Term 1, Week 4

In our first website design lesson of this week we started to write an assignment titled: 'Protocols and Devices'. Mr Hill then talked to us about plagiarism and that it is really important that if you do want to use someone else's work, then we should put it in inverted commas and in italics and underneath write where it has come from (website, person etc). We we do the same thing if we used a picture from the internet.

In the second lesson we learnt about the history of the internet and learnt that the internet and the world wide web are two completely different things. We learnt that Tim Berners Lee was the person who came up with the original idea of the world wide web and that it's to him that the world wide web is credited to.

In the second lesson Mr Hill also talked to us about web browsers and that when internet explorer was first created it was included in the Microsoft windows operating system. Other companies who made internet browsers didn't like this, so internet was then made seperate form the operating system and other alternatives were allowed.

That's all for now. More to follow!

This is a video that Mr Hill took of us when we were entering the classroom for Wednesday morning's lesson. The reason why it was taken was so we could all practice putting a video into our blog. Here it is!

Term 1, Week 2

I write this now at the end of our second website design lesson. So far we have set up our blog sites and have explored all the different features and settings. I experimented with the design of my blog and changed the background from a plain white background to a dark background. I also changed the font to orange from black.
