After watching this video, I feel like my thoughts have been put into words. I can't even count how many times I see a group of friends literally not talking and just sitting on their phones playing useless games. I once saw a group of twenty freshmen in the Fixed Forums, and not a single one of them was talking to each other. Instead, they were all on their phones, doing nothing at all.
Social interaction isn't how it used to be, and we need to change it. People aren't engaging in conversation and interaction like we used to. Now, like the video said, it's staring at a name on a computer screen rather than looking at someones face. It's getting to the point where looking someone in the eye when they speak is awkward and uncomfortable because it's unfamiliar to us.

What is a 'splash page'? Look it up. Explain what they are and how they are used. Find an example of a splash page in Google Images. Save the image to you computer and then upload it to your blog post. Hint - see below. A splash page is a way to show what you're about, but not revealing too much detail about it.

Status update! Tell me where  you are at on your product website? Can you be finished by tomorrow at the end of the hour? Do you need more time? How much more time? Be honest and explain yourself.

Right now I only have a few pages left to finish. I need to be working in Photoshop to create images for those pages, and then I'm done. I already managed to link up all my pages on my own... it isn't rocket science. I think I'll be done by the end of the hour tomorrow, maybe even before that.

Welcome back! How was your Spring Break? Tell me all about it. You've been out of school for 10 days so I know you will have plenty to share. Make it good!

I slept during the day and played video games and listened to a lot of music during the night. I also had my friends Will and Gio over to spend the night. We walked to Walmart and took a shortcut through a creek where we found a really old style bike and that was a lot of fun to attempt to BMX on. At Walmart we got soda and chips. We spent the day playing pool and playing music really loudly in my basement. Then we crashed around midnight. Over all, it was a lot of fun, and it's better than being cooked up in my room every day with nothing to do.

Do you like the layout of this project? Have you benefited from your brainstorming sheet? Was it more helpful or annoying when starting to map out your website? Explain why.

I am pretty okay with the layout of this project. It's benefited me in the organization of my project and my website. It was definitely a huge help when designing and building my website.

After reading below to see where you should be on your product website - are you caught up? What helps you stay caught up in class? Do you like having small checkpoints? Are you behind? If so, what are you going to do to get caught up?

I don't know if I'm all caught up or not, but I'm at a descent place. I have my header made and I need to get my footer made in Photoshop. Things that help me stay caught up are small checkpoints for sure. I also like being able to see the assignment and what is expected of me to be on BV Business. That way, if I get lost or confused I can look back there to help me get where I need to be.

What idea do you have that is going to make you product website different, unique or unlike anyone else? If you're answer is you don't know - it's time to start THINKING. Explain your idea.

I'm going to provide information about the different kind of skateboards, what different skateboards are used for, what skateboarders are really good, etc.
