Lab #7 Simple Accordion

-

Lab #7 was titled "Simple Accordion". Basically, within this lab, I had created 10 questions based on a subject of choice. The subject I chose was AP Computer Science Principles. Within this lab, I had implemented my 10 questions on a webpage and then put the answers hidden in the document. Then, using jQuery I created a feature where if you hover over the question, it will reveal the corresponding answer, which would then go away if you move your mouse to another question, revealing that identical answer.  In the screenshot above, you can see that I am hovering over the question, "What is a bit?" and the answer is revealed under it which states, "A bit is a single unit of information in a computer, typically represented as a 0 or 1".

In the HTML part of the document, I had created one <dl> tag which holds all of the questions and answers. The <dt> tags nested within this tag held all of the questions while the <dd> tags held the answers. I added a class to all of the <dd> tags to add the visual effect of making it unhidden once you've hovered over the question corresponding to it. The jQuery effect consisted of mousing over an <dt> element to reveal the <dd> element while creating a slide visual to emphasize the animation.

Web designers would want to know how to do this if they want to store answers to questions on a webpage. For example, a question page with answers could be a FAQ page which users can go to in case they need help or they are asking a common question that you already have the answer for. Knowing how to do this will allow for them to use unique animations in making their webpage eye-catching and also stand out from the rest of similar questions and answer pages.

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...
