Lab7: Favicon

This lab was at first just to create a favicon, an icon, for our webpages, but then it turned into a little research lab. A favicon is just an icon or logo in a sense that you see next to the webpage title in the tabs. When creating the favicon I used code.org because it just turned out one of the lessons was to create a favicon. My favicon was simple, but I like the design. The research aspect of this lab was that we had to answer the following: what is a favicon?, how are they create?, and how I created my favicon. This all had to be on a webpage including an image of the favicon, but the actual favicon had to appear in the tabs. To do this part of the lab I had to use the link tag <link>  and put my favicon as sort of an image.
I enjoyed doing this lab because it was working towards something that represents who I am and what I want my webpage to look for others. I see myself using these skills in the future to create a more professional webpage that I can brand as my own using a favicon. With favicons you can mark a website as your own and it is something you personally created which makes it even more special.

Different Diplomas, Different Requirements

Image
Even though I've known that there are three different types of diplomas offer, generally, I never really been told by school staff the requirements for each diploma; I only figured out the requirements when I googled it. however, today I finally got a sheet with all the requirements for getting a regents or advanced regents diploma. the major difference between a regents and advanced regents diploma is the foreign language section. A requirement for advanced regents is you have to have accumulated at least 6 credits in a foreign language and take the LOTE, an exam that is basically the regents exam. since you only need 44 credits to get a regents or advanced regents diploma the extra credits you get from the foreign language class is taken from electives, so you only need 3 elective credits for an advanced regents diploma; a regular regents diploma requires at least 7 elective credits. since I'm in a CTE academy in my school, I do not have to take the extra foreign language c...

Lab 18 Reflection

Image
For lab 18, it was the first time we are introducing arithmetic operations. The lab was basically creating a calculator that could perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and modulation. To make it so the user can input any numbers they want, I had to create input bars and assign them as a variable in order to carry out the operation. Functions had to be created for each operation in order for the code to execute correctly. Again I used the format from the previous labs except this time there had to be more input bars and buttons to accompany the increase in operations. Creating a functional calculator was difficult, but for me it was more difficult figuring out the best method to show the results. I settled for using a similar method as lab16 which was setting the buttons so when clicked it changes the text of a paragraph, in this case it would change it to the result of the operation. This lab was good practice in using arithmetic operations and coding that will lay...

CE#1: Revolutionizing Methods to Track Dolphins

Image
In an article published by The New York Times titled, " Tracking Dolphins with Algorithms you Might Find on Facebook, Steph Yin tells the story of Kait Fraiser and her new way of tracking dolphins. This was a big deal because beforehand it was extremely tedious and expensive to track dolphins. Many different factors effects whether a dolphin will be at a specific place in time and using echolocation was even worse. The amount of data collected would cause even the greatest minds to have a headache. However, Fraiser created a machine learning program that is similar to the one used by Facebook to recommend new friends in order to help this dilemma. With the new program huge amounts of data can be analyzed and identified in a short amount of time compared to if it was completed by humans. In fact, the program(algorithm) was able to analyze 52 million dolphin clicks and identify distinct groups of sounds. Also the algorithm was ale to analyze two years worth of data in four days whil...
