“Creating a Personal Finance Database using Microsoft Access: A Step-by-Step Guide”
For this assignment, let’s create a database called “OurFinance” using Microsoft Access. This database will focus on managing personal finances. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. **Create a New Database**: Open Microsoft Access and create a new Blank Database. Name it “OurFinance”.
2. **Create Tables**: Create two tables: “Transactions” and “Categories”.
– **Transactions Table**: This table will store details of all financial transactions. Fields could include TransactionID (Primary Key), Date, Description, Amount, and CategoryID (Foreign Key).
– **Categories Table**: This table will store different categories of expenses or incomes. Fields could include CategoryID (Primary Key), CategoryName, and CategoryType (e.g., Expense or Income).
3. **Fill-in the Tables**: Populate the tables with sample data. In the Transactions table, you could include rows for various expenses and incomes, along with their corresponding categories in the Categories table.
4. **Build Relationships**: Establish a relationship between the Transactions table and the Categories table based on the CategoryID field. This ensures referential integrity, meaning each transaction must correspond to a valid category.
5. **Create a Query and Report**: Create a query to retrieve specific information from the database, such as total expenses for a certain period or income from a particular source. Then, generate a report to present this information in a readable format.
Now, let’s explain the importance of the concepts listed in the assignment:
– **Primary Key**: In our database, the Primary Key is the TransactionID in the Transactions table and the CategoryID in the Categories table. It uniquely identifies each record in the table and ensures that there are no duplicates.
– **Foreign Key**: The CategoryID in the Transactions table is a Foreign Key that establishes a link to the Categories table. It ensures referential integrity by enforcing that each transaction is associated with a valid category.
– **Data Dictionary**: A data dictionary documents the structure, organization, and usage of data within a database. It provides a comprehensive reference for understanding the database schema, including table names, field names, data types, and relationships. In our case, a data dictionary for “OurFinance” would describe the tables, fields, and their relationships.
– **Database Design**: Database design involves creating a structure that efficiently organizes and manages data. It includes decisions on table structure, relationships, data types, and constraints. A well-designed database like “OurFinance” ensures data integrity, reduces redundancy, and facilitates efficient querying and reporting.
– **Normalization**: Normalization is the process of organizing data in a database to reduce redundancy and dependency. It involves breaking down larger tables into smaller, related tables and establishing relationships between them. Normalization reduces the risk of data anomalies and improves data integrity. In “OurFinance,” we’ve normalized the database by separating transactions and categories into distinct tables and establishing a relationship between them.
By understanding and implementing these concepts in our database design, we ensure that “OurFinance” is robust, efficient, and maintains data integrity, which is essential for managing personal finances effectively. -

“Uncovering Personal Histories: Exploring the Impact of Motherhood in 1950s America Through an Interview”
I already have my secondary souce which i will attach below. The paper is based on an interview I conducted which I have the notes on. The insturctions are as follows:
As part of this project, you will put that person’s story in historical context by identifying and incorporating a secondary source that provides historical information about one aspect of your interviewee’s life story. The goal of this assignment is to make evident the importance of individual stories and experiences in American history, which we get little of when we stay at such high altitude for much of this class. So really, I just want you to enjoy getting to know this person and their past a bit better. That is your primary objective.
After you conduct your interview, you should reflect on what you learned and think about if there is one particular aspect of this person’s life on which you could do further research. So, for example, if you talk to your grandma a lot about what it was like for her to raise three small children mostly on her own while your grandpa worked for wages, you might look further into motherhood in the 1950s United States. -

Title: Transforming Play-Based Activities with Digital Applications: Enhancing Creativity, Drama, Literacy, and Numeracy Skills in Early Childhood Education Title: “Creating Engaging and Developmentally Appropriate Experience Plans for Infants: A Guide for Parents and Caregivers”
Objective: Using selected apps to transform and redefine traditional play-based activities, enhancing creativity, drama, literacy, and numeracy skills with reference to the Australian Frameworks, semiotic systems, and principles from the Multimodal and Digital Technology.
Weighting: 60%
Length: 2500 words (Part A – 1000 words & Part B – 1500 words (experience plan))
Due: Week 10 Learning outcomes: 2 and 3
For this assessment you will need to:
PART A: Research and justify (using Guernsey’s Three C’s and SAMR framework)
Locate and research four (4) digital applications suitable for children aged 0-5.
One (1) App will support creativity;
one (1) App will support drama;
one (1) App will support language literacy;
One (1) App will support numeracy.
Guernsey’s Three C’s Analysis: for each application critique the app’s using Guernsey’s three C’s framework (Content, Context, and the individual Child) to justify your selection.
SAMR Evaluation: Using the SAMR model, classify each app (as either Substitution (S): The app acts as a direct substitute with no functional change; Augmentation (A): The app is a substitute with functional improvements; Modification (M): The app allows for the redesign of the task; Redefinition (R): The app introduces new tasks that were previously inconceivable) and justify the potential of each application in terms of how it might either enhance or transform learning experiences using credible research.
PART B: Developing two (2) Play-Based Experiences
From the applications you’ve identified in Part A, select two (2) apps to develop two (2) experience plans where the digital components of the app intertwine with the physical environment.
This experience should utilise technology not as a mere addition but as an enabler of richer multimodal interactions (SAMR). Both experience plans should be play-based experience (integrated experience of any learning areas- creativity, drama, language/literacy or numeracy).
Remember: The apps should not be game-based. Consider apps with immersive elements.
Example: If the app offers AR features, devise an activity where children use the app to overlay digital objects in real-world spaces, like the outdoor or indoor areas. If the app doesn’t have AR, consider how it might sync with tangible objects or toys. For instance, a music playing app like Specdrums MIX (Sphero Inc., nd) could be paired with physical items that resonate with similar sounds when interacted with, thereby creating a harmonious audio-physical experience.
Experience plan should include:
– Rationale & Goal: Begin by providing a rationale for the chosen experience. Clearly define the goal or objective you wish to achieve through this learning experience.
– Experience Outline: Detail an outline of the experience, providing step-by-step methods of implementation including transitions. Include clear teaching strategies.
– Connection to Australian Frameworks and curriculum: discuss how your experience links to relevant outcomes/descriptors from the EYLF and ACARA (foundation years).
– Semiotics in Learning: Discuss the various semiotic systems (modes- linguistic, visual, aural, gestural and spatial) of learning that the experience will allow children to explore. Discuss the different ways the experience lets children learn about signs and symbols (semiotic exploration). How do children understand the relationship between different icons, index and symbols through your experience. For example, when a child hears a bee buzzing (index), how do they relate that sound to the image(icon).
– Pedagogical Approach: Using the SAMR model, explain whether the digital components of your experience serve to enhance traditional methods or truly transform the learning experience. Use the TPACK framework to discuss the interplay between technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge.
Experience plan(x2) Presented using canva:
Utilise Canva to design your two (2) experience plans, ensuring they are visually appealing and easy to comprehend, for parents and caregivers. Within your layout include all areas of the experience plan including the rationale & goal, detailed outline of the experience, its alignment with the Australian Framework (EYLF) and curriculum (ACARA), insights into Semiotics in Learning, and the underlying Pedagogical Approach (TPACK).
