Read this small newspaper clipping and then write a blog post about it. What are your thoughts? How does it make you feel? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.

I completely agree with the blog post. The world does not owe you anything, and neither does anyone in it. Your fun and future aren't going to be made for you, if you want something, you need to get up and do it yourself; it wont be done for you. The world isn't easy and if you refuse to do anything for yourself, then get used to having a life that goes nowhere.

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 believe that any picture posted on the internet is available for public use. Anything posted onto the internet is spread, posted and can be found by anyone. If you don't want the picture to be used, you simply shouldn't post it. Copyright on an image can only stop so much use of the image. Pictures posted on Facebook can have the privacy setting changed, which keeps people from using anything you've posted.  The image I posted is an original piece posted by Jeff Gogue that can be found on his website.

Tell me a little bit about yourself and your life here at BVHS. What activities or clubs are you involved in? What year are you in school? What is your favorite class and/or teacher so far this year? What are you looking forward to this school year? Include some original photos from your phone if you can.

I'm not involved in any clubs or activities at Blue Valley, I work two jobs so I don't have the time outside of school. I'm an apprenticed tattoo artist and body piercer, which I'll be going into after I graduate. I love going to concerts with my friends and my boyfriend. I'm a senior this year. My favorite class is Government with Barikmo, he's a fun teacher and makes the class really simple. I'm not looking forward to much for this school year apart from graduation and the privileges that seniors get.

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 I started taking web design, I didn't really have an idea of what Web Design was going to be like, I just knew it was a technology/business credit and that I would be working with computers. I had no idea how to use HTML Web coding, or what made up a web page document. Right now in this class, I've learned how to make a blog, and how to use HTML coding to create links, headings, body sections and everything else that makes the basic structures of a web page. Web pages work by using HTML coding, they give you the ability to create a heading in any size font you'd like, they allow you to place images, and create links to those images or other pages on the internet. They also give you the ability to change font style or color, and I believe all of those are very important things to know in the future since out world is quickly turning all technology based.
