Today we did a reflection for our first six weeks. It wasn't as log as I expected. Studied a bit, even though we didn't need it today because the software isn't working at the moment. At last worked on my brochure a bit and got some more cool pictures! And their citations.
1st Six Weeks Reflection
These first six weeks, I've progressed plenty. I've learned a lot about the mac's, much of which I didn't know could be done! Some of those topics were creating my own avatar, having my own blog, using pages, etc. These skills will help me in the future when I may have to use a Mac and am only required to use this specific computer. How to create, keep, and maintain a blog.

Today I finished my project. In the beginning there were struggles with transferring documents. Towards the end it was a rush! Trying to get everything done and uploading it to my blog, but all in all it was a fun productive day.

Today (September 15, 2010)
Today I think I worked efficiently. I completed my work with plenty of time left, watched each video. My biggest difficulty today was at the end when we had to do the three page documents. I didn't understand the directions all that well and had no idea what to do. Either way I didn't have time to do all three after i watched the videos.
Argentina
For my project I selected Argentina. The reason I chose it was because I thought it would be a really cool place to visit. Especially after my friend told me about it, the last time she went. The country has many tourists spots and lookouts.

Argentina
So far I've learned Argentina's capital, their large cities, customs and cultural differences. It is also the second largest country in South America behind Brazil.
Netiquette
- Show the e-mail to an adult and let them handle it.
- It's not okay because, it's a rude thing to do. If you just wanted to talk all night on the phone than you shouldn't have left the house in the first place.
- No it's not because, it's illegal.
- Yes because he wasn't sure about it in the first place but yet he still went to the link.
- No, it's not okay because it's not his work and it's plagiarism.
- No, because it's illegal.
- No, I don't believe its wrong.
- If they knew about it than yes it is disrespectful.

Meez vs. Voki
I like Meez better that Voki because Meez is in 3-D Voki isn't. Meez is more student interactive and creative. The avatar may move in similar ways that a human being may. The only thing I like about Voki is that it's avatars can talk.

Computer Hunt
The computer hunt was fun and challenging at the same time. We were able to learn how to use the computers. We also got to meet new people by helping each other. Over all the computer hunt was fun!
