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.



Alright, this paragraph does have a bit of truth to it, however, I do not agree with it. I think teens should be able to do what they want- as long as they are getting good grades and are polite. My father always says "Right now, school is your job," And I agree, our grades determine our futures. I also agree that all teens should have chores and such, but maybe just not quitye too much so they will have times to themselves.

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 disagree with this statement, I have posted my own photographs and drawings onto the internet, but that doesn't mean I want other people to use them. Personally, I am okay with others using my art as long as they credit me and don't claim it as their own. But that might not be the case with other people, I know several people who absolutely hate it when someone else uses their art. So no, I do not think images on Google, or anywhere, are 'free game'.

     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.


     Web Design is about the literal make-up of the Internet. I know a little bit about it because I took this class last year, and have been learning to code for almost three years now. Web pages use a different "language", most websites use HTML, or Java. The different entries of text define the website's outside look, I think of it as like the muscle of the web, it holds it all together and you need to practice to achieve the level of an advanced coder.
