=**Atziri Reyes**= =**10/23/13**= []

Digital Access is full electronic participation in society. Not everyone has the same level of access; some have more and some have less. Some people choose to engage in technology more frequently than others, even to the point of excess. There different types of digital access. Videos have Technology overload. Discussion Questions- how many times a day do you get on? Users need to keep in mind that there are some that may have limited access, so other resources may need to be provided, to become productive citizens, we need to be committed to make sure that no one is denied digital access.

How many times a day do I get on what? The internet? I get on the internet at least five times. Four of the times are for school work, the fifth is to get on Facebook or something for a few minutes. -Brandy.

I get on the internet like 6 times a day or even more. I get on just to do work on sometimes get on other websites. -Maria

I get on the internet about 5 times a day, mainly for school and then I like to spend time on social media. -Quatirra

Digital Commerce:

Digital Commerce is buying and or selling items. Everyone, especially technology users need to understand that a large part of market economy is being done electronically. Toys, cars, food, clothes, health care products, and much more are being sold through the internet. Lots of people are turning to the internet to buy their things they need or need for their house, cars, or anything else. However, ones buying and selling over the internet need to be aware of the issues associated with internet purchases.

Discussion Question:

How do you feel technology has impacted the items we buy? Do you think it is a good or bad thing? Should there be changes made?

Technology has impacted the items we buy by not making anyone go to the store and buying it. For some people it's easier to buy it online because they find it easier to look for something. It could be a good thing because you don't have to go shopping and waste your gas and they can also deliver what you bought online without you picking it up. It could also be a bad thing because when you buy something you won't know if it will fit you or not. If there were changes made i'm not sure what kind of changes there would be. -Maria

Technology you could say has been a big impact in the world of shopping. I say this because if you think about it we do not have to wait in line at the store if we buy it online. However it might be good to shop online it is also i bad thing because the site might be a fake or its not what you thought it was.-Amanda Adams

Technology has impacted what we buy and how we buy them. We can buy stuff online now, so it's making people not have to go out to a store. I think it's a bad thing because it's making people lazier, but still, it's a good thing in convenience. I think that people should use online shopping more wisely and not go so far as buying groceries online (which you can do now.) - Brittany Harrah

Atziri Reyes: Technology has impacted what we buy because some people are to lazy to get up and buy it. So they rather buy it online so they wont have to move.

<span style="color: #ff00ca; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 250%; line-height: 1.5;">Tiffany Powers: I feel like it is easier to buy things online then it is to go to the store for them. You might have to wait for shipping and pay a little more but if it is not something that you need right away then it is good. I dont buy many clothes online because I like to try on my clothes but other than that I like to buy the rest of my things online. It is just easier and doesnt take much time.

<span style="color: #ff00ca; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 250%; line-height: 1.5;">Quatirra Johnson: Technology has impacted the way we buy things in a huge way. Now a days you can go online and shop instead of going to a busy mall and trying to ride a parking spot. It saves people a bunch of time! In my opinion it's a good thing. The only changes I think should be made is that it should be safe to buy online without worrying what will happen to your items or credit card.

Dynasty : Technology has impacted the way we buy things in a huge way. Now We can By whatever we want online Without Leaving The Comfort Of Our Home .It Saves Everybody A Buunch Of Time.

Cloie Langdon: Technology has impacted the items we buy because it is much easier to order something online and have it delivered to your home than having to go to a store. In some ways it is a good thing and has benefits but on the other hand...it can be viewed as laziness.

Through advancements in technology, making all sorts of purchases has become much easier. Now rather than having to drive all the way to a store to buy a new pair of pants, one can place a quick order online and within a week they will have their new item. Buying items online is a great alternative to shopping for people with busy schedules. - Denton

= DIGITAL COMMUNICATION: = === Digital Communication is the electronic exchange of information. In the 19th century there were very few forms of communication. Now in the 21st century there are many forms of communication, like e-mail, cell phones, instant messaging and more! All these different forms of communication have changed everything because now it is easier for people to constantly keep in touch with others. Digital Communication also gives anyone, anywhere, anytime the opportunity to communicate with others. ===

= DISCUSSION QUESTION: =

How has Digital Communication changed from the 19th century to the 21st century? Can you think of any other examples besides the ones listed?
==== Tiffany Powers: The way computers work all together has changed. Also the way people stay in contact because back in the day it took days sometimes months to hear back from someone but now you can know within 3 mins and change your plans like that. ====

Brittany Harrah: Computers and technology have changed our lives immensely. Everything is so sudden. Instead of snail mail you can just send an email and it's instant. It's a bad thing, though, because now people are losing their communication skills.

Amanda Adams: You could say that digital communication has changed over the years because one we have iPhone's that can do almost anything with communication. We have more digital stuff now that makes it easier to talk to someone.

Denton Richey - In the past century, both computers and cell phones have been invented. These two items alone have completely reconfigured digital communication. One hundred years ago, or even fifty years ago, the only real forms of communication were phone calls and hand written letters. Now with the use of text messages and emails, a message can be delivered in just seconds.

Quatirra Johnson: From the 19th century to the 21st digital communication has increased a whole lot! Like the illustration below we can see how we went from writing on rocks, to typing on computers. Digital communication has made it easy for us to communicate with others since the 19th century. Some of the other types of digital communicant is Ipads, tablets, social media and lots more.

Atziri Reyes- Digital Communication has changed the world big time because before people would have to send a letter in a bottle but now they can just email each other in 2 minutes.The social media is a big part, they help us communicate and find friends we haven't spoke to.

Brandy: From the 19th century to the 21st century digital communication has expanded greatly. We can now communicate anywhere, anytime, no matter where we are, if we have the right technology around us. We can communicate through several things.! Laptops are a huge form of communication! We have Skype, ooVoo, Facebook call, and much more!

Maria: Digital Communication has changed so much. It has changed in many different ways including our technology. I'm sure in the 19th century we had a different view about technology. We were lucky back then if we had a cellphone to be able to communicate with others. Now we have more than just a cellphone as a way to communicate with other people. Besides cellphones we also have computers and cars. In the 19th century to be able to go to other places people would take a horse but now we take a car because it's faster.

Dynasty -Digital communication has made it easy for us to communicate with others since the 19th century. The social media is a big part, they help us communicate and find friends we haven't spoke to. Plus you get to see and do different things online now to help you communicate better. We Like to be on the internet especially us as teenagers. We love talking to our friends and being informed on the latest.

 * __ Digital Literacy __**

Technology has changed in many different ways and it depends on some people how they use it and what they learn from it. Digital citizenship is a new way to teach people new skills. New technology such as Wiki has been used in workplaces rather than in schools. Technology needs skills to be worked on. Some workers from different companies need information on how to work with technology. In business, military and medicine the technology has been used differently. As we find new technology, learners need to know how to use it quickly and appropriately.

How do you think technology has change? or what's your point of view about technology?

__Tiffany Powers:__ Technology has changed a lot since it first started. I was born in the time period where we were brought up on technology. I have never had to get used to the idea of learning new things about technology. I feel everyone needs technology because the world we live in today, you can not do anything without it being connected technology.

Technology has changed tremendously! It's went from type writers to computers, to laptops. We have everything we need. Whenever we need it. I think technology is taking about basic life skills. We should learn how to write, do hands on project, math on paper, and much more. -Brandy.

Technology has changed a lot over the years. Computers used to be the size of a small room, and now we have portable computers with as small as 7" screens. I like the advancing technology for the convenience, but some people let technology take over their lives which isn't healthy; physically or mentally.- Brittany Harrah

Technology has been updated over the years because in 1939 we had that big computer called HP 200A Audio Oscillato amd now we have laptops, ipads,iphones, ipods, and other technology items. To be honest just like our high school students do not need computers to do class work because the rate of GPAs have droped from using computers. Even though technology is now a way of life and helps us get information or talk to someone it is still trouble for the human mind.- Amanda Adams

Quatirra Johnson: Over the years technology has improved making things easier for people to do. I enjoy technology because it's a fast and easy way to get things done.

