Assessment 3

During the semester of 201260, I was enrolled into MPI104. In this subject I learnt how to take advantage of the features offered by Google. Sign up and maintain a flickr account, blogger page, del.ici.ous page. This was all foreign to me but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Maintaining these pages were what I had to do for assignment 1. My topic for blogger was day to day life- everyday I would take a photo and describe it on my blog. For flickr I decided to share images that were close to me, ranging from my cars to my travels. With delicious I added sites that I used regularly.

For my 2nd assignment we were shown how to build a webpage from scratch. I found this very challenging but rewarding at the same time. I can say that I have built one and that I have a huge amount of respect for web designers and people in the IT field.

For our last assignments we had to maintain our pages with what ever relevant information. I continued my blogger topic, but with my flickr I uploaded photos that were relevant to this subject/ my assignments.

Throughout this semester I have learnt thru practice and reinforcement how to do something then apply it to different situations.

This subject has shown me how to do things, that I can later introduce to future students. This just widens my knowledge which gives me more power as a person and a teacher.

For my website I decided to do what I'm passionate about. A lot of people don't understand why I do it but I still consider it fun. My site is about my cars; my current restoration project and my other projects. I made several pages with images and links of photos that I took, also of images that have influenced me.

My Index page introduces me as a person and says something about my back ground, then my current project page shows what I'm working on, my  other page is about what other projects I have. And then I have influential images, because in my mind its easy to see what the cars are going to turn out like, but for others its easier to show them an image rather than explain it.

I have learnt a lot from this experience, ranging from image size and location to the precise nature of code. I am most proud about this assignment for the fact that for not knowing anything about coding or IT, I have managed to produce a working website. What annoys me most out of this experience is not knowing exact codes, I know what I want to do, I just don't know how to do it! But with everything practice does make it easier. I'm looking forward to using my knowledge later on to show kids how easy it is, all you need is patience and perseverance; a very important life lesson.
