Windows Event Log is a component of Microsoft's Windows NT line of operating systems that lets administrators and users view the event logs on a local or remote machine. Windows Event Logging is the process of writing applications' events into that centrolized log storage.

Since this is homework I'm assuming you just want the basic idea of it. If your program encounters a serious error, you write it to the Windows event log so you can keep a record and look at it later to figure out what went wrong. Look it up on MSDN or Wikipedia

When you send log messages to the Windows Event Logger. You can see the messages by going to the Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer.
