Coding and Miscellaneous
For one week during the school year, we as a class developed and worked on our coding skills on the website, code.org. While we were not truly coding and programming a computer, we still used the patterns and systems that a software engineer would need to program a computer or create computer software. This unit in particular helped me develop my troubleshooting skills because I asked my peers multiple times throughout the week to assist me with the coding order. Coding will help me in my future career because, even if I do not become a software engineer or work in a similar field, I will always have the knowledge of coding and it will help me many times throughout my career.
Another assignment that I completed is my website that we completed using Wix. This assignment was to create a website that provided a service or knowledge to the public. This project gave me the opportunity to develop my communication skills because I needed to provide all the information that my website needed in a clear, concise and professional manner. It also allowed me to demonstrate my developing presentation software competencies by designing an appropriate website for my intended audience. This knowledge will always be useful to me as I travel through my academic and adult career. Being able to design a website will make for some excellent projects. It will also provide me with the knowledge of how to create a website for a job that I might have in the future. One way that I might improve my website is to make it more consistent, add more pictures to the different pages and make it more exciting and colourful. |
