Character Entities! Studio 218! (SEPT/17/2010)

Today, on Sept 17, we learned about Character Entities in STUDIO 218! Every Friday from today onwards, Mr. Arkin will allow us to play music in his classroom (studio). Today Mr. Arkin was the DJ and he played us some of his selections. There is also a page on touque.ca that tells us more information about it. See:  Studio 218. In addition, I noticed that none of my classmates from Class A created a page on Wikispaces to choose the DJ for the upcoming week. So, I took the initiative to create it. See: Studio 218 Class A DJ selector. I created a system where students can nominate themselves and vote for their upcoming DJ.

NOTICE: I was supposed to write this blog on Friday, as this is Sunday now. Don't worry, I didn't forget about it, I was very busy assisting my cousin with her wedding on Friday night and Saturday. And to go off on a tangent, I was the bridesmaid! :-) Therefore, there may be some mix up in the mentionings of when I accomplished what and when events occurred. 

Later on in class, Mr. Arkin gave us time to work with a partner and review each of our printed versions of index pages. My partner had trouble uploading her webpage on the web, so a fraction of the time was spent assisting her to get in FileZilla and upload her webpage. After that, I had the chance to fix some of my misuses of underlining. (I learned that underlining is only used to indicate a link.) Then, it was time to go.

As far as homework goes, as I mentioned, I was not able to do any work until later today. I had the chance to make some changes to my revised index page and upload it one last time— or so I hope! (LOOK! An "mdash"!) However, I suppose change is good, and I should always make changes to my page by applying pieces of information I constantly obtain in class.

Lastly, Mr. Arkin gave us his recommendations of softwares we should download for home use. I will try my best to install these softwares before I go to sleep today.

Overall, Friday was a fairly good day.

Look forward to lots tomorrow!
