Today was my first day working on my first practicum. I was really nervous about going cause I didn't know what to expect. My practicum is at Lifetime Learning Center in Mission BC, which is basically a learning school for adults and different meetings are held there.
I started the job by meeting a few people then talking to David for a bit about what I may be working on. My first task "Totally un IT related) was to remove/carry out boxes from David's car and into the room that he mainly works in. Believe me that was pretty tough with there only being me unloading the boxes and with there me so many boxes and them being pretty heavy. I was then introduced to some of the co-workers around Lifetime Learning Offices.
After I was assigned an IT related task of having to work on David's desktop computer a Windows XP OS. I had to figure out how to get Audacity working on his computer again, for some reason stopped working and was corrupted. I uninstalled the program and then reinstalled it and I was able to get it working again. I was then put up to the task of having to sort through some audio files and then convert them to a WAV file so that they would be compatible for Audacity to be able to open it and play it. I had to edit the sound files so I would be able to hear what was going on. The first one I was able to be able to hear fairly quickly but the next 4 were very hard to understand in fact you couldn't understand it at all because they were just a static sound the whole time.
I was able to get in a good 6 hours done on my first day of the job. Tomorrow I am hoping that I can get these files working through a different program; Camtasia using my own laptop. I am quite familiar with Camtasia and I think that I will be able to Succeed!
Thanks for taking the time to read this,
Sincerely,
