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.

I agree with this article. It is very common for teenagers to not be aware of the world around them and for them to feel as though the world revolves around them. They sit at home and wait for something to come to them when they should be out doing something for the world. We are all growing up and becoming adults so it's time for us to start acting like adults. I do disagree with the part about us not having fun. I do think as teenagers we should be allowed to go out and have some fun, but when the time comes for us to be responsible, get a job, go to school, and work hard we should do so. I agree to disagree with this passage. Teenagers no to learn to do more for society and be more responsible, but at the same time we should be allowed to have our fun.

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 somewhat agree with this statement. I believe that if someone posted a picture on the internet and did not make any rules against the usage of the image with out paying(like on websites like shuttershock)  then you should be allowed to use the picture. I also believe that if you use a picture someone else posted then you should give credit to the person who posted the picture. You cannot just take an image and give no credit. I don't feel like that is okay.

Tell me a little bit about yourself and your life here at BVHS. What activities or clubs are you involved in? What year are you in school? What is your favorite class and/or teacher so far this year? What are you looking forward to this school year? Include some original photos from your phone if you can.

I am a junior this year at BVHS. I am involved in the JSU (Jewish Student Union), the NSHS (National Spanish Honors Society), and I am the Junior Chair for Relay For Life with Adam Houghtan. I am also on the Varsity Track and Field team. My main event is Triple Jump. The past two years at school I played soccer and volleyball, but I did not have time for those this year. My favorite classes so far this year are Anatomy and Physics because I love science. I guess my favorite teacher is Mrs. Scheurman... <3 I am really looking forward to school sports and being able to attend the games. I'm also excited to be able to spend more time with my friends during the day.

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.

As of right now, I know Web Design will be based on using HTML code and CSS to creating a working webpage. I now know a little bit about how to write code, but not much. Before I came into this class, I did not know anything about web pages or what we would be doing in this class. All I know about webpages is that HTML code is used to insert text, images, headings and links. I also know you can use HTML to chose text font, size and color. I still do not know much about web pages, but I am excited to learn about them in this class!
