Tell me about your All About Me site. What are going to be your 4 main content pages? Why did you choose those topics? What big plans do you have for your site that is going to make it different and creative?

My All About Me site's 4 main pages are Early Life, Family, Favorites and Friends. I chose these partially because I believe that they will help people to better understand me, but also because they are the most important things in my life. (excluding Early Life) My site is going to be more colorful this time and include plenty of pictures so that what I'm talking about has something to go with it.

What are your thoughts on HTML code? Did you enjoy the coding activity? Do you feel like you learned anything? Explain yourself.

I actually really enjoyed the HTML activity. I had never done anything with HTML, and I liked it more than I thought I would. The hardest part for me was probably linking a website. I think that with more practice though, it will get easier. I'm glad that it challenged me though, because a lot of times, computer classes are seen as "easy A's" and even though I'd like to get an A, I'd also like to learn things and challenge myself.

Tell me about your three day weekend. How was it? What did you do? Elaborate!

On Saturday, both of my parents were off work and so we all just relaxed and spent some quality time together. It was really nice since my family is always on the go. That night I went our to dinner for one of my friend's birthday. Sunday, Dad made pancakes before going to work and then Mom and I went to Taylor's futsol game. Taylor is my younger sister. Yesterday I slept in and then went to get my shoes for sweetheart. And then yesterday afternoon I remembered that I had to go to a girl's basketball game at Truman High and I had done no homework. So I did it on the van and when I got home last night. Last night was kind of a long night. But the three day weekend was great and I got some much needed sleep.

Tell me if you agree with this statement and then explain why or why not. "Images on the Internet are 'free game' - if someone posted it, I should be able to use it."

It's fine to use photos that you find on the Internet, but you need to recognize the original owner. Often times, people's photos are used in other places without being recognized at all and that is unfair to them. People put pictures of things that they are proud of on the Internet and the should get the recognition, no matter what. It isn't difficult to refer to the original owner of a photo, so there shouldn't be any reason that people can't do that. Most of the time, people either don't know how to cite a photo or are unaware that they need to. Original owners and artists should definitely receive credit for their photos.

What do you know about plagiarism? What do you know about plagiarism on the internet?How do web design, the internet and plagiarism all effect each other?Explain

Plagiarism is when you copy something and don't give credit to where it came from. It is important to acknowledge the original creator or owner so that you don't plagiarize anything. With web design, you are typically using things that you find on the internet (pictures, videos, etc.) and it is important to indicate the original location of the media or text.

Web design, plagiarism  and the internet all effect each other because plagiarism happens pretty often on the internet, especially on personal websites

What do you already know about web design? How it works? Programs you can use? Tools that exist? Anything.


I know a tiny little bit about HTML, because we just learned about it. I also know that there is a way to have your website be pulled up with certain key words on a search engine. There are also a lot of platforms for people to express themselves on Internet, for example, Blogger. I don't know a lot about the programs used, but isn't that the reason I'm in this class?
