Today, we began our main lesson by recalling everything we had learnt in our previous few classes.For example, we talked about binary codes and logic gates and discussed how they were relevant in the running of a computer. We then moved on to list the compontents a computer needs in order to run, which are as follows;
Machine Language
Low Level Language
High Level Language
Operating System
Software.
I can't remember the defenition we gave software, but according to wikipedia it is "a general term used to describe a collection of computer programmes, procedures and documentation." For example, Itunes and Word. Ms Hueber then showed us the Mac programme Blender which is used for graphic design. She showed us how to make shapes, change their colours and make them move. Watch this space for our designs ... :)

by the way, anyone can comment now. I removed the restriction on members only.
ReplyDeleteI feel highly compelled to say that blender is #NOT# a mac programme - this is a huge misconcept, if anything it is a GNU/Linux programme, but being opensource, it can be ported to a wide range of systems.
ReplyDeleteIt is good that open source is being used in the lessons, however, I would have hoped that more would have been used.
