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 think that this teacher's blog post is very accurate and inspiring. He is trying to say that the main event of school is more than just getting good grades, it's about the friends and teachers you interact with, it's about the lessons you learn, and it's about the memories you make. Also, he is saying that teachers really do care about their students, whether or not they act like it. They see you everyday of the week, they've seen you on your worst school days and your best school days. They know what it's like to be a kid and they are there to help you. School may not be easy, but the whole experience is definitely worth it.

3 day weekend... how was it? Give me a good story or something funny that happened this weekend. Go.
This weekend went by really fast. On Friday night, I ate breakfast for dinner and watched The Breakfast Club because I had never seen it before. On Saturday, I did yoga and then I helped my sisters get ready for prom. On Sunday, I went to church and celebrated my aunt's birthday at Jalapenos. On Monday, I watched 24, which is an old crime series, for a long time, then I played a soccer game. After that, I went to piano.

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 agree with this because I feel like people should realize that once you put something on the internet, you can't get it back. I that some images posted on social media can negatively affect your job and life, but you that person shouldn't have gotten themselves into a bad situation. I think it's a live-and-learn type of thing.

Reflect on your resume website. What would you do differently? What do you wish you would have known? How do you think yours compares to the other classmates?
I really enjoyed creating and designing my resume website. I liked how we could customize it however we wanted to, like the font, color, and background. Looking back, I wish I would have known the colors and font I wanted because I changed them a lot of times before I was satisfied and it took quite a bit of time. I would make the titles more creative if i were to change anything. After looking at my classmates' resume websites I feel like mine was very organized and creative.

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 that I have learned in web design is coding. I had no idea what coding was at the start of this class, but now I realize how much it takes to create a website and have more appreciation for web designers. Coding allows you to create your own website that represents who you are and what you're passionate about. Coding has already allowed people to create thousands of websites, some of which we use daily.

Define 'User Experience'. What does it mean and how does it relate to web design? Explain yourself.
User experience is the experience that the person has while operating or using a certain program/website on their computer. Poor computer programs or websites give their users bad experiences because they don't how to use or operate it and therefore cannot accomplish what they need to get done. User experience relates to web design because if a website is very scattered and unorganized, the users will have a bad experience because they won't know what to do or where to go. Also, if you make the color too loud or choose a font that is really hard to read, users will most likely have a bad experience. The picture below shows the many things that web designers must keep in mind in order to have a successful design.

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 created by a person either looking for employment or wanting to share their skills, knowledge, achievements, previous work, etc. They are designed so that anyone interested in hiring you can learn more about you and if you are qualified to do what they need. Resume websites can be created for almost any profession and they are very easy to personalize. The picture below is an example of a resume website and the link below it is another resume website that I think has a good layout

If you were the Principal for a week at BVHS, what would that look like? What changes would you make? Why?
If I were principal for a week, I would make every day late arrival. Also, I would add an ice cream sundae bar to the cafeteria. Also, I would have a pajama day.

I would want all of my classes to be related to science because I want to be a doctor. I would want the class size to be smaller and more hands-on. I would study medicine. Also, I think that everyone should have to take a public speaking class because everyone struggles with it. Also, I think everyone should have to take a fun class doing something that they enjoy.

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.
I think that the color of your webpage is very important because color triggers certain emotions for everyone, so it's important that your color affects people positively. A color scheme is a group of colors that you use for whatever you are creating or designing. Personally, I like the color blue because it makes me feel more calm.

I think that I would get more out of this class if I focused harder on less work because when you have less tasks, you can fully apply yourself. This quote means that quality should mean more than quantity. This would work for me because I like focusing solely on one task, rather than multiple tasks.

What is a website wireframe? Explain. If you don't know what it is, look it up. Find an image online to place on your blog that represents a website wireframe and how they work.
A website wireframe is a visual guide that shows the skeletal framework of a website. A website wireframe is usually created in order to inform readers, rather than entertain. A wireframe doesn't usually contain much color or style. The picture below is an example of a website wireframe.

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.
The most frustrating part about HTML code is that everything has to be exact in order for it to work. It would be easier to understand if there weren't so many types of codes to remember. I think that I understand how to do it all, but if I go too fast then I start making mistakes.

This weekend I wasn't very busy so I slept in on Sunday and Monday. On Friday, my dad wanted to try indoor go-kart racing so my family did that, and it was actually fun.

On Monday, I watched movies and went to my piano lesson.

So far, web design has been informative because I didn't know anything about coding before this class. Now, I know how the basics of coding and how to type in code. Codecademy has been really helpful and beneficial for learning code. Also, I have never done anything related to blogging but now I have my own blog! I didn't know that there were so components of a blog.
