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 is colorful, fun, and organized. The four main content pages are labeled family, friends, activities, and favorites. I chose these topics because I believe these topics will do an adequate job of describing me. I still do not have a big plan for what is going to make my site stand out, but I am working on it.

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

HTML code is different from anything than I have ever worked with. It is similar to learning a foreign language; therefore, it takes practice to really get the hang of it. The coding activity really wasn't that exciting and required extreme attention to detail, but I did learn a lot from it. I learned different vocabulary for HTML and got exposed to the fundamental aspects of the code.

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

Friday: After getting out at noon, I decided to take a nap. Then I went to my dads house to spend the weekend with him. Later that night I watched "Fun with Dick and Jane" with Abby.
Saturday: I slept in until noon. I played an indoor soccer game in Lenexa at 3:30. My sisters and I went over to our cousins house and sorted through family photos. I had Minsky's pizza (Canadian bacon and pineapple) for dinner. Then, I played another indoor soccer game in Blue Springs at 11:00.
Sunday: I went to church with family and had lunch at Panera. Next, my family and I went to Leawood Park and played tennis. For the rest of the day, I watched football.
Monday: I played yet another indoor soccer game at 10:00 in Blue Springs. I spent the rest of the day doing homework.

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.

I agree with this statement. People should be aware that once they post an image online it is there forever. They should also know that what they post can be used by anybody; therefore, when someone posts an image they should consider the consequences if it were to be seen by someone like an employer or your parents.

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.

 Yes, I know about plagiarism. Plagiarism is the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own. Plagiarism on the internet is very easy to do; all you have to do is copy and paste. Advances have led to websites that can detect plagiarism, such as turnitin.com. For my AP United States History Class and my AP English class students have to turn in papers to turnitin.com to ensure that there is no plagiarism. Web design affects the plagiarism because people can take information from websites and try to pass that information as their own.

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

I do not know much about web design. It is a good thing that I am in this class! I just learned a little bit about HTML codes; well all I did was delete it. In middle school I took a computer class where I created a website; however, I do not remember anything about it. I might have used a program before, but without my knowledge of doing so.
