College Fair

Image
Jhoan Muy 04/02/19 Today at the Armory Track, my Web Design class and I went and attended the annual fair, at this fair there was a mix of companies and colleges out there which explained there computer science programs and some even had their own products/prototypes to test. There was various schools all enjoying the fair which had companies and students present their work in the computer science field, such as some students in my web design academy. I went around and I talked and got information over what exactly those businesses do as well as advice for the future. I was able to try out a virtual reality realm which was awesome. It was my first time at the CS Fair and I'm sure I'd like to go next year there was prizes a bunch of activities a lot to do there. Overall a good field trip in which I was able to meet a CTE requirement and enjoy the fair and learn throughout the day.

Final Project Reflection

Wireframe Jhoan Alexander 06.08.20 Link to Webpage      In my Web Client Programming class we were instructed to construct our "Final Portfolio Website", this website will in the centerpiece of all our work, this would be constructed with some regulations to what should be included for example, a navigation bar to previous sites, professional social media platforms, etc. but the majority of the website would be constructed to our liking. Before beginning to construct my website I first made a wireframe to how potentially my website would look like, I went with dark colors because I liked how my previous website looked like when I used dark colors, I also made the layout, I configured where each object in my website should go to have a good appeal to the user. I also elongated my website by making it into sections, one section would be the introductory page and the other the more informative and about me section. The making of my website was not as difficult as I th

Spring Project Reflection

Jhoan Alexander 06.08.20 My Wireframe Link to Project      In my Web Client Programming class we were assigned a "Spring Project". Our project required 20 webpages with citations and on any topic of our liking. I decided to make my project on the boroughs of New York City - Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island. But before constructing my project I needed a wireframe, this would allow me to follow an outline for my project, in my wireframe I was able to decide my color schemes for the entirety of the project. My wireframe also deciphered what each individual webpage would consist of, I made it homepage, history page, edifices page, tourist sites page, and a recommendation page based on my knowledge of the borough. The constructing of the website was troubling at points such as when I was making the slideshow at the homepage, I also faced issues with positioning of my objects the most eminent being the title. This was a lengthy project but manageable

WBL Workshop #3

WBL workshop #4 involved our career path and college major. This is a huge part of our future finding our path into adulthood and our potential career. We did this through using Virtual Job Shadow, an online platform used for students to find careers of their interest, we are first asked an abundance of questions and then our answers are calculated into groups. We were grouped based on suitability of 6 different categories, artistic, conventional, enterprising, investigative, realistic, and social. My results said I fit in enterprising which I believe I do. Jobs in this field included entrepreneurs which I believe I will become in the future. Overall a great workshop, I was able to learn a bit more about myself and my future to come.

Jhoan Alexander Web Client Programming WBL Workshop #4 - Resumes The fourth WBL workshop dealt with constructing our resumes. Your resume in a way is a method used in advertising yourself. Your resume dictates whether you are or are not a candidate for a certain job, resumes are highly important and used by the majority of employers. In your resume it is best you are honest with your abilities, you do not want to be lying to your possible employers and are exhorted to be your true self. Resumes carry information regarding your educational history, work history, skills, and personal information and this includes phone number, email. Address, etc. My first experience in making a resume was nothing difficult, expressing yourself in one page rather than multiple is not difficult as it may seem, the only difficult part is being concise making everything fit neatly and efficiently.  Good resumes must have a neat layout which an employer can be able to read with ease and learn abou

Junior Achievement Career Panel Reflection

Jhoan Alexander 05/15/19 This past week Junior Achievement streamed a career panel discussion for students like me at Information Technology High School. The stream was very informative and very insightful. I gained a little more background on the working field and the journey there. The part of the stream I enjoyed the most involved Preet's insightful talk on college and advice to seniors like I, Preet spoke about the journey throughout college such as new experience - traveling to adulthood. This stream was very beneficial, presenters were very knowledgable and they even motivated us during adversity. Overall a very insightful and motivating stream.
