Reflection Journal: Lab#13 Wordle

 

  

Lab 13 was about creating a wordle of my favorite teacher. A wordle is word clouds. To make a wordle, I typed in many words that describe my favorite teacher. in the text box. Then, the wordle is created. After I created one, I chose the layout of the wordle.  The layout of the wordle can be the font, color and alignment of the text. Last, I put the screenshot of the wordle into the html document for this lab as well as the html document for the project 3.

 

By completing this lab, I learned what wordle is and how to make it. In the future, I can create a wordle and put it into my website. 

 

 



Reflection Journal: Lab#12 CSS

Lab#12 was about making CSS and applying it to my entire lab folder. CSS or cascading style sheet is used to define styles of texts, background colors and other elements in a HTML document. In order to make CSS, I used Adobe Dreamweaver. Then I typed a html element such as "h1". Next, I used curly brackets to define the style of the element and then I changed the text color of the heading and the background color of the labindex page.

By completing this lab, I learned about CSS and how it is used in a web page. This lab is relevant to web design because web designers can use CSS to make their website colorful and fancy. In the future, I can use CSS to improve my website.

Reflection Journal: The Field Trip to Queensborough Community College

On December 17, 2014, I went to the trip to Queensborough Community College. It was the first trip for our class. We learned about the school and different kinds buildings in the campus. When we visited the technology department of the school, we learned about 3D printers.

First, we went to room for one of the technology class in the school. In this room, the Professor discussed different kinds of technology class such as telecommunication, electronics, computers, internet and information technology. Professor Lawrence talked about 3D printer. He showed us videos of how 3D printer is used in modern life. I learned that a 3D printer uses metals or plastics to print something. Also, I learned that 3D printer is used to create parts for an airplane. He then demonstrated us how 3D printer works. First, something that a person want to print is made in the software. Then it is saved and scanned in order to be printed. Lastly, the item is printed out.
After the workshop about 3D printer, we visited different technology classrooms. I learned what is done in these classrooms. Then, we walked around the campus to see different types of buildings in the school. After this, we visited the Holocaust center. In the Holocaust center, I learned how harsh and tragic the Holocaust was.

The trip helped me to understand what college is like. It also encouraged me to think more about going to college. I learned that how useful 3D printer is in our life from the workshop by Professor Lawrence. I was also impressed by things that are printed by a 3D printer.

Reflection Journal: Project 3

The project#3 was about creating a website about my favorite teacher. My favorite teacher is Mr.Anthony who teaches me U.S. History. My goal for this project was to thank Mr. Anthony.

First, I made four pages. They are biography page, fun facts page, impact page and wordle page.

Then I made buttons that link to each page in the website. I used the flag for the United States because for the buttons because he teaches U.S. History and they are rollover images. By applying CSS to every webpages, the background color and font are kept consistent. In the biography page, I included Mr. Anthony's life. In the impact page, I put how Mr. Anthony has influenced my life. In the fun facts page, there are some interesting facts about Mr. Anthony.  

I learned how to make a website using CSS and rollover images. By using rollover images, I learned how to make this website a little more interactive. This project is relevant in Web Design because it helps me to create a website that includes different things such as rollover images and CSS. In the future, I can use the techniques for this project when I need to make a creative website using rollover images and CSS.
