Tell me about your feelings about this class...




My feelings about this class have gone from thinking it was alright to thinking to was completely terrible back to it's alright. The class wasn't the worst class I've ever taken or actually even close to being the worst, it's not one of those classes you immediately regret taking when it's all over and done...but, I did think the tests were horrible, and some of the assignments were pointless. I'm glad I took this class because, now I know how to create webpages and since I don't really have and idea what I'm going to do after college this will probably be a helpful skill.

Blog about creating the home page for GFWC.  


Tell me what the GFWC does.

    They have already established 75 percent of the public libraries in the country. Developing kindergartens in the public schools, and even working for food and drug .

   They donate money for charities and colleges around the country.  


What are the qualifications and requirements to be a member?  
  Minimum requirements:  You must have two or three years completion of undergraduate coursework, there must also be a familiarity with archival principles, and excellent communication and writing skills.
    
    Preferred requirements: Graduate coursework in archives administration, library and information science, or public history. Familiarity with PastPerfect collections management software and working knowledge of best practices for digitization.


Explain the type of web site you would like to create and why this would be the best type for the GFWC of Elkins.
   I'd use a type of website they have for the national webpage I forget what the name of that would be, but I think that'd be the best choice for layout of the website.

Tell me about what you have learned in the assignments using Photoshop and while researching alternate ways to create websites?
             In Photoshop I learned how to alter text to make it look better than it would alone. Feathering to make it faded around a picture. I have only found one alternate way to create websites.


  What kinds of tools are available for web page designers and what kinds of tools do they use?
   Paint brush, feathering tool, text tool, eraser. They are mostly graphics tools, and editing tools for text and pictures.


  Do you have to be a professional or hire a professional in order to make a web page?
     You do not have to be a professional or even hire one to make a web page, if you have at least some experience with Dreamweaver or another program you should be fine.


  What does this tell you about the types of websites that are available for viewing and accuracy of information?  Are you surprised at what you have learned?
     It doesn't tell me much it just, says that some creaters of web pages may not be professionally trained. I'm not too surprised but I did think it would be extremely difficult to create websites.

November 19 Essential Question

What is Thanksgiving about to you and your family?  What are some traditions that you have in your family for Thanksgiving or other holidays?  Do you or other members of your family hunt during Thanksgiving week?  Tell me a little bit about your view on hunting.


Thanksgiving is about being with our family and giving thanks to the people who helped build this country. Traditions are me and my cousins breaking the wishbone. My stepdad hunts whenever he gets a chance, I am going to go when I get my hunting license. I don't see a problem with hunting because, if we didn't hunt before winter the animals would for one reason overrun us, and starve to death when there isn't enough food for a lot of deer or anything else you hunt, and as long as you do it for sport or food I do not see a problem with it. 

Tell me about a veteran or a current service member that you know or are related to.  Why is it important to honor veterans of our country?  Name at least one small way that youcan honor or thank a veteran or current service member. (Or maybe a way that you already did yesterday on Veteran's Day.)

My step uncle is going to be serving in a couple of months. It's important to honor the men & women who helped keep this country safe. On Veterans day, I went to a friends school and we went next the Veterans memorial next to Walgreens and sang to the Veteran's American songs.

Yay Buttons...not

While we were developing our game, I realized how difficult it was to code the buttons. The tutorials did help a lot with the navigation buttons though.  While we were designing our game we had an idea of how we could include buttons in our game and game demo. It was challenging finding the right layers for the buttons and the code, we got confused a lot during it.