Technology has changed drastically, especially in the past few decades. Computers have gone from suitcase sized monitors to laptop computers less than an inch thick. Cell phones have also become much more prominent in society. They used to be the size of bricks, and only wealthy people carried them. Now practically everybody has a cell phone, and they spend hours a day on them. - Denton Richey

Technology has changed a lot over the past years. Computers have gone from being huge to small and easy to carry around. Cell phones have gone from having to be carried in bags to being able to carry them in pockets. Now instead of having to go to the store and buy a book you can simply download it to a Kindle, Nook or iPad.

Dynasty - It has affected everything and the way we do things now a days it makes it a lot easier to deal with and to find out new things. Just by looking it up online makes it more convenient.

Atziri- Technology has became easier, ipad's help organize and are faster then doing it yourself. We forgot to write letters instead of sending them because its easier to get up to the computer than getting up to go to the mail. We depend on technology.

Discussion Question: How should people act online? Why is it different from their offline behaviors?
Brittany Harrah: People should act different online than they do offline because as soon as something gets on the internet, it doesn't come off. You can delete stuff all you want, but that doesn't mean that everyone didn't see it or save it to their phone or repost it somewhere else. It's different from their offline behaviors because potential job managers can look at your facebook or twitter to find out what kind of person you are and then they see all the things you do but if you do things just out with your friends it's stuff they'll never see. Not that that's a positive way of thinking about it.

Only if people could act like they should online because then people wouldn't start drama. However just like Myspace,Facebook, and twitter people like to be hateful or nasty. People should act and behave the right way by treating people nicely online; which means no hateful words to someone you dont like or say your going to hurt them becuase thats not why people design the internet. Also just like in our high school there are people who are nice offline but a jerk online. There is even people you wouldnt think did bad things till you saw something like her taking pictures that she shouldnt be taking and then people find out. People have two sides one online and one offline because people can not express face to face so they exress online. - Amanda Adams

Quatirra Johnson: Online people should treat others just as they would offline. It's typically different from offline behaviors because people become brave behind a computer screen. When your not face to face you become braver because you get a chance to think about what your going to say, then say it. In person you have to have an automatic answer which is tougher.

Denton Richey: Online behavior should be a direct reflection on a person's actions off of the internet. Often times, however, people tend to act differently on the internet because the internet makes it so easy to be someone other than yourself. People can be much more destructive while sitting behind a computer screen when it comes to bullying, but the computer can also help kids to have a sense of confidence.

People should be more careful online! Offline if we do something we can quickly cover it up. But if we post something on the internet it is there to stay. Also, people should lower their egos on the computer, because once they get online they feel much more braver. -Brandy.

People should have a good behavior on and offline. You don't have to hide behind a screen just to be rude to others. If you would want others to treat you the same then you should start by being a change in your society. People who use a mean and nasty behavior online probably has a different behavior offline with other kids or adults.- Maria

Cloie Langdon: People should be respectful online and not say rude and disrespectful things to others. People's behavior can be different online than it is offline because sitting behind a computer makes it easier for people to be different than when they are offline.

Dynasty - People should be respectful online, and more careful online. Online people should treat others just as they would offline. Its important to act the same because your character means the same online and offline.

Atziri- People need to be careful with what they say online and offline. If your trying to be rude don't do it behind the screen because it wont fix anything. People who are mean online can probably be the same or differently offline.

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Digital law deals with all sorts of theft, crime, or other unethical uses of technology. However, all of the ethical uses of technology are what set the standards of digital laws. There are tons of different crimes that can be committed through unethical uses of technology. Among these crimes are: hacking, illegally downloading music, plagiarizing, creating viruses, sending spam, and stealing anyone's identity. These digital laws can be broken by anyone, those who use technology for work and to play.

media type="custom" key="24189610" align="center"

Discussion Question: How can unethical digital crimes such as plagiarism, downloading illegal music, or sending spam have a negative effect on a person? In other words, why are these things illegal? __ Tiffany Powers: __ Unethical digital crimes can effect people because if you commit these crimes they can send you to prison, or you would have to pay money for the crime that you commited. These things are illegal because someone took their time to create these things and you are telling people that you created these things when in reality you only copied them.

Quatirra Johnson: Unethical digital crimes can have an effect on a person's life because it can get them either sent to prison, or sued from the person who's work they stole. These things are illegal because someone put their hard work into something and it wouldn't be fair for someone else to claim it as theirs.

Unethical crimes can have a negative effect on a person, because they can turn on them. For example, if one decides to plagiarize in college they can be expelled. When one downloads music illegally it is considered stealing. One can be charged, even sued for committing an unethical digital crime. -Brandy.

Unethical digital crimes can have a negative effect on a person because it will make them start doing other illegal things without thinking about the consequences. People who do this only think about the good for themselves, they don't think about the harm that they are causing to other people. -Maria

Unethical digital crimes could be a negative effect on a person because a person can do one bad thing and might now be able to stop doing stuff they shouldn't. they can get into a lot of trouble too where it could hurt there future.- Amanda Adams

Cloie Langdon: Unethical crimes can have a negative effect on a person because if this person gets caught it can ruin their future. Things like plagiarizing and downloading music illegally are illegal because it is not right for someone to put a lot of hard work into something just for it to be stolen. Dynasty -

Atziri Reyes- Unethical crimes can have a bad side because if they get caught they might end up in jail or get into so much trouble. Stealing someones works isnt right and its illegal because its not right.

==__**Discussion questions:(**__ what are some examples of digital rights that will help people? __**)**__==

People have the right to change passwords and say what they want on their own pages. -Brittany Harrah

Quatirra Johnson: People have the right to post what they want, as long as they aren't interfering with someone else's rights.

Denton Richey - Every person has the right to privacy, free speech, and all of the rights listed in the Bill of Rights.

People have the right to do as they please as long as they are causing no harm or being a bully. -Brandy.

People have the freedom to go and use the internet how they want but they could also keep in mind about the consequences if they start doing the wrong - Maria

Cloie Langdon: Examples of digital rights that help people are being able to control what information they put on a website and what everyone and sometimes what certain people can see.

Atziri Reyes-Everybody has the right to be heard, you have responsibility to site the sources, and the thing you say on the internet cause some can be mean to others.

Brittany Harrah
====<span style="font-family: Cambria,serif;">As someone who uses the internet, you have responsibilities. You have to know what to watch out for, and what to do when something goes wrong. If you see someone doing something wrong on any social networking, then report it. If you're writing a report, you have to be sure to cite your sources. If you're downloading music, make sure you're actually buying it and it's not from an illegal downloading website. Doing this is the same thing as stealing. You need to protect your personal data and change your passwords frequently. You're also not allowed to use another name when you're on a social networking site; you need to have your own name and own pictures. As teenagers, we use sites like Facebook and Twitter all the time; it's just how we talk and keep track of how each other are doing, but while we're on those sites, we need to remain safe. The digital responsibilities list will help you to do that if you abide by the rules. ====

**<span style="font-family: Cambria,serif;">What could you do to help be more responsible on the internet? **
====To be more responsible on the internet I can change my passwords more often, always pay for music or videos, and keep everything private so people can not take my information. -Brandy.====

Being responsible on the internet is just as important as being responsible in school or at work. One way I could be more responsible on the internet to to always pay for music and videos that I download. -Denton Richey

To be more responsible you have to make sure you are on the right websites and make sure you change your password once in awhile. Also like on facebook you should make your page private.- Amanda Adams

Atziri Reyes: Make sure you are who you say you are not trying to be someone else. Don't download music or picture with permission.

====Quatirra Johnson: To become more responsible make sure no one has your password. Don't download things illegally, and make sure you read the policies to a website before you agree with the terms.====

Being responsible on the internet is keeping everything secured and saving your work on a flash-drive. Do not post things you wouldn't want people to know or see. -Maria

Cloie Langdon: To be more responsible on the internet I could change my passwords more frequently, pay for music and cite sources when writing a paper.

Dynasty My element was about your digital health & wellness. Eye safety, repetitive stress syndrome , and sound ergonomic practices are issues that need to be addressed in a new technological world. Psychological issues are becoming more relevant in the amount of internet addition. Digital Citizenship includes a culture where technology users are taught how to protect themselves through education and training.


