Learning Style

In today’s lesson we had learnt what our learning style is because we did a simple test with 3 answers for 30 different questions. Overall my result was that I came out a visual learner which means that I learn best by watching someone demonstrate how to do something and then I take notes on how to do it. I can learn better through this method by working from lists and written directions and instructions. I also could learn better by sitting at the front of the classroom to get a better view of what is happening.

My results are that I got 14 points towards the visual learning style, I got 9 points towards the auditory (Lectures/Discussions) and I got 7 points towards the physical learning style.

I later did two more test to check my Visual, Social, Physical, Aural, Verbal, Solitary and Logical. The first test was needed for me to think by myself and judge myself according to the subjects. I roughly drew a spider diagram with those subjects in the diagram. After I analysised the spider diagram to see what my personal outcome was I then had to visit a website to do a similar test to see if my initial spider diagram was what the website said it was. The website consisted of 70 questions and then after answering all of them I had to fill in my personal details then I was presented with a spider diagram with my results. Then I compared my results that I drew to the results that I was given from the website.

I was happy to see that what I drew what almost identical to the results I got from the website. The only different that I had to these two results was that I had more logical learning style from the results from the website. I am quite happy with these results because according to both these results I know my learning  style pretty well but I am also very pleased because I now know that I have a bigger logical learning style than I thought I had initially.

How to replace a processor

How to install or replace a processor

Firstly you need to get the desktop computer. Also before you start taking it apart you will need to plug it into a power supply and into a monitor, keyboard and mouse to see if it works and also have the special wristband so you don’t overload the components with electricity. Then after checking it works simply start unscrewing it, but just make different piles of the screws e.g. where they came from (the shell). After unscrewing the shell and taking it off, lay the computer on its side to view all the content. After doing so, start to unplug the drives (the CD drive, the floppy disk drive, the Hard Drive Disk and any other drives that you may have). After unplugging the drives move all the cables out of the way so you can access the motherboard to install or replace the CPU. Then you will need to unscrew the motherboard and then put it on the table next to the computer. After this, you will need locate the CPU, it’s normally under the fan (which helps it not to overheat). After you have found it, you will need to unclip the levers from each side of the fan. Once unclipped the fan you will have to be REALLY careful because there is a toxic fluid that keeps the processor intact with the fan, the fluid is called thermalpaste (you can get it on your hand, and you probably will do but just wash your hands after). After removing the fan you will be able to see the processor and all you need to do is unclip the lever at the side of the processor to be able to lift it up. Once you can lift it up do so but with great ease. After it has been removed, insert the new processor in the correct way (on the underside on the processor you should see a golden triangle and there should be a golden triangle on the processors slot. Once found be REALLY careful to insert the processor because if you bend any pins the processor WILL NOT work. If you were going to install a processor from scratch you will need to do any of the above because that is for replacing the processor. After you have inserted the processor you will have to screw back the motherboard back into the computer, then put the drives back in, plugged the drives back in and put any other spare adapters that may be needed to plugged into the motherboard. Then after everything has been screwed in, plug in a mouse, keyboard and a monitor and then plug the desktop computer into a power supply to check to see if it works.

Reflection Of The Reflection

"I thought that your body language was good, good clear speech and the content was informative. Accurate evaluation some good points raised and some valid bad points. you over ran by 30 seconds to avoid this having a clear structure will help prevent this. Effective evaluation." - The Inital Reflection


My thoughts on the relfection I was given are that I am pleased of the way I presented the presentation, my body language, my clear speech and that the content that I was talking about was clear information that I given. I also thought that didn't give enough good/bad points about the topic. I also think i did just do around 30 seconds, and that wasn't enough so there is room for improvement there. I would need a structure to work from and get all my information from whilst I was talking.

Groupwork

Today we did some group work and I think I did okay because I had to listen to the ideas people had and write them down onto a piece of paper.
