Now that you've been in Emerging Technology for several weeks... what do you think? Do you think the web tools (Drive, Evernote, Bubbl, etc.) are helpful to you? Do you think they will be helpful throughout high school or even college? Explain

Emerging technology is a good class i actually have found new ways to create a ideas for papers like bubble and goggle drive. The web tools are really helpful because it make writing papers so much easier. I think this class will be really helpful through out high school with the web tools because many teachers don't give us this option and don't even know about it.

Do you enjoy writing? When do you enjoy it? What kind of writing do you enjoy? Why do you think the ability to write is so important no matter what kind of writing it is? Give an example that you enjoyed writing or hated writing. Why?

When I am writing it depends on what I am writing and when I am writing i usually like my handwriting very very neat because if its not I will go back and make sure everything is perfectly written. When I usually enjoy writing is when I am writing a topic that makes me interested like my global issues project that topic I am interested in. Most of the time I don't like writing because I usually have to do it for a grade and when it cunts as a grade I usually always want everything perfect and it takes me FOREVER to finish. Writing I enjoy is when the topic sparks interest like i enjoy writing about events that are major and current. The ability to write is extremely important because no matter what you are writing you need to now how to set up your paper and the correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation and you need a good TOPIC!!! Something I hated writing is when i had to write a essay for my ELA class this year because writing essay's doesn't excite me.

Reflect on this quote. Give an example of a time in your life that this might have been the case.

This quote means that when you think you are going to fail you get ready to think that you are and you end up failing because you already told yourself that you are going to fail. The first thing you have to do before you tell yourself your going to fail don't even think about it sand try it before you think your going to fail. The one time that this happened to me was on a test that I really didn't think I needed a lot of studying time well when I got the test I looked at it and I realized  should have studied and i regretted not studying for it and I ended up failing

What is the importance of research? Why do you need to know how to research? What have you learned in high school about researching topics and finding quality resources? Have you had a helpful teacher that has taught you to research? Explain.

The importance of research is to teach us on how significant events and stories can impact us. We do research because if we did not do research we would not know what any of this information was for example i would not know all this information on my global issues project with out any research. In high school I learned that researching items can go a whole lo easier with simply finding 3 or 4 main questions and having those as your base questions. Teachers that have helped me are Ms. Edwards when we were working on our global issues project we had a basic line of 3 or 4 questions and 6+ words to help us looking up our issue
