Introduction to Computers and Business
In this unit we learned how to use a Mac and how to save files onto the
school drive and which programs are which. We learned how businesses are
classified and what the computer ethics are. Ergonomics is important to
everyone and we learned what it is and how to make your workspace the best ergonomically.
We improved our typing skills through multiple games and exercises to increase
the speed and accuracy. We learned about the entrepreneurial method, which
entrepreneurs use. Researching about an entrepreneur helped with our knowledge
of how business works and what sacrifices are needed to be successful. We learned the processes such as forecasting and created documents that
demonstrated these skills. We also had to apply the terms we learned such as
revenue, profit, and expenses into our market project. We did a mock market
which allowed us to experience what preparations would be needed if we were to
start a small business.
Ideal WorkspaceI chose this artefact because it demonstrates the ideal workspace for someone who wants the proper ergonomics. I created it using google images and Microsoft Word. It meets the objective of learning about ergonomics and developing a workspace so injuries can be prevented. Each of the products I have chosen help with a person’s ergonomics and I have explained how and why I chose that product.
I chose this project because it forced us to research an entrepreneur and learn what it takes to be successful. We used Microsoft PowerPoint to create a presentation that shows the life of Walt Disney. We put gifs in that relate to Walt Disney and music from a Mickey Mouse show as well. Learning about entrepreneurs what it takes to be one is really important because it will be helpful in the future. It is really inspiring to look at and analyze what famous entrepreneurs have done.
Market Project
I chose this Market Project because it was the start of knowing how to start a business. We learned specific terms such as forecasting, available means, costs, revenue, and profit. With the help of knowing these words, we were able to create a hypothetical market and all the requirements needed to help it start. We used Microsoft Word to create our project and we learned how to determine the revenue and profit and what to pay each employee. This project is one of the most beneficial projects because it teaches us about how to determine the profit, which every business wants. We also learned about financing and the difference of equity financing and debt financing. To view our entire market project, click the picture.
