IAL: how to create a code and leaern new things
Today in the morning block Mrs Shearing came into my class to have our last Cybersmart lesson for this term. But in today's lesson we had a lesson about HTML. HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. HTML describes the structure of the webpage, what text, images or links are on the page. She gave us this work because she was working with Year 12's at Tamaki College and she asked if my class could do it and the Year 12's said no because its was quite hard for them.
While we were doing this work we were asked to go on the site where we are doing the HTML thing and we had to learn codes and new things. The site is called Codepen.io. We had to do what Mrs shearing wanted us to do and that was to learn how to type a code and it would come up with it. On our class site is some shortcuts you can do on the Codepen.io site and here are the shortcuts.

head element
The HTML <head> element has nothing to do with HTML headings. The <head> element is a container for metadata. HTML metadata is data about the HTML document. Metadata is not displayed. The <head> element is placed between the <html> tag and the <body> tag: |
After putting some codes on and colours on the codepen.io site we had to save everything that is on the top right hand corner of the screen. Then we had to close our netbooks because it was time for us to pack up and get ready to go and get ready and go and have our morning tea and then come back up because we had to go swimming after that.
What I found challenging was that I didn't understand what the codes were until I went on the site and looked at all the codes. What I enjoyed was that I learned how to make a code.
I hope you like it Cooment Feedback and Feedforward please.
