Week One: Status Report


Throughout this past week, my peers and I, have been introduced to the world of Computer Programming. This week introduced us to weblog-making, different methods of problem solving, and flow charts.

For our weblog, our goal is to update it weekly with a status report. This report is a summary on what has occured during the past week; work accomplished, work remaining etc. Also, we were able to customize our blog, by following the guidelines our TIK teacher has provided. Personally, I incorporated music clips, images, and videos into my blog. I did this because I wanted my weblog be somewhat entertaining for whomever stumbles upon it.

This week, we also focused on problem solving charts. We went step-by-step to figure out the proper steps we should remember in solving problems. Examples of problems to solve would be buying the right computer, or finding a summer job for a student. Currently, our class has been focusing on flow charts in programming. A flow chart is a diagrammatic representation that illustrates the steps to be performed to solve a problem; like a problem solving chart but much more complex. Once a flow chart is drawn, it is much easier to write a program in any high level language. I have attached an accurate example of a flow chart to show some idea of what I am refering to.

Thank you for reading and stay tuned for next week's report,

Rocking R.
