Journal - 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.)
I play football for the school and rec basketball with my friends. I also golf in my free time at Iron Horse. I usually spend my free time in my room or at Walmart with my friends but with football having 3 hour practices every day and homework I only get free time on the weekends. My favorite movie is Alien because if you saw it you would agree, my favorite sport is basketball because I really don't care what happens(I'm not really that competitive) and my favorite magazine is Sport Illustrated because they have articles I will actually read.

Journal - What are some qualities of a good presentation? How can you make a boring presentation interesting? Explain.
A good presentation would have qualities that would keep the audience engaged and thinking. It would also be good to interact with the audience so that they have more to do than just listen to you. You can make a boring presentation interesting by being enthusiastic and may be over acting it to be entertaining. Any presentation can be interesting with the right words and presenter(s).

Journal - 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."
I agree on some levels. If someone posts a picture you should ask for permission to use it and what ever you are using it for you need to say where you got it from and from who. If all the pictures on the internet were "free game" there would be no need for photographers, anyone could just take a picture with their phone and call it good. Basically you need to cite your sources and let other people have credit for what they did.

Journal - 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.
It is important to be safe online because it could affect your real life also. If you give away information of where you live someone could find out that you don't want them to and they could come to your house. To protect myself online I don't post anything too personal like locations and ages and stuff like that and I also make sure that nobody can just look and find where I live. I have never had anything happen to me with online safety.

Journal - Tell me what you know about Web 2.0. List example Web 2.0 sites. Are you on any sites that let you “post” information? What are those sites? How often do you use them? What do you post on them?
Web 2.0 are sites that let you post information on them. Twitter, YouTube, Vine, Instagram, Google +, Blogger, Snapchat, MySpace, Pinterest and Facebook are all Web 2.0. I use some Web 2.0 sites, YouTube, Snapchat and Twitter are the only ones I use. I use them when ever I'm bored or waiting for something. I post comments on YouTube videos and on Snapchat I just send pictures to my friends.

Journal - After watching the
short clip of Ashton Kutcher's acceptance speech what did you take away from
his advice? 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."
After I saw Ashton Kutcher’s speech, I thought about what it meant when he said that “Everything around you that you call life was made by people no smarter than you”. He means that anyone can do anything they set their mind to, if that’s making something or being good at something. Everything man made was created by someone or a group of people who all worked hard to get there and kept working hard when they were there. What I took away from the speech was that more people will probably like you if you are a hard worker and are smart. If nobody worked hard then there would be no computers or cars or roads to drive on, so working hard is essential to keeping the world "up to date”.
