Journal Entry One

In class last week, we discussed the policy surrounding the computers, how to troubleshoot one if needed and how to create a Google account. When discussing the computer policy Mr. Carter placed us in groups to create a skit about one of the polices, my group worked quite well together, we did not have very many issues. Creating the Google accounts was a whole different story, a good portion of the class had difficulties with creating Google accounts and plenty of the computers we used needed to have a troubleshooting sheet filled out.  I haven't encountered many of the problems that the others have, for example, my friend's Google account wouldn't send him the code via text message, it just wouldn't work. I gave him my number to use instead, to see if the code would send, it did. Something I found interesting during these classes would be some of the computer polices and troubleshooting the computers, many of the polices were ones i haven't heard of, like where we must only use the email provided by the school for assignments and such. It's a minor thing but it can cause many problems apparently. Overall, my experiences with the computers went much better than I expected.
