IS Lesson 3

Today, I learnt how to design a web page using html. It was interesting to see how I can be able to change the font size, or make words bold using some tags in a html document. I also learnt how to format a page of text using html, by making separate paragraphs, titles etc.

I also learnt how to insert images into my html document. It was interesting to find out that I can change the width and height of the picture I wish to display in the web page. I also learnt how to insert links into my html document.

IS Lesson 2

Today, in IS, I learnt about intellectual property and copyright. Through a video, I learnt that we need to acknowledge our sources if we use things such as pictures from other places in our work. I also learnt about some copyright rules such as the rule stating that we can only copy 10% of a book to use. I also learnt about the social impact of new media and how new web technologies affects our daily lives.

I also learnt how to participate in a forum discussion by posting comments and replying to other peoples' comments.

IS lesson 1

In this lesson, I have learnt about the Internet and Web 2.o technologies. I have learnt about the history of the internet, and also how it has evolved to its present day version. This was quite interesting as even though I use the internet frequently for work and leisure, I did not know about its history. I also learnt what some commonly used acronyms such as "http" stand for.

I also watched a video that told me more about how Web 2.0 technologies have changed our lives greatly by allowing us to connect much better using the internet compared to other past technologies. Lastly, I learnt about how Web 2.0 is different from Web 1.0.
