Been a while since I've posted a blog...

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.

The teacher is trying to say that the learning and the academics of school are not the true reason that school prepares you for real life, sure they are important, but they aren't the true focus of school. The real reason you come to school is to learn the social skills, the problem solving, and get the education that will truly help you out later in life. Here you learn not to give up, how to deal with other people, and manage your work all at the same time. This teacher also believes that no matter what, you should never give up. In this world, there are no places for quitters

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

The weekend was great, Since I technically got a four-day weekend due to the all-day tennis tournament on Friday that Blue Valley swept, receiving four gold medals for all four of the brackets. So after that strong start my family and I headed down to the lake of the Ozarks to relax for a day or two, whilst there we played cards and watched some movies. Once we returned I got a day off to sit around and be lazy while everyone else worked to keep the world spinning.

Reflect on your resume website.

After seeing the rest of my class's blogs there are a few things that I would change about my own resume. For one I would've liked to have had pictures on my website, however once creating what I did I realized that pictures wouldn't suit what I had created. They just wouldn't fit with the grand scheme that I had going. So if there was one thing that I would change about my website, it would probably be that.

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 this year is how to style html on css to make it look decent. This can help out in the future because if I ever have to make a website I will be able to use  css to make it much better.

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

User experience is the feelings and reactions people have when using a product or service. As a website designer it should be a goal to create the best possible user experience for your website visitors. You want to leave a lasting impression on people so that they remember your website and things about it.

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 a website that displays people accomplishments and what they are doing along with information and skills that they have. They use these websites to display their skills and accomplishments in a more elaborate way than the usual paper resumes. You can add color and your own unique style to a website which is a lot harder to do on a regular old resume.

Here is a website that has tons of examples of resume websites

What are you doing for Spring Break?

Over Spring Break I plan on relaxing at the lake of the Ozarks with my family. Maybe at some point we'll play some tennis together to pass the time. I also will be taking drivers ed for part of the break.
