I love music. Listening to my iPod in school really helps me concentrate. Many adults say that you can't concentrate while you listen to music and do work, but really it helps me so much more. I don't know why but it really does. I love music and it's a huge part of my life. I get so much more work done during class while i listen to my iPod, too. It also bothers me when teachers say to take it out because they don't realize it's actually help me focus.

Presentaion

I do think I would want to go to a school for art, not necessarily web design (sorry mr.mistler!) but maybe for something similar with art. I think it's very interesting and it could take me far. I also think it's very interesting how many different things you can branch off of if you go to art school.

Photoshop

I like photoshop because it allows you to be so diverse with everything! Its awesome how the possibilites are infinte. The only thing I dont't like about it is how there are different layers because sometimes it can get confusing and you can get different layers mixed up. It's popular because you can do whatever you want on it and people love the freedom. I think at first it is difficult to understand and use, but with the right instructions it will get easier eventually. For example, at first when I started recreating my web page project, I had NO idea what I was doing with photoshop, but then I got taught many different tricks and tools, and now I'm a lot better at managing it.

BHS 1:1 implementation

I do think the 1:1 implementation is a semi-good idea because it helps with note taking and also will benefit people in organization, too. I also think it's a bad idea because kids can often get side tracked on the computers with facebook and other websites. I do think it will happen soon, and the school should pay for it because they made a big hype about it and if the students end up having to pay for it, some might not be able to afford the computers leaving some students at a disadvantage almost.

Someone else's blog

The blog I looked at was http://odd-dolls.blogspot.com/ . This person makes very odd looking dolls for a living and posts pictures of them and describes them on their blog. The dolls are all very weird looking, but creative! They all remind me of halloween-type dolls, because they're all creepy looking. His dolls are all very unique, but I don't know if anyone would buy one...

Favorite Website

My favorite website is Facebook. Facebook is a social networking website where you can keep in touch with friends/family and new people. Facebook is my favorite website because I'm always on it talking to friends and keeping up with what's going on. The main colors on the webpage is blue and white. The navigation is on the far right side of the page at the very top. The name of the webpage is on the far right at the top in bolded letters that are white. It is easy to use becuase everything is labeled and you can clearly see what to click. What works well is the news feed and how it's the main part of the home page on Facebook, and what doesn't work well is how small some of the fonts are. 

My history of the internet

When I first started using the internet, I was in 3rd grade. I remember my dad downloaded AIM for me and my brother for Christmas. We were pumped because we never really used the internet and I didn't really know how anyways. Also, a big thing back when I used AIM was getting icons for the side of you instant message box, so I would always go on the internet looking for different icons to put there. Other than that, I didn't really use the internet for anything big up until 5th grade. In 5th grade we started taking computer classes and got taught how to search the web and do all kinds of neat things. I immediatly went home and did so many things. For example, I searched games, people, anything. Now, I mostly use it for homework or school purposes and of course, Facebook. I think I will use it in the future to search topics for papers in school and to still use social networking websites.
