I Won!!!

Do Now: Jan-14-2008

What have you learned from this class. What projects would you recommend I continue doing? What have you liked about this class and what can I do better?

I actually love this class the way it is without changing it. What I would adjust are small things not big things. I would add a teacher aid to the Tech Lab, because Mrs.Hinojosa works to hard to do many things. I would like easier computers maybe like not Mac, but maybe HP. It's not that I don't like them, it is that they are too expensive and I don't even want to get close to them sometimes because I'm scared they might fall. I also would suggest to ask students if they own a computer with Internet so that they could keep track and asks us to do homework in our blog. The reason i say that is, because we waste time in class re-typing all our essays and stuff. Other than that I'm okay with everything else. I loved the little book we did where we keep our definitions with the pictures, because it was not only to learn it better,but it was fun to do. We could draw whatever we wanted and I think that's what makes it awesome. I also liked the tests because they were easy and they weren't those tests that have like 100 questions in them it had we had learned on that lesson we were on.  I liked that Mrs. Hinojosa made us do as Do Now's, because it trained me to express myself and write more like teacher ask like in essays and they ask for 1 1/2 pages or more it's easy for me, well most of the time.I also liked the Gmail thing, because we could post and show around the world what Idea Mission does.

Yes it helps me prepare myself. It helps me get prepared for anything, because when I take tests I remember about it. I also remember them by doing them over and over again. It not only prepares me, but it is also very fun.

Explain how you can use email in the real-business world. What is the importance of learning how to use an attachment?
You could use e-mail like I've said before to send or give important information to one another. For example, a principal could give a fire drill but the teachers may not know and the principal has to tell all the staff in 5 minutes. Well, if she send a an email telling them she could send the same thing to over maybe 100 or more people. Another example, if a bank owner had to tell all the managers of all the banks they had to close at 10:30 am and it was about 10:00 he couldn't call over 20 manager in 20 or 30 minutes he could send an email. It is important to know how to attach because when you have to send a document you did in word or maybe a power point presentation you just have to attach it in the email.

Do Now JAN-8-2009

You don't want to send an e-mail that contains your e-mail address attached to your document. It is important to know how to send bcc e- mail so that other people don't know who you send it to. It could send to someone else, and they could see someone else's  e-mail. They could  start sending the person spam or maybe attachments that contain viruses. It is important to learn about attachments and e-mail. It is important to learn how to use e-mail, because it is much easier and faster than regular mail. What if you have to send an important notice to 10 people at once, and it has to get to them in 2 hours. If you send it today it will probably get to them in 1 or 2 days. But if you use e-mail it delivers in about 5 or maybe 2 minutes. It is important to know how to attach files and documents for the same reason you won't have to write everything up if you already typed and saved in Microsoft Word. Just, learn to attach it and send it.

Do Now: 01/07/2009

My vacations were okay I guess. Well, my family came to my house, and my cousin stayed at my house for almost a week. It was fun at first, but then we started fighting. It was kind of boring, because I had nothing to do. Actually, the best thing I did was watch TV and eat. I went to the dentist and they told me I had gingivitis. I was like so mad. The dentist said I could fix it by just eating vegetables. I thought it was gross, because I hate vegetables. I rather eat icky vegetables than to lose my teeth. My vacations were good, because I got to see my family and had a good Christmas. I started the year giving thanks to god for the good, and bad things that happened to us in 2008. I really appreciated my vacations of Christmas and New Year.
