My Journey Throughout the 2nd Quarter in ICT

REFLECTION    This 2nd quarter, I have learned a lot. From our first activity, where we did the coding using the notepad, to our last activity. I now learned about how to use the HTML tags, how to make tables, how to apply the start tag and end tag, and how to put style on my file. I learned that I can explore so many things, and I can do many things on the notepad of the computer. Using the htm extension, my works on the notepad became alive. Alive in terms that it contained pictures, tables, etc. using words only in the notepad. All of this is now my forte, or should I say, I am capable of doing all of this now. It brought me a lot of lessons that I can carry on every day.     The challenges that I have encountered are that when I first saw what we needed to do, I was clueless because I didn't know what I should do, where, or when to start. It's because it's my first time to encounter this type of lesson and activity in my whole entire JHS year. At first I had a ha...
