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...

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.

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,...

Computers in the Workplace: Healthcare IT

"Health IT is more complex than Rocket Science 🚀" - Epic Using computers in healthcare is essential. Computers allow clinicians to document and research patient information, complete diagnoses, and administer medications. In addition to clinicians, some employees also use computers for other roles such as IT, finance, HR, etc. Employees in this environment need to be computer literate because all of the documentation about patients is on the computer. For example, in the majority of healthcare organizations around the world, electronic medical records are accessed by computers. If, let’s say, a nurse or doctor were not computer literate, how would they be able to document patient diagnoses, symptoms, and assessments? All clinicians need to have a basic understanding of computer functions. On the administrative end, it’s also vital for users to be computer literate because all documents and employee information are primarily stored on computers. Lately, the trends of comput...
