Thanksgiving with Images

file://studfilesrvr-01.students.rpsdistrict.local/2017/Meghan.Daley/ECS%20website%20part%20lesson%20%236.html

This is my webpage. It contains many different things. It has titles, paragraphs, bolded words, and even images! The task of this webpage was change four images and add them to an html lesson. The first picture I changed was an image of a man. I changed the height of the image from 340 to 110 and cropped the sides. The second image I changed was a elephant. I also changed the height of this image to make it longer and cropped the sides. The third image I changed was a funky cat. I changed the width of the image and cropped the length. The last image I had was a picture of a vampire. I left the standard height and width but changed the size by cropping the unnecessary background.

Intro to HTML

I used the W3schools website that helped my create a webpage. I used the tutorial to help me understand how to create a webpage and guide me through using tags. After I completed the tutorial I started personalizing my webpage. Once finishing the tags I saved it and re-opened it to see my webpage.

HTML Quiz

The HTML quiz was very challenging for me. I got a 10/25 on the quiz which may look bad but is pretty good for not learning most of the material. The ones I got wrong the most were the tags. I did not know how to insert links to tags. As we continue on with this unit I would like to learn more tags and expand my knowledge on computer science.

Secret Message part two

I viewed other students blog posts and decoded their secret messages. At first it was hard figuring out which symbols the other students used but eventually I got the hang of it. I decoded three students secret messages. The first student I decoded was Ashley's message. Her message said "erasers life." The second student I decoded was Meghan's, and he hidden message was "Meghan loves summer." The last student I decoded was Mia's hidden message. Her message said "corn on the cob." This was a good interactive activity. It taught students how to code and decode binary numbers, but at the same time it was fun and engaging.

20 Qs

In class today my partner, Meghan, and I answered 20Q. It was a fun interactive activity using the computer. We picked a category and answered questions about the topic trying to make the computer guess what we were thinking. The first category we chose was movies and the computer guessed almost all of the correct! Next category we chose was characters/names. The computer had a very hard time with this and did not guess any of them correctly. I thought the computer game was fun and had the computer thinking as well as the students.

Observating Blogs

During my free time I viewed other students artwork. I really enjoyed doing this because every blog post was a little different. Some of the blogs I viewed had burst of color while others were monotone. All the blogs were similar because each one was very symmetrical.
