Internet Scavenger Hunt

On Monday NOV. 1st we had to conduct a internet scavenger hunt where Mr. Fry gave us a list of 19 items we had to find on-line and send him the URL's to the info. we found.

I don't remember all of the items we had to find but some of the things we had to find were his middle sisters married name, information about us on-line  other than facebook and itinerary for 3 adults and 3 kids to Disney in Hawaii.

My group of three split up the questions and one person had 4 questions to look up while the rest where split up between me and the other person.

I didn't have too much of a struggle to find the information on the questions I had to look up. One of the questions was two different definitions of the term sock-puppet. I just went to google and found the answer. Actually I went to google for all the questions I had to look up and from what I remember all of the answers showed up.

We completed the task at hand but it took us roughly an hour and a half I believe. I personally wasn't worried about finishing first since either way we would get extra points. Overall the task was neat and fun! Would I want to do it again...maybe....maybe not......

The point Mr. Fry was getting across to us was how easy it is for people to find information about you on the internet and no one is safe in the virtual world. It makes one think for a moment plus realize how much times have changed and one can no longer hide when it comes to the world of internet. That is a scary, scary thought when it comes right down to it!

Creating an HTML

For class we had to create an HTML page. Here's how it went for me:
     
The very first step I could not complete! I could not locate the view menu options and open up source....I have no idea if maybe it was because they were calling it something I am not use to or what but I could not locate the source they mentioned. It also could be because I got a new cheap computer and am simply just using it for school work (word and internet) and it is so simple it's "hard" to use at times!

I then decided to skip to the following steps and see how this will pan out. I found the notepad and just followed step by step and I created a page. I tried to have a color in the background but that did not work so I am not sure if its because I already had a body part and ended it or I was mistyping something . But it's all good. So I created a page and overall it wasn't too hard but I am still confused because didn't I create a website? If not then how come it came up as a website? If I am able to create a website then why does one need to purchase a domain? Or does one buy a domain and then create the html for that site? Like I mentioned before I am not tech savvy at all, so this stuff is confusing to me.

I liked the little marquee that goes across the page and I dislike that the color part did not show up. Other than that I have no idea what I will use this for or what the purpose of having this is for (for a person like me that is- ha! :)
