Public Service Announcement

Monday, January 27th

If you could pick one issue in the world to fix or change what would it be and why?

If i could fix one issue it would be world hunger. I would choose this because there are people starving and dying of thirst and malnutrition, and yet we are here dining in whatever food we want from wherever we want it. It just does not make sense to me that more people are not taking action on this major issue in our world today. I see it as the worlds number one main issue. I would even put this issue over topics such as war.

What is a Public Service Announcement? If you don't know what it is, Google it. In your own words, now tell me what it is? What are they used for? Can you recall an example of a PSA you've seen before?

A public service announcement is a notice usually sent out by the government on television, radio or internet. the message to change the view or opinion of the public on a certain topic. These originally came to use before and during WWII and have been in use ever since. But in my lifetime I do not remember a public service announcement.

Tell me about your three day weekend. How was it? What did you do? Elaborate!

For me, the three day weekend was a very relaxing and fun time. First off, since we got off school early on Friday I went out to eat with a few of my good friends. After that I went to a workout for football then spent that night with the same friends. Saturday morning I was up bright and early for work. I am employed at Grass Pad on 199th street right of 69 highway. I worked 7:45 to 5 that night. And after a long days work I went out with a few of my friends to go to a party. Then on Sunday I got up for church and then in the afternoon I had a basketball game which we ended up loosing. And Finally on Monday since we didnt have school i spent the whole day in bed and doing homework.

Who am i Presentation

Wednesday, January 15

What have you learned about Google Drive and Google Presentation so far? What do you like about it? What problems have you run in to? Is it better than PowerPoint? 

So far i have learned that Google presentation is very easy to use. I have explored a lot of the many customization options Google Presentation and Google Drive have presented me. But so far i have only found one down side of Google Presentation, and that is that you cannot crop a picture once it is inserted into the document. Finally, if I had the  option to choose between Google Presentation and PowerPoint I would most likely stick with PowerPoint for a few reasons. These reasons include the customization is much easier to use in my book, and also I am very used to using PowerPoint and am new to Google Presentation.

Tell me if you agree with this statement and then explain why or why not. "Images on the internet are 'free game' - if someone posted I should be able to use it."

I do agree with this statement that if someone posts a picture on a website, social media, blog etc. the picture is up for the whole world to see. And I Personally believe that if someone puts something on the internet they are consenting to the fact that anyone, anywhere in the world can view that photo.

What do you want to learn in the class the semester? What information do you want to walk away with that you didn't know before? Elaborate!

I would like to walk out of this class with more information about technology and how to use it to my advantage, such as in college or even in high school. I would like to be able to use the internet and different programs more effectively and efficiently.