 * DISCUSSION QUESTION: ****What Way Do You Do To Have Digital Health And Wellness ?**

Quatirra Johnson: You need to eat healthy, have a good rest, sit up straight, relax, and smile.

Amanda Adams- I know from my experience that you need to take breaks away from the computer becuase it can hurt your neck and eyes. Also people should be on the computer or phones all day because it is not heathy. Need to move around more so your body doesnt start to feel pain.

One needs to sit straight at a computer and make sure they take breaks in between sitting at a computer for long periods of time. -Brandy.

People need to relax, take a few breaks from the computer and you could also eat some snacks. -Maria

Atziri- You have to take some breaks and get rest, eat right and dont be so stuck on to the computer.

Denton Richey - An important part of digital health and wellness is posture. If when sitting at a computer, if one slumps they will end up having back and neck problems.

Cloie Langdon: You need to always have proper posture, take breaks if you are on the computer for a long period of time and rest well.

10/21/13 The topic I was given is digital security. It's pretty self explanatory, it's about securing your digital work. You wouldn't want a robber to come in your house and steal all of your things, neither would you invite a robber in to take your things. The same concept is with digital media. You don't want any virus's, you need to back up your work, and keep your things secure or in other words digital security.

Not having digital security could get my bank accounts hacked or something and people could steal my personal information. -Brittany
 * DISCUSSION QUESTION: HOW CAN NOT HAVING DIGITAL SECURITY EFFECT YOU?**

Atziri- You can give away your information when your not suppose to or to someone you don't know. They can try to just harm you!

By not having digital security I could have any of my personal information stolen, One could then pretend to be me. I could have a lot of things stolen. -Brandy.

With the lack of digital security, a lot of personal information could be accessed by nearly anyone. If someone wanted to, they could steal money out of a person's bank account just by using a computer. It is important to keep your information secure. - Denton

If you do not have Digital Security you could have people copy some of your work and use it for their own advantage. - Maria

Cloie Langdon: If there was no digital security it would make it easier for anyone to hack into my accounts, steal my work and steal any personal information.



__**January 11, 2013**__



and one for the Hunger Games...

 * __December 12, 2012__**

__My thoughts on Statement 1: //Steal like an artist.//__

At first glance, I thought this piece of advice was meant to be sneaky. Someone should steal like someone who has gotten away with it for a long time. An infamous robber, notorious members of the mafia, people who commit crimes but seem to never get caught, those are the types of people that popped into my head. As I read on, I realized that the author is trying to relate to the readers that stealing is for everyone, everyone does it, and it's nothing to be ashamed of. He explains that we are basically remixed copies of our parents. The author claims that everyone is a mashup of the things they allow their lives. We are all products of influence. It is important to be selective in what you steal, but also be selective in what you let in your life. If we truly are mashups of the influences in our lives, who or what are you representing every day? By selecting our influences based on our moral values, we can ensure to present the right image of ourselves and the products we produce as choosy stealers. He describes how exactly to steal: "Figure out what's worth stealing, move on to the next thing". Is your personality and character one to steal? Do you provide others with an uplifting atmosphere and aura that would make you an irresistible steal? If not, it might be time for you to check your sources.

1. The statement "Steal like an artist" means that you should take and collaborate ideas from credible sources to produce a product of a mashup of great ideas. The author makes it sound like it is something that everyone does, even subconsciously. Every story we write has been influenced by every other piece of literature we have studied.

2. "Nothing is original" means that everything we create has been influenced. By researching and critiquing the work of others, our brain knows what works and what does not. We have the ability to create something else based on the successes and failures of others. Nothing is original; it is shaped by millions of experiences.

3. Our job is to collect ideas and read everything. By reading, we learn to articulate our speech into an eloquent ballad of vocabulary in combination with straightforward dialect.

4. Other than reading, you can watch the news and become an informed chooser. By keeping up with the media and pressing news, you advance your knowledge on the world and can be influenced by the issues that matter the most.

Rule 2 is “Don’t wait until you know who you are to make things”. The author said that you don’t need to know who you are to be creative. Nobody really knows what they’re doing, they just do what feels right; and that’s how great creations are made. He told a story about how two friends moved to New York to learn to be artists. They learned to be artists by pretending to be artists.

Rule 3 is “Write the book you want to read”. In my graduation project, it was important for me to persue a topic that //interests// me, not something I know a lot about. I loved my project. I believe that your senior project is what you make it to be. Total, I had 36 hours. I couldn’t get enough. I kept returning to the zoo to work every day with the harbor seals. I loved it and I can’t wait to persue a career and my major in zoology.

Rule 4 is “Use your hands.” Your hands are the original digital devices. I completely agree with this. I had an assignment in Mrs. Ward’s class where I had to write about a time where I felt an emotion to the extreme. We had to handwrite it. It was so eloquently written, but was still very real and personal. My best work is always done when I can write it out.

Rule 5 is about hobbies. It’s important to have a hobby in the midst of your busy life. Hobbies are where the magic happens and you can experience happiness. The secret is to do good work, the put it where people can see it. It’s okay to have failures, but you learn from them and get better.

Rule 6 says to always put stuff where everyone can see it: the internet. He says that you will never find a captive audience, not because everyone is mean and cruel, but people are busy. The author provides us with a two step process: do good work, and put it where people can see it. It is imperative that creators take advantage of the internet. Rule 7 says that geography is no longer our master. He claims that 90% of his peers don't like where they live, so they live on the internet. Truer words have never been spoken. When people are unhappy or uncomfortable with their surroundings, they immediately turn to their smart phone to give them satisfaction. It's unbelievable, our habits these days. Rule 8 is my favorite rule of all: Be nice, the world is a small town. The best way to get rid of your enemies is to ignore them, and the best way to make friends on the internet is to say nice things about them. My case for my iPhone says "kindness matters". It is an important reminder to always act kinder than you feel. It's my mantra. Rule 9 teaches us to be boring because it's the only way to get work done. The author advices us to take care of ourselves, stay out of debt, get a day job and keep it, and get yourself a calendar. In order to get things done, you must have a schedule and don't be too wild with important and lifechanging decisions. He claims that the most important decision you will ever make is who you marry. The person you marry is not only the person you will spend the rest of your life with, but the person you will do business with, your best friend, and who you choose to be around. Rule 10 states that creativity is subtraction. The author says "Devoting yourself to something means shutting out other things". What makes a person fascinating is what they haven't experienced just as much as what they have. "Creativity isn't just the things we choose to put it, its also things we choose to leave out."

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">In the world today, so many things are offered to children pre-imagined. The video games they play, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">the movies they watch, is all so intricately detailed, leaving no room for the young imagination to grow. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Often, we forget about the greatest weapon in the classic arsenal of learning: children’s books. Children’s <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">books are such a valuable tool in young learners because it allows the mind to explore the realms of an <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">unknown world and apply the valuable lessons introduced in the story to any situation they dream.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Children’s books are so often overlooked because the ideas they offer are so simple. “Don’t steal” <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">and “be nice” are such simple lessons that adults do not understand the power that these lessons have. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Someone once said, “Everything I know I learned from children’s books”. Courtesy and not stealing <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">are important life lessons that promote productive citizenship in one’s country and keep that country <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">running smoothly.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">The first books that children fall in love with are children’s books. These books promote reading and <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">unlock the magic behind the intriguing façade on the cover. Readers become learners, learners become <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">contributors. Children’s books are the only books that offer a close bond with another person. As a child <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">sits on their parent’s lap, grandparent’s lap, generations collide, lessons are learned, and bonds are made.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">The shortness of these books are ideal for teaching important lessons and getting a point across to the <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">reader. They are presented in a way that is impossible to be misunderstood. If you are interested in a <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">difficult or complicated topic, like global warming, go to a children’s book. Behind the enchantment and <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">magical colors lies important topics discussed and lessons learned.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; text-align: left;">Children’s books are such a valuable tool in young learners because it allows the mind to explore the realms of an unknown world and apply the valuable lessons introduced in the story to any situation they dream. Since our world is already imagined for us, it is important to keep the classic way of learning still evident in our lives.

