School

If I could create my own blogging prompt, I would base it off school.

If you had a choice, what would you change about your school? I would want to create better classes for high school students to chose from. I feel that if the students like the class that they are taking they are likely to receive a higher grade. I think young men would rather take a hunting class over an art class. Most ladies would pick an art class, if they had a choice between art and a shop class. When interviewing other high school students I realized how many different things people would like to change about their school. Several students said they would like to change the lunches, the way they are taught, and even a few of the teachers. If the students like the method of teaching they will have a higher change to learn something new. In conclusion, almost everyone said that would they would like to change the length of their classes and the classes they get to chose from. If you had the choice to change one thing about school, what would it be?

Blogging Challenge

When visiting http://studentfriends.edublogs.org/, I learned how many different things can be bring people together. The easiest way to bring people together is simply to be their friend. Bringing people together can be done by friendship, greeting cards, and kind actions. An example of a greeting card, would be someone saying, congratulations to someone else. A kind action, that brings people together could be a person giving someone else money. A rich person might give a needy or poor person some money, to get through hard times. Bringing people together can be done from different cultures and social rankings. This can build multiculturalism understanding, reducing prejudice and intolerance. These are just a few of the many ways to bring people together.

Global Warming

Global warming effects many things worldwide. Thunderstorms, temperature, greenhouse gases, fuels, and global sea level, are just a few items that are effect due to global warming. It not only changes the overall temperatures that we experience here on earth, but it also effects the way we live. Within the last century earth's temperature has risen over 1 degree Fahrenheit. The change in temperature has been linked to human activity within the last couple years. Global warming has caused sea levels to rise 4-8 inches. The increase in the sea level may have an effect on the number of tsunamis that we experience. In 1997 the United States released 20% of the greenhouse gases. That number has rose significantly within the last 12 years. Thunderstorms are creating a big problem because of the temperature changes that accrue. When the temperatures change or don't change at all for all a long period of time, the gases can't react properly. When temperatures and gases don't mix correctly it produces hurricanes, tsunamis, and other deadly disasters. Global warming is a issue that we should all help eliminate.

Footprint

When researching my personal information in google, I wasn't able to find much about me. I was allowed to find information like my name, some of my email addresses, and my date of birth. I was unable to locate my name associated with the town I live in, my family members, etc. I found many famous people with the same name as me, however they have a different way of spelling their name. I know that when I am creating a website, that I should never give out any personal information. Some information such as my full name, address, full date of birth, ect should never be given away. When you become an adult you may be able to give out more information such as your name. You should always be careful on how much information you are giving away.
