Learning Basics of HTML

When you first start to do things on the internet you are quite happy to follow existing programs getting the feel of how it all operates and learning how to find your way around. Then comes the time when you want to start branching out a little on your own, doing things for yourself. This is the time when you need to learn some basics, like learning the ABC of the internet, learning some Basics of HTML.

Some people are put of by this notion of learning something new thinking its really difficult, however HTML really isn’t that hard. Remember when you first stared to do sums at school? well once you understood how it all worked it was all easy. HTML is pretty simple.

Basics of HTML

HTML stand for Hyper Text Markup Language. The language is easy, its plain english.The words we use everyday. To get these words to be visible in a browser we need to give the browser instructions to read them. The instructions are the HTML, this is what the browser looks for to display correctly what you have written.

HTML Tags

Instructions come in the form of a series of tags . Each tag gives an instruction. Each tag is a keyword surrounded by brackets . Its very much like the training soldiers receive to stand to attention and then to be at ease. You give the command, then you close or finish the command. So we have an opening and a closing . The / tells us its the closing tag instruction.

Just learning a few basic tag functions will help you with some very basics tasks online like inserting the html code for a banner for example. I remember myself the frustration I had when trying to do this when I first ventured out online without first learning some Basic HTML. Had I first learnt some of the basics I wouldn’t have wasted an hour or two in frustration.

Ycademy Basic HTML

Having a handy reference that you can refer to at anytime, like the ‘Ycademy Basic HTML’ is so useful, and you can return to it time and time again till you are more proficient in what you do. Printing out a copy and keeping it handy I personally found was easier. I was educated in the era when printed matter was all there was so old habits die hard.

Learning Vocabulary

Learning Vocabulary

Things change so fast, not only here online in cyber world but also in the real world. We have to keep pace by continually learning, as mentioned in my previous post, by absorbing new ideas, vocabulary and concepts in order to be able to communicate with others.

Vocabulary

This weekend I learnt something new, even at my age!

We all are exposed to and absorb a basic vocabulary in our pre-school years. From then on as we socialise we build upon that foundation and add more words that we absorb and learn without even thinking about it. Further education and learning increases our vocabulary even more as we often learn technical terms that are required by our careers or jobs.

“ An average educated person knows about 20,000 words and uses about 2,000 words in a week” Johnny Ling – 2001

Language itself evolves as its used from day to day, and if we look back to say the Elizabethan times, (about the time of Shakespeare), the average vocabulary of an adult was around 500 words although Shakespeare himself had a vocabulary of around 21,000 words. He was a well educated man.

Having grown up children is a real eye opener sometimes. This weekend I felt a if I had dropped in of the moon! When youngsters get together they speak their own language. This language was something I could not understand with ease, as they were using words and phrases I had never heard before. Colloquial english… the language of everyday with its own vocabulary, phrases, nuances interspersed with slang. Certain words having taken on new meanings as the language evolves. Today ‘gay’ does not have the same meaning it had 50+years ago. Unless you are versed in this very informal everyday speech it all can almost sound foreign.

I have a few friends who always rib me that I use ‘colonial english’ but then that was the vocabulary, language and pronunciation I was taught and brought up with. Not exactly ‘colonial english’ as I’m not a dinosaur yet, but certainly grammatically correct. Even in the short span of my life time language has evolved immensely, and just as I don’t understand Chaucer’s 14th century language, nor will future generations understand today’s spoken words so well.

Children Learning Language

Listening to the spoken word

Children start learning language from a very early age by listening to adults around, primarily their parents and siblings. They mimic what they hear, not necessarily understanding the meaning of the words they use. They also learn by the tone of voice which words create displeasure and which approval. Today they are also influenced by television, videos, radios etc which they often hear in their environment. Even at a very young age they are listening intently, absorbing like a sponge, learning. My grandson is less than 6months old but already he recognises and responds to his name, and tries to communicate with you with noises in his own fashion.

Children learn language fast as they are not inhibited like adults, they are happy to give it a go and if they make mistakes they are easily corrected. Eager to learn, eager to communicate. Encouragement goes a long to helping their linguistic development.

Children have to be educated, but they have also to be left to educate themselves. ~Abbé Dimnet, Art of Thinking, 1928

Learning

Learning

Many people find learning, the formal style of learning, a real chore, it’s just not for them; others regard learning as a most pleasurable activity and get a real buzz from getting to grips with a new subject and skills.

What is Learning

Learning as defined by Wikipedia is ‘acquiring new knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, preferences or understanding, and may involve synthesizing different types of information.’

We are all learn something new everyday, even if we are not conscious of the fact. Just coping with everyday life, the changing world around us, every experience increases our learning curve.

Learning through play

However small an action, there is always a thought process behind it. Of course most of the time we are not aware of it as per se only when we come across something a little different from the norm then we are probably aware we are thinking, thinking it through, synthesizing information, coming to some conclusion, a new value, preference or understanding perhaps. It’s all a learning experience.

Formal Learning

With formal learning we actually make a conscious decision to acquire new knowledge or skill. Depending on the topic it may take years, weeks or months to accomplish. Formal learning can be undertaken in many different ways by going to school, college, university, studying at home and also nowadays learning online.

Learning Online

With the internet being more widely available, it is possible to learn many subjects online by attending courses, seminars and utilising various e-course material. E-learning is both for children and adults. Nowadays learning needn’t be boring. Online technology offers educators so many various media to stimulate the learning process, using both visual and audio stimuli as not everyone learns in the same way.

Informal Learning

Everyday we experience informal learning, learning from our day to day situations that we are involved in. When it comes to young children they mainly learn through play and observation, totally unaware they are learning, understanding the world around them and acquiring new skills.
