What do you think about it? What is the teacher trying to say? In your own words explain what "the main event" is.

I love this post, i love hearing what teachers think about school and hearing their perspective on what they think school is. I have had some problems in my life and i had always kept them close to me, but after reading this i know i can lean on other people when i need to.

I think what the teacher is trying to say is that even though school may get difficult, socially, our teachers are here for us. I think that the main event is the social factor, yes there is academic work to complete and schedules to keep to, but the main event of school is the social stress and how to overcome it.

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

During the weekend, Sunday, i went to an FCKC game with my friend and her family which is the equivalent to Sporting Kansas City for women. We lost, but going to Sporting Park was fun.

My mom and my brother, Alec, were away in St. Louis for a soccer tournament so my dad and my other brother, Sean, stayed home and we didn't eat one healthy meal during the whole weekend. My dad isn't the best at cooking so we went out to dinner almost every night.

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".

No, i don't agree with this statement. Mostly because if someone were to take a picture themselves, i.e. a landscape photo or a portrait, then the photographer should have the rights to the photo. The same goes for digital images, like this:

Now, i do think that there can be exceptions, like if the picture were to be used for educational use then the student/teacher can use it all they want. But if someone were to sell the picture, and i was the photographer, then i'd want the proceeds.

Reflect on your resume website

     I think i did very well, compared to the other blogs i saw i think mine was one of the more put together. I think i had a more clean look and overall better website. I think my color scheme was a more cohesive choice than most others and i think it was a more calmer choice.

     I wish i would have remembered to put buttons on my site that maybe liked up to a picture or maybe my blog, and overall had more pictures of my family and myself. 

     I think i would have changed my overall look of the site because my neighbor and i have almost the same color scheme and theme. I think i would've changed the layout,  and maybe add a column or something interesting like 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 I've learned about web design is how much effort it takes to put a picture in the right spot, and how to make a website look like a website, if that makes sense. I think it's cool because i see on television website building infomercials, and now that i know how to build one from scratch i just feel so "techy".

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

Before i looked it up: I think "User Experience" means what the computer user feels/experiences during their time on a website. 

After i looked it up: "User Experience (UX) involves a person's behaviors, attitudes, and emotions about using a particular product, system or service." According to Wikipedia this is what User Experience means.

 

I think it relates to web design in the way of how we create our websites and how we give the web site  tone, which then in turn, gives the user a specific experience.

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 is, basically, a virtual resume-it tells about that person and what they're good at. People put their strengths in the field that they work in, example, a web designer would put whether they're good at coding or animating or designing. 

This is a logo from a website that helps you build your own website.
I found out that most people will put their strengths and achievements at the beginning of their website and slightly drop in their weaknesses throughout the page.
