I really recommend CS1300 for anyone who is able to learn about computers. Computers are changing and you want to stay on top of the technology and its applications. CS1300 prepares you for what all the skills you can use on the computer and the best way to complete a project. I am so glad I was put into essential computers because I learned much more than I thought I would and the class is very efficient without being too strenuous. Take CS1300 from Ms. Belisle, you will not be disappointed.

Student Websites!!

The website project has been a great experience. Everyone put so much time into their websites and the work shows through their websites. It was hard to pick my favorite three because everyone did so well, but here are the websites that stood out to me:

Brittni Scruggs. Brittni's website was composed in an organized manner which displayed all of her accomplishments and places she have been. Her sense of background pictures were exciting to see because it did not take away from the page. Overall, Brittni did a great job bringing me into her world.

Brittany Flores. Brittany's website was interesting. I loved the sound clip used on the home page and her unique design. She kept the pages simple, but the information on each page was filled with great aspects of her life. Her page was lively and kept the person interested into what was coming next.

Andrew Gill. Andrew's website was a great idea. A website of the school could have been boring, but the mini stories from a Trinity student's perspective is beneficial to any student looking into coming to Trinity University. He used his own life at Trinity to engage someone else to witness a normal day on campus. His flashbacks of certain places on campus was clever and humorous.

The websites engaged me to know more about my peers and I am glad we learned how to compose websites. If you ever have time, please visit my own website at http://www.cs.trinity.edu/~bgordon.

Designer Ways!!

It is important for web designers to know how to use and know HTML code because what if something went wrong. The designer should be able to read the codes to fix the problem. With the new technology softwares that are more accessible to use can handicap a person. A true web designer getting paid to make web designs should be able to write in HTML code and interpret the code into a language many cannot understand. If I was an owner of a web designing company, one of the prerequisites to the job would be to know and use HTML code. It makes it so much easier to have a result to the problem if the designer could read the code just as fast as they can speak in English or their common language. A web designer to software programs is just like a math teacher to a calculator. The math teacher should know how to solve a problem with paper and pencil, and not just put it in the calculator.

Power Point Presentations!!

I think the overall power point presentations were well put together. Everyone conveyed a purpose of their topic in a way that someone could relate to their field of interest. One of my favorite power points was Leigh-Anne Ladymon's Marketing Advertisement. I liked how she broke down the terms of ethos, pathos, and logos to create a better understanding of the advertisement world. The design layout she used was very catchy. All the advertisement pictures used conveyed an advertisement point of view and marketing agents used technology to appeal to society. The Dove video used was proficient and interesting to know about advertisement. The other power point I liked was Brittany Flores' Jury Selection. She started the power point with a powerful picture of a jury and explained the difference between actuality and stereotypical. Her power point did not have much words, so you listened to her to get all information. The images used were very detailed and it could catch any one's eye from a far. Also, psychology is a broad subject and she narrowed her information down to one aspect. All the power points were informative and I think everyone did a good job. Well Done!!
