CSP Unit 2- Stage 1 #2

Question: Shakespeare's complete works have approximately 3.5 million characters. Which is bigger in file size:Shakespeare's complete works stored in plain ASCII text or a 4 minute song on mp3? how much bigger? Why?

Answer: If Shakespeare's complete work has approximately 3.5 million characters then it must have 3.5 million bytes. If a minute of a song on mp3 equals 720KB which equals 720000 bytes then 720000 times 4 is 2,880,000 bites. Therefore, Shakespeare's complete work would be bigger in file size. Shakespeare's work would have 6,200,000 more bytes than the 4 minute mp3 song.

WBL: Discovering your DNA

         On November 14th,  we had a WBL workshop in which we were given a packet full of tests that would help us discover our career DNA. When conducting these tests, I kept getting the DNA Code ASR (Artistic, Social, Realistic) or ASI (Artistic, Social, Investigative). When taking these tests I was sure I was going to get Artistic. Prior to this WBL workshop, I sort of had an idea of a future career I want to intake. The career I want to pursue is Fashion Design. I know as a fashion designer, you must be creative and imaginative with the designs. I feel like this career really suits me. However, I was sort of doubting myself because I thought that there are much more many people who are more creative then me. I felt like I was an Investigative person more than I was Artistic. Once I took the test, I was happy with my results because it gave me the confidence of pursing a career in the Fashion Industry. If in the future I do not pursue a career in Fashion Design I know I would like to pursue a career that will require the use of creativity. Even though I am in web design, I know the skills I learn in this class can relate to fashion design because in the fashion design industry, technology is also used. I would love to pursue fashion along with a minor in some technology field. I would like this because it could help me develop more skills. Overall, this WBL workshop helped me a lot because it boosted my confidence and allowed me to discover more things about myself.

Intro to CSS

Today I learned to use CSS but beforehand my classmates and I had to complete a worksheet for AP computer principles class. Once I finished the worksheet, I went to w3schools and started taking notes on CSS Syntax. To get started with CSS we had to complete the excersices that were easy to comprehend. I may have not learned all the things that we can do in CSS however I did learn the basics. I thought it was going to be hard learning CSS but its similar to HTML. There is much to remember when using CSS but it is going to be worth it because  it will make our lives such much easier since we can now assign specific elements to a paragraph or heading all at once. When using CSS we must use our HTML skills as well. I'm really excited about learning CSS because I think you can do more things with CSS especially if you combine your CSS and HTML skills. We may have not had a teacher to guide us through our first experience in using CSS however we were given a website that is enough for us to learn CSS. However, I do hope to understand how to write comments because I am still kind of confused about it but I know I must keep on trying and practice on how to do comments in order to understand it. In the future I hope to learn more about CSS in order to create a website that can reflect my hard work and my enthusiasm for this class that I love a lot. There is never a day in which I do not learn. This is what I like about this class because even though our teacher cannot be with us we are still able to learn  and teach ourselves. This will help us to learn to be independent and realize how much we can achieve if we try hard.
