What are your hobbies and extra curricular activities? Where do you spend your free time? Tell me three of your favorite things (movies, TV show, magazine, sport, color, etc.)

My hobbies are hanging out with my friends, playing guitar or writing music. I've loved music my whole life and eventually started playing guitar when I was nine. I can also play most other instruments, but I'm best at guitar and piano. I've never had a favorite artist or a favorite song. Mumford and Sons, and Joe Purdy are my favorite though. I really don't have a favorite song, I have too many. My favorite college team is KU, because my parents went there, and my favorite color is red.

Who am I Presentation

Wednesday, August 28th

What are some qualities of a good presentation? How can you make a boring presentation interesting? Explain The most important aspect of a good presentation is how you present it. If you have a really good power point but your really boring presenting it, nobody will be interested. Ways your can improve your presentation are, you can talk louder. Nobody wants to have to focus too hard to hear a presentation. You should also make good eye contact with your audience, you shouldn't read off of your power point word for word. Your power point can also help it get interesting. You should use color and interesting words, to prevent the audience from being bored.

Journal- Tell me if you agree with this statement and then explain why or why not. "Images on the internet are a 'free game'- if someone posted it, I can use it.

I partly agree. Anybody can use them if they want to, but it can be illegal if they do not site where they found the original image. In some cases, this can be a bad thing. People can use other peoples work without giving credit, an get away with it. However, the statement said that its a free game and I can use it, which is true. You can take any picture on the internet that you want.

What is the importance of online safety and protecting your information? What do you do to protect yourself online? Share an experience you or someone you know has had with online safety.

Online safety is a big problem. Internet users do not know who the other user behind the computer. Live chats and talk rooms can be very dangerous because the other user can say that he is a teenager, but you never know. I have never had an encounter with this problem, but only because I do not do internet . However, I know its there. You can prevent this problem by being very careful about who you talk to and to never share any personal information.

What does this quote mean to you "Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you, and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use."

Ashtons Kutcher's speech is very inspirational for teenagers because it shows that when Ashton Kutcher was our age, he was just a normal kid named Chris.  It wasn't until later in his life that he became a famous actor and influenced so many people. His point of the speech was that all of the teenagers in he world, all have potential to change the world. That the people before us created what we call life. People no smarter than us. We can change the world, just like he did when he went into acting and became Ashton.
