Information Technology Course Analysis

Improved Essays
Information Technology can help you in many different aspects of your life. A few of these would be your social life, your educational future, in your future profession, and to get a deeper understanding of computer programs and networking. I intend to carry over all of the knowledge I obtained during this week throughout my entire stay here at Job Corps and with any sort of computer assignment I may receive in the future. The personality test we took during this course was even beneficial to me because it gave me reassurance as to who I truly am as a person. It helped me touch base with my true feelings and emotions. I was also able to finally create a resume during this course, which will assist me in finding a job in the future because I …show more content…
These reasons include having access to all of my teacher or counselor’s e-mails. By having access to all of these e-mail addresses I will be able to keep up to date with all of the assignments I may need to turn in or that I may have coming up. Thanks to this class I am also able to function Microsoft Word much more efficiently than I was able to prior to coming on center. I had forgotten a vast majority of the tools and functions that Microsoft Office is able to perform. I had completely forgot how to work Microsoft Power-point but after completing this course I will be able to create an entire slideshow including clip-art’s, still images, 10 plus slides, and header and footer’s. I will be able to carry these skills I have obtained into any profession that I may pursue because Microsoft Office is the main source of programs that are needed to complete any task on the computer. Thanks to this class I will not feel completely helpless when I get assigned to create a spreadsheet on excel, a slideshow on power-point, an essay or official document on Microsoft Word with a proper format. In college power-points and essays are vital to your success throughout the course, over 90 percent of the assignments I receive will require me to use a computer to complete …show more content…
This class has improved my typing skills which will benefit me even when it comes to social networking. The power-point presentation practice will assist me with any sort of display I may need to do in order to progress through the company I am with in the future. Without this class I honestly do not think that I would have been able to complete assignments and tasks that I received through Job Corps in the future. I feel that this class was very beneficial to me and anybody else that took it for an endless amount of reasons, it is just a matter of whether or not you are willing to accept new information and knowledge. At first I was a little iffy about taking an intro to technology course considering I have always been very advanced when it comes to computers. But once I began the course I realized on the very first day that I had forgotten a lot of key components that are necessary to complete quality work on the computer. I am very appreciative that this course was placed in the second week of the introductory phase at Job Corps because that is the perfect time for it considering the fact that the first week we did not need any computer knowledge, and from here on out we will most likely need computer knowledge the entire way through our

    The course material was very interesting and it had realistic deadlines. This definitely motivated me to complete assignments and to get involved with group discussions. I would state that I was successful in implementing study habits, organizing time to ensure I was not rushed through the course material, and using the virtual environment, “discussion forum” to interact with other students. All of my assignments were handed in prior to the deadline, with most of them being handed in earlier. I will absolutely continue to take online coursing to improve my education in any subject as this has been a very positive experience for me.…

    I thought it would be “easy” to write about something I already knew instead of researching a new LMS. What surprised me is when I was finished putting my thoughts to paper, I had written nearly 1500 words. I knew that nobody would read a post that long. It was actually tough for me to tone down my knowledge and pick the most important aspects of Google Classroom. I’m still sold on it being the best that I’ve seen--and the most practical--at least for me at my current position.…

    As it was my first co-op work term, I was given a supporting role in the team.

    Sources say that input is where people like to collect and archive, and even collect relationships. I can’t say that I would have labeled myself this, but I can see how I qualify as such. I think this strength could be beneficial in my future career with networking and making relationships with people within my industry.
