Social Media

Social media has been something that indeed has affected many changes thought life. For teaching it has also been very noticed. In good ways, as well as in bad ways. For good ways, now we have more technology, which helps teachers have more ways of teaching. For example, when we have a music class, it is better to be able to listen to the music and be able to compare the different types based on what we hear. That is obviously something that could have never happened a long time ago, when music was not available in that way. This also has a very down side to it, not all teachings have to be technological. Sometimes it is better that they are not. For example, in an English class, if we have to do an essay, it is a lot better if we do all the research and find what we need to know by books. Now a days, there are even pages where you can download an essay that another person has made. Also, it is very easy to find what you need to know for essays in five seconds.
Because of this, we as people have become very dependent on technology to do the things that we need to do ourselves. This changes the way teachers do their job. Now they have to be more on the look out of cheaters then they did before. This is very bad; I think that some schools should really cut out all the amount of technology they use. Obviously, in some places they don’t use that much technological help as in others because of the money they may have. I don’t doubt that if they could they would, which is very sad because we don’t need to be so dependant on technology to everything we need to get done by ourselves. Now teachers even have us use our computers to make projects, which makes us not use our creativity and study through books, now that makes teaching completely different.
All schools thought the world should come together and change the thought that computers and technology are used for everything. I think it is ok for school to have computer classes, but not use technology for every single thing. We should be shown how to use computers and technology for future reference, but we should not depend on it for every single thing we need it. Almost every single student that goes to a good school uses the computer more than one time a day rather than read a book. For example, in facebook, most people when they turn on the computer go directly to facebook instead of doing their homework. The social media has had a very big impact on the world of students and teachers.

The Tree I Chose

I chose this tree because I thought it was completely beautiful and big. It goes very well with how my family is, since my family is very big. The tree is also in very good quality which would make my family look so much better since it is a big and beautiful tree. It did take me a long time to pick out this tree since it was not at all easy to find, I did end up liking how the whole thing would look when I would be finished. I am very proud of the tree I chose, and would not change it for anything in the whole world. I definitely think that my tree is the best one, although Priscila has the same one, I think they are the best. I am amazingly proud of the tree I chose, since its beauty.

Family Tree

One reunion I remember I once had with my family was Christmas. We were all together having a wonderful time when all of a sudden we hear this scram coming from the backyard. I had no clue what it might have been. I just stayed in my seat as my dad and my uncles went outside to see what all the noise was coming from. I then got the courage to go outside and my little brother had burnt his finger with one of the small fireworks. My family is very exaggerating, so my grandparents all went crazy and called the local doctor to come over. After my brother got some medicine and a band aid on, we continued the party. That moment I remember feeling so good to have a family that loves me so much. I could tell that is that would have happened to me they would have reacted the same way. I am very grate full for having a big family.

Mr. Mark

What I think you should do is continue to go on with the class, use a normal soft voice that you would use if we weren’t talking. That way, those who are paying attention to what you are saying, will have no problem with the assignment. Also, that way whoever was not paying attention will come up to you and ask you what we have to do, since they weren’t listening. Then you would not tell them what to do since you already said the instructions and id their problem that they weren’t listening. This way the people who are interested in learning will understand the class, and wont have to be brought down by the disrespectful actions of the rest of the class. As well as those who were not paying attention will have no idea what to do. Also, you could quietly put names on the board of people you think don’t stop talking and they will lose, by knowing my class, I can tell you that we easily react when we are punished by losing marks. I am very sorry that the class was rude, and you did make us react to when you yelled at us. I hope these ideas help.

New at Blogger

I am very new to the blog world so i am having a hard time knowing what i am supposed to be doing. I have my neighbor to help me. Although, it is a very great way to express yourself, and i am definitely liking it. It was a lot easier than making my blog personalized. I definitely dont know anything about blogging, all i know is that many people use it A LOT! The FriendList assignment was very easy for me and i cant wait to learn more.
