I agree with the message. Kids are growing up with technology and they aren't learning the social part of life. They won't know how easy it is to talk to people because they have never done it before. If you're constantly on your phone then you really are missing things around you that are going on. I would rather actually be with my friends and doing something with them rather than just texting them. It's a lot more fun to actually go out and do something with people instead of checking social media sites all the time.

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.

It is what you first see before you go to the main screen. It promotes something so that you are wanting to view the rest of the website. It will have animated graphics and sounds. Sometimes it will bring you to the main website or you will have to click on a link to get to the main page.

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 a lot more time. I was gone all of last week so I haven't started any of my content pages. So obviously I will not be done tomorrow and I will need to come in after school and work on it.

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!

For Spring Break, I went to Pensacola, Florida with one of my friends. We have a couple friends down there so we went to see them. We also met some really cool people when we were there. Most of the days it was raining and a little cold so when it was warm, we spent the whole day at the beach. When it would be raining we would go shopping and get henna tattoos. Going to Florida was my birthday present, so I got back on the 19. Then my birthday was the 20 and I turned 17. For my birthday I got my belly button pierced and went to lunch and dinner with my family. I have a twin so it was also her birthday.

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 like this layout and I also liked the brainstorming sheet because I already have my website mapped out I just have to actually create everything. It's more helpful because you have less thinking to do when making the website because you already have it all written down in front of you.

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?

For the most part I am caught up. I just need to make my footer and insert that. What helps me stay caught up is having the small checkpoints rather than having a lot due over a long period of time. This helps me know exactly what I need to get done each day. To get caught up I just need to make my footer and that won't take very long at all.

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.

Something that makes my product different is that it's selling a living thing. It's adopting a pet. Most people are selling a product that is an inanimate object but mine is a dog or cat.
