Introduction to Computers and Business
In unit one we started out with some more basic concepts. We worked hard and needed to demonstrate our understandings of terms that go along with communications, with the computer workstation environment, learned how to manage files, discovered options or accessing the Internet, and applied research technique. Another thing we looked at is the code of ethics that goes along with all Internet use but especially business.

Code of Ethics The Code of ethics assignment was one of the first we did to start the Business 10 course. It showed us ethical behaviour vs. unethical behaviour and how to make ethical and well thought out business decisions. It showed us examples of ethical decisions and how to know if a decision is ethical or not. I was a helpful and important lesson to do at the start of the year because we used what we learned the entire year.

Ergonomics The ergonomics assignment was one that we did near the start of the first unit. In this course and in general people append a lot of time at a computer. The ergonomics assignment taught us how to be as healthy as we can be while sitting at a computer. It also showed us the prices of the items that we think would be the best for us. We were not only supposed to be comfortable and healthy, but it also showed us how to be as efficient as we could. We had to make sure we had a efficient workplace because efficiency is key in business.

The entrepreneur PowerPoint project was to show us a previous entrepreneur that was successful. In mine I looked at the inventor of the snow blower, Arthur Sicard. The project showed us good and bad moves to make and why they didn’t work out. Most of all though, it focused on the entrepreneur’s successes and why their business did so well for them. Most of the time it was because they saw something their community needed and gave them that need at a price.
