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 four main content pages are going to be school, family, extra-curriculars, and sports. I chose these because it will allow me to have a lot of content on my website. I can also use these to give my website some better aspects and pizzazz." I am going to use colors, fonts, and links to make this website different and creative.

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

I really enjoyed the coding activity. It was fun to learn about that because I haven't ever experienced that. I learned a lot, but I would like to learn much more coding and how it works. This would be cool and very useful throughout life. Hopefully we get to learn more of it later on in the semester.

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

Over my three day weekend, I mostly did homework. Friday to Saturday  I went camping out in Missouri. Saturday morning I went spelunking and explored a few caves near the state park where I camped. After that I drove home and went to Sweet Tomatoes with my brother and dad. Sunday, I went to Sunday school where I help teach. Afterwards, the rest of my day was filled up with homework. On Monday I went to Harvester's for the school volunteer opportunity. Then I went and got Oklahoma Joe's for the workers at my dad's office because they had a busy schedule. Then I came home, finished the rest of my homework, and went to bed.

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 do agree with the statement that you should be able to use the image; however, you have to give proper credit to the photo and whomever posted it. Some people may not want their photo being used and just want others to see it, but because things on the internet spread so quickly, you cannot control who uses it.

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.

I know that plagiarism is copying something of someone else's whether it is words, music, art, or ideas. On the internet people often try to plagiarize to get credit for something they did not do or use it on something of their own. Often times it is because it is not cited correctly, or cited at all; however, other times they do not cite it on purpose for other reasons. Plagiarism plays into web design directly because someone can copy something from a web site to their own and call it theirs. Without citing it they are plagiarizing someone else's work and taking it to be their own. It may be a game, image, or style. The internet is the easiest way to plagiarize because it is one of the, if not, biggest database and information can be accessed very quickly. With computers in front of us during web design, we must be aware of it and learn how not to plagiarize. 


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

I know very little about web design. My brother knows a lot and has taught me some but it's very minimal. I know how webpages work and can use the Internet well but cannot create webpages myself.
