Who do you look up to in life? Why? What have they done to help you or guide you?

I look up to my mom. I look up to her because she manages to have four kids and somehow manage a hectic life. She always manages to get each kid where they need to go and keeps up with her job and going to the gym six days a week. My mom played flute and made it to all state band and I too play flute and hope to achieve something just as amazing as that. My mom always makes sure that in a sticky situation I am the one to do the right thing or be the bigger person.

Tell me about the global issue you selected yesterday;restate your paragraph from yesterday.

The global issue I chose to research on is abortion. I feel very strong about abortion and that it shouldn't be an option because there are so many other good choices to chose instead of killing an innocent life.

Public Service Announcement

Monday, January 27

"If you could pick one issue in the world to fix or change what would it be and why?"

I would chose to fix bullying. I would fix bullying because bullying is an everyday problem and i see it at school and outside of school everyday and I feel that bullying needs to end. Every single person should have the right to be able to walk down the halls, talk to someone or sit some where and not have to be talked about in a negative way or be looked at like they are someone different than an average person.

What is a Public Service Announcement? If you don't know what it is, Google it. In your own words, now tell me what it is? What are they used for? Can you recall an example of a PSA you've seen before?

A Public Service Announcement is a slide show, or commercial that shows an important message and makes the viewer emotionally involved. They are used to show an important problem, or message, such as child abuse or child abuse.

Tell me about your three day weekend. How was it? What did you do? Elaborate!

This weekend I went to Denver. I went to Denver to visit my dad, and while we were there we had a Broncos watch party and barbecue. We watched the Broncos game and had lots of food, and it helped that the Broncos pulled through with the win and are now going to the Super Bowl. I also babysat a neighbor because her mom was having twins.

What have you learned about Google Drive and Google Presentation so far? What do you like about it? What problems have you run in to? Is it better than PowerPoint? Explain.

I have learned that Google Drive can be accessed on any computer as long as you use the same email, and have internet access. Anything you do on Google Drive is automatically saved, you don't have to worry about saving it or your computer crashing and not having to restart something. The only problem i have run into is importing pictures, it's easy to upload pictures, but you have to make sure you have the picture saved on your computer first. I don't find it to be better than Power Point, I prefer Google Drive. Google Drive is easier to access and is easier to work in general. I will probably not use Microsoft apps again any time soon now that I have found Google Drive.

"Images on the internet are 'free game' - if someone posted I should be able to use it."

I do not agree with the statement because the person posting the image probably didn't cite the image as someone else's image and then if you go and post the image people think it's your own image and it isn't your image until you cite it. You are basically taking credit for somebody else's image, and when we use something from a website we have to always cite it so the teacher and other people know that it is not our own work, so if we use someone else's word and have to cite it, then why is it okay to use someone else's image and say that it's okay?

What do you want to learn in the class the semester? What information do you want to walk away with that you didn't know before? Elaborate!

This semester in this class, I would like to learn how to better use how to set up papers and projects for the future. I would also like to learn how to use things on the computer in more depth. I don't know how to use and how to present everything on the computer so i would like to learn more so I can use it further in high school. I want to take away more knowledge to help me in the future.
