"I remember when"

In the video I Remember When what matters is how we have and can keep changing technology to make our world better. The video shows lots of young kids remembering times when technology wasn’t as advanced as it is today. they give examples like how you can now check your email, myspace, facebook, etc., without having to be at a computer, vs. when you actually did have to be at a computer. The kids in this video mention that they like it when we change the way the world works. when technology is improved and created, not only does it change the way we do things that already exist, like communicating or being entertained; but it also opens new windows for discoveries, communication, travel, new thinking, basically new everything. By creating new technology and sharing with the world we can do so much more then we can now.

Lost gernation

Friday in class we watched a video that showed a girl saying things like that she could never change the world, and that she didnt care about anything. then everything went backwards. and it turned out to say that she did care about everything and she would change the world. this relates a lot to the classroom and me because in order to change the world we have to get out there and do something about what it is we want changed. the video showed that change can work positively or it can make the world a worse place, we just have to decide which it is. this connects hugely which the world because it's about changing the world. and every person needs to do something about it. Even though things can take a negiative turn, i think that if we educate the people that are making it negative then they would correct what they are doings and make it better. We can't just sit around and wait for the world to change by itself, we have to change it. Be the change that you want to see in the world. :]]

3 Things

The three things in my house are my kitten, my stereo, and my bookshelf. My stereo is kind of out of date by like 7 years, but it still works great. It can play tapes, cd's, and the radio. It never goes off. It's on all the time, even when i'm not there. It's significance to me is that i love music and it provides music for me. :]
My second item, my kitten. Well she's actually not too much kitten anymore because she's grown a lot and now she's getting fat because i spoil her way to much. ;) she's black with a spot on her head, under her chin, all along her arm, the tip of her tail, and misalanious spots all over. She is darling. and i love her tons. I owned her mother when she was prego and i watched her and her 5 other siblings births. I have to say it was not pleasant. The last item on my list is my book case. I choose this because it holds all my books that i have read. and i love the books i have read. I love to read. I actually just returned ten books back to the library and checked out five more. I;m a bit of a book worm, as my friend Shannon says. :]

In the article Parker police bust man in Internet child sex sting from The Rocky Mountain News can relate to everybody.
The article talked about how a 47-year-old man from California was trying to have sex with an underage girl from Colorado. The cops caught him before he did anything. But i think that this is juat outragous. I have sat in many assemblies about how to stay safe online and not give out your information. It's scary how many people out there can find out your exact location just by a very small amount of information. This goes for everyone because you can't just trust someone because you want to. If you don't actually Know them then you shouldn't tell them things they shouldn't know. This shows how many sexual preditors are out there. The world is getting more high-tech each day so they technology to be found is also advancing each day. So kids all around the world need to be really, really careful of who they share information with. That goes for just about anywhere.

In the Nata Village blog "Hard at Work", they are teaching kids how to be hard workers at an early age. Childern in Botswana do house chores along with cattle post chores before and after school which teaches them how they can become good citizens. I connect to this because my parents have taught me since I was very young, to work hard at everything I do and do my chores. They've wanted me to do something great with my life and they taught me that I have to work for it to earn, it isn't just going to be handed to me. Just like most kids are their parents. Just a lot of the time, kids think that they are better then that, so they don't pay attention to it. But then later in their lifes they will regert it and have a harder time then other because they didn't pay attention to thier parents and elders. The kids in Botswana are going to be good, productive members of society because they learned to work hard at a young age.

In The Article, "Get. Off. Paper.", it talks about how we basically use paper everywhere. And how we shouldn't be using it when there are other reasources out there. I think that it's right because we can't be using paper for the rest of our lifes. Sooner or later there will be no paper to use. In the class room and everywhere else when we have other reasources then just paper, we should be using it, like a Word document or the simple notepad on the computer. It's just as easy and you can actually type faster and get more put down when your taking notes. And this is a really big affect on the word, because if we stopped using paper then we wouldn't have to cut down as many trees. So we wouldn't be destorying anymore rainforessest whish is a big thing.

I read "Teacher Sells Ads On Tests from 2 cents worth, by David Warlick. It says that companies will pay $10 to place an ad on a quiz, $20 for a chapter test, and $30 for a semester final. I think that that's a little outrageous, because when we're taking a test or quiz we're focused and then by seeing an advertisment on the paper we're reading or writing on, it would distract us. School is supposed to be a place where we find information and learn it. And even though that's not the case sometimes, if students are taking a test, i hardly think that they would want to find a ad for Monster on it. I know that i wouldn't. It's kind of hypocrital in a sorts. Like, we get into trouble for talking about something we saw on tv or something we saw in an advertisment, but then they put it on our tests. I just think that that's a little overboard. Some kids think that it's cool, but that's their oppion, and we're all objected to our own oppions.
