Introducing CSS!!! The thing that made my work better when we are still studying about HTML's. These two are like husband and wife because if only one of them works without the other it would be hard for the other one to work independently. What made this lesson easy, it is just easy to memorize its selectors because it only contain one word for each selector. What made this easy hard, nothing for me, but I don't know for others... BTW, what is CSS? CSS is Cascading Style Sheet they can be contained inside a HTML file or on another file that can be linked to a HTML file. CSS allows you to make designing your HTML easier and with shorter tags.

My Most Hated Topic on 2nd Quarter

Protocols. This lesson was my most hated one, because of this lesson I almost failed the long test (thanks to God I didn't). I'm not good at memorizing things before but better now that I can memorize things. Because of I'm not good at memorizing things before I didn't memorize the protocols and their functions. That's why almost half of my mistakes came from the items where it includes the function and information about protocols. I wish that this protocols will not be encountered when I come to the next year level.

Filtering the Results in Searching through WWW

Before this lesson I have been so confused with the results with the search engine of Mozilla because it always post results that came from different websites that contain different information about my subject of searching. Now, not anymore, because during my search in WWW, I always filter and remove the results from Wikipedia, though Wikipedia contain the most information about a thing, it can be the most unreliable source of information because anybody can edit the information in it. Even the uneducated people can edit it.

HTML Quizzes

Though I've expected that the quizzes could be hard, I haven't studied too much in making HTML's because I've predicted that it would be an open notes quiz because it is too hard for us to memorize all HTML tags and attributes at the same time.  My estimate is that their are about 20+ HTML tags that had been taught to us, how hard it could be if it wasn't an open notes quiz. It is too hard to for me to memorize at least 10 HTML tags because their are still attributes that should come with it. Even though the HTML's given to us was easy to copy, I still thank Sir Tom for that open notes quiz...

Our 2nd Quarter LT

It is very unexpected for me that the network protocols will come out in the test though I passed the test, I'm still disappointed because I didn't expect and hadn't studied too much on the protocols. I wish that I could retake the test and should have studied about these protocols because most of my mistakes were on the item that contains Identification items about protocols, from now on before our LT's on computer science I promise not to skip any lesson that should be study.

How to Create an Acceptable Powerpoint Presentation

There are 10 tips that I can give:
1.Use compelling material
You are the one who creates the presentation, the PowerPoint only represents what you are explaining about
2. Keep it simple
Focus on the contents of your slides and don't depend too much on the graphics and tables
3. Minimize the number of slides
You can use graphics or tables to represent something like statistics
4. Don't parrot PowerPoints
5.Time your remarks
Timing is always important in your presentations, never talk before the transition and animation of the text of your slides
6. Give it a rest
Put some intervals for some rest for your audience or else they will be bored from reading the PowerPoint
7. Use vibrant colors
Choosing colors for the background and the font should be wise, use contrasting colors like black and white
8. Import other images and graphics
Don't limit yourself from using other images except from the offers in the PowerPoint
9.  Distribute handouts after the presentation
Distributing handouts during or before presentations can be called stupidity, remember that reading is always faster than talking or explaining


10. Edit ruthlessly before presenting
Never stop editing before presenting, you're the only person to see your own presentation

Common Issues with ICT

Second Quarter Rocks for Me!!!

This quarter is my most awaited for the whole school year because I'm really excited to make web pages
I hope that the second quarter for CS1 was lengthened because I want to learn more about how to make better webpages
But for now I say goodbye to my beloved HTML lessons because we are already going to proceed to the third quarter....

Rules on How to be a Good Netizen

There are 10 rules that should be followed when using the world wide web for social media purposes...
And this is called the "NETIQUETTE"!!!!!
Netiquette is combination of internet and etiquette
First of all, what is internet??
Internet is worldwide network of computer networks that use TCP and IP network protocols...
Second, what is an etiquette???
This is a form required by good breeding, or prescribed by authority, to be observed in social or official life;
Now, when combined internet+etiquette=netiquette
Netiquette is the set of rules for behaving properly online...
Now, finished for the introduction, what is are the rules contained in this netiquette?
Rule #1: Always remember that even in the virtual world their are still human
Online or in real life always remember The Golden Rule that "Don't do unto others what you don't want others do unto you..."
Analyze before sending/posting: If you would say it personally to the person? If not, rephrase and reread...
Typing in all caps indicates that you are SHOUTING to your audience...
There are only words online, no nonverbal cues such as actions, so that your words can be easily misinterpreted so be clear whenever sending messages...
Words are written-they may come back and you don't know where they might go
Rule #2: Behave online as you do in real life
This one seems to be very easy to follow since what you do in normal life is easy to reflect in the virtual world. Since there is no actions that can be done in the virtual world
Rule #3: Know where you are in the cyberspace
Note: Netiquette varies from domain to domain
There are many domains in the cyberspace so you should first observe before reacting in what other people do in the cyberspace.
Lurk before you leap...
Rule #4: Respect other people's time and bandwidth.
I think you are new to this word..
Bandwidth is the amount of data that can be passed along a communications channel in a given period of time.
Always ensure that you don't waste the the time people spent reading your information.
No SPAMMING!!!
Spams are junk e-mails
You are not the center of  the cyberspace
Don't think of yourself a star in the cyberspace, always be humble
Rule #5: Make yourself look good online
Never post flame-baits (offensive language that can cause flame wars for the sake of confrontation)
Take advantage of your anonymity or being anonymous...
You will be judged on the quality of your writing -spelling and grammar do count in the virtual world
Rule #6: Share expert knowledge
Share the results of your questions to other persons, prevent being selfish
Avoid thrash talks
Post resource lists and bibliographies in the area of your expertise or profession...
The internet was created for sharing information to every other netizens
Rule #7: Help keep flame wars under control
Flame wars are the exchange of offensive letters of two or more persons
Prevent making flame wars worse
Flame wars are forbidden in the cyberspace
Rule #8: Respect other people's privacy
Rule #9: Don't abuse your power
Knowing more than others, or having more power than they do, does not give you the right to take advantage of them
Always share what you know to others
Rule #10: Be forgiving of other people's mistakes
Ignore minor errors or mistakes of other persons
Pointing out too much mistakes of others online is a sign of bad netiquette

My Favorite Topic

HTML. HTML or Hyper Text Markup Language is the language used for making HTTP's or Hyper Text Transfer Protocol. We've been taught how to make HTML the through the use of the notepad... HTML or Hyper Text Markup Language, this is a language for making webpages. HTML consists of several things like the attribute, tags, and the element.

Now, what are the meaning of the three things stated above?

HTML Tags- keywords that are surrounded by angle brackets (< and >)                                                

 an example is <head> and <html>, head and html are the tags

Tags should come in pair, the start tag and the end tag

an example is <head> and </head>

Note:End tags should have a slash before the tag

HTML Element- this are the words between the start tag and end tag..

an  example is <p> Bleah! Bleah! </p>, the words "Bleah! Bleah!"

HTML Attribute- this are words that provide additional information about the element

an example is <font size="5"> This paragraph is size 5 </font>, "5" is the attribute in this case
