The teacher is saying that grades aren't the only thing that matter in school its that you need to be responsible for yourself and not skip class, don't be disrespectful to teachers that are only trying to help you with your future. Teachers actually care about you and thats not just about your learning they care about you and what you are doing with your life.

3 day weekend... how was it? Give me a good story or something funny that happened this weekend. Go.

The weekend was really fun this weekend. I hung out with friends all weekend and on Saturday night we went for a drive but not any old drive. We went to town center blasting Christmas music and everyone was looking at us and we were just laughing so hard the whole time. We also played fifa as always which is always fun.

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".

I think if you put it on the internet then you are giving consent for other people to look at it and use it. So I agree with that statement because anyone can find it because the internet  is a vast place the everything is on.

Reflect on your resume website. 

What I could have done differently. I could have moved the text to the center instead of all the way to the left to right. I also could have had more information on my website and maybe some more pictures. How did I do compared to other people. I think I was somewhere in the middle of the class because there was some people that didn't do a lot but other excelled and had amazing website with good colors. On that note I had good colors that was easy to read and I got note that people liked that so I did well on that.  What do i wish have known when I started? I wish I knew how to do some of the other people that had good websites did.

What's the coolest thing you've learned in Web Design so far? Why is it so cool and how can it help you in the future?

The coolest thing we have learned in probably CSS because you can totally customize a website to your own thing. This can help me in the future because when I need to make a resume website like we are in class right now I can do that. It also helps with Html.

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

User experience is what they need, what they value, their abilities, and also their limitations about the job they are applying for. People use a series of 7 things that help: useful, usable, desirable, valuable, findable, accessible, credible. Usefulness is can you do this job as well as usable. Desirable is do they want you for this job. Findable is contact information and can they find you when needed. Accessible means is it easy to manage. Credible is do you have references for you.

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 is when people make a website about who they are and what their skills are to turn into a person that runs a business to try and get a job. You put their names what they do for a living and where they live and special skills and what they know for this job. It will also have a picture of them on it and contact information so people can hire them. This is just a simple resume while the link was a very one that got your attention.

Resume here that was good

If you were the Principal for a week at BVHS, what would that look like? What changes would you make? Why?

If I was the Principal I would allow rap battles in school during passing period and have assemblies like we do now. I would also be very nice to all students but stern when I have to. i would be very fired up at all things and be basically Mr. Bacon.

The perfect curriculum would be actually skills you use in life such as people skills and stuff you use in every job so working alone, working in a group and stuff much like this. We need to know how to taxes because we need that skill but do we really need to know how to graph and prolaba.

Color can convey a lot of emotion when it comes to designing anything from a product to a website to an advertisement to a logo and so much more. What do you think the importance of colors on a website are? What is a color scheme and why is it important to have when designing? Explain any thoughts you might have around color in design.

Colors are important for emotion because its displays who you are on the inside and how you actually are. A color scheme is a board of colors that go together that you use on you website or project.

Think about the quote above. What does this mean to you? How could this apply to your life? How could this apply to your school work (especially Web Design!)? I would love to give you less work in class if it meant you were going to focus harder on the work. Do you think you would get more out of it? Would that work for you? Why or why not?

I think that would help because if you focus on one thing rather than other things then you will get one of better in one thing. If I only focused on only math i would have a A+ but then my other classes grades would go down. I think it would work for me because i would know more about one thing.

Tell me all about your Sweetheart weekend (even if you sat at home on the couch!). Include photos!

My sweetheart weekend was fun because of many reasons. One is i got to hang with friends and play a lot of Fifa 15 which is always fun. Another reason is only one of my friends went to homecoming and he said we couldnt come to his afterparty but since we are such good friends we showed up anyway and since he didnt think we were coming he just came home and we were already there and we came out one by one and he was so confused and it was so funny.

If I were a kid in in 70's and 80's complaining about people from today i would say "why do all these kids have so much technology. IPhone that look like toast what is that I had a block that didnt leave the wire. I also didnt have all these cars on the road it was quiet rare to own a car per person back in my day. How are they ever bored because if i have all of this i would never be bored".

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.

             This class is a little bit of both because the coding can get kind of confusing and get hard at times. But it also isn't that hard because except for the coding everything else is pretty easy. It class is informative also because you can learn how to work computers better and it will help you in the future if you do stuff with the computer. I have learned how to code pictures and text into the computer and also we made a blog for everyday we walk in.

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 think that this statement is somewhat true because the world doesn't owe you anything but there is some stuff in this article that doesn't make very much sense such as build a raft. And kids want to have fun and none of the stuff said in this article is fun and thats why kids aren't doing these things.
