Shawn's Post ''The Family Man''

First I would like to say this week was pretty interesting.It had It's bad and good days.But It was a pretty good week.Learned about ways to digital literacy evaluating websites.And took notes on them.

Found out how to classify bogus websites from real websites.And to read the whole page and other pages to see some Ideas of Is It fake or not.The websites almost got me and Mrs.paysuer had already told us they were fake.If i was a adult they would probably get me on those websites.Their pretty good tricksters.

Made definitions for a couple of words we needed to learn about.Wrote why we should evaluate and how to evaluate.Created a Mind-map to give your classmates as well as ourselves a better Idea of what It Is.Put pictures on there and a little bit of Information.

Got some notes from the IRIS website.It's good website to get notes for evaluating.I didn't see anything bad things about It.The website helped me get a better understanding of what we learning about.And how to classify them from each other.

Got to spend time with my loving,caring family.My and my little brother played basketball.I liked the fact that we spent time together and did something we both love to do.Without all the fussing,or fighting with one another. I love my family and will do anything for them.

Went to a cookout with my daddy's side of the family.Ate fries and chicken while the adults got steaks.Meet some of my younger cousins that are probably one to eight years old.Nice to see them growing up,going to school.When i spend time with them it reminds me why i want to be a good influence.Because if you do something bad they are going to think they can do it also.So that is why i try my best to right so they can have a positive role model.

• This Is kind of like a kindle. It Is more technical and advanced. Has the best graphics for movies and other features.

5. Reaction:

• I feel pretty good them making this.Because I love graphics,and without good graphics video games get boring.I think this is the most advanced handheld system ever.And  It will be a very long time before It Is surpassed.Systems quite like this one makes me proud to see others creativity and determination.

6. World Impact:
People are going to be standing In long lines at stores.And might get sick or miss a job Interview.Also people have things they have to do other than stand In a line waiting for a electronic.So If they don't get theirs they are going to be super ticked.So this Is a negative/positive impact to the world.

5th week of school

This week had it's ups and downs. But i managed to overcome this obstacle and many more to come.The fifth week of school we a digital license assignment it helps us learn about how things should be handled online so that is good.I see none thing bad about the digital license.Also took a test about digital etiquette.And appropriate times when your phone should be going off.And the right times when it should go off.Saw some more peoples Animoto and saw their creativity.

The class learned that a young adult actually killed herself because of cyber bullying. Also how it can affect peoples lives and their feelings.We should not cyber bully people because it's not right.Nobody should have to go through that but i know people do anyways.I would never cyber bully because i don't want it happening to me.Everyday somebody somewhere has to put up with jokes people do just to get a laugh.They should make a cyber bullying law because this is ridiculous.

Found technology articles that we wanted to blog about and posted and commented on it.And talked about how it can and would impact the world.These are the type of products criminals are likely to try and steal.Because they are going to do is keep it or sell it for money and other stuff.

Respecting people's privacy and asking before tagging them in a picture. If the person does not like the picture just delete it.Or upload a picture without them in it.Because it saves a lot of time for you and less drama.

Worked on our creative commons worksheet which is privacy today public tomorrow.And how a woman was accused of drinking because the picture heading stated "Drunken Pirate". Also how they did not want to give her a bachelor degree because of that.

We learned about a Web 2.0 tool that helps Photoshop pictures.I see no good things in this website.Here is the link below.The bad part is people can edit your photos how ever they want it to be.

Sony reveals new "Super Slim" PS3 hardware redesign

1. Topic:
Sony's new PS3 just might be the best ever.

2. Article Title: 
Sony reveals new PS3

3. Article Source: 
PS3 

4. Summary:
 This new PS3  Is 20% lighter and 25% thinner.And it is amazing how much smaller they have made it.It is thirty dollars cheaper then the old one and holds a lot more memory.


