Nolan McGillvary's Portfolio

This is my portfolio about my year in 6th grade here at DRSS (Dayton Regional STEM School). Here you will find how I had growth, stuff about me, what I did and why I had to do it for school, and how my artifacts affected my learning. We learn here by doing courses and studying online, reading books, teachers teaching us, and experimenting by ourselves. This portfolio is to show how I have grown morally, personally, academically, etc. since the beginning of the year.

Coding Progression



• I used to only be able to make paragraph's with <p> tags but now I know many more tags.
• I used not know how to use CSS, but now I definitely can use CSS.
• I used to not know how to add pictures, only words but now I can insert pictures on my webpage.
• I now know how to change the colors on my webpage, although I couldn't change any color of anything on my webpage before.
• Lastly, I know how to change my word's size, color, style, and more, but when I started I could only change what it said.

Reflection

Success



I succeeded on my Health Triangle Web Page Project. I worked really hard on it. I also think I worked really hard on this web page.

Challenge



I was challenged on the css for this web page. I was because I was trying very hard to make the pictures a good and normal size without them being too big while still keeping them legible. I had to type in a specific number of pixels for width and height to do this.




Growth



I used to only know how to use <p> tags, but now, as you can see by hitting ctrl and U on your keyboard right now to see this website's code, I have gotten much better at coding. I've gotten much better since the time I wrote the coding I used in the picture above and now I have gotten better because of Mrs. Murakami teaching me, and practice. Now I can make things like this You can also hit ctrl and U on that web page to see the code of that one as well.
