For my assignment in learning skills and development, I am going to be doing:
Why does a huge and sucessful company like Tesco's want to open up an online store using Ebay?
I feel this is a good topic to be writing about, in one way it shows great marketing and in another light it shows them as greedy and a monolopy. They already have successful stores nationwide, with a popular online shopping experience on their own site. So why open up another store on Ebay, where alot of smaller businesses and personal users make their money.
For my assignment for design for the Internet, the topic I am going to be creating my website on is Stephen King.
From a younger age I have always enjoyed people telling me his stories and reading his books, so I thought this would be a great subject to create a website on. He is a very talented writer and I love picking up one of his books and not being able to put it down. He has many different books, films and comics to talk about, alongside his work for the community, so I will have alot to talk about.

A site that I am interested in...
There are many sites that I use each day, and I am interested in all of them. Whether it be from shopping online to researching how many seasons in my favourite TV show, I use a variety of websites. I'd have to say that the site I use the most, would be Google.com
It's great. All I have to do is type something into the search bar, and then it pops up wth thousands of results. Then I can just scroll throw the list looking for the one that I need, usually I go through it opening three to four up at a time in different tabs. Google is very easy to use, and it always has the answer, even mathematic answers.
When I am browsing online for computer graphics cards or cheap fans, I use Google, and sometimes, Google shopping. This allows me to search for a specific item, and then order them so it's easy to browse. This is where my multi-tab technique comes into play, I scroll down opening up the sites, then go through each one at a time.
Google is great for research too, there are so many sites dedicated to so many different subjects, and Google lists them all out for you. If I was to search for "WWII Guns" I would get thousands of different sites that I could then navigate too.

VARK Test
V = 10
A = 6
R = 10
K = 3
The results shown from the Vark questionnaire show that I am more of a visual and read/written type of learner. I feel this is true as I very much prefer to learn this way. I enjoy having a quiet environment where I can sit down, read, look over pictures and diagrams in order to lean how to use new programs, revise and self teach coding. Learning this way does put a lot of pressure on myself as I try to learn a lot of stuff on my own, only using books and the internet. When I am brainstorming ideas I feel that a spider diagram is the best way to do this, it allows me to add a lot of different ideas and concepts, then bring them all together in the end.
