Go out and look up a what all goes on a resume website. What can you find? Include an example image if possible.

For a resume you need lots of information to get yourself across to what might be your future employer. You will need to give all your personal information like your name, phone number, and address. Next you will give your strengths. What are you good at? Then  you have to give your past jobs.

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

The user experience is how well the website is helpful to the user. For instance, I was on the Louis Vuitton website because I was buying a new bag, the website was very easy to use and navigate. Also the website is very fresh and modern which also has a cool effect.

Reflect on your learning this semester so far in this class. Think about the first day you walked in to this room until right now. What have you learned about Web Design? What have you learned beyond Web Design? Explain yourself.

I've learned a bunch of stuff. Like how to create a website with multiple tools. I have also learned how to use HTML and CSS. I think this information I'm getting from this class is important if I wanted to have a job designing websites and other web-based things.

I don't have any background with Photoshop. I don't really know what it is and if I was asked to explain it I couldn't. I just have never been in a computer class where they talked about Photoshop.

I still agree with the editor because she's right. This letter is rude and condescending and doesn't understand this point.  You have some good points, but as a teacher you wear some of the same cloths that the girl students wear.

The following article was in the September issue of The Tiger Print. Read the article (even if you already have) and respond to it below. What do you think? Do you agree? Disagree? Consider all perspectives of the article while you respond.

I agree because it is the choice of the girls at this school whether to dress the way that they do. It is 100% up to them, and the administration has no right to tell them what the should and shouldn't wear. At the same time some girls overstep their bounds. Meaning that some outfits can cause some people not to focus. But the girls shouldn't change.

For several weeks in this class, its turned out to be just like any class. The feeling is that this is just a class I have to get through for the semester. This class is okay as far as the people, my friends, in the class. I really am not interested in websites and stuff like that.

What is the importance of deadlines? How do high school deadlines reflect or simulate "real world" experience? Give an example of when you met or or didn't meet a deadline that was important.

Deadlines are important because it shows that you have to take responsibility for your actions and your work. Deadlines are just the exact same in the real world because if you have to have a project done for work and its not completed you're probably going to get fired. I have always met my deadlines except for this web design class which is pretty hard when you're asking your friends for help.

Reflect on this quote. Give an example of a time in your life that this might have been the case.

The car ride was not my favorite thing because the twins Bea, and Frake who are two years old were not having it. And the whole weekend was pretty stressful along with some fun! while we were there we also celebrated my grandpa's birthday!

Below is one of my favorite quotes that I found on Pinterest. Think read and think about what this says and then blog about it. What does this quote mean to you? Elaborate! Feel free to give an example of tell a story.

Well "i'm bored" is my favorite thing to say to someone I really don't want to talk to. But I definitely think that I shouldn't use it because its not a very good thing to say because it makes you sound fix-minded.

What are your thoughts? How does it make you feel? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.

I agree because it's very important for people to grow up to be responsible. It makes me feel like I need to start acting like a responsible person. Also if I start acting like a responsible person people will start treating me like an adult and give me more responsibility.

What do you know about Web Design right now? What did you know about Web Design before you walked in to this class? Tell me as much as you can about how web pages work. Try to use an example if possible.

Before this class I didn't know anything about how to code a blog, create a blog or even post on my blog. Now I know how to do all of those things and a little more. Web pages are very confusing and they are hard to understand, but as soon as I get the hang of it I'll let you know how to work them.
