Completing phase one of IS101.

PHASE 1

I think I did well overall in phase one of IS101–3003, but I could’ve kept up more consistently with my lab Sims. And future phases, I plan to prioritize my study time better, stay ahead on assignments, and focus more on reviewing and learning from the bonus quizzes to strengthen my understanding. I realized how easily it is to fall behind.

I chose 4.3.6 Font Tips because I think understanding fonts is important for creating professional and visually appealing documents. To prepare for the upcoming MO–110 word certification exam, I am going to practice my lab Sims more consistently and review key concepts so I feel confident using all the tools in word.

Overall, I’m proud of the progress I’ve made, and as someone who balances a busy schedule, I’m learning how important time management and consistency are to reaching my goals.

IS101: Learning Digital Skills

Hello everyone, My name is Brittney, and welcome to my blog. I’m a current student at the College Of Southern Nevada studying my Associate of Science, and I’m excited to share my journey as a student throughout this semester. One of the classes I am currently taking is IS101-3005. You will watch me become more confident using technology and overall improving my technical skills.

My first impression of IS101 has been a positive experience so far. The class seems very straight forward and organized. This course will be very beneficial especially for students who want to build stronger computer and digital skills, and I’m glad to be taking a course that teaches skills I can actually use outside of the classroom.


In Discussion 2 Part 2, I chose to focus on improving my ability to use attachments and hyperlinks. One activity that helped me was LabSim 1.3.11 Attachments and Hyperlinks. This lesson helped me understand how to correctly attach files and include links in a professional way, which is important for submitting assignments and communicating clearly online. I feel like this skill will help me in other classes and even in my future career.


Overall, I’m excited to continue learning and growing in IS101. I hope this blog shows my progress over time, and I’m looking forward to learning more skills that will help me succeed in school and in my future career.
