I think with the new technology and apps for technology like Skype. With Skype we could hook up to the classroom from our own homes. This could eliminate school days and sick days. This would help the year go by quicker and eliminate the piles of work you get when you come back from being sick. this could also let the students be more comfortable when needing to learn. the downside is connection problems and social skills. If we had bad connection at our house and can not get the signal to your class the teacher might assume that you do not want to learn and are skipping. Also if we were always talking on the internet to people it would not help us talking to them in person. Skype is a good tool because it allows you to see the person you are talking you. There is also the possibility that a bad person will get the connection and that could not end well.

Car Miracle!
In the video above there is a car that can do something amazing. This car is driving itself. The day has finally come when a car is driving by itself with no help thanks to the Google team. They have built sensors to let the car know what is around it at all times. This could lower the DUI rate completely, it could help people without license and disabilities to be able to get where they want when they want by themselves. This is one of the greatest inventions ever made but that’s my opinion. I think this could make the roads safer and faster with less accidents and more intelligent drivers.

BHS Cafeteria Food
The BHS cafeteria food is not so great. Many of the meals are reheated and soggy. It barely tastes like it would if it was actually cook. Most of the food is not fresh and is mostly mystery meat. I do not eat it much but I sit at a table with many people and some of the comments are exactly the same. Although some of the food tastes good it is making us unhealthy. I am not blaming the lunch ladies but they should take charge and do something about it. There are some schools that do eat healthy here is a link to show what they are doing righthttp://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&channel=s&hl=en&source=hp&biw=1024&bih=603&q=healthy+eating+in+local+school&btnG=Google+Search

#22 find a mentor be a mentor
This year all of the freshman class kids got assigned a mentor. Mine was one of my brothers friends. it helped alot because i was not shy to talk to him. it also helped that he was smart. He talked alot and was very helpful. He showed me some tips and tricks to help with the first day. He was a good mentor and set a good example of what to do and what not to do. I am glad I had him as my mentor.

Change Your Enviroment 30 goal challenge
Last week our web 2.0 class went down to the cafeteria. We used IPads to look at cool apps to help us learn. It was a good experience because we are getting IPads next year so it let us get used to them. While in the cafe it was much better than being stuck in a small classroom. I would like to do it again because it was fun and helped me learn.

Osama's death
Last night I had just found that Osama bin laden had died. My brother came up to my room when i was asleep and whispered the news to me. At first I was shocked, then yes I was happy, but then I started to think could this be worse for America. Could their be more terrorist attacks due to his death?Does this put America in danger? This kept me up for awhile thinking but finally settled down and went to bed. This experiance reminded me again of 9/11 and was glad this guy was dead. There are already many sights on his death twitter has at least 200 tweets a minute and there is a facebook page with over 150,000 folowers and likes. This shows how much people wanted osama dead from the start and how hated he really was. I think this takes a huge amount of stress off the american soliders and the president to worry more about our country and less of threats in other countries.
