CTE Expo Reflection
CTE Expo stands for Career Technology Education Exploration. It is an event where all the sophomores, juniors and seniors of any CTE Academy display their works and present it to the audiences. They also explains what their academy is all about and why they should join that specific academy. The audiences are the freshmen and the school staffs. The teachers brought their class students to each CTE Academy and the students role was to ask questions and get information about each CTE Academy and decide which one fits the best for them.
The organizers of the event are the CTE Academy students and the teachers as well. The students displayed their works and presented it to the freshmen, and the teachers introduced them to the CTE Academy. This event was held in every CTE Academy rooms, but the one I am in is the Web Academy. This event took place on February 12, 2015.
This event went really good, because we got an opportunity to show all of your hard work and creativity to teachers and freshmen. Besides, it was a great experience overall. This event gave us an idea and experience of what it really is in being a salesman and it also relates to real life situations.

Fall Term Evaluation
In the fall term, I think I did pretty well but I need to improve more. I learned many new things about creating animations and websites as well. Also, I learned how to use some new softwares such as Adobe Flash CS6, Fireworks CS6 and Dreamweaver. Creating animations for Respect for All was fun and enjoyable. I think the easiest lab was creating Rollovers and the bouncing balls. Project 4 was hard and challenging because I had to think of how I'm going to create the animation and it was difficult in matching the timing of the characters in my animation; But it was fun and exciting at the same time and there was nothing that was boring.
I can improve this term by coming on time to class and submitting all of my completed works on time. The skills that I learned during the fall semester is vital because I can use these skills for my upcoming labs and projects and also in my near future. Besides, I can also use these skills to create animations to express my opinion or feelings and to show my creativity.
