HTML!

I never knew that i could ever understand how computer geeks can easily design a webpage. But from the class on web design, I can even design a webpage on my own without the help of a computer expert. There are many web authurizing softwares that can be used to create a web page such as Microsoft expression but the most important thing in designing a web page is that the web creater should understand the HTML code. The html code is the language is used to design a webpage, the language has various synbols which are only understood by the preson who is familiar with the code. If the web designer understands the html code, he or she can design a web page without depending on the softwares. With an understanding of the code the designer can create a web page even on the absence of the softwares. The understanding of the code makes the web creater understand what he or she is doing even if there is a mistake done, the creater can easily correct it because he knows the code. With a person who doesn't know the html code it will be a hard time for him to correct the mistake. Understanding of the html code is extremely important in web designing.

Best Presentations!

All the presenations were really great and fun too watch! But in everything there is always the best of the best! My best presentations were Jordan's on Alexandra the Great and Chiara's on Drawing.
Jordan's presentation was really interesting because he had all this information about Alexandra The Great that I didn't know about since I'm not a great fan of History. I learned about Alexandra the Great via this presentation. The presentation was best on the use of visual evidence such as the maps to show all the territories that Alexandra conquered. This information on Alexandra was interesting and it made want to know more about this Great person. The content of the presentation was so interesting because he had all this information about the Great Alexandra.
The other presentation that caught my attention right away was Chiara's on drawing. I have been trying so hard to draw but couldn't just do it. After this presentation I have just been motivated to do so. This presentation displayed Chiara's talents as an artist. The images used showed exactly what she was talking about in the presentation. I really enjoyed watching this presentation. The images of begginer's drawings were really interesting. The design and the content of the presentation complimented each other.
All in all the whole class did their best in the presentations.

Google!

I have used google so many times in high school as my main search engine. Right after I came to Trinity most of my instructors descouraged me from using Google. The reason behind it's because it does not contain scholarly articles. After Chris Nolan's presentation I found out that I could actually use google to get scholarly articles, I was so surprised. I learned Google can be used to find scholarly articles via Google scholar. Google scholar mostly contains scholarly articles that cannot be found on the normal google web page. The normal google web page contains articles that are popular among people and those from websites that are mostly ranked, these articles may not necessarily be eduactional though you may have typed in an eduactional term. The schoalrly articles are placed on the last pages or on Google scholar since not so many people understand them. Therefore, when I'm doing a research and I want to use google I can actually use google scholar and I won't get in trouble with my professors.
I was surprised that besides the use of Google scholar to find scholarly articles, the normal google page can also be used to find important articles by limiting the results to what you are looking for. If a term is typed on google search there could a million results of which some of them are not related to the topic. You can actually limit the number of results, language, file format and the information you want to be contained in the in the article by using a plus sign or minus sign if you want to omit the information from your search results. This could be useful since only relevant articles will be provided.
