Video response.


I thought this video was very eye-opening. When everyone is stuck looking at our phones we miss out on the opportunities to truly communicate with people face to face. Our generation is becoming one that is lost without technology. It's sad because we miss out on chances that shouldn't pass us by. I believe everyone, including myself, should put down the phones more so we can enjoy the company of those around us.

What is a 'splash page'? Look it up. Explain what they are and how they are used. Find an example of a splash page in Google Images. Save the image to you computer and then upload it to your blog post. Hint - see below.

A splash page is the first page of a website that the user sees first before given the option to continue to the main content of the website. Normally Splash pages are used to promote a company, service, or product. Used to inform the user what kind of browser is necessary in order to view the rest of the site's pages.

Status update! Tell me where you are at on your product website? Can you be finished by tomorrow at the end of the hour? Do you need more time? How much more time? Be honest and explain yourself.

I need more time. I have about 4 pages finished other than my index. This is because on block last week I was unsure how to link up pages or create a new page from the drop down menu. After a bit of research I figured it out though. I could be finished by block.

Welcome back! How was your Spring Break? Tell me all about it. You've been out of school for 10 days so I know you will have plenty to share. Make it good!


This Spring Break my family and I went to Tulsa, Oklahoma for four days to visit old friends. When I was in 3rd grade we moved from Tulsa to Overland Park, so it was nice seeing friends that I haven't seen in a few years. When I returned home I took a class to get my Red Cross Lifeguard certification. I also received a job for this summer as a lifeguard and camp counselor at Lifetime Fitness. Other than that I had soccer practice at the high school, and I got my hair cut 5 inches.

After reading below to see where you should be on your product website - are you caught up? What helps you stay caught up in class? Do you like having small checkpoints? Are you behind? If so, what are you going to do to get caught up?

Yes I am caught up. It helps when I manage my time and don't get overly-concerned with one part of the project. Small check points help keep me on task to know what I need to complete in a day, so yes I enjoy having them.

What idea do you have that is going to make you product website different, unique or unlike anyone else? If you're answer is you don't know - it's time to start THINKING. Explain your idea.

My products are accessories, which isn't too unique, but the design of my website is going to be different than others. My color scheme and designs will complement my products. For example, each drop down menu may be color coordinated with the products listed under it.

What product have you decided to feature/sell on your product website? Explain why you've chosen this product and remember, the sky is the limit on this project!

I have chosen accessories to sell because there are many different categories that fit under accessories. For example- jewelry, scarfs, belts, hats, etc.
