Information Systems and Binary Addiction/Subtraction!

Aim: Describe the features and functions of information systems

Objectives from Adam:
*Consider how Tesco ClubCard was created and what this means for Information Systems.
*Create a quiz about a feature or a function of information systems.
*Describe features of information systems.
*Describe functions of information systems.
*Research an effective diagram to describe the information system loop and justify why this is.

Over the weekends, I have spent my time doing a lot of art in my independent study time. Coming into college, we firstly had a starter activity where we looked at the reason behind Tesco clubcards. They use information system and this was a good read.

We then had the quiz Ben made. It was also about information system and about its uses. At the end I got 9/10 with Brandon and Euan. We both decided to let Euan have the dual monitor again. Matthew got the lowest again and has to do the quiz for next week.

Adam then covered U03_A2T2 in a different way. Instead, we were each assigned a term and had to make a quiz so we can learn in a different method. In my opinion, it didn't teach me anything, despite it was fun. Next time, I would rather stick to presentations or mind maps. I will be reading more to learn what I don't understand. Before lunch, I finished up by creating the document.

Objectives from Emily:
*Be able to convert between denary and octal.
*Be able to calculate addition and subtractions sum directly in binary.
*Be able to check sums calculated in binary by conversion method.
*Calculate addition and subtraction in octal and hexadecimal.
*Calculate multiplications and divisions in different number systems.

Before the lesson started, I downloaded my U26_A4 resubmission and she briefly asked me on my opinion in regards to how her marking is. I gave her some feedback and have decided to work on it sometime and ask her anything I am stuck on.

We then re-covered what we learnt last week (octal, hexademical, denary and binary) and also wrote some new facts on the mind maps we created last week too. I wrote a use for denary which is money and measurements. For the rest of the day, Emily taught us to add and subtract and binary. Then I practised upon this. It was challenging but I am starting to get it with practise.

My improvements and goals is to practice for next week's mock, get U26_A4 resubmission done ASAP and begin/complete U03_A2T2.