__StoryBird__ [] __**October 15, 2012**__ __Study Sites__ Based on the AHS Library Media Center LiveBinder sites that were provided for me, I liked FreshBrain. I liked it because it allows you to create games based on your study material and really interact and learn your material. I also enjoyed Study Spanish, mainly because I love Spanish. I could use this in my AP Spanish class right now, and use it as a reference when I get confused. Lastly, I liked Study Vibe because it shows you what to do when you need to study. I would recommend any of these sites to my friends, and I could use them in my personal life.
 * __November 9, 2012__**

__**October 8, 2012**__ __StumbleUpon__ I think StumbleUpon is a great tool to use to be more educated on topics of today and to confine your search to be more specific to your interests. Social bookmarking is a great way to get involved in the online community and share thoughts and opinions. StumbleUpon can be used for research current topics and trends. I found a very interesting[| article about habits]. I would definitely recommend StumbleUpon to anyone. During my sophomore year, it was the only website I went on for a while. I love StumbleUpon!

__Social Media__

I found it interesting that students that use Twitter in classes, their average went up half a grade point. I completely agree with the fact that students that use Facebook while studying see their grades drop by 20%. Also, 25% of students show signs of depression in their Facebook updates. "Students are staying current with news and social media; and if they unplug, it hurts".

__Social Bookmarking__

//Definition:// Social bookmarking is a way for internet users to organize, flag, store, and manage all of their resources online.

//Delicious// is a website that you can save, sort, and search through your own personal collection of links and find new websites from people who share your same interests. //Reddit// is an outlet you can use to find what is new and popular online. The homepage provides you with links to several odd photos and articles. //StumbleUpon// gives you a way to explore the internet based on your favorite topics. You can "like" the pages you wish to bookmark, and they are saved onto your personal page. //Diigo// is a website that provides you with tons of links without the need to provide your personal information. //Digg// is a social bookmarking website for news. Users can vote on their favorites and bring the most pressing issues to the top. //Newsvine// is similar to //Digg// in that it is a social bookmarking website for news, but //Newsvine// provides you with community based news.

__How to Improve your Social Media Safety__ I liked the point about not complaining. It is important not to complain about your authorities on a social media site because they can access your profile very easily. Also, it is important to stay off of the internet when you are under the influence. I've heard of apps you can get on your smart phone that will lock your phone from social media sites and texting certain people in the duration of your intoxication, because saying something when you are drunk or high can lead to serious regret and broken relationships. _

__Digital Citizenship- appropriate behavior with regard to technology use.__

__Digital security is a major issue in society today. Some privacy is being compromised without prior notice on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, or Kik. Identity theft can also occur with technology use. It is important to protect yourself and your information by taking the proper precautions while interacting over the internet. One should have virus protection, a back up means of storage, and should change their password often. It is important to keep yourself and others safe while using technology.__

Rule 6 is about The secret to do good and put it where people can see it. This means that when you work on something great, you worked hard and did a great job on it, you would want everyone to see it and to do so you would have to put it on the internet or other public areas. This is where people can see the good work you have accomplished. And when people like it they will want to ask you how you did that and there, that's when you start giving away your secrets but once you do you never know you might get a reward for that.
 * Dec. 14.2012**
 * Rule#5 & 6-** Rule 5 talks about how side project and hobbies are important I think this means that when you are going to work on a project or go for a hobby for whatever topic you are working on, you should go ahead and try it because you never know you might like it until you try it. And if you do there is more out there than you expected. Therefore you should go for an experience and see if you like it or not.

Rule 4: Your hands are the digital devices. I agree with this because whatever digital device you use whether it's a phone, laptop, program, iPad, game, musical instument, you use your hands to make those work because those devices don't use them their self. You have to be the one with the idea, creativity, and knowlegde to make it happen and go further.
 * Dec. 12.2012**
 * Rule 2** says Don't wait until you know who you are to make things. To me this means that if you don't try something new or something that you are interested in you never know you just might like it and be good at it if you give it a try. I apply this rule to my graduation project because, In my interest I'm doing hair stylist. I was and still am very interested in it I want d to do some hands on and when I gave it a try I was actually good at it and I like it even more because the mentor would give me feedback telling me I was like no other she had, that I was creative, excited, and liked doing this. I guess that rule 2 is true. That you will know who you are when you try it for yourself.

12.10.12 Rule #1 says to steal like an artist- I think it means when a person would ask you where you get ideas to make something look and develop you would tell them that you stold those ideas to make something out of it. I agree to this because if you did not come up with anything or you wanted to make something look or seem better you would take those ideas and use them to come up with new developments. I think that "Nothing is original" means that nothing is original most likely everything is copied from one form to another. What was once original is now something else. Kleon says that your job is to make something out of those ideas and come up with something that no one has ever came up with that will make life easier. You can also collect your ideas by coming up with your own, if you're creative enough you're very thinkful then you can comeup with something new.

Childrens picture books are important to many children. These books fill their mind with so much imagination and adventure in their own little world. It helps them develop new meanings and understandings about what's going on. Most of the time children spend too much time doing other things that don't help them learn about the new things. That is why there is a picture book to make their story more interesting and more fun. It allows them to explore more and find our for themselves on what's going on. The picture books are filled with great illustrations and are designed with many pictures of humans, animals, naturalistic, adventurous, and exciting. It allows them to get an opportunity to \ook and see and for them to be creative as well. It can also be great for them when they want a bedtime story and when they fall in love with the picture books they want to read more and more and this helps them improve their word pronouciation and grammer skills. and also to become a great reader. It can help them become good yound readers when they spend most of their times reading and looking through pictures in the book. And they can be very interested in them and creative about it, that would get them to want to read more and more so that they can become great readers and also be more focused on the things that they like to do other that spend too much time playing video games and sitting around doing nothing but that's why it is so important for them.

Social Media such as facebook& twitter, has a good & a bad. Twitter enables students to collaborate well with others. Facebook, lowers grades and some students do not believe in this. Getting on facebook can get you involved in particular activites outside of the world. But Getting off facebook can make you make more mony because you'renot using it, you spend more time out looking for a job. In the other hand social media can be addicting. Another thing is that students don't know that they spend too much time on there, and that they need to study more and get involved in the outside world. On the banned books some of the books that I am familiar with are, Bridge to Terabithia, Scary Stories, and Mice and men. They’re one of the banned books of celebrating 30 years of literature. Each year from 1982-2012 one book is looked over or challenged in that year to share the collection to the readers.

<span style="color: #000019; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 12px;">In 1971 the first E-mail was used by computers next to each other. Now E-mailing works anywhere and anytime. There are some good things about Social Networks such as Facebook, twitter, Tumbler, YouTube, and study habits. Using too much of Facebook takes away students time for studying, and that drops their grades down to an F. Learning something about other networks in less time can help students learn more about something and improve their esteem and curricular activities.

<span style="color: #000019; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 12px;">Is like an exchange of information when you are communicating with someone.

__** Statement 10: Creativity is Subtraction 12.19.12 **__ Creativity is subtraction says that being creative isn't what you include in the art; it’s what you don’t include that makes it so interesting. The people who figure out what to include and not include are the people who will go far. Because they will have more time to focus on what is important and not on what isn't. Being creative doesn't mean what you've experienced; it’s what you haven’t experienced yet. Leaving things out will leave the audience wondering, what you were thinking will creating your art.

__** Statement 9: Be Boring [It's The Only Way To Get Work Done] 12.19.12 **__ Be boring states that the only way to get work done is to be boring. Have a normal family and live in a quiet neighborhood. Everybody thinks that going out and drinking is the way artist create their work, but in reality that’s not even close to being it. Kleon says that being an artist takes a lot of work and time. You can’t create art if you’re wasting your time on other stuff. Kleon recommends that you get a calendar or a logbook and write down everything you do. At first if want seem like much but after a couple of years it is like a novel. Keeping a calendar or logbook helps you keep organized.

