Titans Love Their Hand-Free Scooters

The Tennessean

The Tennessee Titans football team have players.  They are riding the self-balancing hands free scooters.  They are riding them around the locker room before games/practice.  They riding them in the stadium before games and practices in the locker room.  They are riding them because they are fun and a cool new technology.

This relates to emerging technology because the hands free scooter is a really cool new technology that a lot of people want to have. Something cool that I learned was a lot of the players just ride around the stadium for fun, and when they go to the film room they get off of them and they are all lined up like a “nerdy biker gang” would do.

It is like a chart of diagram that can represent information or data. The purpose is to help convince people of something and show them the good/bad things about it. The type of information displayed should all be facts, that can help persuade the viewer of your topic/issue. It can help convey the message buy having great supporting facts and a good graph/chart. You may use an infographic when presenting survey data.

Wildlife Essay with comments

Cole and Siler did their comments. But I his "resolve" on them and one of Chris' and they went away. But they did them.

Do less with more focus...

Think about the quote above. What does this mean to you? How could this apply to your life? How could this apply to your school work?  I would love to give you less work in class if it meant you were going to focus harder on the work. Do you think you would get more out of it? Would that work for you? Why or why not?

I think this means when you focus too hard, you can't get a lot done. I know that is what it is with me. When I try and focus really hard, and focus too hard. I don't get a whole lot done. With my life, I need to focus, but not at 100% so I can get things done. With my school work, like when working on essays if I focus too hard I get frustrated and don't get anything done. Just like the first couple days when we were working on our essays in this class, when I relaxed I got a lot of work done. When I am taking notes and learning something new, that is when I really need to focus in so I can get the stuff in my mind, like in math so I know how to do the problems. This works for me, because when I don't focus 100% when working on projects I relax some and get a lot of work done. When learning something new I focus 100% to learn the stuff, then relax and get the work done. 

Tell me what you believe this cartoon is trying to say. Do you agree or disagree with this idea? Try and look at this from two different perspectives. What is your perspective? What would be an adult/teacher's perspective?


I believe this cartoon is trying to say that Americans don't have good study habits. We don't focus on the studying and get sidetracked by music, other things on our phone, and TV. And that other countries like China and India have children that focus on their studies and really care. I agree with this because in China, they are really good at math and in India they are really good at science, that is what they do. A teachers perspective on this, is probably about the same as mine. American has a lot of kids that do not have good study habits, and that is why they don't do good in classes. Other countries have kids that do have good study habits, and their parents would be very angry if their child had a B like an 89.99%, they want their child to have all A's. Here in America parents are okay if their child has a B or a C, they want them to have A's, but don't care as much.

Homecoming Weekend

Homecoming weekend was pretty fun, but it wasn't exactly what I had hoped for. We went to dinner at Garozzo's Italian restaurant, that was probably me favorite part of the weekend. The dance was the part that wasn't exactly what I had hoped for, it wasn't as fun as expected. But overall it was a fun weekend.

Homecoming Weekend

The thing I am most excited for during Homecoming weekend is the Homecoming Dance. I am going to the Homecoming football game tonight. Our group has reservations at Garozzos Italian restaurant Saturday evening, then we will go to the dance.

Ted Talk Reflection/Questions (Repost)

Do you agree: Yes I agree with it.
Why: Because people spend too much time on their cell phones and need to get off them and spend time with people and interact with them.
Will I change current behavior: I will, I believe I spend too much time on my phone.
Impact: I think the future will be just like what the Ted Talk doesn't want to happen. People will be on their phones all the time and rely on technology and not interact with people as much as they should. They will go into isolation.

Wildlife Extinction

There are more animals than I thought that are endangered and ready to go extinct. I thought there were only a few species in the world that were endangered, but there are 50 species that are considered "Critically Endangered" or "Endangered". There are almost 56 billion wild animals that are killed each year, which isn't helping with Wildlife Extinction.
