Collect thoughts on video:

I would say that I kind of agree yet disagree on the point of this video. I completely understand people needing to put down their phones and electronics every once in a while, but we can't just completely disconnect ourselves. Now, in this day in age, the only thing we use to com,communicate is our cell phones.  So its a little different if someone left their phone at home because others may not know where they are. Whoever is looking for them, their first reaction is to call their phone and if they don't answer, it causes more problems. I also see how keeping our phones away can be a good thing. When people are altogether, they are always on their phones and its like they're not even really with each other. Overall, keeping you phone away can have a positive impact sometimes, while it can also have a negative one.

What is a 'splash page'? Look it up. Explain what they are and how they are used. Find an example of a splash page in Google Images. Save the image to you computer and then upload it to your blog post. Hint - see below.

A splash page is a picture that comes up when some sort of program is loading. They cover the entire screen. They are used to describe an introduction page on a website. They see this page before moving on to the main content of a website. They are also used to promote, companies or products. They are used to tell the web browser that the website is loading.

Status update! Tell me where you are at on your product website? Can you be finished by tomorrow at the end of the hour? Do you need more time? How much more time? Be honest and explain yourself.

I am at the part in my website where I have all of my pages established, but I don't have all of the content in every single page. I would most likely not be able to be finished at the end of the hour, and I need more time. I am a perfectionist, so I guess that that plays into the fact that I am behind and also that I was absent. I probably need a few more days, but I am planning on coming in before and after school to complete my website!

Welcome back! How was your Spring Break? Tell me all about it. You've been out of school for 10 days so I know you will have plenty to share. Make it good!

I had a great time over my spring break! For the first part of my spring break I was in Dallas, Texas.  I went with my Dad and my friend Alexis. We all spent a little too much time together that break, including the 8 hour car ride there. While in Texas, we went to Six Flags and did a whole lot of shopping!  Six Flags was a bust because it was all rainy the day we went and all of the rides were closed. But then, the next day, we did this skydiving simulator. It was basically 120 mph winds throwing you into the air. This was probably my favorite part of the vacation! Also when we went shopping, there were so many places to shop, I don't think I have ever shopped more in my life. My suitcase was about three times bigger coming home as opposed to when we were just leaving for Dallas. The rest of my break consisted of hanging out with all of my friends and I couldn't have had a better time. Overall, this spring break was awesome and probably the best one that I have had yet!

Do you like the layout of this project? Have you benefited from your brainstorming sheet? Was it more helpful or annoying when starting to map out your website? Explain why.

I actually really like the layout of this project. I feel like the brainstorming sheet really help me benefit. I would definitely say that it was more helpful than annoying when we started to map out the website. I feel like it helped me because we basically just made our website on paper. You don't have to keep brainstorming throughout the website, you just do it all at once in the beginning! You website is basically complete after you do the brainstorming because then all you have to do is actually create it, but you have guide the whole time.

After reading below to see where you should be on your product website - are you caught up? What helps you stay caught up in class? Do you like having small checkpoints? Are you behind? If so, what are you going to do to get caught up?

I am for the most part caught up on my website. I just have to make sure that my header and footer are just the way I want them because I feel like they aren't just right yet. I stay caught up in class by trying to work efficiently and getting my assignments done. I do like having small checkpoints because they help me know whats going on and if I have to fix anything. I don't think I am behind, but I think I have one small assignment missing from a day that I was gone, so I am going to complete it at home with the links I have at BV Business!

What idea do you have that is going to make you product website different, unique or unlike anyone else? If you're answer is you don't know - it's time to start THINKING. Explain your idea.

I feel like my website is already a little bit different from everyone else's website in a way. My inspiration was Vera Bradley because I like how many products they have. They have handbags all the way to school supplies and jewelry. I do have some more ideas though to help and make my website different from everyone else's. I think it would be fun to actually make this website and have it be a legit thing. Where you can make the products and then sell them to people online and make money from them.
