Critique

In website design this first part of the week we've been looking at websites and the design of them. Mike and I decided to team up and each do a site each. One of us had to choose the Brebeuf site well on the other hand someone has to critiqe a different site. I chose to critique the brebeuf site. I wrote about 3 paragraphs talking about the site like the credibility of the site, information, is it bias, and the website design of the site. Mike chose to write about cathedrial. I managed to finish the critique and handed it in. We will be getting the marks back shortly as Charelli is fast marker.

2nd Week 2nd Blog

This is my 2nd blog this second week of school. I'm going to start off talking about web design. Today we learned about html. We were going to work with this one program but it didn't work but at the end of class we found away around it and we'll be using it in the next few days so we worked with Adobe Dreamweaver

. This command makes it move a line down. We learned the general commands, the 6 different headings h1 to h6 also Physical Commands and inserting bulletts and images.

Today in programming we did a review on probably one of my better things in programming which is flow charts. Dom calls me the chart master because I always do the charts in group projects. A flow chart is way to organize your ideas and put them on paper kind of. It shows the general outlay of the program. We also talked about Methods today. We were re capping so much. I believe I understand methods better this time along compared to last time when we were working on them.

2nd Week

This is the second week of school and this is my 3rd post within the last two weeks. On Monday we did review of selection reptitions and else if statements. We were shown programs and given problems to do and complete them and submit them in the drop box. I finished them in class with Dom but I had problems with local varients. Since I do not have a computer or internet at my grandpa's house I have to rush and finish it in class asap. Today we did a recap of Oriented Program more known as OOP.


Website Design!!

In website design we handed in our charts for the school website. Dom and I got perfect on it what a way to start the class even though its just the beginning. I also got my mark back from the gant chart quiz and I got perfect. Right now we were assigned a group project to target an audiance and follow the steps needed to comeplete it like doing the charts and feasabilty. Dom and I are partners for it once again.

Second Blog

This is my 2nd blog for the week. In programming I'm starting to follow the online course a bit better. Ralph and I share a screen so we can watch and program at the same time while Mr. Charelli is teaching. Currently we are re capping things from which we learned in grade 11 to refresh our minds on c sharp. Such as doing math formulas and adding refrences like visual basic so you steal an input box from visual basic. On Thursday we talked about scroll bars and go numeric up and down. We also did a recap on things such as multiple forms and putting in a menu strip and entering and outputting data using strings. Today we had our first quiz for programming it was similar to last years test. We had to fill in the blanks and just make a radio gui looking no programming involved. I believe I did well in it. After the test we did a recap of mathmatical applications ike converting to int.32 or int.parse

Part 2.

Part 2 is about web design. The last few days we took some notes and case studies and did a lesson on gant charts but my program would not work on my computer so I couldn't practice it which was a disappointment (>_<). The next day we had a quiz for gant charts and Mr. Charelli gave me a quick lesson about the program and I managed to ace the quiz with a perfect. He then showed us smart draw and amd smart ideas. Dom and I failed hard with smartdraw so we went to smart ideas afterwards and everything looked cleaner and better. Were handing the chart in on monday so I'll post then.

1st Day of School

Today was the first day of school. I woke up early for once. I haven't woken up at 7 since driving school in the summer. My first class of day was programming. In programming we tryed setting up our all of our accounts and logging in online for the class. The class is being taught / broadcasted online to other students at different schoolboards. It's pretty cool. The repeating / echoing voice is kind of annoying though if you take the headset off because of the delay you hear everything twice. It's like when I play xbox when I hear myself talk. Mr.Charelli introduced us all the websites we should visit and how we have to Zip games and hand them in over online.

Ring... Ring.... there goes the bell and I'm in Mr. Charelli's class again for Web Design. The first month is suppose to be boring where we work in groups to complete tasks. Mr. Charelli introduced us to blog sites and his website where we can find test hints which are somewhat similar to the tests accordingly. We going be learning how to do templetes and designs and that later on in the course.
