I have a massive topic for FBLA. I'm feeling so overwhelmed. What should I do?

My topic is Introduction to Information Technology

What is FBLA?
What project have to do?
Can you start with an outline?
Then go to the library/online and find sources of info?
Then figure out what your goals are…what do you want people to know about IT?

Do you have an adviser you can ask?

I think FBLA stands for Future Business Leaders of America.

Is this part of a class? We can’t help you with your homework, but your teachers and advisers can. Go to the library and look up “information technology.” Are you supposed to explain what it is? Advances? Challenges? Look for those key words. Ask your librarian for help if you get stuck.

Good luck.

Hey there! Last year, I competed in Intro to Business Comm as a freshman and ended up qualifying for nationals, and I’d love to help.

All FBLA tests are an hour long with 100 multiple choice questions.

On the FBLA website, http://www.fbla-pbl.org/competitive-event/introduction-to-information-technology/, it says that you will be tested on your knowledge in…
Computer Hardware

Computer Software

Operating Systems

Common Program Functions

Spreadsheets

Presentation Software

Networking Concepts
Email and Electronic Communication

Internet Use

Which can be really overwhelming because that’s pretty vague.

I would suggest reading books and countless of articles about those topics. Take notes on those books/articles. Try to truly understand the concepts. For vocab, search your topic up on Quizlet; I’m sure there will be plenty to look at.

Maybe as a baseline, take an online practice test. Score yourself, figure out your mistakes, read more articles and memorize more vocabulary, and then take another practice test to see if you’ve improved. Learn from your mistakes and repeat until you feel 100% ready.

Good luck, and I hope you make it to nationals! :slight_smile:
