Social Network

Social Networking is a newtowk on the internet where you can connect and talk with people. This way you can keep in touch with family that lives far away or friends that you havent seen in a while. Digital footprint is when you leave an imperssion on the internet, that could be who you are, what you do, and what you are interested in. Social Newtwork effects digital footprint by collages and work places tracking you down and seeing what you post and talk about. It can aslo cause you a lot of problems at school. There is alot of cyberbullying and that is taken very seriously. If you wouldnt say it in person, then why would you type it.

Copyright Summary

Copyright is when you use someone elses, work, music, movie, ect without paying for it, or without thier permission. Alot of people are confused by the copyright law because the past sites like Napster has had financial problems and caused other people financial problems. Now Napster supposedly has everything under control but who are you to trust? The most common thing copyrighted is music. Music is so easily copyrighted because people download it for free and give it to other people and the people that wrote and preformed the music arent getting any money. Another thing that is copyrighted is written work. Written work is copyrighted by students. If students dont get their papers done they copy someone elses paper without givng that person credit that is copyright and illegal. So pretty much dont use someone elses work or sell their work for money or school because you will get caught and in trouble with the law.

Harry Potter! Scool of Witchcraft and Wizardry!

The people that were involved in the case were J.K Rowling and Steve Vander Ark. The type of work was about the Harry Potter Book, and then the Harry Potter movies. The results of the case were not guilty. The facial features were not like the book said but the movie producer didnt get permission to change the features of the character

Country Project!

My favorite part of the project was looking up Germany's hisatory. I have always been intersted in the Holocaust. It was very sad but yet very interesting to learn about. It was weird that the people in Germany didnt realize what was going on around them and didnt do anything to stop it. My least fovorite part was looking up current info and not understanding it very much because they were all about the same things but different stories. I learned that Germany has many cool tourist spots, i thought it was going to be all gloomy and sad. I feel like the strong point in my presentation was the history. i didnt even really look that up because i knew alot about the histor there. My weak point would probably have been the current info. It was fun though! not really.....

My Year in Review

The highlight of 2011 was winning the championship at the softball dome in Flint, Michigan. That was one of the best days of my life. My softball team is like my second family.I love each and every one of those girls, they are like my sisters.
The low point in 2011 was when i had Ms. Jan as a teacher. Yes she was a good teacher and i learned alot. It was just alot of work. With softball and basketball i would get little to no sleep.
My goals for 2012 are to be a nicer person to other people,not judge someone by what i hear, not get in any fights during a softball game, and get better at softball
If i was given $100,000 to start the New Year i would spend that money on a softball/sports dome that could be played inside. I would give half of it to my dad and the other half i would save for my collage.
