Journal - What are some qualities of a good presentation? How can you make a boring presentation interesting? Explain.
Presentations can be very entertaining, or very boring. There are some qualities that make a presentation good. First off, don't read things word for word, only say what you need to say. Second, add some pictures, give a visual for the people that you are presenting to. Third, have confidence, if you don't, it's going to feel very awkward. If you are presenting an idea, and if you can bring in an example, than you should, it will keep the audience very entertained. Finally, change up your voice.

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 with the statement above. I agree with it for several reasons, the first being, if you don't want something to be shared, then you shouldn't have it on the internet. Secondly, imagine if you couldn't use images from the internet, then people would have to take a picture of what they want to present, and upload it, which would take a lot time. Thirdly if someone blogs about a picture, why wouldn't they want other people to use it as well, wouldn't that person, want their picture to be well known?

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
There are a lot of creepy people in this world, and these creepy people can find out a lot of information about people on the web. Which is why it is important to keep your information limited to what you share. There have been incidents where some kids put a lot of personal information online, like there school, than some creepy old guy comes and kidnaps them. scary stuff like this does happen, so it is very important to be smart on the web. Some stuff that I do online, is that I don't become friends with anyone I don't know. I'm also careful of what pictures I upload, so that I don't give any personal information, by my clothing, or the background. When I was seven, there was an online game called club penguin, and there was an option for free chat, which is you can say what you wan't, and my parents and I chose not to activate that option.

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 sites are websites that you can post information on. There are hundreds of websites like that, but some of the most popular websites would be "Facebook", "Twitter", and "MySpace", seriously millions of people use these sites. how ever there are web 2.0 tools that are not meant for socializing, like "Linoit", that is a website used for taking notes or reminders. One of the most common web 2.0 websites are E-mail accounts, like "Yahoo" or "G-Mail"There are also websites that you wouldn't think would be a web 2.0, but there actually are, like "Youtube". There are also online games that are web 2.0, like "Minecraft". I personally don't use that many web 2.0 tools, the ones that I do use are Yahoo mail, blogger, linoit, G-mail, and Youtube. I post several different things on those websites, but I ultimately decide by who I am communicating with.

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."
I took a lot from watching Ashton Kutcher's speech, it made me realize new things. First off, it taught that to be successful in life, you have to work hard, and do your best. What good does it do if your not giving it 100%, you can't get better at something. Secondly it taught me that to be successful, you have to learn everyday, like he said "being sexy, is being smart". If I learn everyday, I will get better at what I do, and not repeat the same mistakes over and over again. Lastly, he taught me to be kind and generous. There is a saying, those who give will receive. If you are kind to someone, then they will be kind back.
What I think Ashton's quote "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." means, is that if you try hard enough, than you can change the way people live. If you give effort, than you can become extremely smart. You can influence people to becoming something. you can give your knowledge to someone else. That is what I think of Ashton's quote.
