One of my strengths that I have had today is being able to think of communication barriers

One of my weaknesses that I have had today is not be able to think of a weakness, I cannot think of anything that I have struggled at.

Aim: Identify different types of communication devices and explain how they help access the Internet. 
Objectives: Identify different devices used for accessing the Internet Work well in a pair and proactively research then discuss your findings 
Aim: Identify specific communication devices and explain their role within Internet access.
Objectives: Identify 5 different devices needed for Internet access Explain how a device functions within a network Create a presentation for the given area and present your findings to the class

Today one of my strengths has been researching the relevant information that I have needed to make my part of the presentation and also to complete the rest of my work.

One of my weaknesses has been not knowing quite what I was going to say for my presentation I will need to work on my skills for presenting.

What I have learnt today is how switches work and how other devices work together to make a network and to connect to the internet.

I think that I have worked well today on my assignments I have managed to complete P3 and I have been able to do some work on my D1 work. The presentation went well but I could have spoke slower and with more detail and confidence.
