Who do you look up to in life? Why? What have they done to help you or guide you?
I look up to my swim coach. I look up to her because she works hard to make us better swimmers and better people. She has helped me become a better swimmer by pushing me hard even when I am tired. She also has helped me and my team become better people by reading stories about people who made a positive impact in others lives, and having us discuss how we could do this.

Tell me about the global issue you selected yesterday.Restate your paragraph from yesterday.
The global issue I selected was global warming. I selected this global issue because I want to learn more about it, and I think other people should know about the effects of global warming.

If you could pick one issue in the world to fix or change what would it be and why?
The issue that I would fix is animals habitats being cut down for expansion or materials for expansion. I would fix this because it isn't fair that we are taking away animals homes so we can expand our cities and nations. The animals, that are having their homes taken away haven't hurt us in any way, but we are killing them by taking away the area where they find food and live. I think that we need to think about all of the consequences before making a decision that will affect the things that live around us.

What is a Public Service Announcement? If you don't know what it is, Google it. In your own words, now tell me what it is? What are they used for? Can you recall an example of a PSA you've seen before?
A Public Service Announcement is a video about a social issue change that needs to be made in order to better protect yourself and others. They are used to change people's belief or provide more information on a certain social issue. One PSA I have seen before was about bullying. It talked about how it harmed others and ways to stop it and get help.

Tell me about your three day weekend. How was it? What did you do? Elaborate!
This weekend I had a swim meet on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday I swam in three events including the 50 yard freestyle, 200 yard backstroke, and 100 yard freestyle. I swam about my same time on all of my events. On Sunday I swam 3 events including the 200 yard freestyle, 100 yard backstroke and the 1650 yard freestyle (that's a mile!). In my 200 free and 100 back I dropped time. I dropped 2 seconds in my 200 and .5 seconds in my 100. I swam the mile in 21 minutes and 43.96 seconds. On Monday, I just rested and did my homework. Overall, I had a good weekend.

What have you learned about Google Drive and Google Presentation so far? What do you like about it? What problems have you run in to? Is it better than PowerPoint?
I've learned that with Google Drive you can easily access different documents and presentations. With Google Presentation, I have learned that it's easy to put in links to pictures. I like how you can use Google Drive to access the presentation from different computers and you don't have to e-mail yourself any time you need to take a document home. I also like how it automatically saves. I haven't run into any problems so far. I think its better than PowerPoint because it automatically saves. I also like it better because you can access it from different computers without having to e-mail it.

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 don't agree with this statement because they had to put effort into making the image or picture. They should be credited for their work. If they don't care whether or not they get credit then I don't think that you should have to credit them. The Internet is a place to share your ideas and work, so people should get credit for what they do.

What do you want to learn in the class the semester? What information do you want to walk away with that you didn't know before? Elaborate!
Something that I want to learn this semester is how to be able to collaborate with other people on group projects. I also want to learn how to access one document from different computers without sending it as an attachment in an email every time. I want to also be able to use a computer more effectively and efficiently.
