About Fifa 13 :D

Fifa 13 is a game about soccer. You can go to career mode and either be a player or a manager. I usually play Manager Mode. When you are the manager, you can choose the team you want to manage. In the process of managing the team, you can buy new players or sell any of your original players. I like to use FC Barcelona in manager mode as they have the most money and the best players. With more money, I can buy more good players and put them in my team.
I also watch Fifa 13 on YouTube.
There is a guy called JJ, on YouTube, his username/page name is ksiolajidebt. He is a very good player and his skills are fantastic.

This is an example of videos I watch.

Games I like to play! :)

I like to play Fifa 13 and Blackshot.

Blackshot is a online shooting game created by Garena. There are a few gamemodes in BlackShot. They are Team Deathmatch, Team Flagmatch, Search & Destroy and Bunker Defence. I like Search & Destroy the most because you can only spawn once per game. This will result in a fairer game as it is just like real life, once you die, you die.

Web 2.0 Video

Major learning points of HTML.

1. HTML stands for HyperTextMarkupLanguage. It is the main language for creating web sites.

2. This is the basic skeleton of how u write out a HTML script.
<html>

<head>

</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

3. There are many different types of codes and commands we can add in to change the way the words look and its layout. CSS allows you to make the text nicer and the website more decorated and colourful.

4. A HTML script created using notepad can be opened as a website. However, you must be using the computer in which you saved the notepad file into.

Web 2.0

Web 2.0 is an advanced version of Web 1.0. For web 1.0, only the creator of the page/ page manager is able to post, edit or comment on the page itself. However, in Web 2.0, we are able to share videos, games, images, etc. with other people. It allows people to interact with one another more on the web.

Internet and the World Wide Web

On the first lesson of Infocomm Studies in term 2, our Infocomm teacher gave us an assignment. This assignment was to make a presentation about our given topic. We were split into groups according to our register numbers. Our topics were "Search Engines" and "Graphic Formats used on the internet".
