Tell me about the global issue you selected yesterday. Briefly restate your paragraph from yesterday.


The global issue that I selected was capital punishment. I chose this because it seems interesting and a lot of people do not agree on it or think it shouldn't be used.  I also hope to learn more about the court system.

If you could pick one issue in the world to fix or change what would it be and why?

 I would choose to fix world hunger. I feel like world hunger shouldn't even exist because there is enough food in this world to feed everyone.

What is a Public Service Announcement? If you don't know what it is, Google it. In your own words, now tell me what it is? What are they used for? Can you recall an example of a PSA you've seen before?

 A public service announcement is an ad that raises awareness or gives relevance to an important topic or issue. They are used to show the public an issue that needs to be solved. I have seen PSA's about PETA or sad animal commercials that try to raise money to help animals that are in need.

Tell me about your three day weekend. How was it? What did you do? Elaborate!

During my three day weekend I went to my best friend Katie's lake house for her birthday. We always go there for her birthday and during the summer so it's something we always get excited for. Since it was a beautiful weekend with perfect weather we were outside the whole entire time. We ate a lot of food and told a lot of stories. It was one of the best times of my life with my best friends and it was awesome!

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 have learned a lot about Google Presentation. It is like a regular PowerPoint Presentation except with more things to do. I like it because I am able to make a regular presentation my very own by adding different things to it. I haven't really run into any problems yet and I do think it is better than PowerPoint. 

 "Images on the internet are 'free game' - if someone posted I should be able to use it."


I do not agree that images on the internet are 'free game'. You should not be allowed to use someone else's work unless you cite it. Just because they posted it and it's available doesn't mean that you should use it without giving credit.

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!

I want to learn how to get more familiar with computers and technology. I want to be able to understand different technologies and use them efficiently so I can apply them in my work once I get to college. I hope to learn new things that benefit my learning.
