Blog 5b: Science Fair Proposal

One of the Major topics of web design is the UI created for each website.

The high a website sits on top websites list, the more likely the website will have attributes of an effective UI.

I would test this by creating a list of traits that an effective UI would have. Then I would use the Alexa Web Information Company List to find a wide variety of websites to compare to my list. The next step to go to site from the top, bottom and middle of the list and compare them to the check list. After this I would record what traits it had from the check list. I would track it by creating an excel check list of traits and creating a new column for each website.

Working EQ: What is the most important element of a successful web site?

Objectives (Specify skills/information that will be learned.): I will teach about the internet as a network. Different components of the network such as servers, DNS servers and IP addresses.

	Guide	Time
Introduction Name Senior Topic EQ Internet	Stage presence is important! In a few simple sentences, introduce yourself and your presentation objectives.	1 min	Important Source 1: Mentor Jonathan Rosales
Verification (Steps to check for student understanding) What is the internet?	● Beginning of Presentation: What specific question will you ask the students about what they already know regarding the topic you will be teaching? ● End: Check for understanding by…	1 min

Body (Give and/or demonstrate necessary information) L: The internet is a network. A node is a device that allows humans to access the network. Bus and Ring network? Star and Mesh networks are the kind of networks the internet is. A server is a node that gives info and a client receives info. DNS servers are like phone book and the IP addresses are like phone numbers for computers on the network. I: My most important source is my mentor because he felt that I needed to know this before we designed websites. A: This is a foundation for web design because understand the medium you are publishing and how it works is important when present you intellectual genius to the world. For example when publishing in print you have an understanding of the language you are writing and the grammar of it. There is also the trouble of finding someone to publish your writings for distribution and sales.

Break down what you plan on talking about into manageable sections. ● Literal: Facts you have learned ● Interpretive: Most important source to help you learn the facts and why ● Applied: Discussion of how what you are presenting on is the foundation of your working EQ/topic

Conclusion So now look to the internet map. You see all the lines, each one is a connection of two nodes and you can see the scope of how many nodes are out there. But let us look at something closer. Like the computers in the desks or the phones in your pockets. If you’re connected to the I-poly Student then I want you to imagine the line going from your pocket to the router in Spanish class and I want you to imagine the internet map of I-poly.

Exiting the stage is just as important as entering it!  How will you depart the stage?

Blog 7: Independent Component 1 Plan Approval

I will continue metorship by seeing mentor every weekend. This will help teach me what goes into designing websites.

Blog 6: Second Interview Questions

1. Why did you go into the field of technology?

4. Describe a challenge you faced and how you over came it?
5. What do you believe is the most important thing that you've learned and why?

Blog 4: Working EQ

1. Because of the Research checks I have gathered more research on my topic then I would have in two months if i were left to my own devices.
2. Source three gave me an insight to different jobs within the field of web design and how they approach it differently.
3. Research checks and mentorship has given me a lot of information.
4. The interview hasn't worked out because I haven't done that quite yet.
5. Finding value:

• What language would be most useful to me?
• Help Edwin and Jorge build a website.
• I would like to talk to Hannah's Dad next because he is a web designer, Jim Skaggs (mom's friend) a because he is an IT manager that told me a little about RAID 5, or I would like to contact Anthony J. Davies from www.userexperiencedesigner.co.uk because I found his website to be helpful.
