What does a CTE diploma mean to me?

-

There are many differences between a Region's and an Advance Region's diploma. One of them is that an  Advance Region's diploma would show that you did way more work than what was required to graduate high school. It shows that you are a student who exceeded in school and it tends to be recommended for students who will attend college after high school. Both diplomas are good but the Advance Region's diploma can save you a lot of time and money because some colleges tend to exempt you from taking certain courses because you have already meet the requirements for the Advance Region's diploma. A Region's diploma requires you to have 8 credits in Math, 6 in Science, 8 in Social Studies, 2 in LOTE and in Visual Art, Music, Dance and/or Theater, 4 in PE,1 in Health, 7 Electives and in total have 44 credits. The exam requirements are of 65+ on the ELA regents exam, 65+ on one math exam, 65+ on one social studies exam, 65+ on one science exam, it doesn't require you to have taken an LOTE exam and 65+ on any additional Regents exam. For an Advance Region's diploma the requirements are to have 8 credits in Math, 6 in Science, 8 in Social Studies, 6 in LOTE and 2 Visual Art, Music, Dance and/or Theater, 4 in PE,1 in Health, 3 Electives and in total have 44 credits. The exam requirements are of 65+ on the ELA regents exam, 65+ on the three math exams, 65+ on one social studies exam, 65+ on Living Environment and one other science exam, 65+on one NYC LOTE exam and 65+ on any additional Regents exam.

Achieving a CTE endorsement would benefit me because it would help me avoid remediation at CUNY and I would only need to complete 2 credits of LOTE instead of the six that are required for the Advance Regents Diploma. The unique benefits of obtaining it through the Web Design Academy is that for each single period that I have it is worth 1 credit but it is weight at 1.1 unlike a regular single period class which is weight as 1.0. The CTE also allows me earn the credits that I need for electives and LOTE. It also helps me by helping me find internships and Job shadowing which is what I need in order to complete the 54 units of WBL that I need. While doing all this to earn my CTE endorsement, I am also having fun and learning new things as I go along and not many people can say that they enjoyed taking a class that would benefit them by earning college credits.

Difference between 300ppi and 72ppi

   When you need to print a picture, you need a 300ppi resolution in order for it to have a high resolution and for it to look professional. When you are inserting a picture in a webpage, you need a 72ppi resolution so it doesn't look too bright. For example, when printing out the two pictures, the one with 300ppi resolution was a good picture because since it had a high resolution, you were able to see the picture clearly as if it was a regular picture and not something that was printed. Compared to the 72ppi resolution, which was too dim and you weren't able to distinguish things very clearly.

Lab 6 Reflection

For lab 6 we had to use what we learned in lab 4 to animate a box in the same way. I t was basically like a redo of lab 5 but with a stop button included. Although, in this lab we had to include a “stop” button which, when pressed, will stop the animation currently in progress. For example, if you clicked on the move animation, originally, the box would move from its initial position to wherever it’s ending position is. With the stop button you can stop the animation halfway through so the box only moves halfway to were it was supposed to be. The set up for this is the same to the lab 4. First, we create the stop button in HTML whilst giving it an ID so that we can call it with a JQuery selector. In your javascript file you add an event listener to the stop button. Then if the button is pressed you use the built in JQuery function “.stop()” which stops the animations.

CTE Expo

CTE expo is a way for communicating to the freshman. As well as to show the freshman what we do in the web design academy. To prepare, we created a board showing off the business cards which is one of the many projects that you do In the first year of the web design academy. I presented my board a few teachers and some students in order to receive their attention.  I was able to convince a few students into joining the web design academy. And I was able to present without surprisingly having a anxiety, hehe. In order to improve, I can include more information about what the academy is about and how it is based on my current experiences. I felt that it went very well and a bit as planned
