Itec 2215 Tyree Baptiste

For this assignment I went with the things that I have accomplished to date, besides my associates. This is because I think for my age I have done a lot, and I am proud of these things. I also wanted to create something that I could actually use today, as well as a professional resume of course. LinkedIn link: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tyree-baptiste-14963b15a/

     While using Code Academy I found it to be a very well made tool for kids or adults to use if they were interested in coding. I think if I had this website growing up in my early teens I would have loved learning about it, but now after trying multiple times of trying to code I know it's just not for me. Ive also tried using Dreamweaver before, and there is just something about it that doesn't bring me any joy out of it. I think it has to do with that I can't see the progress by just looking at lines of code. I like art because I can see what I'm drawing what needs to be fixed, and the adjustments are different when it comes to drawing than coding.      Would I use it to learn other coding languages? No. I just couldn't have fun with the program because it was very cut and dry, which of course it's going to be because its coding not a video game. I think this website is great for people to learn who are interested in coding, but unfortunately after my...

     This year I attended the ACS seminar online. I would of liked going to the seminar in person, but sadly I was scheduled for work before hand and wouldn't of been able to make it. I think that I had to watch the recorded version because they might have started early. I got off of work at four so I thought I'd just miss the introduction, but there was already two hours available to watch. Security isn't really a big interest of mine, but I thought it was cool learning about hackers and such.      The highlight of this seminar was definitely the capture the flag that the school set up. I think this was very creative, and very challenging. I probably didn't get one of the highest scores out there. I believe it was around 13,000 because of the massive multiplier the put on the score, but it was a pretty fun game. I think the riddles could have been more clear, and that would have helped me out. I liked this assignment though, it was entertaining and I'd ...

     This assignment was quite interesting. Creating an infographic wasn't what I expected to do when signing up for this class. I thought it was going to be just a bunch of facts we have to learn so I'm happy this class isn't just a cut and dry learn the material class. Using Canva was a pretty simple drag and drop website. Type what one is looking for and place it where it should go. The only problem I had with that website was how to get the same font when making a new text field. It wasn't allowing me to search the font however, I figured out if I just copied and pasted another piece of text it fix this problem. During this process I learned that infographics isn't quite the speciality of graphic deign I'm interested in, but it was still a fun assignment.      When looking for other websites that I could create infographics with I came across two that stood out for me. The first can me found at https://venngage.com. Venngage had the same feel as Canv...

     When doing this project I decided to do module three because it was over what i was most familiar with. Using the program, Blackboard Ultra, I only had one difficulty, which was getting the power point to load into the share file program. For some reason as a power point file it wasn't loading up, but once i saved it as a PDF it went through fine. Other than that it's a pretty simple program. The only thing that was hard about this midterm was presenting the material. I've never taken a speech class so it really isn't my forte. I've given speeches before such as at my high school graduation, but when i have to be serious and talk in front of people i tend to freeze up. All in all I did prefer this rather than taking a test so thanks for that!