__** Statement 8: Be Nice. The World is a Small Town. 12.19.12 **__ Be nice, the world is a small town is about Kleon talking about how to make friends you have to be nice. The world is very small so if somebody says something about you, you will eventually find out about it. If you’re on the internet and somebody says something mean about you. Then the best thing for you to do is ignore it and move on. Don’t pay attention to it because you’re giving the person who talked bad about you the satisfaction to know you care. And the best way to make friends on the internet is to be kind. Now in days if you’re kind you will usually get something good out of it. And I definitely agree if somebody is kind and has a good personality then I will talk to them and be friends.

__** Statement 7: Geography is No Longer Our Master 12.18.12 **__ Geography is no longer our master is about a boy who all we wanted to do was move away from Southern Ohio. When he grew up he finally moved away from Ohio and moved to Austin, Texas. Life in Austin is not how he imagined it would be. Now that he’s there he says that all his friends and mentors are online. They don’t even live in Austin, Texas. All he wanted to do was be outside in the Texas environment. Now that he’s there, he doesn't even go outside he spends most of his time on the internet. It’s funny how life works because even though you’re in a beautiful place it doesn't matter because all you want to do is be on the internet.

__** Statement 6: The Secret: Do Good Work, Then Put It Where People Can See It 12.13.12 **__ Rule six is about doing good work and putting it where people can see it. A lot of people would email Kleon asking him if he knew how they could get an audience. Kleon best answer every time was to make something and put it where people can see it. The hardest part is to make something that would grab people’s attention, then after that just find a way to put it on the internet. You can do that by making a website, or a blog, or if you have a twitter. Put first you have to wonder about things people don’t wonder about. So that after that you can get them to wonder about it with you. Share your ideas with them and then you have an audience. Artist can tell you their secrets because there’s nothing against it. Because like before artist get their ideas by stealing them from others. __** Statement 5: Side Projects And Hobbies Are Important 12.13.12 **__ The fifth rule mentions that you should allow yourself time to play around and take a break. You never know what you can discover about yourself unless you give yourself that freedom. Kleon discovered the blackout poems because he gave himself time to mess around. If he would have concentrated on writing short fiction he would have never figured out blackout poems. It’s good to have a hobby and enjoy it with your friends. It gives you time to free your mind and relax, get away from stuff. So that you don’t get caught up and feel like it’s too much to handle. Plus by having a hobby you might be able to figure out some type of talent you have. __** Statement 4: Use Your Hands 12.13.12 **__ Our digital device is our hands meaning that you will do your best work by using your hands. Kleon said that when he was in college all his papers had to be typed and they always turned out terrible. It wasn't until he start to write them down on paper that it started to feel like he could understand his assignment and actually do it right. I would agree with him because when I have to take notes on my computer I don’t learn anything I’m basically just coping it and not remembering my notes. But, when I have to write them down on paper I understand them and feel like I’m actually learning. And this would affect my daily life because we use our computers every day and we do almost all our work on there. By using your computer you get distracted and don’t try your best to do your work. But when you’re doing your work on paper, you focus and understand the assignments.

__** Statement 3: Write The Book You Want To Read 12.13.12 **__ Kleon talks about how when he was little he went to see Jurassic Park and after that he imaged the squeal to it. I few years later the actually squeal came out and he hated it. He thought his own squeal was ten times better. Then he went on to talk about how when you’re writing something you should write something you like. Not something typical and predictable, show your ideas and your point of view. That’s what people want to see, and that will actually grab the reader’s attention. For applying this to your graduation project I guess it means do something you find interesting and that you like. Not something that people have done year after year. You want to do something that you will enjoy doing, and will interest people to pay attention to you.

__** Statement 2: Don't Wait Until You Know Who You Are To Make Things 12.13.12 **__ Kleon disagreed with Rainn Wilson because Wilson said that if you don’t know who you are or what you are going to be it’s hard for you to be creative. Kleon disagreed because he says that you should take a chance and be creative, and then maybe you’ll figure out who you are or what you’ll be. You’ll never figure out who you are until you’re creative. It’s completely OK to be scared but that’s part of the adventure in it. Another way to look at it is by saying fake it till you make it. One way to look at this quote is by acting as if you’re making something till you actually make something. Or fake that you’re successful on your idea till it actually becomes successful. __** Statement 1: How to Steal Like a Artist 12.13.12 **__ Rule one mentions that if you were to ask any artist where they get their ideas from they would say they steal them. Nothing is original; it even states it in the bible. And there is nothing to be ashamed of, stealing ideas is completely normal. It also explains that we are a remix from both of our parents and even our ancestors. That we get to choose who influences our lives because we get to choose who’s in it and what decisions we make to affect our lives. We are only as good as the things we surround ourselves with. So the more we read the more things we get to choose to influence our lives.

Question 1: The statement Steal Like A Artist means that you have to know what you're stealing because you are going to take somebody else's idea and make it into yours. You have to make sure that the idea you're trying to steal actually makes sense. I agree you need to know what you're stealing and if it is worth stealing. Question 2: Nothing is original means that everybody's ideas come from somewhere else, they are not completely original. It states it in the bible that ideas are not original and there's nothing original in them. Everything has been done, just reworded into making it seem new. Question 3: Kleon says that our job is to collect ideas so that we can see the influences in our life's. Question 4: By paying more attention to the things around you and the things that influence you. Such as you should read more so you can see the different influences around you.

__** Picture Book: 11.15.11 **__ Now in days you never see a child reading a book or a parent reading it to them. All kids do is watch TV or play video games. But I personally think that reading a picture book is the most important thing for a child’s development. A kid should be encouraged to pick up a book and read it so that their imagination can grow. By watching TV or playing a game does help a child learn something but, it’s usually the same thing over and over. Books will teach them different types of lessons and will get them to be creative.

Picture books are the first type of book children are interested in and will get their mind learning. They get to learn new words and get to see how a story falls into place. All children’s books have a lesson behind them, from behaving well, to not fighting with your siblings. It teaches kids something new and will hopefully get them to act that way also. It will also get their imagination going and make them think outside the box. A picture book gets them prepared for reading chapter books when they grow up.

Chapter books don’t have pictures so that’s when their imagination kicks in. They have to visualize what is going on during the story. Picture books will also teach them different languages or different religions. The good thing is that there is always a book for every subject. That’s one of the main ways children learn different things and get information. Picture books will get them to dream about imaginary things and influence the person they want to be when they grow up.

__** Study **** Skills: **__** 10.02.12 ** One of the study skills I liked was "Homeworkspot" because it helps you with your homework. It challanges your mind and gets you thinking about all different types of subjects.I would use it in my personal life if I needed help on my homework. Yes, I would deffently recommend it to my friends becaus they might also need it one day. Another skill I liked was "Games for Science" because it's a way to learn your science information in a fun way. The majority off students learn what they have to through something that grabs their attention. Games are something that they will actually pay attention and learn something. I would recommend this page to my friends incase they were struggling on learning something for science. I would personlly use this page incase I was in need of remembering something for science. The Last study skill I liked was "Mathway" I really like that one because it helps you if you need help on a solving a promblem. It works it out with you and you understand what you were having trouble at the end. It also gives you different type of maths you need, I would deffently recommend this to my friends because everybody needs help on math at one point. I know I would use this webpage when I'm dealing with math, it's very usefull.

I thought the webpage stumbleupon was pretty nice because it shoes you exactly what you want to see. And you even have the chance to dislike it or like it. I especially liked when it showed me a picture of a city and showed me the view from a helicopter. It's very intresting to see the type of results it showes, when you click on the topic. I would deffinitly recommend it to my friends, because I think they would also enjoy it.
 * __Stumbleupon:__ 10.02.12 **

__** Social Bookmarking: **__ I agree with the speaker when he says that when we search for something it categorizes us based upon our earlier searches. I never actually thought that the websites categorize us till I watched this video. But, when you actually think about it, he has a very valid point. I think it’s good that Google does your search upon what it thinks you might be looking for. Because sometimes it’s right but sometimes it’s wrong. Then it’s very hard for you to find what you are actually looking for. I think Google should not categorize you, just becaue you never really know what you are looking for.

