Exploring ICT: My Journey in Web Design and Networking

As a Junior High School student, the fourth quarter in ICT has been a journey filled with new knowledge, challenges, and opportunities for growth.

Throughout the quarter, I discovered how to use Microsoft FrontPage to design simple websites. I learned how to add texts, images, and links to make my web pages more interactive. We also explored the function of LAN cables and how important they are in connecting devices in a network. I discovered the different types of network cables and the types of networks such as Local Area Network (LAN), Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), Wide Area Network (WAN), Private Area Network (PAN), and Campus Area Network (CAN). Understanding what a network is and how it helps in communication and data sharing really gave me a better appreciation of how technology connects people.

One of the challenges I encountered was designing web pages using Microsoft FrontPage. Sometimes, it was hard to drag and place photos exactly where I wanted them. I struggled with aligning elements, and sometimes the layout didn’t turn out the way I imagined it. It was frustrating at times because I couldn’t fully achieve the design I had in mind.

To overcome these challenges, I asked for help from my teacher and classmates. Their guidance helped me understand how to better use the tools in Microsoft FrontPage. I also took the initiative to explore and experiment with the different functions and elements within the software. This hands-on experience helped me improve little by little and become more confident in using the program.

Moving forward, I will continue to deepen my knowledge and skills in using Microsoft FrontPage and other web design tools. I want to improve my ability to design more professional-looking web pages and become more familiar with networking concepts. I believe that with continuous practice and learning, I will be able to achieve my goals in ICT.
