We started off today with a little video that was quite funny. It was a comedy about the internet and it was in a box. If that box was dropped so much would happen and it fell and everyone went pretty crazy in the video. This was quite funny and it was a nice break into assignment one.
After the video we did a quiz about terms in assignment one. I was not too good at that however quite a few people were not too good at it. After it we went into pairs and had to do some research about the terms. We were all assigned one term each and we had to work in pairs. We were assigned application layer and that was quite easy to find out about.
For the rest of the day we were working assignment one task one. I was aiming to finish the first part and in the end I did. I will be aiming to finish off most of it on Thursday as it is not too hard to do. I have about six parts left to write about and I am done.

Monday - New unit!
Today we started off the next unit that is web design. I have done web design once at high school however we never went into too much detail with it. I have wanted to learn how to create websites with code so I hope I will enjoy this unit.
We cracked straight on with learning about HTML. The program we were using for writing the HTML was Notepad ++. I had never used Notepad ++ before so it was another new thing to learn about. Notepad ++ is pretty handy because it highlights the code that allows you to easily understand it.
After we finished learning the basics from Zoe, we moved onto practicing our HTML/CSS skills. I decided to experiment with the CSS. I wanted to learn about if you could change the cursor when they are on the website. I managed to find out this however the cursor could not be animated. I also found out about adding a background colour as well.

Thursday
We started off the day with matching starter. These were quite helpful as it is a good way to start off learning about the criteria for assignment 4. The first one was to match up the pass / merit / distinction with the criteria. I found this useful for breaking into assignment four.
After that we moved onto creating our survey and doing other peoples surveys. It was interesting to see other peoples animations and review them as we have only been working with our own animation most of the time. Creating the survey took quite a bit of time to create because we were filling in other peoples surveys at the same time.
We sent out the survey and got the responses to write about. I am aiming for a merit so I need to write about 400 words that is not too much. I am writing about three of the questions we asked and I have nearly finished the second one. I can finish a large majority of the work today so I will not have a lot to do tomorrow.

Tuesday - Submitting assignment three
Today our main aim was to submit assignment three as it was due in for today. We had finished our animation however we still had some paperwork to do and we needed to add some titles and credits. The starter of the day was a maths game. It was called "You cant do simple maths under pressure". Hence the name, it was a game that tested our math skills. In the end I managed to get to level seven then I stopped.
After that we moved onto working on assignment two and three. We wanted to finish assignment three first as it was due into today however we worked on bits at a time. I started off writing about some pictures on task three. This took quite some time as I was also working on assignment two.
After we finished all of the written work for assignment two and three, we worked on adding the titles and credits. The music was out so we had to edit it down. This took some time as we also had to change the volume of the music. In the end we finished the editing and the work has been submitted.