__** Is social media ruining lifes: **__ The Social Media article is basically comparing students who are always on Facebook to students who actually like to learn. It compares their grades and how much they improve. It explains why people use Facebook and opinions of people who think that social networks should be used during class.

I agree with the article about watching what you put on the internet because it can always come back in the future. It could prevent you from getting your dream job. You should think before you post something because it's there forever. Nothing that goes on the internet is ever privete, and it could cause you major problems.

=Mikayla - oops, name tag deleted= = = =**12.18.12**= =**Statement 10: Creativity is subtraction**= Kleon says that often when an artist leaves something our of the piece, it make it more interesting. It shows what's shown, versus what isn't. It gets people interested in the art and actually gets them thinking about it. If everything is there, then there is nothing for the viewer to find or themselves. I think a good example of this would be how people can get different meanings out of the same piece of art. It all deals with what you show, and what you don't.

=**12.18.12**= =**Statement 9: Be Boring (it's the only way to get work done)**= When I first read this, I didn't think that I would agree with this at all, because if anything, being boring is the one thing that I wouldn't want to be when I'm trying to make a piece of art. But after reading this, I kind of agree what he is saying. He talks about how you should set up a calendar for yourself. Don't waste your time trying to procrasinate and do everything but your art. Sit down, and make yourself work. A calender would be a great way to help yourself with this time management. It's the best way to get things done. Also, he says to "Get a job, and keep it." It's something that could also help you with time management and how you should handle doing your work.

=**12.18.12**= =**Statement 8: Be Nice (the world is a small town)**= I think that the "Be nice" rule is so that you can get more opportunities as far as mentors, peers, etc. goes. Kleon says that being nice is in the golden rule, and that it's the best way to find and make friends on the internet. I agree with what he is saying, because the first thing I look for or listen for in a person that I am just meeting is their attitude and personality. If the person is nice and has positive body gestures, then I'm usually more tentative to the person. The same rule goes for art. If your looks kind and welcoming, then people are more likely to respond to it. However, if it uses things such as profanity and ugly things, then negative comments, looks and thoughts usually follow, which, ultimately, could result in your art not being viewed at all.

=**12.18.12**= =**Statement 7: Geography is no longer our master**= This is basically saying that you don't need to limit your learning and experience to the things and people around you. Kleon moved to Austin, Texas, and he says that just because he lives there, doesn't mean everything he does revolves around that. He say that 90% of his mentors and peers are on the internet. So don't limit yourself to learning artists and people around you. Get to know what goes on around the world. And you can do so with just on click. = = =**12.14.12**= =**Statement 6:** __The Secret:__ Do good work, then put it where people can see it= Always put your best effort into everything you do. Never accept nothing but your best, because you never know what you're capable of until you try it. Kleon says that if you're good at something, you should put it where others can see it. And when others can see it, they can appreciate the work that you have done, and you can in turn feel better about yourself and your work. Positive feedback can give you reassurance in your work, and negative can pose as helpful criticism. Everyone's a critic, and the more helpful criticism you get, the more you could better yourself when it comes to your art.

=12.14.12= =Statement 5: Side projects and hobbies are important= Kleon says that you need a hobbie other than your art. Art is for everyone's eyes and or ears to see and or hear. But if you get a hobbie or a side project to do in your spare time, then you have something that's just for you. You don't have to worry about impressing someone, or worry about what someone else thinks. Whatever makes you happy, makes you happy. In having a side project or a hobbie, you could turn something that you considered to be meaningless fun into something that others could consider very good. But while working on it, you have the opportunity to learn something new, and have fun with it, that way everything isn't all work, no play. It's work when work, and play in your free time.

=12.13.12= =Statement 4: Use your hands= He's saying that your hands are the original digital device, and I agree with him, because if you think about it, before cameras and video recorders were made, what did people do to remember their ideas? They wrote them down, drew them, and painted them. By doing this, they were able to copy things, but in the way that they themselves would see it. It's not just a generic picture of what anybody can see, it's drawing, written or painted through the eyes of the artist. This could really effect the future of anybody, really, because if you think about it, kids nowadays are so used to using electronic devices to basically think for them. If we could all go back to thinking like a young toddler, just noticing the world through new eyes, and getting to know the things around you, and drawing them everywhere, then I think that could change our future for the better.

=12.13.12= =Statement 3: Write the book you want to read= I'm not graduating, so I'm not really sure how to answer this. I'm not even close. I don't start senior project writing or preparing until next year, and, to be honest, I'm not exactly sure what it's about. But I'll take a chance here and just wing it. This statement talks about how you need to write what you like, and not what you know. Writing what you like, is basically saying write the book you want to read. You know in your head how you want everything to lay out and how you want everything to look when it's finished. The only part you have to work at is filling the rest in. Kleon talks about how he saw Jurassic Park and wrote a sequel to it when he was 10, and it turns out that when he saw the actual sequel to it, he said it sucked. He liked his own ideas better. What he's talking about when he says this is that we need to make things the way we would want them to look or seem. And applying this to senior project would be not just writing about everything you know on your topic, it'd be taking out your most interesting and important parts and putting emphasis on them so that people can see what you see when you're presenting, and so they can see your career through your eyes, not just their own.

=12.14.12= =Statement 2: Don't wait until you know who you are to start making things= Kleon is disagreeing with the statement made by the actor who plays "Dwight" in The Office, Rainn Wilson. He claims that if you do not know who you are, you cannot be creative, and Kleon says this drove him nuts. He says that you don't have to know who you are to be creative, and I agree with him. Being creative is something that could actually help you to figure you out who you are, and nothing should hold you back from doing so.

=12.13.12= =Statement 1: Steal like an artist= When I first heard steal like an artist, I thought of people actually stealing a piece of art like a painting and copying the lines and colors of it and calling it their own. And when I read more into it, I just got more and more confused as to what he was talking about when he said that. I didn't understand how or why he was encouraging people to steal. But now, even though I might not think it's right, I see what he's talking about. Now when I think of it, I think of somebody drawing something. Often, people have to look at something else to get an idea of what they want to draw, and that's what I think of when I hear this phrase now. Steal like an artist. You're not necessarily stealing from them, you're just getting an idea of what you want to do from something that they have already done.

1.) What does the statement mean to you? Do you agree or disagree? Explain. 2.) What does "nothing is original" mean? 3.) What does Kleon say your job is, and how does he suggest that you do it? 4.) How else might you collect your ideas?

1.) As said above, what the statement means to me is that you don't necessarily steal somebody's work, it's more like you're "borrowing" their idea so that you can form your own.  2.) Nothing is original means what it says. Nothing is original. Basically everything you see is either a copy or a remix of somebody else's ideas or work. Artists need inspiration, and they often find it within other pieces of art. 3.) He says that "Your job is to collect ideas." And he goes on to say "The best way to do it is to read." 4.) You could collect your ideas by being or tentative to the things around you and noticing things that you hadn't before, because that could give you inspiration as well.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">If you think about it, everything is done electronically now. They used to have a LeapFrog book where the <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">child had a pen, and when they would put the pen on a word, it would read the word out loud for them so <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">that they could get familiar with the word and know how it sounds and should be pronounced. Now they have <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">something called a LeapPad, which is similar to an iPad, but it's for children. They aren't really learning <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">anything if all they have to do is press a button and it reads the book for them, turns the pages for them. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">Children learn better with hands on activities.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">Think of how a baby puts things in its mouth to get to know it, and to know if it's food, a toy, or something <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;"> bad. The same thing applies to a child holding a book. Being able to actually hold the book and turn the <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">pages by hand is what they need to help familiarize themselves with what they're holding, and having a <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">parent there to help them with their words helps those who are also auditory learners. Using an iPad or an <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">iPad comparable object teaches the child that things should be learned in an auditory manor, and that as <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">long as they know what is being read to them, they don't need to know each individual word and their own <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">meanings.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">Picture books are crucial to the development of a child's mind. When they give pictures that go along with <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">the words of the book, it lets the child see how those words would look if someone had actually done/said <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">was the book had written in it. Reading multiple picture books to a child helps them to see different perspectives <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">and let's their imagination grow, so that when they finally do get old enough to read books that don't have <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">pictures in them, they'll go back to the picture books that they read when they were kids, and they'll know how <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">to turn the words into a scene in their head, so that they can visually see what would be happening in that <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">scenario in the book.

