Personal Credo
Steve Job's legacy was really a keen one which had up's and downs. His determination earned him a lot of fame as well as money. Most importantly from my view, it seems as though he just wanted to change the world. If that was his mission, mission complete. This inspires me to be determined on what I love to do, and let nothing step in my way.
My guiding principles are to do wat you love and want to do. But one quote that I always stick to is " Its easier said then done." Its natural as a person to have dreams. People want to be doctors, dentists, lawyers and even millioners. You can want to be these things but nothing is given in life.
You have to work for what you want in life. That credo guides me to work hard on my goals that I am trying to achieve. My job is to get better and strive for success. This will drive me through all the good and bad times that awaits me in life. It also aids me to overcome all mistakes and inconvenience that have occurred in my life.

Dress Code
Tell us how you feel about the school Dress Code. What is your opinion on School Uniforms? Why do you think it is necessary or unnecessary to wear school uniforms? Do you think that students are reacting properly to mandatory school uniforms? What do you think is the effect of mandatory school uniforms?
The school dress code is a way to elicit unity in students by making them wear similar clothes. The dress code is a good way to reduce competition in students regarding what clothes they wear. It maybe acceptable for younger kids, but the majority for high school students abhor wearing uniform. They enjoy showing their personality from the clothes they wear.
School Uniforms may be a good way to control kids but there should be certain days we can wear casual clothes. That day can be a friday where its the end of the week. Students are reacting properly to mandatory school uniforms. Its difficult to change from wearing your favorite clothes to looking like the other students in the school.
The effects of mandatory school uniforms are students finding ways to get around the school uniform. some positive effects can be less attention on what you wear and more attention on your education. Or maybe not. Ultimately students want to be themselves.

HTML Basics 1
- What is HTML?
- A simple scripting language
- What does HTML stand for?
- HyperText Markup Language
- What type of document is HTML?
- A plain text file that contains text and nothing else
- What happens when a browser opens an HTML file?
- The browser will look for HTML codes in the text and use them to change the layout, insert images, or create links to other pages
- What does the acronym WYSIWYG stand for?
- What You See Is What You Get

- There are excellent editors on the market that will take care of the HTML parts. All you need to do is layout the page
- What are three benefits of knowing HTML?
- You can use tags the editor does not support
- You can read the code of other people's pages, and "borrow" the cool effects
- You can do the work yourself, when the editor simply refuses to create the effects you want
- Describe how you create a HTML document using a simple text editor.
All you need to do is type in the code, then save the document, making sure to put an .html extension or an .htm extension to the file

Basically, a computer sees an "A" as simply an "A" - whether it is bold, italic, big or small

Samsung Galaxy Tab
How will you use the Samsung Galaxy Tab™ be used to improve your education? Will tablets enhance learning or be more of a distraction?
The samsung galaxy tab is a great way to improve my education. Tablets are a good way to show textbooks. I will use the samsung tablet as a substitute for my text books. It also is reliable for taking notes, which in the long run saves paper and money.
Tablets will be a distraction if you let it be one. Several people would go on social networking sites on the tablets instead of using it for an educational purpose. Fortunately, not everyone's like that. The tablet os a great way to receive info faster then the conventional dictionary.

iCloud
Advantages of iCloud computing is sharing your work and interest in several of your devices. I like that the iCloud allows me to share my work with other devices with out starting a new project in another device. The iCloud puts all of your information in the web, with that statement it makes it possible for hackers to access it.

Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs was born February 24, 1955, to two University of Wisconsin graduate students who gave him up for adoption. He was adopted by Clara and Paul Jobs, they named him Steven Paul Jobs. Paul started the genius Steve by working on electronics in the family garage with him. Paul would show his son how to take apart and reconstruct electronics, a hobby which instilled confidence, tenacity, and mechanical prowess in young Jobs. In elementary school he was a prankster whose fourth grade teacher needed to bribe him to study. Jobs tested so well, however, that administrators wanted to skip him ahead to high school, his parent declined this proposal.
After he did enroll in high school, Jobs spent his free time at Hewlett-Packard. It was there that he befriended computer club guru Steve Wozniak. Wozniak was a brilliant computer engineer, and the two developed great respect for one another. In hid first year of college Job's enrolled at Reed College in Portland, Oregon. Later in his elusive career he invited what can be considered as a big leap of technology. These devices included the ipod, ipad and first iphone with video calling. These devices are widely well known in every country.
Steve Job's legacy was really a keen one which had up's and downs. His determination earned him a lot of fame as well as money. Most importantly from my view, it seems as though he just wanted to change the world. If that was his mission, mission complete. This inspires me to be determined on what I love to do, and let nothing step in my way.

Netiquette Project
Project
Netiquette
Netiquette - Internet manners, is a combination of the words network and etiquette. Currently, it is a movement to establish a code of good behavior on the internet.
5 - Netiquette Guidelines
1. Remember the human- Know when you are talking to a computer and human. Treat people like humans not like machines, because unlike machines, humans have feelings.
2. Know where you are in cyberspace- When you enter a domain of cyberspace that's new to you, take a look around. Spend a while listening to the chat or reading the archives. Get a sense of how the people who are already there act. Then go ahead and participate.
3.Make yourself look good online- Unlike the real world in cyberspace you won't be judged by the color of your skin, eyes, or hair, your weight, your age, or your clothing. Know what you're talking about and make sense
4.Share expert knowledge-The reason asking questions online works is that a lot of knowledgeable people are reading the questions.The Internet itself was founded and grew because scientists wanted to share information. So do your part if you are an expert on a question that is asked, give an expert opinion.
5.Be forgiving of other people's mistakes.Everyone was a network newbie once. This rule is really trying to say that when someone make a mistake, be kind about it. KNow matter how stupid it is. If you decide to inform them about this error, express yourself in a polite manner.
Conclusion: Always treat people the same way you would like to be treated if you was in their shoes, in this case their computer.

HSPA Testing
Do you think the HSPA test should be given on a computer or over the Internet? Would most students do better or worse? Would the results be the same? Would you prefer to take the test the traditional way or on a computer? Why?
The HSPA test shouldn't be taken on the computer, there are several ways you can cheat during the test. More students will do better, but i dont think its because of their studying. I would prefer to test the traditional way because thats the way to really test my knowledge.
