Learning, Challenges, and Growth

            This quarter, I learned the use of HTML frames, unordered and ordered lists, and nested lists. We also learned how to style a web page using CSS. The community-based research entitled "Doon PO Sa Amin, Maraming Aanihin at Masaganang Lupain! Sta. Catalina's Agriculture: The Source of Community's Pride and Livelihood" really made me appreciate the life struggles of farmers and entrepreneurs in Sta. Catalina, Ilocos Sur; through interviews and analysis, we noted the strengths and challenges of the agriculture sector, as well as suggested solutions to these issues.



            However, despite these successes, I faced difficulties such as that of understanding the complex HTML structures as well as CSS styling techniques. Initially, applying CSS to make the webpage visually appealing was not easy. I had to be very patient and make extra effort when doing community-based research, especially when collecting credible information from interviews. To overcome such challenges, I looked for online tutorials, class discussions, and teamwork with my group members. Researching other web designs also helped me know how to structure and improve our project.

                Moving on, I will develop my web development skills, focusing on CSS and layout design. I will also work on developing my research and communication skills in order to critically analyze real-world problems. From this experience, I learned the importance of applying technology and social awareness to develop meaningful projects. I look forward to applying these skills in future learning opportunities.

Growth

                                      First of all, let me take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Jayzen Aldridge Eugenio. I live in Paratong, Santa Catalina, Ilocos Sur, but I originally come from Cavite. I'm 15 years old and currently a Grade 10 SSC student at Ilocos Sur National High School. I'm a pretty shy person, but I love being active, especially in sports. Even though I'm quiet and don’t talk much, I really enjoy staying fit and playing games. It can be hard for me to express my feelings, so people might not always know what’s on my mind.             Because I'm quiet, it can be difficult for others to understand me, but I think being shy has its positives. It’s helped me become a good listener and a caring friend. Even though I’m not outgoing, I see myself in a positive way. Playing sports has taught me discipline and perseverance, and it's helped...

Breaking the Cycle

           Taking care of the environment starts with getting everyone in the community involved. We can do this by educating people about simple ways to help, like recycling, saving water, and using less energy. By learning about the effects of pollution and waste, people are more likely to make better choices that help the planet.                         Another way to engage the community is by organizing group activities, like cleaning up parks or beaches. These events bring people together to make a positive difference, while also encouraging them to take care of their surroundings. It also helps start conversations about how to keep the community clean and green.              Lastly, we can support eco-friendly practices and work with local leaders to create policies that protect the environment. Starting a community garden or sharing tips on social med...

The Second Chapter

Image
         In the second quarter, I was introduced to HTML coding, which is the language used for development of websites. To create a webpage, I learn how to use the HTML contructs  <html>, <head>, <body> among others. I also underrstood how to place images, links and text which increased my understanding of the creation and presentation of websites.           One problem I encountered was trying to figure out how some tags correlate to each other when the webpage was not how I imagined it to be. I have to say it was annoying at times, but I accepted that it was just an easier way of putting all of it on the wall and connecting the dots that will go there.           In order to do this, I went through my notes, watched video tutorials, and ask assistance from my teacher and classmates.  As I practiced, I grew more assured in error corrections and in the step by step construction of page...
