Journal - What have you learned about making a website so far? What has been easy about it and what has been frustrating? Explain.

I have learned that making a website can take time and takes a lot of citing. you have to site almost everything that you put on the website. The most frustrating part is definitely citing everything like i just said. It just is a pain in the butt to do.

Journal - Tell me if you agree with this statement and then explain why or why not. "Images on the internet are 'free game' - if someone posted I should be able to use it."

Yes, because if you are going to post it on the internet then you should expect people to use it. If you don't want people to use your image then it shouldn't be on the internet. There is no reason why someone should their work on the internet and not think that some is going to use it. It is simple if you don't want people using your work then you shouldn't put it on the internet.

Journal - What do you know about plagiarism? What do you know about plagiarism on the internet? Howdo web design, the internet and plagiarism all effect each other? Explain

I know that plagiarism is not a good thing. It is when you take someones work and say it is yours. It happens a lot everywhere. It can happen on the internet or just copying pages from a book. It is not legal first of all and people just shouldn't copy someone elses work. I know that it is really common to find plagiarized work on the internet. Also know it is really easy to plagiarist work on the internet. People do it all the time in school which is probably why you are making us talk about it. Well it effects each other because people use all of these things and you find plagiarism the most on the internet. This is because it is the easiest to copy pieces of work on the internet. Also we are doing web design in this class and using the internet and you are trying to tell us not to plagiarism.

Journal - After watching the short clip of Ashton Kutcher's acceptance speech what did you take away from his advice? What does this quote mean to you -"Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you, and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use."

What I took from his speech was be smart, be nice and kind and be yourself. Don't let people influence you be yourself. The quote means the world is made up by people not smarter then us and what we call life is not really what life should be about. It should be about people doing what they want to do. Also influence your own life don't let the world form your life build your own and be yourself rather then what the people around you want you to be.
