High school pep rallies

The Pre-Thanksgiving pep rally was my first pep rally so I'm not sure what to expect, but it pretty fun.  Seeing the freshman basically beat the seniors in tug-o-war was pretty exciting.  The best part was deffinatly seeing Mr. Sullivan get pied. 

Formspring: A place to bash people behind there back

Formspring is site that was created late 2009 where you can ask people questions anonymously.  Unfourunatly thats not what usually happens.  People usually bash eachother anonymously.  Theres been several suicides due to formspring, most fomously Phoebe Price and Alexis Pilkington.  I thinnk thye should just shut down formspring and keep other people from commiting suicide to to a stupid site.

Relative Search

Finding people has never been easier.  Now all you have to do is search someones phone number and you found out where they live or if you type in their cell phone number you can triangulate their location.  Type in their name and you found their social networking sites and what blogs they've commented on.  I thought that only cops had some of this equipment but now its out for the public to use.

Slideshare

The tool i picked is slideshare. slideshare lets you share your presentation with millions instead of just letting it sit on your computer. this is good because it lets others get an idea on what to write about if they have the same topic to write about.

Facebook pictures getting "deleted"

http://coolcatteacher.blogspot.com/2010/10/facebook-photos-your-delete-doesnt-mean.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+CoolCatTeacherBlog+%28Cool+Cat+Teacher+Blog%29

After reading this article about how facebook keeps 'deleted' pictures for 30 months ill definatly think twice about what pictures i take.  Facebook shouldnt be allowed to keep pictures that YOU delete.  This can lead to you not getting into certain schools and certain jobs. Even though you shouldnt have taken that picture any way.

Why do students struggle with self-directed learning?

I think students are just to lazy to do things right when they're told to. We like doing things when we want to.

promoting my blog

To promote my blog i could post a link on facebook. I could also ask people who already read my blog to tell their friends to check it out. I could use anticipation so more people check my blog more often by telling them whats coming up next time so they check back every once in a while.
