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.

It kind of motivates you to do something, but it makes me feel like I "cry." I honestly don't agree with this article; I know this person wants us teenagers to do good things in the world, but calling us cry-babies is fairly rude. It's not like we literally sit on the couch and moan on what to do in life, let the teens explore their answer for themselves. Some may do great things, some may do bad things, but you can't just call out all the teenagers in the world for this. I mean wasn't he/she a teenager once as well? I do find this writing motivational though, and there are good things about it. Here's my major "pet peve" this person said: "get out of your dream world" That's not fair to say at all. Dreams inspire and motivate us to do what we want, we live in America! We must follow our dreams! 

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."

There should be some limitations to this situation. Like if you're using the picture for a class-related project, or showing your friend it, then I think it would be fine. However, if you use the image in a public presentation and take the credit for the image, then it's not okay. Unless the owner/creator of the picture says its okay, then you are ready to go. Also make sure there is no copyright on the picture, because you could get fined for using that picture that someone has copyrighted. 

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.

Hello, my name is Jayden Rutler, I'm a former freshman at this school and we're kinda treated like we're the bottom of the food chain because we're freshman. I'm currently involved with the football team (freshman) this year, and it's awesome! 2014 baby! Pretty excited for this year, and all the surprises to come along with it. I love Entrepreneurship, the teacher's awesome, and the class is really fun.

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.

I walked into this class wanting to know how to create awesome websites, and learn how "coding" works. I imagined coding would be simple, and let me tell you, it isn't! My main goal was to learn how to create a cool looking website, because I have a lot of ideas in mind of what to do with this skill. I've had very little experience with the making of websites, I started to get familiar with the HTML code when I was using this program called "enjin" to create some unique looking websites. Here's what I know about web pages so far; how you enter a title in the tab menu, how you can create text and titles explaining something on the website, how you can insert pictures, and you can insert links within pictures! To create a title on the webpage, you have to do this:

[Title] <Text name here> [/Title]

This is just a little bit of knowledge I have learned from Code Academy! I can't wait to venture into the world of coding, and learn its language.
