To tell you the truth, I am really hoping to make my own website from scratch...either using Notepad or Dreamweaver. This is because of the website above. Although it only told us what to do and hardly explained, by doing it, I wanted to learn more. The task was pretty straightforward and I was amused that the website didn't tell us the reasons behind typing. Then after doing all my work, the website said to save it as a html file. When there was no such option on my computer, I got really frustrated. Had I done all this work for no reason? But after a lot of trying I finally found out another way. I could simply type .html in the document file and save it as a text document. Because of my curiosity, I looked for another website on Google. I found a really helpful one which taught me how to format text and a wide range of things. I am still practicing from that website: http://www.goodellgroup.com/tutorial/review2.html

To me i do think that this was very enjoyable task .i found this task very enjoyable due to the fact that it was a step by step procure which led me through a clear pathway .Using this software it helped me as an individual learn the difficult terminologies in terms of web design and using this it may help various individuals learn new terminology's about web design.

Flashcard Activity:
I found it fun creating flashcards using quizlet as it was a very easy way of helping and letting others view the new terminologies. At first I thought that we could only put the definitions which the site gave us but as I went forth, I learnt that we could put our own definitions also. If I get a chance to make a flashcard again, I rather use my own definitions since they are shorter and easy to understand.
HTML Activity:
I made my html code using text edit. I saved it just as a normal document and got stuck on how to use it with the web. Then in class, with the help of Saumya, I saved the document as a web file and then it worked.

Reflection for creating the Quizlet set
I already knew from before how to use Quizlet so this task was really easy. I didn’t have to create an account or anything. To make life even easier all I did was copy and pasted the terminologies from my Skydrive. So after logging in I only took like 5 minutes to create the flash card. Here is the link of my set:

HTML Reflection
I found this activity very confusing as i still don't get the concept of doing it on notepad and how the content of making the html is formatted. But i must say i was completely confused, then i got help from a friend and it apparently appeared very simple and i was the one complicating it. But i still need to try it out a couple of times so as to get used to it and to prevent me from having to look at a website with instructions every time i want to make one.

QUIZZLET Reflection

during this process i didn't even know what description i had to put in so but since i decided the quizlet was going to be on math humanities then after i type dthe description, i didn't like it so i changed it to become math then after doing the same thing it didn't please me. eventually i ended up doing science and it was perfect until i ask and i'm told that it was about tech terms then i had to start again. but it wasn't hard as i used my research to make it again but the title is on science and so is the description i just don't know how to change it but i will later on. what i would do differently is not on tech terms and something.

FLASH CARD ACTIVITY-;
I thought that this activity was easy and i really enjoyed it. it was pretty straight forward and i was able to finish in no time.
HTML ACTIVITY-;
I thought that this activity was pretty unclear because the website only gave general knowledge rather than focusing on the other details like how to save it like a HTML document. it took me long to do this activity until Shivam Vyas explained to me how to go about the activity and i learned a lot and he was really patient with how i did not get it at first but after been showed for the third time i got the hang of it and was able to finish this work. thanks Shivam!!!

HTML REFLECTION
The activity we did today in class was awesome because of the fact that it was a step by step procedure. It made me understand the importance of reading instructions carefully and i got to learn a whole lot about the evolution of web design.

This was a really fun and interesting task. I learnt about many things that i have always been eager to learn about. It was interesting learning about HTML coding. I couldn't believe the things we are able to do with the internet. The flash card making was also fun. I now have found a new and easier way to practice my work. These flash are helpful. All in all it was a very fun and enjoyable experience.

FLASH CARDS REFLECTION.

HTML Reflection
I really found this a 50-50 task as I got confused on the HTML code part otherwise everything was a piece of cake!
FLASHCARDS REFLECTIONS
This task is the easiest task I have ever done in CT because all the information was given and we just had t use them on the flashcards

Unknown said...

well, the first task which was the HTML task was realy difficult for me even though they showed the steps in using mac it was still difficult because the website would not open so therfore i had to use a windows computer in order to complete this task.
The flash card task was not as difficult than the HTML because there were websites provided in order to give me the website terminologies that i needed for the flash cards and the format in which quizlet is made is very neat and understanable for the user creating the flashcards.

Html reflection
In this activity, at first I was confused on what to do and asked help from some of my colleagues. I never knew how to do this before, so this task helped me to make my own html code and may help in the future whilst making my own websites for my business. Next time, I should read the instructions more carefully.

Flashcards reflection
This was a very fun activity and made me learn something that will be useful for me in the future. Usually when I used to do research in getting definitions, I usually used to get flashcards like the ones I made. But since I learn’t how to make my own, this has been a great achievement for me. Next time, I should be quicker at doing this task as I learn’t it was very easy from my experience.

HTML reflection

I found this part of the activity very interesting and confusing. It was interesting because this was the first time I ever did an activity relating to the computer coding language. The computer coding language was very unique but did not make sense since we didn’t know the meaning of the codes. The task was a little confusing as I did not know how to run the HTML in my browser. But later, Saumya helped me out! Overall, it was a different experience and I enjoyed it a lot.
FLASH CARDS reflection

This activity was very fun and straightforward and I enjoyed it a lot. I faced no challenges while doing the activity and finished it in a very short time. We had make flashcards with words on it and the definition of the word. This was the first time I ever made flashcards on the internet and learnt a lot. I didn’t even think, there were software to make flashcards. I enjoyed the all of the investigation activities and I am very sure they will help me when making my own website.

HTML REFLECTION.

This task was just amazing....It was a great challenge at first and took me some time to figure it out and understand what it was all about and i came to find new and better and easier ways of doing it.... i also managed to try out my own and it came out nicely( fortunately)i also opened several other blogs through just using the code alone and it felt nice, as if a was some new kind of Google...... i would thank the people who i stole some of their ideas (saumya)i really appreciate the suggestion of links that you posted coz they links really helped me to get what the notepad and HTML thing was all about.

here is a new link that explains the meaning of the code for those who did not understand it well: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_intro.asp

QUIZLET REFLECTION.

This task was really fun... maybe easy. i liked the fact that i already had the terminologies so all i had to do was copy -paste. took not more than three minutes of my life and it really counted.

Flashcards Activity:
The flashcards activity was just interesting it showed me another way to learn languages and was really easy and so much fun. Firstly I just got confused and I just did not know what to do, but then I went back to the blog I opened the site and I read carefully at the end I finished it.

HTML Activity:
I will just say the truth the HTML activity was just confusing I just not know what to write in the notepad I had no idea of what to do especially when it came to the part where I have to keep it on the internet, it was just so hard.
