Who do you look up to in life? Why? What have they done to help you or guide you?

I look up to my mom and my dad because they are great examples of how to live. They teach me the difference between right and wrong, and how to be a good addition to society. They help me by giving me advice when I ask them, and they guide me in how to make a difference in the world.

Tell me about your three day weekend. How was it? What did you do? Elaborate! On Friday and Saturday I had a basketball tournament. On Friday night we beat Slagle, then on Saturday we beat Blue Valley Northwest and Blue Valley West to win the tournament. After the games on Saturday I hung out with a friend. On Sunday I had baseball practice in the morning, then church right after, then the rest of the day I spent at a friend's house watching the AFC Championship Game and the NFC Championship Game. I was pretty upset because both of my teams lost. On Monday I just had a lazy day and pretty much did nothing except for going to basketball practice in the morning.

Who Am I Presentation

Thursday, January 16

What have you learned about Google Drive and Google Presentation so far? What do you like about it? What problems have you run in to? Is it better than PowerPoint? Explain.

I like that in you can open anything in Google Drive from any computer. I like in Google Presentation how it saves automatically without you having to press the save button. I have run in to problems when trying to save pictures onto Google Drive. Google Presentation and PowerPoint are very similar; however, I think I like PowerPoint better. I like how in PowerPoint you can crop photos.

Tell me if you agree with this statement and then explain why or why not. "Images on the internet are 'free game' - if someone posted I should be able to use it."

If someone posted it I should be able to use it. If the image is not protected or it does not have to be bought to use, such as on Google images, the image is free game. If someone wanted their image to be protected, there are ways to make that happen. Students use the internet everyday and some of them do not even know how to cite items, so if someone wants their image to be their own, then don't post it.

What do you want to learn in the class the semester? What information do you want to walk away with that you didn't know before? Elaborate!

A better knowledge of computers and how to run different programs on the computer. Technology is becoming more important in the world every day. There are so many different things to do using technology, and I have no clue what most of them are. I want to be more comfortable with technology than when I came in.
