Error Control

Our task was to further our knowledge about how a computer works. We started off by putting ourselves into groups then making a 7x7 grid out of small black and white cards. We then had to correct our mistakes by making sure all the blacks were even and all the whites were even, we did this by adding another row to the top and the side. Once we finished doing that we took turns in our group turning around, then another person changing one card and we had to figure out what the error was. After we did this we went online and played a short game where we did the exact same thing but individually. I enjoyed doing this task because it helped me understand the principals of Parity cards.

About 3 weeks ago miss sybe showed us the game stop disasters on WWW.stopdisaster.org. The aim of the game is to prevent a village of people from dying in a natural diaster, you can do this by building houses, building sand dunes, trees etc. When I first played the game stop diasters I killed over 200 people because I dint know any of the evacuation tac tics but I soon figured out how to save as many people as I could. The things I changed once I had played the game once over - I put more defences in by the water, Built more houses and hotels. I learnt the best way to protect the people was to build the houses on high ground and away from the trees
