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

     I look up to my dad because he has had to get work hard to get to where he is. He had to pay his way through college. He got a cello scholarship to Mizzou, the best school ever, and passed his accounting test the second time he took it when most people don't pass it till their fourth or fifth time. He also has some pretty cool kids.

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


     I chose the issue of fracking. Which is a way to get to natural gas out of subsurface caverns. It is controversial because natural gas can leak through the sandstone under ground and cause fires and crops to die.

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

I solve the douche bag epidemic. People carrying their lanyards in there pockets, carrying your protein shake around, and wearing your tank top in the winter. We need to stop these people's bad life decisions now.

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?

    I know it means public service announcement. And its a bunch pictures with music and a voice over. They are used to tell you stuff like disasters or epidemics. Sometimes the point of it is to request money and aid. I think one is the ASPCA with all the animals that makes you cry. I think they are just announcements.

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

     I had quite a weekend. I had to write a forensics speech that is 7 minutes long. I spent about 5 hours writing it and only wrote a about five minutes worth. It is over old pirates and modern day pirates. I also worked everyday at the Jewish community center, it gets quite boring guarding by yourself for four hours. I also praticed presenting my all about me presentation.

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 already knew some stuff about Google Drive, because I had an AP Euro presentation on Google Drive. But what I didn't know is that you can make documents and other things in Google Drive. It is almost the Office Programs. I thought It was cool how it gives you some templates already.  It is also very cool that it is all free. It is much better than PowerPoint because I do noy have to pay any money.

Tell me if you agree with this statement and then explain why or why not. "Images on the internet are 'free game' - if someone posted I should be able to use it."

     Because I was in web design we a couple days talking about images. I know that all images are under copyright and you can only copy images that are specifically available for anyone to use. Any image you create is your intellectual property. You can get your butt sued if copy someone's image. You need to cite your image source, but even then you might not be able to use the image. So I don't agree with the statement.

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.

     I hoping to learn more about things that I can make presentations on like Prezi or Google Drive. I know I have to make lots of presentations throughout the school year, and if I could wow my teachers with my technology skill. I also would like to learn more about other presentation sites because I know about is Prezi, Powerpoint, and Google Drive. I want to walk out of this class with the ability to wow my teachers with my presentations.