interesting and liking the page made it bring up more stuff that was related to that topic. I loved it. I even saved a few pictures. Some uses I think that StumbleUpon could have is helping you find something that interests you like, maybe for a project, because I picked art for one of my interests and I saw a few different projects that were very creative and looked like a lot of fun. When I clicked on cartoons, I thought things like Spongebob would come up, but I got a lot of comics and funny things and I loved those. And I would definitely suggest this site to other people, because even if you're not using it for a school purpose, it's fun to use just when you're bored or need a good laugh or a good idea.
 * StumbleUpon:** I think this website is pretty cool. It always came up with something that I found

on social media websites like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc. instead of studying. It also talks about how students can boost their self esteem by simply updating their Facebook page. It says that updating your Facebook page can boost your self esteem higher than looking in the mirror. However, it states that "Students who spend more time on Facebook are more narcissistic." Which means you think very highly of yourself, and __only__ yourself. So all in all, it's basically saying that social media is good for students to use, but it can also be a hindrance if you're spending more time on the computer doing social networking than studying and using it for school purposes.
 * Social Media:** This is all about how social media is ruining students because students would rather get

don't need to be documenting what you're searching and changing up your searches. I mean, I think it's cool and all that it gives you what it thinks you're looking for, but that's just it. It gives you what it THINKS you're looking for. It has no way of knowing what you're looking for just by looking at your previous searches. I think that it should give you an optional button on Google or Facebook that allows YOU to filter out what you do and don't want. = =

This statement to me really doesn't benefit me in any way. The reason I say this is because I believe that everything really doesn't come from another idea. To be honest, I disagree with what this statement is stating because I believe you are seen as 10 times more creative, and more of an artistic genius when you make you make your ideas and work completely original. When the article is stating “nothing is original” it is saying that everything you think of is coming from someone else’s work, which I also disagree with. Kleon says that our job is to create ideas and that the best way to do this is to read. I agree with that way of collecting ideas but I also believe that there are many other ways to collect ideas as well. One of the ways you could do this other than reading is using your imagination. Imagine things that you never thought would be possible, and put it on canvas. What I am saying, is that you just have to be creative. Rule 2 is all about “faking it, till you make it”. What this quote is explaining is that fake your personality in the beginning to build popularity, and then once people get used to you, show them who you really are. Once again, I completely disagree with what this rule is saying. I think that people will like you for being you, and being unique, and that is what people are going like about you, and remember you for is being yourself and unique. I think that if you fake your personality, people are only going to be disappointed with you in the end because they are no longer going to like the style of your art, and they are only going to see you as a liar who was just trying to get peoples attention. Rule 3 could help me out with the research section within my graduation project. What I mean by this is that you may not find the right book that you want and need to research whatever you may want to do your graduation project on. In solution for that problem, you can take information from other books, combine them, and create the perfect book that you know you would find the most useful for you when creating your graduation project. Just like the article said, “Write what you like”, in other words, write about the things that you would like to read about. According to rule 4, your hands are the original digital devices. I do agree with part of this concept. The part that I agree with is when you stay away from technical devices, or things like computers, I do believe that ideas come to you more easily. I believe that whenever you are not staring at a bright screen, and there are not so many things to distract you like things that pop up on a screen, your creativity and ideas can flow more freely in and out of your brain. However, I there is some type of time constraint, I do believe that using a computer is a lot faster to get your ideas down before you forget them. This would help me in my daily life because if I took a second away from the computer, I really do think that my work would be more creative and my work would be more interesting to read. Rule 5 discusses that you must stay attached to your daily habits and hobbies that you do on a regular basis. Meaning something like sports, or playing an instrument, etc. His lesson in telling us to stick to our hobbies is that we always need a break from something. When you finally get your break from working, your hobby will be your go to. Depending on how good you are on whatever hobby you are attached to, this can take you somewhere in life as well. Rule 6 discusses to do good work. However, when you create good work, you need to make sure people see it. If you do not put your work out for people to see, then there is no reason of even doing the work in the first place. Rule number 7 is talking about how there is more to the artistic world than just outdoor scenes, or geographical scenes. Rule number 8 discusses being nice to people, and being aware of what is around you, and what people can see. What I mean by this is that the author is saying that whatever you post on the internet, people will see it. The main concept of this rule is to be close to friends and keep enemies closer. In other words, be nice to everyone and you will be fine. If enemies come to you, there is no need to make argument or fight, just ignore them and they will eventually leave you alone. This rule is discussing the best way to get your artwork done as efficient as possible. The author mentions that to be an artist, you have to be boring. When I say that, I mean that you can’t be trying to do too many things at once or throughout the day because you have to save you energy for your artwork. Art work takes time and when all of your energy is drained and you try to do your artwork when you are tired, you are most likely going to fall asleep with the paint brush on the canvas. The other thing discussed in this rule is using a calendar to show your progress throughout the year of your artwork. You should also keep a 9 to 5 job to keep you busy and make you money aside from your artwork. Lastly, the author states that you need to be careful and smart when “marrying”. When I say marrying I mean: your life partner, your business partner, your co-workers, who you hang out with, etc. You have to make sure that you will enjoy and get along with the people that you spend the most time with. Rule 10 is discussing what you need to make your artwork interesting. This article says that it isn't always what is in the picture that makes it interesting, but what is left out that makes it so interesting. According to the author, creativity is not all that is put into the artwork, there are many other elements.

 * LIVEBINDER:**
 * The Studying Skills websites that I visited were very interesting. The first website that I visited was Anatomy Arcade. This website was very interesting because it enables you to have fun as well as learn new things and study at the same time. This was probably my most favorite website of all because i get bored easily and when your playing games, your having fun. The second website that i visited was Homework Spot. This particular website helps you out with your homework, and stuff done outside of school. I, however, wasn't very fond of this website because it didn't jump out at me, and seemed to be remotely boring. The last website that I visited wad BrainPoP. This website had many interactions involved with it, as well as animations, which I loved because it keeps you entertained and involved with the skills that you are working on. This was my second favorite website for learning, but I really do think I learn more when i am competing or playing a game because i tend to stroll off topic when something isn't necessarily catching my attention.**


 * 1) . What uses do you think Stumbleupon could have?- I think that stumbleupon has many uses, one of them being for recipes, school uses, or anything else that may pertain to the information that provided on stumbleupon.
 * 2) Did you find anything exceptionally interesting? What? If no, why not?- I find the recipes, such as vegan recipes are extremely interesting because you don't necessarily see those laying around just anywhere.
 * 3) Would you suggest this website to others? Why?- Yes, i would suggest this website to other because it picks out the websites that are suitable for just you, and no one else, unless they share the same interests as you.

__**BANNED** BOOKS:__ I am not familiar with very many books on the banned list, however, i do know of a couple. The three books that i know of are TTYL, To Kill a Mockingbird, and lastly, The Golden Compass. I do not see any reason at all that these book should be banned. __Write about Social Media and Social Bookmarking.__


 * SOCIAL BOOKMARKING DEFINITION:** My definition of social bookmarking is when you save, or bookmark your favorite or most used websites, so that they will be close and easy to get to in your computer whenever you need them.


