Read THIS blog post by a teacher. I mean actually read it. Take it in. Think about it. And then, write about it. What do you think about it? What is the teacher trying to say? In your own words explain what "the main event" is.

The main event in my eyes is being able to deal with adversity. Handle tough things at tough times without getting caught up in something or angry. I don't think some teachers care that much about their students and wouldn't be able to sleep at night just because of them.

3 day weekend... how was it? Give me a good story or something funny that happened this weekend. Go.
I went to New Orleans for basketball this weekend. We went 2-2, but we didn't play very well. On Sunday night, we stayed up late and got keys to our teammates rooms. We were sneaking into their rooms and poring water and ice all over them.

Do you agree or disagree with this statement. Elaborate on why you agree of disagree.

If images are on the internet they should be "free game".
Yes they should be free game because if every person can have access to them, they are free game. Just because you are using the picture doesn't mean you are taking credit for the creation of that picture.

I thought my website was pretty good compared to the rest of the class. The Brain dump really helped me in this because I knew what I was going to write for each section.  The Photoshop aspect of things really made my website more unique. I didn't just have normal fonts as my heading making it more interesting. I think we have a lot more to learn in Web Design, and this stuff is just the basic. As I walked around the class, people had pictures as the background of each section. This made the text hard to read if they picture had a lot of things going on in it.

What's the coolest thing you've learned in Web Design so far? Why is it so cool and how can it help you in the future?
The coolest things I have learned in Web Design is how to make a website. It's crazy how many things you can do with a website. It can help me in the future if I am involved with a job that wants to make a website. I can help them make that website and all the things they need on it.

What is a resume website? What do people put on resume websites. Spend about 5-10 minutes looking up resume websites and what they are used for. Explain what you find. Include an image of a resume website if possible.

What are you doing for Spring Break?
I am staying in Kansas for Spring Break. I start my summer team this weekend, so we have practice on Friday and Saturday. I will probably lose everything I have learned in the last week over this break. I am going to hang out with friends like my boys Kon of Ash and JET.

Tell me about your weekend.
On Friday, I had people over and we played some basketball. It was pretty fun. We were up late and I got no sleep. On Saturday, I went to a basketball game at Miege. That place was packed and they had to stop letting people in. Miege gym is too small it couldn't hold all the people.

Blog Post of the Day:
If you were the Principal for a week at BVHS, what would that look like? What changes would you make? Why

I could not be a principal. There are to many things you have to worry about. I would be stressed out all the time. So I would not say I would make any changes because I have no clue what I would change. If I was a principal, our school would not get anything done.

Blog Post of the Day:
Tell me about your weekend. Give me a story, something funny that happened, an experiencing you had, the way you felt, etc. Include photos!

We lost on Friday, so that is pretty rough. On Saturday, we had some nice basement basketball on the Little Tikes goal. On Sunday, I didn't do much but mess up my sleep schedule. I took about a 3 hour nap. It was nice at the time, but I was up till 4 last night. I had Chipotle for dinner last night and that always puts me in a good mood.

The perfect curriculum would preparing us for the future, and teach us things that we are interested. Some things we learn in school now, I will not take them with me in life and not pursue them. Other things we learn  will help me with life in the future. Personal Finance should stay a class, and other classes teaching you how to live on your own and spend your own money. And take classes that will help you in life. Like I would take math classes because I am interested in pursuing something that is involved with math.

Color can convey a lot of emotion when it comes to designing anything from a product to a website to an advertisement to a logo and so much more. What do you think the importance of colors on a website are? What is a color scheme and why is it important to have when designing? Explain any thoughts you might have around color in design.
I think color really can make or break a website. It's important to pick an appropriate color for a topic. Color scheme is pretty much color that go well together. You also to not want your colors to be too distracting. Color is important.

Think about the quote above. What does this mean to you? How could this apply to your life? How could this apply to your school work (especially Web Design!)?  I would love to give you less work in class if it meant you were going to focus harder on the work. Do you think you would get more out of it? Would that work for you? Why or why not? I think we only need to do the important things. If we did important things and interesting things, the teacher would not have to go over it as much because it will stay in my mind because I more focused. I would focus harder on less work because that mean you won't have as many grades in the grade book, so you need to do better on those things. You can't bomb anything. It would work for me.

Tell me about your weekend. Go.

We played on Friday vs. Platte County. We won by like 30. Then after the game the whole team went to Chipotle. It took forever because varsity and jv all had to eat. On Saturday, I played Lindsey ball at Coach Lindsey's house with a couple other guys. Saturday night I went to dinner with my parents at Nick and Jakes. On Sunday, I went to American Sniper with my parents, and I thought it was a funeral when we were walking out.

Kids are always on their phones these days. Girls are bad and these boys need to stay away from all these girls. "They don't know how to handle their social media"- Mrs. Huseman. Kids don't care about their grades anymore and just mess around all the time. Unless your name is Tyler Geiman, you aren't an annoying kid.

What do you find the most confusing and frustrating part of web design and HTML code so far? What would make it easier? What don't you understand? What do you understand? Explain yourself.

Codecademy is the most frustrating part of Web Design. It is a lot of just doing the same stuff over and over again. It's not hard. It is just time consuming. I don't get why you have to close out everything and use all these different characters you never use. I understand doing like titles and headings.

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.

I kind of agree with this statement, but it was said in a mean way. I think people need to be able to take care of themselves and do things on their own. I feel like people need to act this way, but the guy who wrote this put it in a pretty mean way. He could have been a little bit nicer about the whole thing.
