Lab #4 Reflection

Image
Brandon Wilson Lab #4 Reflection September 29, 2018 In this lab, we were expected to make a table and fill it with specific colors, their hex code and the hue for ones that we were assigned, as well as some of our own choosing. This lab was pretty simple because making a table isn't too complicated, and filling it with the right information wasn't really much to do. First things first, I created 4 headings. One with my name, one with the name of the class, one with the date, and one with the name of the lab along with the number. As you can see, this table has many different colors, their hex number and the hue. I'll explain step by step how I made this table the way it displays below. What I did first was create the table first. I used the <table> tag in order to start my table and ended it with a closing </table> tag. Just to make it big enough I did added an inline css style option with the width option within my table tag named "width:100%" w...

Lab #3 Reflection

Brandon Wilson Lab #3 Reflection September 27, 2018 In this lab, we were to do many things. I can assume you've noticed the two screenshots of my work space? One was for the code and the other was the display for it. This lab required us to make 3 text hyperlinks and 3 image hyperlinks that go to specific websites. These websites include, my blog on blogger, Mrs. Ramirez's website and w3schools. Specifically, we needed a gif for the blogger image, a png for the Mrs.Ramirez's website and a jpg for the w3schools website. A basic thing we had to do at the start was change the background color. Very simple, easy work is easy work. All I did was go into the heading and make a <style> tag and a closing </style> tag. Basically I'm throwing in some CSS into this, but it was what I learned from the long summer khan academy homework we were assigned. Anyways back to the task, I included the body as what I wanted to edit under the style tag, open brackets and used ...

Lab #2 Reflection

Brandon Wilson Lab #2 Reflection September 26, 2018 In this lab, we duplicated the code from lab #1 but instead we changed the lab number to lab #2, we changed to date to match the date we were working on this, which is 9/26/18 and we changed the "my first HTML document" to a new title which is "A little about ME!!!!". All the headings were kept to display general information. <h1> has the class, <h2> has the lab number, <h3> has the date, <h4> has the lab name and <h5> has my name. We did multiple things in this lab to change ti up. We changed the text in our <p> tag to describe a little about ourselves. Basically a copy and paste of our blog into we made on blogger :) . Lastly we took a quick selfie our ourselves, yes I know I look bad. Here's what we did to get it into our HTML. First we moved the picture of ourselves to our DD and put it in the same folder as our lab #2 html file. Now since our folder has both the pict...

Lab #1 Reflection

Image
Brandon Wilson Lab #1 Reflection September 25. 2018 In this lab, we created a basic HTML document using heading tags <h> and also a paragraph tag <p>. We had sets of information we put into each heading and specific information about how we did the lab in the paragraph. We used 5 different <h> tags (h1, h2, h3, h4 and h5). In the <h1> tag we put the class (digital design) and then closed it with an </h1> tag.  We then made a <h2> and put the lab number (lab #1) and we closed that with a </h2>. We dedicated the <h3> tag for the date and closed it with a </h3> tag. In our <h4> tag we put "by our full name". That was then closed by a </h4> tag. For our last heading we made an <h5> tag and put "My first HTML document", to indicate our first lab using HTML. This was closed with a </h5> tag. Lastly I made a paragraph tag, and wrote the steps of what I did to make this HTML document, which I j...

Power Skills - Synopsis

This course is preparing me for my future employment by teaching me what is the best way to act in a workplace to exceed the expectation of my employer. It is teaching me that you should show your employer you want to be at that job and you want to succeed. Employers tend to notice you if you have good communication skills, relaying information clearly to others, and it is one of the top rated skills in succeeding. They also teach us about teamwork and how working with one another will make us more successful in the workplace if we could work together with co-workers and achieve our goals. Also having connections personally will benefit you because you have no clue if it may be useful in the future. The classroom environment  can simulate a lot of these things and prepare us for the future.

WBL Workshop 1

Brandon WIlson 9/24/18 Web Design In this workshop, we discussed the fundamentals of why, what and where of WBL. We reviewed why we need WBL, which is mainly because it gives students the opportunity to learn skills in the classroom, with valuable hands-on work experiences. It is also a requirement to earn a CTE endorsement on your high school diploma.We also discussed the CTE graduation requirements which include CTE instruction, CFM, internships, workshops and events, CTE expo, industry certification, employ ability profile and service and volunteer. In addition the WBL requirements consist of a WBL application, discipline policy, confidentiality agreement, working papers, jupiter grades documentation, employ ability profile, reflections, forms, applications, and other requirements. We had also discussed where the WBL experiences would take place. Some places include, in-school workshops, events and guest speakers, job shadowing and training and internships.We also had a guest pr...

