Why is it important to communicate your ideas clearly verbally or in written form?

Why are Problem-Solving and Critical Thinking valued skills as Web Designers? Being a Web designer takes a lot of  Problem-Solving and Critical Thinking valued skills. You will learn that you need to watch your time wisely, never leave anything for the last minute, and always have a lot of patience. Because we are web designers we need to always take our time with code. It's just something you can't rush out because a tiny mistake of a misspelling can ruin the code. However being a web designer gives you a lot of skills that you can gain. Critical thinking helps you solve problems that you’ve stuck on and also help you with finding new ways to be more efficient in your coding and decrease the amount of total code you’ll have to write. And this is one skill that you need to posse in order to be successful in anything that you do or is trying to accomplish. 

How can you show professionalism in school? Professionalism is clearly needed in everything that you do, including school, work, or even in family situations. Professionalism is when you do a good job and do more than what is expected of you. How you can show professionalism in school is by doing your job as a student and focus on your education. This means that you have to arrive on time (to school and your periods), do any assignment or homework on time too, ask questions to show your participation in class and that you are understanding the material. As well as  not irritate the class with undesirable talking, speaking without being called or talking to your peers while the teacher is talking. You need to always be ahead of time. Never leave any work for the last minute cause everything has a deadline and requires the best from you. As you can see showing professionalism at school could be hard and is something that is already expected from you but if you show more of what yo...

The CTE Expo is a yearly event that I've been part of in my three years of being in Web Design. This year was my last year doing and it has been the best one so far. I got the chance for the last time to talk to freshman students about the great opportunity in joining the Web Design Academy. At first, I was a little shy, but that's just me in every event when I have to explain individuals my work and the work of my other peers but then I started to loosen up and to my surprise, I got to talk to great female students that were interesting in joining. They asked me a lot of personal questions about my own experience in the web design academy and I felt like I connected with a lot of them. As my last year doing this event I felt the need to contribute more of myself and recruit more girls to be interested in coding. Not many girls join this academy and only a few make pass the interview but hopefully with all my effort, next year web design academy would be full of more gi...

Lab 43 was the 30th video to the whole Javascript30 series and what I have to do for this one was to create a website that would serve the purpose of playing a game. What I basically did was follow the video and did a game of "Whack-A-Mole" and just changed the avatar. My game was called "Whack-A-Poop" and I added a Poop emoji. This has had to be one of my favorite labs yet and I love that I got a chance to created a game. Overall, this lab was fair and gave us enough practice. I learned a lot of the javaScript30 series video and it made my knowledge of  Html, CSS, JavaScript, And jQuery expand a little more. I had a lot of fun creating this lab even though I encounter some problems, I manage to fix them and learn from my mistakes. I hope I get to do this types of labs more often because they are really fun to make.

Lab 42 was the 29th video to the whole Javascript30 series and we have to create a site that included a timer that we would have to set depending on the seconds, like either 10, 20, 25 seconds and the timer would start. My favorite about this lab was able to customize it the way I wanted and getting it to work because at first I was confused by the video and then I had something broken in my JavaScript that It was hard for the timer to work. This was a  fun and interesting lab to do because is very interactive and it depends on the user to set off or on the timer. Overall, this lab was fair and gave us enough practice. I learned a lot of the javaScript30 series video and it made my knowledge of  Html, CSS, JavaScript, And jQuery expand a little more. I had a lot of fun creating this lab even though I encounter some problems, I manage to fix them and learn from my mistakes. I hope to do this type of lab again in the future and make it better.

Lab 41 was the 28th video to the whole Javascript30 series was about Javascript allowing us to create a site that would include a video that had a button where you can drag up to speed up the video or drag it down to make the length of the video slower. I didn't quite understand the point of this lab. I had quick some issues doing it but I manage thanks to the help of my peers. However, I was surprised because my video got to work somehow. My favorite was being able to add a gradient and mix two colors that would got from one to another. Overall, this lab was fair and gave us enough practice. I learned a lot of the javaScript30 series video and it made my knowledge of  Html, CSS, JavaScript, And jQuery expand a little more. I had a lot of fun creating this lab even though I encounter some problems, I manage to fix them and learn from my mistakes. I hope to never do this type of lab again and move on.
