Do Now

Yes, I think twitter and Instagram can be used for education. There are many things you can do for school with twitter and Instagram. If you follow your teachers they can post homework and projects on those apps. Us teenagers are always on twitter so it would be easier to just look at a tweet from or teacher then having to write everything down. Also we can use Instagram for our technology articles. We can put a picture or a video about you gadget and tag everyone in our class. So yes twitter and Instagram can be if good use for your education

 "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." ~Mahatma Gandhi

     I feel that may life goals can really contribute to the community because my goal is to be a pediatrician. Being a pediatrician can help the community because it helps little kids that are sick and I can help when they are in need. With the knowledge I have being a pediatrician I can help out in charities helping sick people everywhere. Gandhi is saying that if you want something to change in the world you have to do something. You can't just expect everything to get better, you have to contribute on making the world and your community a better place.

Philippines Typhoon
        I feel really bad for all the people that died in this huge tragedy. I feel bad for all the families of the people that died. People can go to the Philippines and help clean everything and help people that are wounded. I can't really do anything like that but i can bring awareness to what happened and get people to help. I can donated money to help people over there. So should many other people.

Wiki Research

1. I can use wiki research for my history class. In my history class I need to write essays with facts. I can get the facts off of wiki research.
2. The benefits of wiki is that you can collaborate with people. You can edit the pages easily and it is easy to organize things.
3. We can create one about the new technology gadgets and we can keep listing some because it is easy to edit. 
4. I don't have any experience with wiki research even though it can be very useful.

Invisible Cloak

     What would I do if I had an invisible cloak for a day? I would want to help people and be a hero. I would save people but they won't know who I am because I just want to save people, I don't need fame. I would be a hero that helps kids that get bullied. I would go to schools and kid hangout places.

     If I see a kid being bullied i would use my invisible cloak to pull the kid being bullied away from the bully. I would make the kid being bullied dodge all that hits and the bully would finally give up because he can't hurt the kid. Then i would do some things to scare the bully so he will learn his lesson and not mess with those kids again.

My class

     If I was a teacher I would want there to be a dance class. I think we can meet during a gym period. Instead of going to gym the students that want to dance can dance. It is active and fun so students would actually want to go to gym. Not all students have to dance only the people that want to. The others (like the boys) can stay in gym and play basketball.

    The dance class would be very fun. We can do different styles of dance like hip hop, jazz, tap, etc. We might even take trips to professional dance performances. We would learn different dance terms and we would have a test on the terms to see if the students learned. We can also do a class performance and see how much their dancing improved since the beginning of the year. As the students get older and become seniors the dance class would get harder and harder. I think the students would really like it.

Multimedia 9/16/13

        I really like my schedule this year but the one class that I'm really looking forward to is Medical Terminology. Mr. Maniscalco is the teacher and he is very good at it. Since his name is so long he lets me call him Mr.Man and when I call him that he has a joke that he calls me Ms.Woman. Mr.Man is very funny and he makes class fun. He is my favorite teacher this year.
        I don't only like Mr.Man i also like the class in general. When I get older I want to become a pediatrician and to become a doctor I need to know a lot about the body and about medicine. That is why Medical Terminology is a good class for me because it is a class about medicine and medical terms that we will need to know to become a doctor. The best part about that class is that if I pass the class I get 3 college credit to any college I want and that is very helpful for when I'm ready to go to college.
        I also have a lot of my friends in that class because most of my friends want to become doctors too. We barely do anything in that class because Mr.Man is always telling stories and we just sit there and talk. We do learn but the way Mr.Man teaches it really all fun and games. That's why I'm really looking forward to my Medical Terminology class.

9/11 due now

9/11/2001 was a very tragic day for many Americans. I don't remember what i was doing that day, I was probably in pre-school, but it was very sad and it affected us in many ways. Now every time we go to an airport we have to get check and scanned completely.  The security in many places has gone up since 9/11 because people feel we might get attacked again. People are scared of something that tragic happening again and they have a reason to be paranoid. 9/11 is very important to us Americans because it is a day of tragedy and we need to remember it.
