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.

• 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.
