31st blog post

Well today in class we learned about the unused words or words that do not get checked when researching on the interent. Words like he she and they dont get used so they are basically pointless when you research topics. Use only the mian words and the words that matter. It is important to know this when researching a topic.

29th blog post

Well today was the day of the quiz and i made sure that i studied the night before. I felt confident going into it and think i did really good. I remembered the hint that she showed us for the 1st and 7th step and from there i kept going. Then we went back to the lab to finish making our videos. Mine video has two people in it and is pretty complex if i say so myself.

If there was a reading assignment,what did you learn from it? What did you not understand? What prior knowledge did you bring to the reading material?


Today i found an article that related to bullying. The effect on bullying can have a harsh effect on the victim. With all the recent suicides with anti gay bullying its time to take action more than ever. Bullying can easly cause suicide thoughts and that a major effect of bullying. It was sad to read about these young kids who took their life because of other kids bullying them.

Today i looked up the dallas cowboys and the gale database. I found 2943 related articles and found one article that intrested me. It was about their recent struggles and now that thier qb is about it makes winning for them that much harder. The article spoke the truth and i thought that it was hard for a cowboy fan to read this.
