Reflections on the doing of HTML

Through the HTML mini project i learnt not only facts about HTML and also the importance of teamwork when you are working with other people.During the process of the making of HTML i had fun typing in the weird codes.

In conclusion, I want to say that we should have the value call teamwork in our school value J-TIGERR. I really hope more of this kind of activities could take place as this may give us opportunities to understand our friends better.

When doing the HTML worksheets for week 3

Actually this is the first time i am dealing with HTML so my partner for this week is Jaron. We decided to do our HTML first then we compare and improve on both our HTML. This reason i did this way is because i think in this way both of us a chance to do on ourslves first then we compare this way we can get the best of both worlds.

During my first few attempts i did not success in posting the picture and the link but after a few tries i still cannot succeed in making the link and the picture to appear.

For the worksheet, I've learnt a lot of helpful things as the HTML can help me alot in terms of desining my blog and helping me ceate a webpage through the notepad.

Reflections

I think the forum was educational i really like the forum as it is like a platform to throw your opinions and shout what you think on it. Moreover we can also see how other people think differently from which will also give us a better understanding of other people, knowing how other people think is very important in our lifes. Ya so basically that's all i have to say for now BYE!

Review on lesson 2

During the second lesson, mr cheong gave us an assisgment which is to discuss in the forum. This made me watch the video called 'Blog or Website?' I have learnt something very important from the video which is no matter what we are doing be it a blog or a website we MUST have perseverance and we must also work hard to make our blog or website successful. I also learnt how to create a ning account and participate in the forum.

Reflection on the first day of infocomm studies

Today's the first lesson on Infocomm Studies (IS). It was a bit quick as we were late for twenty minutes. SORRY MR. CHEONG! So we'll try our best not to be late the next time. Although the lesson was fast we were still able to learn what Mr. Cheong want us to know as the lessons are all posted online hence we are able to read them.
I learnt quite a bit of things from the slide shows Mr. Cheong had prepared for us.
I learnt that Internet was created to allow scientist at different locations to share information and it was created by Pentagon's Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). We learnt that back in the past people use dial-up connection which is slow but inexpensive however people now uses Digital suscriber line (DSL), cable telephone Internet services (CATV), cable modem, fixed wireless, and satellite modems that are high-speed connection. In this lesson it also taught me that there are more than three web browser like opera and netscape as previously I thought there were only 3 which are internet explorer, safari and mozilla.
The slide shows also taught some of the basic things like 'What is a home page?' 'What is downloading?' ' What are links?' etc.
That's only half of the lesson, for the other half we learnt some more advanced stuff like the 9 basic types of web sites, the defination of a hit, animation, thumbnail, audio, virtual reality etc. sounds confusing right that's why I made a post up there called 'Some new things I learnt in detail' to show the things that are new to me.
Lastly the lesson concluded with NETIQUETTE which Mr. Cheong told us a golden rule: Treat others as you would like them to treat you.
That's my first day of IS see ya!
