CTE Expo Reflection

-
     During the CTE expo I was able to intrigue a lot of freshman's by walking up to them first and bringing them over to show them my final project.  The objective of the expo was in order to show the incoming freshman's what the academy is all about and what we have been learning and experimenting with. To prepare for this expo I made sure my website and game was all ready and working. Also prepared a business casual outfit to look professional. I think what went really well was the fact that I was able to attract freshman's that were interested and answer all their questions they have. I also think what really went well was that I was able to be more confident since this was my second time in the expo, and because of this i was able to gather more than 1 freshman at a time and lead them to other classmates for a more smooth transition. For the next year expo what i can definitely improve is being able to transition the kids to my classmates more often to create a "wave" effect and so that way they can learn even more. My overall feeling was that it was successful and went really well compared to last year and i hope some do join the academy as a reflection of the expo.

Lab 7

Lab 7 was the most difficult labs their was to code. This lab involved designing and coding. The main part of the lab was to link our web pages to one where you just click lab1-lab7 without having to go back and forth. We first did this by duplicating our folders of lab1-lab6 and copying them into lab 7. This was because we needed the files to be copied into the lab 7 directory to ensure the links wouldn't change when we create our web page. Once all files are in we have to create a index.html in lab 7 because this was the homepage and how the website would read it as index.html. After this part we had to go back into Photoshop to design our images to click for each lab. After this is created we head back into Dreamweaver to start coding the index all together. We first start by putting our heading banner which we learned in the previous lab. Then we inserted all 6 lab images using the <img> tag. An example was: <img src="Images/lab1.png" alt="Lab1" cla...

Lab 8 Reflection

During this lab the main goal was to create flash talk movie about one of the topics that we researched about.  A flash talk movie is a brief speech or presentation, intended to grab the attention of the audience and convey key information in a quick, insightful, and clear manner. The point of this flash talk was to describe in 2 minutes  the importance of the Internet and the effects on people and society. The three main topics given to choose from were Net Neutrality, Internet Censorship, Advanced option: Protocol Vulnerabilities and/or hacks. The topic I chose to talk about in this video was Net Neutrality. Net Neutrality is “Net neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers treat all data on the Internet equally, and not discriminate or charge differently by user, content, website, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or method of communication” (Wikipedia). This means that we as consumers of the Internet we are to surf freely among the web with...

" Minority and dissident communities face a perplexing challenge in countries with authoritarian governments. They need to remain anonymous to avoid persecution, but also must establish a trustworthy identity in their communications." Computer science and researchers traveled to three countries to help assess their challenges of maintaining a secure social media presence. They designed an app for android that would create a safeguard for the members for their anonymity and reliability of posts. The three countries were Mongolia, Zambia, and Turkey. These countries suffer from restricted speech, like Russia and China.  " The problem with anonymous communication is you don't know if it's credible," said Miriam Metzger.  This is where the app SecurePost comes into play because it allows the community to create secure groups on famous media, like Facebook, to maintain consistent presence on social media. The app allows total anonymity and flags any potential pos...
