of students from tests/exams and assessments.

From a website a markbook is decribed as "combines ease-of-use for teachers with a powerful database system, separating out the functions of teachers and of administrators, and drawing a distinction between assessment and reporting.MarkBook replaces manual or ad hoc systems of keeping track of results and producing students' reports"

Advantages of using a markbooks include:

• Is flexible and responsive
• Easy and manageable
• Accurate and fast
• Easier to duplicate
• Distribution is also simpler

Disadvantages include:

• Possibilty of losing data
• Chance for data corruption

It is often advisable to create more than one copy of a file, to ensure that total loss does not have a chance to occur. It is also advised to save a copy to a usb or CD-ROM, keeping it away in a secure location.

Yes well, we got a new assignment and we have to create our own information system. It is an individual task and we can use either access or excel, I think I will be using access because I think it would be easier - SHOCK! - and um...because we can decorate it :). Requires us to create a problem and solve it.

Oookay..

so we've been doing MORE - not that it's a bad thing...of course not! - diagrams to show the purpose/use of etc etc. of facebook, skype and...email (thanks Alex :D). Yah so it's been pretty basic - although I still get lost on the information processes thingys...so I'm goanna put the acronym to help me remember:

• Me - Maxinne Balatbat
• Lousia Kable
  IPT stuff/
• Claudia Chavez
  IPT09

AND TOGETHER WE ARE LCM's

Yup and our choosen subject..is IM or instant messaging networks..or software :)

Good luck to us all!!!!

Hellooo..
yes anyhoo haven't been writing in this, thought we didn't have to. However, I shall and what we have been doing in class is creating excel spread sheets which display marks, salary paid and how many hours had been worked - all in all varying degrees of difficulty.

Yes.

Now we have been creating a powerpoint which details the different data types - and examples - that are available to used over the computer. We included:

• Text types - .doc, .txt, difference between rich and plain text
• Audio types - .mp3, .midi, .mid, .wav
• Video types - .flv, .mp4, .avi
• Number types - ....
• Image types - .jpg, .gif, .png, .tiff

Yeah that's pretty much it for now..