5. Reaction: 5 pt.
I was shocked at how small it was when i looked at the picture.And i thought it would cost a lot more money then the other one because how modified it is.Also it's new so usually it costs a bit more.After this sells out Sony will be multimillionaires.

6. World Impact: 6 pt. 
People are going to be up all night waiting for the shipment to come in.And they are going to stumble over each other trying to buy them before they are sold out.Arguments about who got to the store first.And kids parents mad because they will have to wait for the next shipment.I hope when this system comes out that people will think before fighting over a game system.

4th week,And it"s Fannnnnnnnntanstic

This week has been fantastic.We have learned so much stuff about laws.We got the chance to make a animoto and make a video.Wrote down sentences,learned how to break them down.Animoto is a good tool for presentations and things like that.And helps you use photos to make a powerpoint.

But it takes a lot of pictures to really make a understanding of it.Also had the chance to make a library card.The digital component we used was the digital citizenship website.Tells us how to be responsible online,and respect others privacy.The digital citizenship helped me understand how i am suppose to handle online situations.

The digital citizenship makes me want to help other people and tell them what they should post online about other people. Then the Animoto helped me get a better understanding by putting the pictures with the words and have a song play with it.It will also help with new presentations with other teachers.I will not get online as much because the internet can get you in a lot of of trouble even if you don't want it to.People post things about other people they don't even know and it should be changed the way they handle things.

I like learning about ways i could better myself online.And how to handle different situations when that pops up.How you can help people understand how others privacy should be respected.I will tell people how to be more responsible online and to ask people if they can tag them in pictures,or blogs. How to stop yourself from being seriously hurt,or hurting someones feelings by what you safety on the internet.

I also think that Animoto would be good for Elementary/Middle school kids.Help them learn how to present things while they are in the process of making presentations.I now have a better understanding of how i should respect peoples privacy.We learned what on the day of 9-11-2001.And how many people lost their lives.I honor to rescue men and woman who gave their lives on the day of 9/11/01

Smartphone Shipment Estamites

1. Topic: 1 pt.

• Smartphones Shipment  

2. Article Title: 1 pt.

• Smartphones Shipment to tip past 1 Billion in 2016

3. Article Source: 1 pt.

• Smartphone Shipment

4. Summary: 2 pt.

• The smartphone total for shipments. But there is only 7 billion people on the earth.Tells how your phone is your new computer.The IPhone 5 will make the shipments go up to 567 million. And is expected to double by 2016.

5. Reaction: 5 pt.

• I was shocked at how much money we have used on smartphone shipments.And it is expected to double maybe even triple by 2016.This could put us further into debt and that will not be good. I can't believe how many more shipments the Iphone 5 is going to make.Ten years from now i think it will be worse.

6. World Impact: 6 pt.

• if the phones start not to work or function right,then the customer will refund it.Then the owner will lose money and will be mad.And if they are stolen from them they are not going to buy them.I wouldn’t buy it because those who don’t want to pay for it are probably going to steal it.So i think it is going to be chaos when the Iphone 5 comes out.

Third week of GECHS

My week was awesome and exciting.We studied for our stems retest and learned new definitions.Also learned with RSS feed is about and how it works.Learned also how to prevent getting viruses and how to not be fished.I enjoy being here making new friends.Being with these wonderful,and supportive teachers.

We learned how to use Google Reader and make folders.Google Reader
Positive things you can keep your files organized and arranged.Negative i see none at the moment.
It helps me be able to find my files without being worried,or scared i lost it.Also helps my grades by me being able to send the assignment through Email or just hyperlink it.

I like this school because it gives us a chance to grow more as young adults.i also like how the teachers ask you how is your day going or how are you doing.And how we have time to play on our phones,play music,and get on Facebook.Can't wait to get in our building and see it and join some of the clubs they have.I love Forensic Science how we actually get to solve crimes.

W did the Email etiquette and learned what favicons are.Answered questions about the Rss feed and turned it in.Got new stems for the week.
