"Second Quarter Reflection"


As this quarter comes to an end, it's a perfect opportunity to reflect on what we've learned and how it has shaped our understanding of web development. One of the highlights of this period was diving into HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), the backbone of web design and development.


Gaining a Strong Foundation


Learning HTML has given us the tools to create the structure of web pages. Starting with the basics, such as the <html>, <head>, and <body> tags, we discovered how to build the framework that every website relies on. Understanding these foundational tags has helped us see how websites are crafted from the ground up.


Exploring Different HTML Tags

Each tag we explored came with its unique purpose and utility. Some of the key tags we studied include:

- Heading Tags (<h1> to <h6>): These taught us how to define headings of various sizes, giving structure and hierarchy to our content.

- Paragraph Tag (<p>): This allowed us to organize text neatly into readable blocks.

- Image Tag (<img>): Adding images to our pages brought them to life, showing how visuals play an important role in communication.

- Anchor Tag (<a>): Linking to other pages or websites gave us insight into the interconnected nature of the internet.

- List Tags (<ul>, <ol>, <li>): These helped us create both ordered and unordered lists, essential for organizing content in a user-friendly way.

Beyond these, we also touched on form tags, table tags, and even inline styles, all of which expanded our ability to design functional and visually appealing web pages.


Practical Applications:

Learning HTML wasn’t just about theory—it was about application. By creating simple webpages, we saw firsthand how the combination of different tags can result in functional designs. For example:

- Creating a personal portfolio page.

- Designing a basic blog layout.

- Embedding multimedia like videos and images to enhance user engagement.



HTML has taught us more than just coding; it has honed our attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and creativity. It showed us that even the simplest lines of code can lead to powerful results. By mastering the basics, we now have a stepping stone to more advanced web technologies like CSS and JavaScript, enabling us to dream bigger and create more dynamic projects in the future.


As we look forward to the next chapters in our learning journey, this foundation in HTML is a skill we’ll carry with us. It has given us the confidence to continue exploring the world of web development and a sense of accomplishment in creating something from scratch.

This quarter has been an eye-opening experience, and the knowledge we've gained will undoubtedly play a crucial role in our future endeavors. Here’s to many more lines of code and the websites they will build!

2024 National Children's Month Celebration

Image
The chosen theme for 2024 National Children’s Month (NCM) is centered around the campaign “Break the Prevalence, End the Violence: Protecting Children, Creating a Safe Philippines.” This theme rekindles the challenges that a good number of children go through by way of abuse, neglect or even exploitation. Research shows that violence towards children is likely to cause emotional, mental wise as well as physical more often than not impediments to their potential of growing up confident and useful in the society. The main objective of this theme is to give a voice to the children’s issues that are often silenced. It stresses the need to build a supportive and protective environment for children where they feel safe, cared for, and encouraged. In this thematic area the focus is on the sufficiency of legal and institutional frameworks for the children’s protection. In the Philippines, there have been laws proposed for the protection of children such as the Anti-Violence Against Women and C...

"Honoring Our Heroes: The Lifelong Legacy of Teachers"

National Teachers Month 2024 entitled “Together4Teachers” is a timely and meaningful celebration that renews the acknowledgment of educators’ contribution in influencing not only one’s personal life, but the society as a whole. They are not only lecturers but the teachers are the core of our society, the leaders and the guide of generations, the carrier of values, the bearers of knowledge, strength and character in learners. It is not just limited to providing knowledge, knowledge with the ability to determine the tone and potential for future leaders, innovators and citizens who would shape the future of our communities. Although their main objectives are teaching and passing knowledge, teachers still help students develop critical thinking, curiosity and help them overcome difficulties. They teach their students lessons on hard work, tolerance and honesty and what their students become in the society is not just academic achievers but people with good ethical standards. As a graduate...

"Building a Sustainable World for All"

The Environment Month, which is a period set up to raise the public's consciousness of the conservation of our planet, is honored. It leads to the need for green practices, conservation of natural resources, and the fight against climate change. In this period, communities and people in general reflect together about the impact of human activities on ecosystems and take the measure of promoting actions that provide for a healthier and greener future for all. The concept of such communal responsibility insists on this and every person takes it as a means to the attainment of the continuity of the life on the Earth that he/she wishes to. I'm doing my part to protect and care for the environment by taking the following actions: I focus on being more energy efficient at home by using energy-saving appliances and turning off lights when they're not needed. This not only helps reduce our energy consumption but also lowers our utility bills and minimizes our environmental impact. ...
