I would have to agree with this video. I think that the majority of people now a days are all too consumed with technology. I see this on a daily basis, especially with my younger nieces and nephews, as well as my own friends. We have gotten to a point in society where everyone is completely reliant on their cell phones, laptops, and tablets. I hardly see anyone spending time outdoors anymore, and i believe technology is one main factor in how humans treat the earth now as well. Because of technology, we are all able to communicate with each other effectively and quickly, and that is great. However, I think we as humans have taken it to an entire new level and that we are slowly becoming robots.

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 a kind of teaser that appears before someone actually proceeds to opening up the main site. The site's owner would use this as a teaser to promote, and get clientele interested. Some of the splash pages can bring you directly to the main site, or require another link to be clicked before entering.

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!

My spring break was fantastic! I went to the Virgin Islands with my two best friends and had the time of my life. We went to the beach, we went out on my dad's boat, and we went shopping quite a bit. I learned how to paddle board, and it was a lot more difficult than it seems. I got to explore the island. Just about every day we went to the private beach in my dad's complex. I definitely got sun-burnt. But I loved it. After I got back in town, this past weekend has been hectic seeing all my friends and family up north. Overall, my spring break was just what I needed.

Do you like the layout of this project? Have you benefited from your brainstorming sheet? Was it more helpful or annoying when starting to map out your website? Explain why.

I don't mind the layout of the project. I have benefited from the brainstorming sheet, it is really helpful. It was more helpful than annoying.

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?

I am slightly behind due to an absence on Friday of last week. I am going to work quickly, but I was already ahead last class period that I was here. I do like having small check points, it makes it easier to understand what I need to do and what I need to get done.

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 product website is actually going to be my own products. Everything that will be featured, I have made by hand. Another difference is that I am going to give the consumers a chance to "make their own" piece of hemp jewelry, where they can pick out the type and color of hemp, the style of the hemp, and the beads they want used.

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 decided to sell Hemp Jewelry. My sister and I started making the jewelry about 5 years ago. So I will be selling my own jewelry, made by hand.
