Read THIS blog post by a teacher. I mean actually read it. Take it in. Think about it. And then, write about it. What do you think about it? What is the teacher trying to say? In your own words explain what "the main event" is.

I am going to have to disagree that academics are not the reason we come to school otherwise we wouldn't have letter grades and GPA, ACT, and SAT because that is what gets you into college remembering locker combinations isn't going to get you into college.  getting into college is basically your whole rest of your life if you don't get into college you most likely wont get a good job. The person writing this thinks the "main event" of school is to over come challenges which i mean you learn this but it is not the purpose.

Do you agree or disagree with this statement. Elaborate on why you agree of disagree.

If images are on the internet they should be "free game".

Yes, I agree with this statement because if it is on the internet everybody can see it anyway so i don't know why everybody cant just use it.  the only down fault is that somebody can steel it and make money from it.

Reflect on your resume website.

I would have done a couple things differently than I did like maybe write a little more on each section and maybe made my borders smaller so there's not as much open space.  I also would have liked to use my time more wiser so I wouldn't be so rushed at the end. I wish I would have known to judge the website from chrome and not dream weaver because they look different. Compared to others I think my website was pretty good, it was a lot more organized and more planned out than other people in my class. I turned out to really like my website and thought it ended really well .

Define 'User Experience'. What does it mean and how does it relate to web design? Explain yourself.

User Experience is the overall experience of a person using a product such as a website or computer application, especially in terms of how easy or pleasing it is to use. This relates to web design because we are learning to create websites. just like the definition says how easy and pleasing it is to use, creating websites is becoming a lot easier and more pleasing now that i know more on how to do it and i'm not just stumped on the websites like i was on our first couple.

What is a resume website? What do people put on resume websites. Spend about 5-10 minutes looking up resume websites and what they are used for. Explain what you find. Include an image of a resume website if possible.

A resume website can be a huge advantage to get into college.  It shows stuff about you like your education, volunteering you've done, work experience. this is a picture of someones resume website.  he talks about himself.

I think kids these days spend to much time in front of screens.  They are always using a smartphone, iPad, video games, sitting in front of a TV, etc.  back in my time we would go outside and just run around but apparently kids now a days cant do that.  Instead if texting we would actually go over and talk to the person.

What do you find the most confusing and frustrating part of web design and HTML code so far? What would make it easier? What don't you understand? What do you understand? Explain yourself

I think the most confusing part about web design is remembering all of the tags because there  is so many to remember.  i understand it pretty well. but I think that if we had a sheet with all the tags to help us remember the codes that would make life a lot easier.

What are your thoughts on this class so far? Easy? Hard? Informative? Frustrating? What have you learned so far? What do you want to learn? Explain yourself.

I think this class is pretty easy so far but I think it will start to harden.  but when it starts to get harder (if it does) i think it will be more fun and a good challenge.  I think this class is pretty informative but a bit frustrating because of all the coding.  in this class I have learned to code in code academy i am also learning how to set up a blog because i have never had a blog.   I am excited to see what this class has in store for us.

Read this small newspaper clipping and then write a blog post about it. What are your thoughts? How does it make you feel? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.

I would have to disagree with this article because I think kids/ teenagers should enjoy their childhoods and have fun.   I think its fair if us kids do some chores around the house but I believe that you should have more time for fun, hanging out with friends, doing stuff you enjoy.   I personally would hate a life like this I Couldn't handle all the chores and studying stated in this article.  I think this would be an unfair life for teenagers.
