My first blog!

If this e-portfoilio looks in any way professional (or at least not terrible), part of the reason has got to be that I have had the opportunity to do this before for my BSYS 1000 course. Another assignment I’ve done for BSYS was to create a blog on how to do some feature in Microsoft Office. Mine was on using callouts in PowerPoint, and can be found here.

BSYS special lecture event

On October 2nd, I was lucky enough to attend a guest lecture at BCIT featuring four guest speakers (Jeff Balin, Rebecca Bowlitt, John Chow and Ivan Surijanovic). The speakers came from diverse backgrounds but there was a common theme of how someone differentiates themselves in the current business climate. Themes ranged from productivity and motivation to how to protect and market your image online, and from using WordPress to blog to using other online tools like GoogleDocs. It was an extremely informative (and dare I say fun, even though I had to get up early) forum, and I really hope BCIT does more of these type of guest lectures in the future.
