Week (11)

This week is the last week in our course and we studied about Microsoft Access or database.

Microsoft Access: is an information management tool that helps you store information for reference, reporting, and analysis. And can help you overcome the limitations found when trying to manage large amounts of information in Microsoft Excel or other spreadsheet applications.

We learnt first how to create database, insert information, and make tables in access.

Then we learnt how to make a relationship between the tables, make form and report for this information.

I was happy and had tension at same time; I was happy because we finish our course so it’s the end of the semester but I had tension because after one week we have final exam. Hmmmmmm  L 

Week (10)

In this week we studied about Google, what we can do in it and we took especially about Google site.

Google Sites is a structured web page creation tool offered by Google as part of the Google Apps Productivity suite. The goal of Google Sites is for anyone to be able to create a team-oriented site where multiple people can collaborate and share files and for free.

And also in this class we got the group project 2, we have to design a website from Google site; we have to make 4 pages at least; first page to introduce about ourselves and the group and the other 3 pages we will choose one topic and write about it like for example for my group we chose cooking and maybe we will change the idea.

I think that’s all what we took in this week.^_^

Week (9)

I have learnt in this week about The World Wide Web (abbreviated as WWW, commonly known as the Web) is a system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet. With a web browser one can view web pages that may contain text, images, videos, and other multimedia, and navigate between them via hyperlinks.

And also we studied about the web application and the difference between web 1.0, web 2.0 and web3.0.

Like for example web 1.0:

-         Is Describe as “ read only web”.

-           Web 1.0 is about client server.

-           Static HTML websites.

-         Example of web 1.0 are Double click.

And web 2.0:

-         Describe as read-write web (Dynamic web site).

-         is more than search for information.

-         Web 2.0 is the popular term for advances Internet Technology and applications including blogs, wikis, really simple Syndication (RSS) and social bookmarking.

-         Some of the Web 2.0 applications that allow user to share their experiences and allow to edit and provide drag and drop facilities are: Flckr, bloglines, del.icio.us, technorati etc.

And web 3.0:

-         Web 3.0 is based on intelligent web applications using.

-         Natural language processing.

-         Machine-based learning and reasoning.

-         Intelligent applications.

And I think that’s all what we took in this week……thank you Mr. Azam Aldeen   ^_^ 

Week (8)

Sadly to say that also this week there is no electricity and no air condition in our class, so we moved to the library to study about same topic with last week.

It is Information System Methodology; in this class Mr.Azam Aldeen explained to us about the Information System Methodology

He explained to us what the information system methodology is and the collection of it:

1)Procedures           2)Tools          3)Documentation aids

And also he explained to us the types of ISD methodology and the last thing we studied is the waterfall methodology:

And in this class the teacher explained to each group alone because we are in the library and this class was short and fast a little bit because every group finished can go.^_^

Week (7)

Asslamulikom this week is first week after holiday. I think that we will tae a big rest on the holiday and no study but actually we have to prepare for the mid test for ICT so we were preparing and studying for it. And here I remember that there is no rest of studying in the life of students.

I was afraid a little bit because some information weren’t very clear for me.

This week there was no electricity in our lab class so Mr.Azam Aldeen gave us the class in the library.

In this class we did an activity; we have to go and find information aboutt Information System Methodology.

Me and my group searched in the internet and we found that information system methodology  is a collection of procedures, techniques, tools and documentation aids which will help the systems developers in their efforts to implement a new information system.

And the methodology is a collection of:

•         Procedures

•         Tools

•         Documentation aids

 And we call the system development life cycle sometimes the waterfall method:

And when we finish searching we show what we have done to Mr.Azam aldeen and here the class finish.

Week (6)

   In this week we have done a presentation of the assignment that we did in the previous class about TRANSACTION PROCESSING SYSTEM (TPS) we explained a little bit bout IS information system, the types of IS and how the (IS) is related to our life in general and as students in specific and we mentioned OPAC as an example of it.

And here I was shocked because our teacher Mr.Azam aldeen said to us that we have a quiz about IS information system. It was confused somehow L but I learnt from it some new information about IS from the quiz.

I was happy a little bit in this week because the class was short and we have a lot of assignments to do and we have to prepare for panel discussion, so we spend the rest of the time in prepare the panel discussion.

 Week (4)(5)

Assalm alikom.

This is the fourth week and we learned in it about IS information system and as we know that information system is the combination of hardware, software, infrastructure and trained personnel organized to facilitate planning, control, coordination and decision making in an organization.

And also we learnt in this class about the component; we have 6 components:

1-    People (the user of the information system; who manage and make the program running..)

2-    Telecommunication (Electronic transmission of signals for communications which enables organizations to carry out their processes and task through effective computer networks).

3-    Software (Consist of computer programs).

4-    Hardware (Consists of computer equipment).

5-    Database (An organized collection of facts and information).

6-    Procedure (Strategies, policies, methods and rules for using computer information system including operation).

And there are main types of information system (IS);

1)      TRANSACTION PROCESSING SYSTEM (TPS)

The transaction processing system (TPS) records the data from everyday operations throughout every division or department in the organization. Each division or department is tied together through the TPS to provide useful information to management levels throughout the company.

2)      DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM (DSS)

It is an organized collection of people, procedures, software, databases and devices used to support problem-specific decision making, it is used when problem is complex.

DSS are used to support unstructured problems that   require human judgment.

3)      EXPERT SUPPORT SYSTEM (ESS)  

It is a computer system that emulates the decision-making ability of a human expert.^[1] Expert systems are designed to solve complex problems by reasoning about knowledge, like an expert

4)      MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM (MIS)

It is an integrated collection of people, procedures, databases and devices that provides managers and decision makers with information to help achieve organizational goals.

It provides the right information to the right person in the right format at the right time.

5)      EXECUTIVE SUPPORT SYSTEM (ESS)

An executive support system helps managers make strategic decisions affecting the entire company. The decisions use internal and external data to give executives the information they need to determine the proper course of action in unstructured situations.

These types are very important especially in using in an organization, as we mentioned before that each on of these types do an important, unique and specific role from the others.

Each type of these systems is used in different level in the organization as we see in the picture dawn.

This week I was happy (^_^) because I learnt new information about IS and the types of IS; who and when use every type, but I think it is confused a little bit especially about the components and types so I will wait next week to ask our teacher Mr.Azam aldeen to ask him about it and I think I need to read more to know about it.

In this week also we took assignment; every group got one topic, they have to explain about it and write example about it. Like my group got (TPS)so we explained about it and we mentioned as an example he OPAC (online public access catalog).
