Imagine Mr. Bacon has asked you to suggest one way of improving Blue Valley High School to make it a better place for students. Think about the changes that are needed at your school. Pick one change you feel would really make a difference and explain what it is and why you'd make the change.
Today in Emerging Technology 

I think they should make the classes bigger so that more students can get into the class they want. i couldent get into computer apps or Spanish because the classes were full.

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.

Okay so i really like these sites because i think having them around will help me with future assignment. after i was introduced to blogging from this class i went on to create  my own blogs at home that u use regularly. i think it is really fun to write so i enjoy blogging and i am really glad i was introduced to it at this time because it has taught me so much. bubbl.us will be good to  use in the future when i need to put together a outline for a speech or essay. that's all i have to say.

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 write a lot actually. none of my friends would predict that i like to write because i dont do well in school but sometimes when i get home i wright my feelings. i have multiple blogs other than this one- my school blog- that i use regularly. i write poems (they usually dont rhyme) but i think its really fun to make metaphors and put them in your writing. i have written many many many many scripts. i love to make story lines and i especially love to create characters and make them a personality and style. its very fun to create someone with your mind them write about them. its like you are building their life.. you create the world around them, the people they hang out with, even their feelings and what they say/do. i started writing at a very young age. i would write short stories and when i got older i would write books. right now i am currently working on a stop motion (claymation) movie. it will be in episodes (maybe about 5 episodes) it was fun to make the characters and bring them to life by writing a personality for them them putting them right into my script. i'm excited to see how that goes and knowing it is my first one i dont expect much but at least we will have fun doing it. i just got done picking voice actors to play their parts and they are excited to begin too. I love to act because the feeling of portraying someone else and being able to act a character out is great and that is why i love making scripts because i get to create the characters like they are real people. its cool dude

What did you do this weekend? Share pictures if you have them!

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



A lot of the time we don't study or prepare for what is to come. if we don't prepare to succeed we are preparing to fail because by not preparing at all we will fail. i am in this situation a lot because when i don't study i am preparing to fail. i fail when i don't study. yeah that's all i could think of.

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.

Well in a lot of people need to do research information for a job or for assignments so it is good to learn how to get the right information and how to put it into your research well. i had a great English teacher who helped us with getting good information for our speeches. she would check every artical and tell us if it was a good resource of not and what sites are the best.  it was very helpful and still works for me today.

Todays post is that im going to pretend that i am i am old and i am going to complain about the kids these days.

          Kids these days are so spoiled. When i was a kid we had one phone in the house that everyone shared. Now, kids have there very own touch screens as young as 9 years old! They all are so consumed with technology that they cant enjoy the real world. They need to get involved with school and the great outdoors and not all of that facebook, instagram, and snaptex... or snapchat i don't know what its called. They are taking all of these.. what are they called? Selfies! and twerking all over the place. they wear cloths that in my time would be horrifying, but today it is not big deal. it seems like sometime in the future girls will be wearing bikinis everywhere they go! All of those crop tops and high waisted shorts are so ugly and tiny. They need to stop showing off their outer beauty and start working on their inner beauty because everyone knows whats on the outside dosent matter. At least that's what i think.

     My global issue is invaded privacy by the government. i know that the government (through NSA) can spy on any citizen straight through their smart phones. This is not only a issue in America but in many other countries this has become an issue. The government can see your pictures, messages, apps, and literally anything you have in your phone. They can even take a peek through your camera and see what you are doing or turn on your microphone and listen to you talk to your friend/mom/sibling and more. You phone does not even have to be on for them to be able to do this. They don't even have to use your phone it can be through your laptop or computer as well. There are also spy drones. These are kind of like remote control airplanes with cameras attached to them. They can be used to look through your window or take pictures or your house. The people are trying to protest this kind of invasion but the government continues to do it. This has turned into more than something used to protect the safety of the people.. this is now about just wanting to know everything about everyone and having the power to look into anyone's personal life or home. The government has the ability to know you better than you know yourself.. in fact they could be watching you or listening to you as you read this. This dosent seem like the land of the free anymore does it?

Thisweekend i did a lot of things, first i invited a few friends over but sadly they couldent come. The next day i had to watch my little sister and brother while my mom went to a baby shower. While my mom was gone i decided that i wanted to may a stop motion movie out of clay figures, so i researched how to make clay figures and i messaged my mom and asked her to pick me up some clay. She said she couldent because all of the craft stores were close and so said she would take me after school on Monday. But she came home and dropped off a lot of non dry clay, wire, and sculpting tools as a surprise. it was really cool and i started working on my first character immediately. I finished the character after 5 hours of hard work. It turned out pretty good considering the fact that i am a beginner. I still need to finish her outfit and give her some eyelids but that can be done quickly when i get home today. i drew a lot of pictures this weekend. i like to draw but usually i don't draw this much. i think i drew about 6-7 pictures this weekend in the style of Tim Burton. i really like Tim Burton's art because it gives me a whole new perspective of the world.

Smoking Presentation

Sep, 3, 13

Blog Post of the Day:
Yesterday I asked your to "think differently" and push yourself to be uncommon with your PSA project using Google Slides. Why do you think I asked you to do that? What is the point? Why not just use bullets and headers? Explain.

       
                  Because using your imagination is very important. it s not always just about the information in your projects it is also the presentation. I think you realize more about yourself when  you use your imagination and you also learn more out of creativity than you do with bullets and information. You wanted us to make the assignment fun and entertaining to watch and also to display good and accurate information in the slides without using to many words. This was a fun project for me because it challenged me to make if fun a different than every else. you didn't want all of the project to say the same things and have the same pictures with the same boring colors and text. It had to be individualized and that is a good thing. It was a challenge but it was fun and worth while. Now here is a picture of Spongbob because he used his imagination a lot.  
YYAAAZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!

      I dont even really like Spongebob so this is pretty much pointless.

for labor day weekend i invited 6 friends from my old school over for a sleepover. i had been waiting all week to see them since i hadent seen them in months. i was getting ready an hour before my friends started to arrive when i got a text from three of my friends saying that they could not come to my party. i was really sad because i was really looking for them to come over but oh well at least i got to see 4 of them. they came over and it was great. we had a great time and we had a camp fire. since if rained we set up the tent in my basement and  slept there. it was a small tent so the 5 of us were kind of squished and it was really hot in there, but it was worth it because we stayed in the tent until 3 in the morning and talking and making jokes. We also watched Twilight and did commentary on it and that was really fun. we went for a walk to the park until dinner was ready and had a great time taking pictures for instagram and snapchat  it was the best and im really happy that got to see them again. i missed then alot and. Then last night i went to the Royals game with my parents and some of their friends. it was fun but we dident stay
for the entire time because we had school the next day but it was still fun. we worked on getting our house ready to sell because if we cant sell it in two months we arnt gonna be able to move into our new house. Im really excited for that.