Blown to Bits Appendix

• It is interesting to think about the foresight (or luck?) that caused initial Internet designers to choose a packet-switched network as the basis for the Internet. What do you think, foresight or luck? I think it was foresight that allowed for initial internet designers to choose a packet-switched network as a basis for the internet. This is because they clearly stated that they needed to allow messages of unlimited size. Also they needed to ensure that the capacity of the network would be limited only by the amount of data traffic, rather than by the number of interconnected computers. Based on this, I can tell that this was foresight because the thoughts of the people around this time was focused on comparing it to a postal service, but making it better. According to that, I can assume that this was all planned out and they weren't waiting for luck to hit them. • What do you think the Internet would be like today if different companies’ network protocols were still competin...

HW What do FileZilla, CoreFTP & CyberDuck have in common?

   All three of these things are FTPs (file transfer protocol). It is a client program designed to transfer files between a client and a server on a computer network. Also they can all have clients that run on Windows and Amiga OS. In addition they can copy files over 2 GB. In differences however, FileZilla is a free software that is a cross platform FTP application that consists of both a FileZilla client and a FileZilla server. Core FTP is a secure FTP client for windows that was developed by CoreFTP.com. Cyberduck is an open source client, open for modifications, which is for FTP and also WebDAV, SFTP, OpenStack Swift and Amazon S3.

CE #2

    This article was about how people in Japan are developing an AI that can help to determine if an elderly person has dementia which is a group of thinking and social symptoms that interferes with daily functioning. This can be done by the AI asking specific questions, which is then responded to by the elderly, and then the AI does calculations to decided whether the person has dementia or not. It has a 90% accuracy in determining if someone has dementia but is also being further developed to become better. It is also said, if this avatar is fully developed, it could talk to elderly people at home to have daily conversations to notice early symptoms of dementia. Not only that, but it will encourage them to seek help ahead of time so they are in good care.      My opinion of this technology is that it is very advanced. An AI disguised as an avatar to talk to someone, sounds like a friend. Only this friend however, has the ability to ask you question...

CE #1

    This article was about the development of quantum computers and how the US, as well as other countries are working on them as well. A normal computer that uses bits of information like 0 and 1, while a quantum computer can use qubits to perform certain types of calculations very rapidly on vast amounts of data. The people internationally see these quantum computers useful for being able to help secure or break communication channels. Quantum computers in the future will able to run calculations that could never be run using conventional hardware. The quantum engineers being trained to use these computers will be the ones deciding its use for society.     In my opinion, I see these computers being used to do more complex things that we haven't ever been able to do on computers. When you think about what we are able to do now, there isn't much that comes to mind when you think about the advanced version of our everyday computer. People tell you, anything is possibl...

Blown to Bits Chapter 1

Koan 6: Nothing goes away - I agree that this is a truth because stored data is isolated and doesn't go anywhere unless someone deletes it. This truth may not always be a truth in some cases because of certain policies that would rid of some stored data. This koan intersects with my life as a student because all of the exams that I have taken (regions) are all stored as data and can be recalled by colleges to see it.

What does a CTE diploma mean to me?

    The difference between a region's and an advanced region's diploma is that a regents diploma is the given when the minimum requirements to graduate have been met in high school. " A high school diploma can expand career and education opportunities. Statistically, high school graduates earn more than students who have not graduated high school." An advanced region's diploma is more difficult to achieve and it recommended for students who plan to attend college right after high school. In short, having an advanced region's diploma shows that you did more then the minimum to graduate high school. Many colleges tend to prefer students with an advanced region's diploma. Having a CTE endorsement in either one of these diplomas acts as an addition to the diploma recognizing your skills in the industry your CTE track was about. In other words, it basically acknowledges that you are talented and employable in jobs relating to what you studied.      The requir...

Blog Intro

Hello. My name is Brandon Wilson from Information technology high school. I am currently in the eleventh grade and a junior of the CTE academy web design. I am interested in this field of study because I want to get a career in game development and in order to do that I need to understand the basics of programming which is offered to be taught in this academy. My hobbies lie in playing video games and watching anime. I plan to make my own gaming company that mixes the two together, anime games specifically. I also have an interest in visual novels which tell a story through a game and is interactive on the user going through it. I plan on becoming the game developer of the company I want to create and do the main coding behind it. That means this class is necessary  for me to do that. That's pretty much most of what I can say about my dreams and goals. Only time will tell if it comes true or not, but that won't stop me from trying.
