Documenting a Day: Jossi's Day

Jossi's Day In this assignment, the software applications applied were from the Microsoft Office 365 bundle. The purpose of this assignment and using the various applications is to determine what is the best application for each task. For example, the best application is Microsoft Word to write a journal or document. For calculating time spent on activities, I used Microsoft Excel. Lastly, the best application to demonstrate a presentation is using Microsoft PowerPoint. I will compare Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint and the benefits of using one versus the other depending on the task. The functions of Microsoft Word are meant primarily for documents. The ideal application for writing journals, essays, and research papers is a word processor such as Microsoft Word. The advantage of this application is that it has the necessary tools to document papers. If a user needs to draft an essay, a spreadsheet or presentation application will not be appropriate as these will not...

The purpose of my blog reflection is to ensure that in the near and distant future, users have a place to go to learn and absorb information from a relaxed source and apply it to their studies and field. One issue I enc...

Programming Languages: Scratch

Jossi's Scratch Project 🐾 Using Scratch was an exciting experience. At first, I was unsure that I had arrived at the correct website because I saw many cartoon images and sounds, so I thought I clicked on a game for children. However, I was excited to begin my assignment after confirming I was on the correct site. It gave me a “Are you smarter than a fifth grader” type of feel. I’m not one for perusing through instructions, but when I watched the overview, it made more sense. I like that you can test each block action and see it on the right pane. I didn't appreciate that I had to reset most of my sprites to their starting positions manually. Another thing is that there should be a way to add various sprites within one screen instead of individually having all the sprites and their codes. If all sprites, backgrounds, and sounds were part of the same screen, there could be an identifier that would indicate that block or code was specific to which sprite; for example,...
