    People should visit my blog because it's a blog that is updated at least once a week, unlike other blogs they just make it and don't even bother to touch it. Another reason why people should visit my blog is because it's cool. My background is based on different brands I'm in to, and I know that a lot of people are too. My posts are well thought out and written unlike other people that don't know how to spell and like to show the whole world how they spell. My blog is a fun way to get information.My blog is colorful and eye catching. So everyone FOLLOW ME!

    Student Blog Challenge- Week 2

    This week's challenge was to create an avatar that represents you. My avatar looks nothing like me, besides the hair. The hair color, style and length is about right. The rest of my avatar isn't that accurate but it looks better than when I tried to make it based on how I actually looked, it made my avatar look weird. My avatar may not look much like me but it has my personality. I look quite and innocent, but I'm outgoing, talkative, picky, and smart. My avatar looks so friendly but in real life I naturally look like that but I'm not actually all that friendly. I'm a negative person, I tend to look at almost everything the wrong way or in other words I look towards the bad side instead of the positive side. I'm also mean to people , I like to mess with people and just have fun with it.

    Earthquake in Japan, Hawaii on Tsunami Watch!!



    OMG!!! There was just an 8.8 earthquake in Japan. Now Hawaii is under a tsunami watch :o until 3 am March 11. If a tsunami does it its estimated time is 2:59 am. I'm so scared there are tsunami waves heading our way!! The tsunami watch is highly likely to become a tsunami WARNING. Everybody be safe and get to higher land, so if you live near a beach get the hell out of there. Everyone turn the Tv on and watch the news. Stay updated. If you hear those sirens at midnight and you live on thecoast line of Hawaii get out of your house and move to a safer place. People start packing, water, clothes, canned food, and flashlights. Keep watching the TV or the radio and stay safe.

    Incorporating Technology in Class

               I think that incorporating technology in all classes is a good idea. Since many students are surrounded by technology new and old, they might be more familiar with the different applications and use of technology. Students may be able to get work done easier and faster then your average paper and pencil. 
               In Leadership we have different jobs everyday. One job we do is "Before the Bell" this is when we play music and say announcements. For this job we use speakers so that the music and announcements can be heard everywhere in the courtyard, ipods for music, and a mixer.Another job we do involves computers. We use this certain computer to make every student's ID. We also do a live broadcast every morning once school starts that is shown on the TVs in each classroom. The way we turn in assignments for leadership usually through computers. In leadership we use computers daily, so we're kind of use to the different applications and how the computer works. A way we turn in assignments is on our Google website and our Blogger. I think turning in work through computers is much more faster because I type a little faster then the way I write and if I ever need help I can go on Webgrader, Email, Facebook, or even Tumblr and ask for it, instead of not getting the work done at home because I don't understand something.
             In my other classes technology is hardly used. The only source of technology we use in my other classes is the ELMO and the lights. The ELMO is very useful for teachers and students, especially when the teacher teaches a lesson and it projects on to a big screen that everyone can see. I think that it's a waste to just let all the technology around us go to no use. Using the computers in other classes is a start to incorporate more technology in classes. Instead of writing essays maybe we can type them out so they are more neat. No printer, no worry. There's something called email that can be used to send your teachers your assignment. NO email, then plan b it is. Use a flash drive. Save your work on to the flash drive and put it on the computers at school. 
              As you have probably noticed almost everything we do has to deal with technology. So I think it would be a really good idea to start incorporating more technology in other classes besides our leadership classs.
