Welcome to My World

Introduction to Class Blog: We’ll be using this site for teacher-to-student communication as well as student-to-student communication. My goal is to do at least one blog post per week. Generally I will post on Monday and you have until Friday to complete the weekly blog by leaving a comment.

Ground Rules: Before we get started we’ll have to set some ground rules. First of all, all postings to this site must use school appropriate language. When you post, write in complete sentences. Key your first and last name at the end of your post so I know who posted it (all posts are worth points). When commenting on another student’s post, keep your comments non-personal. You can agree or disagree with a comment but refrain from sarcasm and/or put-downs. State your position on the issue at hand and why you feel that way.

Your first post assignment: In a Word document respond to the following. When you are finished, spell check and proofread - be sure to key your first/last name at the end.

    1. Have you ever blogged before?  
    2. What do you want to learn in this class?
    3. Read the following quote and write a paragraph on what this means to you and how you can put this into an action plan.

Quote:  The future depends on what we do in the present. -  Gandhi.

Now, copy and paste your response as a comment on this blog using the comment link bottom right of this post.  Ask if you don't see it. Select the anonymous at the bottom and follow directions by entering security word verification given.

  1. 1. No, I have not blogged before.
    2. I plan to learn what I didn’t know when I came in this summer to test out of this class.
    3. The quote, “The future depends on what we do in the present.” , by Gandhi, means to me that if we don’t try our hardest to do our best in the present, our future won’t be as great as we want it to be.

  2. 1. Yes
    2. New things about photo editors (Ex: GIMP), Microsoft Word, Power Point, and Excel
    3. This says many things to me. For example: if you want to become a vet, you can’t take a History class in college, and expect to become a successful vet. You have to take what classes are needed. It also says that in the end, every little thing counts. Every door you slammed, every essay you wrote, every text you sent, everything. So, you might as well be careful about your choices and make the right ones now, rather than try to fix the wrong ones you made in the past later. I can put this into action by being careful about my answers, and paying attentions to things that I do.

  3. 1. In 7th and 8th grade i used to use my blog spot almost every day. I loved to blog and I loved to have a way to write how my day went and what happened and my friends and family could all openly read what went on. Now i mainly use twitter and occasionally Facebook.
    2. In this class i would like to learn how to use Google docs. And get a better understanding of Igoogle
    3. This quote to me means, that today’s decisions affect tomorrow. If you decide that you are going to punch a kid in the face during a class then tomorrow you need to be able to deal with the consequences that come along with it. I am a strong believer that no matter how dirty or how bad your past is, your future is clean and the way that you live your life is going to affect your future. If you are a hard working loyal friend then your future could be very rewarding. But if you are lazy and a liar your future is how you many the present

  4. 1. Have you ever blogged before?
    Yes, I have blogged before. In an English class I had we used the blog to do homework and assignments every day.
    2. What do you want to learn in this class?
    In this class I would like to learn how to use the microphone and new programs such as Photoshop.
    3. “The future depends on what we do in the present”.-Gandhi What does this mean?
    This means if we don’t change pollution, littering or any laws that have been lenient that they will get worse and soon and turn into a big problem in the future. But it can also connect to life such as if you don’t do good in school now it will affect your life forever.

    3. Read the following quote and write a paragraph on what this means to you and how you can put this into an action plan.
    Quote: The future depends on what we do in the present. - Gandhi.

    This quote is mostly saying that anything we do in the present will affect what happens in the future. For example, if I got 3 penalty halls in my 4 years of high school then it would go on my permanent record.

  11. 1. Yes, I have blogged before.
    2. I would like to learn new things that I never knew before i came into this class.
    3. "The future depends on what we do in the present." I believe this quote means that what we do in the present will lead to a better future, if you are trying your hardest. But if you make terrible decisions at the moment then you will not get through life easily. Your future depends on your present.

  14. 1.) I blogged this summer for Honors English.

    2.) I want to learn what I got wrong on the test out this summer.

    3.) Gandhi was a believer in non violence and world peace. When he said this, he wanted to make a note for the future generations to come. He wanted us to know that there can never be peace if we ruin the present. He wanted us all to live in harmony and not in combat. Gandhi wanted us to try harder when it was our turn to walk the Earth.

    The future does depend on what we do in the present. This means to me that what you do now will determine what you will do in the future.

    3. How hard you work now will determine how you turn out in the future. If you work hard now you will most likely succeed in the future, but if you don’t work hard now you will not succeed in the future.

  19. 1. Yes i have blogged before
    2. I wish to be a faster typer
    3. This quote means to try your hardest everyday and to never give up. I believe this quote has deep meaning and is very detailed. I always believe that what you do in the presant will count for what you do in the future. So I think he is saying to always try your best no matter what the situation is and always keep working hard.

    The future does depend on what we do in the present. This means to me that what you do now will determine what you will do in the future. For example if I got horrible grades all through high school, then I would not be able to get into a decent collage. Also I would most likely have a job at a fast food restaurant.

You can turn this in to an action plan by always trying to do your best, don’t get a penalty hall because it can go on you permanent record and will affect how college’s accept you.

    3. This quote means that you control your own future and what you do in the present will affect your future. To insure you have a great future do your best at everything in the present.

  23. 1.Yes, I have blogged before. In 8th grade my English teacher Mr. Masters had a blog for a book we worked on called The Hobbit.
    2.In this class, I would like to learn more about the internet and how to work with it. Learning new things about the internet and about computer will help me with my future years or education and possibly in my career.
    3.To me the quote” The future depends on what we do in the present.” - Gandhi means that if work hard as a student you will have a better future. The more education and experience you have, the more opportunities you will have later on in like. It’s kind of like a chain reaction.

  24. 1. Have you ever blogged before?
    • I have never blogged before, but I have responded to a blog made by my 8th grade English teacher.
    2. What would you like to learn in this class?
    • In this class I would like to learn how to use Photoshop and know proper netiquette.
    3. Read the following quote and write a paragraph on what this means to you and how you can put this into an action plan. “The future depends on what we do in the present.” –Gandhi
    • To me, this quote means do all that you can now and it will pay off in the end. For example, at the end of high school I want to go to a good college, athletically and academically. This means, I have to do everything I can now to earn all A’s and participate in a lot of extracurricular activities for a good college education. Some things I could do could be doing all my homework every night and take some college classes that relate to the kind of career that I want.

  26. 1. I have blogged before in my Honors English class.
    2. In this class I would like to learn about as much as I can to strengthen my knowledge about computers and the programs you can use like Excel and Power Point.
    3. I think the quote means to try your best because the future depends on how much hard work you put in. Like to make the US less polluted like reducing the need for fuel, litter, and global warming.

  29. 1.) Yes, I have blogged before.
    2.) The things about the computer that I don't know.
    3.) To me it means, What I do now will make my future. I can put it into an action plan by finding things to do that will make my future better, like if I see a problem that some people have and I don't want to end up in that possition in the future then I think of things to do that won't put me in that situation.
