The Cost of Free

-
When I hear the title, The Cost of Free, I get the idea that there is a downside to some things being free. This means that there are drawbacks to using free products or apps. I would explain The Cost of Free to someone I just met in 60 seconds by being general about free things. I would say something like using free apps may have the benefit of being free but don't keep your privacy safe within its margins. An app that takes personal information and is paid would be most likely more trustworthy then a free app that wants you to input personal information. I would install a free app to see if it has a privacy or data policy of any kind. If it did then it would be ok to trust. If not, then it wouldn't be secure enough for others to trust. Since in this case I'm not using an app, but instead a website, I'll use google for example. The website's main page looks fairly simple when it comes to styling. It has a white background but has many features to it which makes it good. Since google is free to use, it may have a cost to others but I think that it is safe. This is because of the privacy policy that is stated within the website.

How would you know that a privacy policy that is stated from a website is legit and not fake?
How is the data managed from within an app or website?

I would like to know how data can be received from the input of other users directly.
To find this out I would like to meet a company of a website and learn from them how it works.

I would use google a lot because it is a very resourceful website. It has everything you would ever need to ask. Google is just the answer to everything.

WBL Workshop #6 Interview Skills

-
          WBL Workshop #6 was about testing our interviewing skills. First thing that happened was us entering the room without knowing that we were going to be interviewed. So as a student you could say some of us were surprised about it. There were different people interviewing students that took place during this workshop. Students were set at different "stations" of people who would interview you. I was a little confused at first about what the interview would be about and what job we were actually being interviewed for to represent a mock interview. Then I realized that a perfect job for the situation would be something revolving around being a web designer. When it was my turn to be interviewed I wasn't nervous because I had some pre-answers in my head for obvious answers.               During the interview I kept looking toward the top right, for no apparent reason. I feel like I should have been looking at the employe...

CTE Expo Reflection Journal

     The objective of the CTE EXPO was to engage the freshmen into seeing what the Web Design Academy was made of and what were the benefits of joining. It was also to make their interests peak as they could be exposed to these special skills.  To prepare for the CTE EXPO I just ran through looking for my best business attire I possibly had because I knew how important this event was, During the actual event I grabbed freshmen attention by saying, "hello are you interested in learning more about the visual design part of the CTE academy?" I used that line pretty much all the time to get the attention of the freshmen who looked lost or confused. I think what went well was that most of the freshmen, all the ones I met with, had an interest in the subject because of the amount of questions they asked and how detailed their questions were. For next year's CTE EXPO it would be best to realign the table structure because the poster boards of the visual design class were in...

Lab #12 Reflection

-
This lab was fun to learn but a little difficult at first. If you were learning adobe illustrator for the first time and had to do something with it, you would have a lot of trouble if you weren't reading the tutorials or listening to them. At first for me personally it was a little hard trying to figure out what to do. I go to the lab pretty much every day on my free period. Lunch personally is boring for me. Let's get back on topic. I took my time to read the tutorial for adobe illustrator again and absorb what I read. I did the extra reading to scan what I needed to complete the lab and what skills were needed to complete it. Though I wish I can post my work here, I really can't due to the fact it is saved in a pdf file. At first the file was in an .ai file but since I had to submit it in for a grade it was transferred into a pdf file for viewing purposes. It was something we learned from reviewing adobe illustrator. Adobe illustrator wasn't that hard to learn. The b...
