Blog Post of the Day:
What are your favorite apps on your phone or tablet? Why?
(If you don't have a smart phone or tablet, what are you favorite website you visit regularly.)

My favorite app on my phone is 9GAG because it is a website that people submit helpful or funny posts to and other people go through them and mark off which ones are acceptable to make it to the front page, and it is so popular, that there is a new post on the front page every minute or so and it can be very helpful at giving you life hacks or making you laugh at funny things and it is a great way to past the time. And it is also a website on the computer if you don't have a smart phone.

Blog Post of the Day:
What is email? When do you use email in your own personal life? List reasons and ways that people use email. What do you know about "email etiquette"?

An email is like texting, but for computers and it is free and you have multiple websites to email from.  I never use email.  People email because it isn't instant like texting is so you don't interrupt a meeting or something.  People email with multiple websites, suck as Yahoo, MSN, Gmail, and more.  I have no idea what "email etiquette" is.

Now that you've been in Emerging Technology for several weeks... what do you think? Do you think the web tools (Drive, Evernote, Bubbl, etc.) are helpful to you? Do you think they will be helpful throughout high school or even college? Explain.

I think that some tools, such as Bubbl.us is a very useful tool, and the Google docs and drive are also very useful, but other things like Evernote aren't that useful because they can be replaced by the Google Chrome's bookmarks, which is much easier to use than the ever note, and they are free, unlike Evernote, which has a premium account option.

Blog Post of the Day:
Do you enjoy writing? When do you enjoy it? What kind of writing do you enjoy? Why do you think the ability to write is so important no matter what kind of writing it is? Give an example that you enjoyed writing or hated writing. Why?

I like writing when I can write what I want.  I like to have a format and a topic,  but be free on what I can do in that topic to write about.  I enjoy fictional writing the most.  Writing is important because you need to be able to describe things when you're in a job.  I enjoyed it when we were told to write about weather and how it described mood.

Reflect on this quote. Give an example of a time in your life that this might have been the case.





This quote meant that if you don't prepare for something, then you should know that you will probably fail it, and you are basically preparing to fail.  This has happened to me when I knew that I had a test and I didn't prepare even though I knew that I should have.

Blog Post of the Day:
What is the importance of research? Why do you need to know how to research? What have you learned in high school about researching topics and finding quality resources? Have you had a helpful teacher that has taught you to research? Explain.

You have to research to learn about things that you research.  You need to know how to research so you can actually research and learn.  I learned that data bases are very good places to research topics because they have a lot of sources. I think that Ms. Edwards was very good at helping us research because she was the one that taught me how to use
 databases.