 * SOCIAL MEDIA OPINION: IS IT RUINING STUDENTS?: I think that in some ways, social media can be ruining students one way, but then again, they could also be helping us out on a very big way as well. When you are using social media in a way to where you are doing school work, I don't see a problem in that. However, if you are using the argument that, students are on the social media and networking sites for other reasons than school than yes, I do think it is making kids grades decrease. Not only grades but due to social media and networking sites, more kids are being bullied and beat down, which also does not help a kids self esteem either. Also regarding that it may be ruining students, it doesn't necessarily help your brain cells, in fact it helps kill them.**

__** Digital Rights and Responsibilities Summary: **__ This one is about following the acceptable use policies, using your technology the way it's supposed to be used, and reporting anything you see that may be inappropriate or may look like inappropriate use of the technology. ====__**PICTURE BOOK SUMMARY:**__==== <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;"> Picture books are extremely important when it comes to kids’ education. Not only because they learn how to read beginner books, but because they are for every age child. You can teach a baby their first words with a picture book, and you can also teach a first grader, more than they may already know. Many parents use the method of using either picture books, or maybe even flash cards with pictures on them, to show kids what the different things look like.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;"> A picture book is not only useful for teaching; it can also entertain the reader just as much as it can teach you. Picture books are important there is nothing more that you want to see than a little kid learning more, with a smile on their face. Nobody likes seeing their children with a frown on their face, especially when you are trying to have fun with them and teach them new things.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> Having the pictures within the books has many different advantages, and more then you may think are really there. For instance, Other than the pictures being there for learning and entertainment, they can also help your child pay attention to what they are reading. What I mean by this is that since the book has color, and isn't just black and white, it catches the kids attention. When kids are actually paying attention, they obviously learn more than they would if they were just staring off into space, attempting to read a black and white chapter book.

Rule 1- i like this because its true whether you want it to be or not, eveything anyone can possibly think of has been thought of or done by someone before, with so many people having lived in the time the earth has existed and the fact that humans have been constantly coming up with ideads since the moment they are born from the begining of time it is impossible to think a single original though.

Rule 2- i think the idea that you should makethings before you know yourself is genious, however i beleive you cannot reach your maximum potential until you know yourself com[pletely and tha the key is more working in order to find and understand yourself rather than to just work sporadicly with no meaning.

Rule 3- i didnt really get this one but i think its saying to make cool stuff? idk lol

Rule 4- i beleive this is saying if you create something using your own two hands and on your own then youll be more proud of it

Rule 5- i think thiss rule is saying that you shouldnt just focus on one thing but should always do more on the side because those are the projects that be3come something

Rule 6- this rule is simple. put things where enough people can see them if you want it to be recognized

 * Social Media**

i think this whole diagram is very true but at the same time the things on it arent quite as big of a deal as it makes it seem. its very believable that students would study less when on facebook moer but those same students would find something else to do on the internet if facebook didnt exist. On the other hand facebook addiction probably is a bad thing because many people loose jobs because of being on facebook at work. I dont beleive facebook makes people depressed though i think people just want to compete to see who can seem sadder but in reality are actually just fine.

i have a stumble upon and a ton of neat stuff ive save on there i just cant access it from these computers, or the web adress in social bookmarking.


 * Social Bookmarking**

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000019; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">**Social Bookmarking**- <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000019; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Delicious-lists websites that you can find out the number of times it has been bookmarked by others <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000019; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Reddit’s- determines new/popular things on the internet <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000019; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">StumbleUpon- site where you can look through any interests you have and read about topics pertaining to those interests <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000019; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Diigo- similar to stumbleupon but with the ability to attach note to each bookmark <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000019; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Digg- filters out unintresting subjects only searchs what youre intrested in <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000019; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Newsvine- web community where stories are submitted and voted on by users <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000019; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">iCyte - Similar to Diigo but with the capability of annotating and sharing or embing a site. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000019; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Rooh.It - where users highlight and share information and comment on it <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000019; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Trailmeme - An site for annotating web content and generating user interface or path to follow. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000019; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Jog the Web - Similar to Trailmeme but more friendly

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000019; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">I think that the way the internet search engines catagorize us is actually extremely helpful sometimes because it knows what youre looking fro in youre interests and what youd be happy with, but at the same time it limits you by keeping you inside certain interests and preventing you to explore further knowledge without a large amount of difficulty

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000019; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">**Stumbleupon**

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000019; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> stumbleupon is an amazing site and can use up whole days of your life because it shows you things your interested in and can educate you much more on things you may be interested in

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000019; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">__**Social Media**__

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000019; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">social media is the way we interact with others on the onternet through social networking websites like facebook, twitter, tumblr, etc.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000019; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">__**Live Binder**__

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000019; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">i really liked the online drum machine, i also liked the get the math sitew and feel it could e very usefull for me, i also liked the what math sounds like because in comparing music and math i can understand the latter much easier



=
It’s one of my theories that when people give you advice, they’re really just talking to themselves in the past. This list is me talking to a previous version of myself.=====

=
You don’t get to pick your family, but you can pick your teachers and you can pick your friends and you can pick the music you listen to and you can pick the books you read and you can pick the movies you see.=====

12/11/12 Rule #2
Says Don't wait until you know who you are to make things. If you don’t know who you are or what you’re about or what you believe in it’s really pretty impossible to be creative. Fake it ‘til you make it, as in, fake it until you’re successful, until everybody sees you the way you want, etc. Or, fake it til’ you make it, as in, pretend to be making something until you actually make something. Ask any real artist, and they’ll tell you the truth: they don’t know where the good stuff comes from. They just show up to do their thing. Every day.

12/12/12 Rule #3
Says write the book you want to read. On my graduation project, it is important for me to pick a topic that interest me best, and not something that I know a lot about. I like my project a lot and Im glad I picked it. I believe that your senior project is what you make it to be. I spent a total of 15 hours and 40 minutes with my mentor. For my project I chose nursing and I learned a lot about it, and I also cant wait to pursue my career in nursing.

12/12/12 Rule #4
Says use your hands. In the digital age, don’t forget to use your digits! Your hands are the original digital devices. The more I stay away from the computer, the better my ideas get. You can spread writing all over your desk and sort through it. You can lay it all out where you can look at it.

Says "Side projects and hobbies are important"
<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">It’s also important to have a hobby. Something that’s just for you. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">A hobby requires patience to become good at it though. Otherwise, you're just using the hobby to "waste time". Some people's hobbies can be <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #0e2233; display: block; font-family: 'Open Sans',arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">musical instruments, sports, art, technology, etc.. things that make you happy when you are done practicing or doing your hobby.

=<span style="color: #0e2233; font-family: 'Open Sans',arial,sans-serif;">Rule #6 = Says :do good work and put it where people can see it. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Like if you a good artist, you can paint a lot of good thing and put your work on the internet or ever go to an art gallery where people go and look at good art work and maybe someone would like it so much they might consider buying one of your paintings.

11/15/12 Go to the library catalog and type in //Cinderella// and click the button for subject search. Look for a children's book that is a Cinderella story. It might be a story from another country and not just the typical Cinderella we usually see. Pick one book for your next assignment. Email me what you want and I will have it delivered. cshinn@asheboro.k12.nc.us

**Social Media:**
can be both good and bad, but you should think before you post something because it's there forever. Nothing that goes on the internet is ever private, and it could cause you major problems.

**Most Popular Social Media Sites:**
Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, LinkedIn, Google Plus+, Tagged, Ning, CafeMom.

__**StumbleUpon:**__
A site that basically directs you to web pages based on your interests. I thought this webpage was good because it fits you exactly what you want to see. You even have the chance to dislike it or like it. I liked when it showed me the city and showed me the view from in the sky. It's very intresting to see the type of results it showes, when you click on the topic. I would recommend it to my friends and even teachers because I think they would like it just as much as I did.

__**LiveBinder:**__
Is your own 3-ring binder on the web. LiveBinder website was kinda interesting because it lets you to do fun things like learning and studing new things all at once. I like this website the because I get bored easily and when I played the games I had fun. One of the websites I was on was **BrainPOP**, it helps others who are slow learners and can give a short and simple video on what the topic is and it asks you questions at the end so that you can quiz yourself on the knowledge of the topic that you just learned. This is a good website for studying. The second one I like was **StudyJams,** I like this one because it gave me step by step and help me out alot and then when I tested myself at the end of the game and I passed. There were Science and Math games, I choose Math because I love working with math and im good at it.

__**Banned Books:**__
After looking on the Banned Books Week: Celebrating 30 Years of Liberating Literature website, I've noticed that I read some of the book on the website. The books that look familiar to me were Gossip Girls (series), To Kill A Mockingbird, Of Mice And Men, The Color Purple, The Giver, and TTYL. I don't understand why they are even banned because in my poinion they were really great books.
