REFLECTION

Image
 As we entered Quarter 2, we began learning how to code using HTML tags, covering various topics such as Basic HTML Structure, Text Formatting, Lists, and Links. However, I didn't attend classes regularly because I joined BP '24.  When I returned to school, I focused on catching up on the lessons I had missed. I worked on completing the coding activities and addressing challenges such as understanding nesting and closing tags, managing attributes, and maintaining proper structure. I also developed skills in coding, including creativity in designing and creating web pages, as well as critical thinking and problem-solving when I encountered issues with my code. In the future, my knowledge of coding can be used to develop web pages, enabling developers to craft captivating digital experiences etc.  As technology advances, HTML's influence will continue to shape the web, empowering innovators across industries.
