Muraco Mentor Program

This is the blog we made for the Mentor Program with Mr. Ulicny.

We learned about how the Internet works and where our data is stored.

We learned about how data was transmitted in the earliest communication network, the telegraph, by building our own Morse code transmitters.

We also learned about how the Internet came to exist and how information is transmitted through the Internet in packets.

We set up our blog and learned how to contribute posts to it with words and pictures.

We learned how search engines crawl the Web. Google didn't index our Web until we put a link to it from another blog. After that, Google found it and indexed it within a few hours.

We also learned how to include audio files, video files, and embed games and other widgets.

We made a video and uploaded it to YouTube, then embedded the YouTube video on our blog.
