Final Project

What did you learn this term in Computer Fundamental?
This term i learned a lot about computer fundamentals starting with the hardware of the computer and what is their role in the computer for instance the hard drive is used to store data or save document and or programs into your computer we also learned about input and output devices. Besides we learned about software we used Microsoft Word,Excel and PowerPoint we used these to complete projects and or labs in which we had to follow steps and learn how to use the software. Finally we learned how to navigate the web and how to use our e-mails properly.

How these new skill would help you achieve your long term goals?
These new skill will help me using a computer and in the future it will help in either other classes or in any job. These skill will help because i will be able to manage doing basic stuff without the need of help like using Microsoft office and being able to write an email or to surf the web.

Why is technology important for any career you would be pursuing?
I believe technology is important for any career because in the future technology is going to advance and you will at least know the basic for a computer this will help you in any job because in my opinion i would rather hire the person with more knowledge in computers
What Academy major would you follow for the rest of your high school career?
I would like to follow computer programming because that what interests me more
