Blog- Post Assessment

My favorite restaurant from my childhood is Friendly's, it's located on route 46, Elmwood park New Jersey. They serve all kinds of food there from 7:00 am-12:00 am. For breakfast they serve:Eggs Benedict, Breakfast Sample, Belgian Waffle, Butter Milk Pancakes, Steel cut Oatmeal, Brioche French Toast, Lumberjack Breakfast, and Big two do. For lunch and dinner they serve:Bacon Cheeseburger, Crispy Chicken Wrap, Country Chicken Tenders, Mac and Cheese, Signature
Clamboat, and Meatloaf.
         My favorite dish would have to be The Country Chicken Tenders, and the Ice Cream Monster. I would always go here as a child with my family or friends to just mess around and have a good time. The first time I went there my friend Nicole showed me and my brother. I loved it so much at the time, with the food, the set up and the crane game. Right when you walk through the doors of Friendly's to the right are three game machines. One is pac man, the other is an old spaceship shooter, then the crane game. The machine is filled with cute cuddly stuffed animals that all kids want to have. I use to love to play it, especially since  it's play until you win.
          It's my favorite restaurant because of all the memories that are there. I use to go there with family and friends, no matter how old we are it will never die out for us. If Friendly's ever closed down I think I would go to IHOP. I love IHOP a lot and would go there anytime, if I couldn't go to Friendly's. It's a secondary choose if I was out with friends, but if I was out with family most likely be going to IHOP.

Web 2.0 Do Now 12/15

       One of my biggest desires is sports, mostly dancing. Dancing is a way to express yourself  and put yourself out there. I volunteer on Saturdays to help teach little kids how to dance. I think as they grow up they will love it and find happiness while doing it. I believe dancing could help lead people down the right path by getting them active and involved with many others. Over all I believe I'm helping the world a little more than I use to and hope that people follow in my foot steps.

Web 2.0: Do now writing prompt

As a teacher I want to add a dance curriculum. Dancing is a good way to express yourself and have fun with your peers, while also learning at the same time. You can learn different types of dance moves and different types of genres. You can learn how to wave, pop, lock, pin needle, and many more.You could learn anything from hip hop, jazz,  or ballet.

I think this class would not only be good with learning but also becoming more active with friends. This could help boost self esteem levels and for closer bonding between peers. You are allowed to express yourself and no one will judge you. Also you can learn moves from other people or teach them the ones you already know. I think this would be a great curriculum for teachers and students a fun learning class.

My some what boring weekend

This weekend we had four days off, not the best four day weekend for me. The first day which was Thursday the sixth, I had done nothing but eat candy and watch movies. The movie I saw is "A Christmas wedding", I watched it with my teddy bear named Teddy. Friday the seventh I cleaned and stayed in my room the whole day texting my boyfriend, the bae. Saturday I went to the MVC with my two brothers and mom to go get Javier's permit(my bro bro). It took fours long hours. but lucky I had a crossword puzzle to occupy me. Sunday, I cleaned and hung out with Eddy(the bae). We washed his dog, ate some pizza and played some Call of Duty:Black Ops 2. We played zombies, he stole my kills and I wanted to rage on him and throw him out the window......even if we were on the first floor. I got him back when we played free for all, I kill won with the most kills, last kill, and I killed him 7 times.

Editorials

     An Editorial can be many things. There could be video Editorials that shows you had to do things if you don't already know how to them. There could be news paper editorials, that is when the publisher voices there own opinion. I most use video editorials in video games and random things. How ever I do view other editorials in school when I do projects or research papers.So I guess I use both equally I don't favorite any, there pretty much the same to me.
    In school teachers assign us homework or class work that has to do with looking up information on the internet. Ever since we were little they told us to never use Wikipedia, nor trust what it says.
We've learn/ been told many times that the website let's you change the information, so anyone can change it. They could put no sense and you wouldn't know it cause you looking it up and want to learn about it, there for you don't know what information your taking in.
     Teachers strongly think we should not use Wikipedia.I'm pretty sure they don't want use to use it because they know that people can change what it says on the website. I have never asked why, I just remember when we were little that they said we shouldn't so I never did. I truly never ever believed that Wikipedia would change, I barley even remember it's a website that even up.
      If Wikipedia ever did change I don't know if I could trust it, I basically grew up without it thinking never to use it. If our teachers told use to use it because it changed then I would use, only because it's an assignment. I don't think Wikipedia will ever change, but that's just my opinion.

Web 2.0: Multimedia Blog Pre-Posting

         When I first came into his class I expected a hard stressful semester. I expect to fail the class and not pass the knowledge on the first time, I expected to have to pay for more tests and pass at the DMV. Now that I started the class I feel more confident in myself and in him as ateacher. The first week so far seems easy, for now.  

       This year I will be taking Drivers Education. My teacher is Mr. Vaccaro, teaches Drivers Education, Physical Education and Health. I've been in his classes more 5 years now, he's a really good teacher. At least that's what I think.Click here.
       So far I learned many laws, what to do and what not to do. So far were on chapter three; we went over how to probably use a seat belt and put it on, what a seat belt is used for. We learned about passenger safety and your responsible for them. We learned about infant seats, where they should be placed and how they should be placed. We also learned about stop reaction, hand signals, three point turn and parallel parking.

       The grading policy is  goes by tests, quizzes, projects, participation/activities/homework. Quizzes are 10%. Tests are 40%. Projects are 10%. Participation/activities /homework are 40%. Extra credit is 5%.
        One interesting aspect of this class is it tells me everything I need to know about driving. Not just the laws, but the fact that I get to learn about what certain things in a car actually does. All my childhood I wanted to know how cars worked and how to drive. In the class you learn about technology, how cars work and function.  This technology will help you in everyday if, if you want to use/drive a car. I'm really excited that I am taking this class, I can't believe in a year or two. There is even a website where you could practice your permit, link.

Educational Technology and Copyright Law

• Copyright is a Federal law that protects original "works of authorship".
• If anyone draws something or hums a tune, it's automatically copy righted. No paper work no nothing.
• If someone has a licensed image and you decide to use it, you have to give credit to the person who made/created it.
• There are fair uses of this law. If someone saw a picture of your doodle and decides to use it in the class room for teaching purposes then they are allowed to use it.
• Can you use images? Check if it has a license. If it is on the internet it's most likely ok to use the photo.
• Always give credit to the creator/source.
