Here are my check in notes from class:

 The image that shows how I am in school is the picture with the person flying and airplane. This shows me because I have worked really hard so far this year and just like the pilot of the plane has worked hard to get to that moment. I still have not gotten to that moment. That moment for me would be graduation. I right now am still working up to that moment of being in the airplane and successful.

 Social Media is the communication and interaction between people through technology in the world. An example of social media is twitter. On twitter yo are able to communicate with people all over the world. You are able to inform people of things that are going on quicker, faster, and easier. Twitter and any other social media have a big impact on society the days. Twitter can allow someone to talk to someone else from another part of the world. It has also had big impact on industries such as music artist and authors. On twitter they are able to promote things that they do so they had a fan base and are able to gain fans from all parts of the world. Social media as opened a lot of doors for people. Many people who have a twitter have there friends on there. social media has allowed not only teens but people of all ages to communicate with close friends and find friends they had lost touch with due to the lack of communication.

I definitely go on everyday but the time does vary. Some of the social networks I use are Skype, OoVoO, Facebook, and I text throughout the day. When I go on Facebook I talk to my friends and family that I don't get to see on an everyday basis. I think that the average teen spends 50 hours on a social networking site.

Who would be Time Magazine "Person of the Year"? I think that Time Magazines person of the year should be the CEO of Apple Steve Jobs. I think he should be the person of the year because he has advanced human technology in a short amount of time. With the creation of the iphone4 he has been able to help people communicate better, faster, and easier.

<span style="color: #9d1dd7; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> I think that we all do have a responsbility in reporting and publishing. When we publish the information that information will be used for more people out there wanting to know the same thing. When you report something it could mean two things that you let people know if there is something posted you don't like or if you report information about something. It is important that the information we share is true and not false so that people can obtain the correct information. Globalization will have a big part on out society and this could be one of the mot successful generation or the most damaging. I think after watching this i realized that we are responsible for the spread of ideas and the power of change is in our hands.

2/28/11 SOCIAL NETWORKING : OBSESSION or NECESSITY? Facebook...
 * 1) Allows you to communicate with people all over the world.
 * 2) Learn about things going on in the world.
 * 3) Make new friends.
 * 4) Be connected with old friends.
 * 5) Can let you express yourself.

3/1/11 SOCIAL NETWORKING : OBSESSION or NECESSITY?: Cont. There could have been possible danger in yesterdays story. when the girl went to search for her mom she couple have gotten requests from dangerous people. Instead of her mom finding her it could of been someone who wanted to kill her or something. Another danger was the person who obtained all the information and the person who actually found her not the daughter herself.

Notes on Facebook Obsession

Financial:
 * worth 50 billion dollars.
 * Microsoft offered 15 billion dollars to buy FB in 2007
 * Yahoo offered 1 billion dollars to buy FB
 * Goldman Sacs invested 500 million dollars in FB
 * FB took over the spot of being the most popular website in the U.S. which was formally held by google.

Social:
 * They only counted on having 400- 500 people and now there at 100,000 people and are still expanding.
 * There are more people on facebook than in the whole population of America.
 * Facebook gets 100 milion new users each week.
 * 1 in 12 people in he world utilize Facebook.
 * Now Facebook has 500 billion users.
 * 1.4 million is given by advertisers
 * Before Obama was president Facebook was blocked on al government computers.
 * Facebook has allowed the public to be more empowered like they never have before.

Dangers
 * Facebook can change your privacy setting whenever they want.
 * Facebook has the power to control you.
 * Facebook can watch what your doing.

Benefits
 * There is a new job in the government where the people work on and watch the social media
 * It could lead the police to find criminals.

3/2/11 SOCIAL NETWORKING : OBSESSION or NECESSITY?: Cont. No I do not think the idea was stolen because as Mark says it it was really there idea they would have made it themselves. I think that Facebook holds too much personal information because one day if the system does crash then where does all that information go and to who does it then belong to. Another reason is that all this information can be directed into the wrong hands and that person who obtains all this information can accumulate so much power of the people and do what ever they want. I think that Facebook should be totally private to the people who are not your friends. I think that there shouldn't be consequences for the things you post as long as its not illegal.

3/3/11 SOCIAL NETWORKING : OBSESSION or NECESSITY?: Cont. Yesterday I learned that Facebook makes the money though the people liking links and through the ads that companies pay to put up on Facebook for people to see. This is fair because it provides Facebook with money and the people with things that attract them. I that the government can be active in social networking but I don't think that they have the right to monitor our conversations and what we do.

It should be organized so its easy to obtain facts and look up information. The message the project should be fluent and clear to understand and it sticks to one topic. The most important is that it should be creative and interesting. it should grasp your attention and make you want to read more.

5/5/11 Check in: Multiple perspectives are important because this is a way you can obtain different views on one thing. This leads to different opinions from different people and different ways to explain one thing.

There should be forms of monitoring over social media because its not right that young kids are being bullied through the internet because what goes on the internet stays on the internet and it never goes away. In article one I read there was a 12 year old girl who was bullied by two formed friends. They called her horrible names and pretty much emotionally damaged her. I think that things like this are insane and that kids this young shouldn't be on social networks like this. In article two there was a boy in high school who ranked 50 girls. In the article it states he ranked them with, " <span style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #04b929; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">explicit, derogatory nicknames and assessed their physical appearance, sexual desirability, sexual activity and other characteristics." He was expelled from school and then charged with juvenile disorderly conduct. In article five it talks about how kids came forward to the principal about a boy who was writing vague threats on his FaceBook page. He didn't threaten anyone personally but he was taken into custody.

Sports (Soccer), Family, Clubs

Sports (Soccer) The purpose of soccer is that it keeps people active and gives them something to do. The beliefs of soccer is that lateness is not acceptable. Another is that you need to work as a team and be able to trust others on your team. The rules of soccer are to work together and follow through with passes and the main goals are to score or prevent the other team from scoring. The membership is both voluntary and involuntary because you can choose to join if you want to but once you do join you are expected to show up at all practices and games.

Family The purpose of family is that you will always have people there to help you with what you need and are there no matter what. The main belief of family is to have respect for others. The rule of family is that nobody gets left behind or forgotten. The membership of family is involuntary because you are born into your family and you are linked to them by blood.

Clubs the purpose of clubs is to
