It is a written document to put forward a device you wish to make a device page (I'll clarify as we move on).

For a better look, check out My Proposal.]]> 2022-03-22 19:31:08 UTC https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2108270938 asadahmedw https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2108274505 This was my first assignment and it was pretty fun because it encouraged me to be more concise when proposing my device. 

The things that were challenging with this assignment is determining which information is relevant/irrelevant and using straightforward language. Although these issues seem simple, it was hard for me to solve them but thanks to the feedback I've received, I made it better. 

Some of the steps I did was to: 

    - Change the words I was using (i.e swap 'therefore' for 'this allows') 
    - Put more meaningful details in my sentences to stop myself from writing more than what's needed
 - Proofreading my work.   ]]> 2022-03-22 19:33:35 UTC https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2108274505 asadahmedw https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2108306795 The Fast Fix Project is a project from iFixit that includes multiple activities:

1. Create an SEO Proposal
2. Device Page
3. Repair Guide 

This project was about finding devices that interest you and providing meaningful information for the world or at least people on iFixit to see. 

This will definitely be useful to people because oftentimes, there are devices that don't have much information on them on the internet and this project allows us to enlighten people on whatever questions or key facts they need.]]> 2022-03-22 19:56:01 UTC https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2108306795 asadahmedw https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2108363004 Hello, my name is Asad and I am a student at York University studying Information Technology (IT). I enjoy immersing myself in the technological world whether it's dealing with hardware/software or learning about the various programming languages (i.e. Java). My favorite hobbies are playing video games, and basketball because when spending long hours doing what you love whether it’s making a program or spending some time playing a great game (i.e Call of Duty: Modern Warfare), it’s important to stay active by exercising daily. The purpose of my ePortfolio is to reflect on my journey and provide meaningful information on what I did/learned. With that said, I’m excited to present my portfolio so that I can amplify my writing/technical skills and reflect on my work. Thank you!

A device page is a page that gives an in-depth analysis of a device.

After my SEO Proposal was approved, now it was time to do what I intended. Please take a look at My Device Page.]]> 2022-04-08 21:20:14 UTC https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2136932899 asadahmedw https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2136942544 What I did on this page was to:

1.  Provide a general overview (i.e name, and features that distinguish it).

2. Mention any background information along with its identification.
    - What it's used for
    - Special features (i.e speed settings)

3.   Give more detail on its technical specifications (i.e weight, battery type, etc).

4. List some helpful sources for the reader to gain a better idea of the device.]]> 2022-04-08 21:34:53 UTC https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2136942544 asadahmedw https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2137610146 2022-04-09 20:51:35 UTC https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2137610146 asadahmedw https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2137610627 2022-04-09 20:52:42 UTC https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2137610627 asadahmedw https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2137610968 2022-04-09 20:53:30 UTC https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2137610968 asadahmedw https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2137612132 2022-04-09 20:56:06 UTC https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2137612132 asadahmedw https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2137613290 The device page was definitely a lot easier than the proposal because all I had to do was research the device I proposed and paste the information onto my page. Although this sounds simple, it took a while to complete because of the challenges I faced. 

On the other hand, it was a great learning opportunity because it allowed me to enhance my research skills to locate, organize, and present the information. Going forward, I hope to build on these skills!]]> 2022-04-09 20:58:59 UTC https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2137613290 asadahmedw https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2137618388 What is a Repair Guide?

It is simply a walkthrough to repair a certain device.

Now that I've gotten the hang of making a proposal, I was required to do the same for this assignment. However, I wasn't making a proposal for a device page, but rather for a device, I wish to make a repair guide out of.

Please take a look at My Repair Guide.]]> 2022-04-09 21:11:27 UTC https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2137618388 asadahmedw https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2137623774 Before I started my repair guide I needed to do 3 things first:

1.  With my proposal, I needed to state my method of repair.
2. List any tools needed for the repair process.
3. And like my first assignment, explain why repair guide is necessary for this device.

After the approval of my proposal, all I needed to do now is:

1. Paste the steps of my method to repair and tools.
2. Take and post pictures of myself doing the repair.
3. Send my completed repair guide to iFixit for review.]]> 2022-04-09 21:23:36 UTC https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2137623774 asadahmedw https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2137624393 2022-04-09 21:24:57 UTC https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2137624393 asadahmedw https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2137627958 2022-04-09 21:33:28 UTC https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2137627958 asadahmedw https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2137628377 2022-04-09 21:34:33 UTC https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2137628377 asadahmedw https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2137628887 2022-04-09 21:35:41 UTC https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2137628887 asadahmedw https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2137639821 This was the final assignment of the Fast Fix Project.  Since this was the end of the project, I felt that it was an opportunity for me to apply what I've learned such as:

    - Always asking for feedback
    - Making sure to read instructions carefully
    - Concise language; elimination of 'hype' words (adjectives)

What I enjoyed the most about this was the fact that the challenges I faced with other assignments were no longer an issue when doing my repair guide.. This acted as reassurance for me because I knew that I would complete my guide easily. With that, I had an amazing time taking part in this project and I hope to take what I've learned and apply them in the future. ]]> 2022-04-09 22:02:08 UTC https://padlet.com/asadahmedw/bhdhyjcusonwcsx5/wish/2137639821
