blog #17 summerize articles about facebook

I write after reading the articles on Facebook. These articles actually intrigued me very much. If there is ever a blog in which I can easily write four hundred words this one.
The article that got my attention the most was "Facebook sparks suspicion" I love this article because of the truth it has to it. Its EXACTLY like My Space and yes it does spark suspicion. Of course it starts trouble! Anybody that is in a committed relationship and is actually being real and has good intentions for it would agree. You only put out there what you want people to see and you only want people to see what you are proud of. So yes it will spark suspicion. The thing is you can manage your page.. So if somebody writes on your wall and you chose not to take it down then you proud of it. With that your partner has every right to suspect. You also have the ability to block users. So if there is something being said that you don't like, block the user. So I think that spark of suspicion has merit.
The other article "Colleges scanning Facebook During Admissions" goes back to my first paragraph you put out there what you are proud of. Do I think it is a step to far?," YES!!" A persons personal life should not have say to how far they can go academically. At the same time these pages are made public because you chose to make them so. This might make it just for a college to factor in the kind of person they are allowing to sport their school name proudly. So if they chose to go on you facebook there should be nothing there that you are not proud of. If there is things you are ashamed of and they get seen that is to your discretion. The article also states that the colleges might just be using this as a excuse to turn away people they might be judging. I agree with this.
Another article "Jury Out on Facebook's Impact on Grades" . This article is about studies done on students in which students with a facebook page have lower grades. But after more studies the low grades were do to poor study habits.

Blog # 16 todays exp...

I' am sorry to say that writing this blog is actually going to be very hard for me if not impossible. I was not in class that day and I do not know what to write about. So I post this blog to keep up my count but also to be honest.

Blog # 15 our class room exprience

This blog is to be about our experience in the writing center when working with a tutor to finish our essays. I think this is an awesome ideal, but it adds the realization of college life. There is a lot more to keep with then I have realized. I was not able to attend these sessions this time around due to all the little curves that life has thrown me. I can simply talk on my previous experience. Working with the tutors and going to the writing center makes it real. It gives us one on one experience. It goes back to what I have said previously, sometimes students will not shine in front of everybody but, with a one on one experience it helps the student to shine bright. When I took the exam to get into college I scored well in the English section , but I scored a five on my essay part when I needed a six. These one on one tutoring session are exactly what I need to get up to par. It is these real tutoring sessions that insure us to get a passing grade. There is ABSOLUTELY no reason for us to get a failing grade. But sometimes it is also easier said then done.
When I work with the tutors I sometimes feel intimated when I first walk in, but the tutors make it easy to feel comfortable. I 'am a loyal creature so when I do go back I will stick to the same tutor. Going to a different tutor each time just might it difficult. Each tutor has a different way of teaching. So by me going to the same tutor I might be able to make better progress.
When you do go in to the writing center to get help you have to let the tutor know exactly what is expected from the assignment by the teacher. Because if you do not they might give you the wrong thing to do. The tutor will then focus on the wrong point of the assignment. This will make your time useless and pointless. So my advice so everybody that goes into the writing center is, to be crystal clear when you go to work with the tutor.
What I wish I could get out of it is actually not having to go so much. I feel that maybe students that need the help the most should be made to go. At the same time as I have previously wrote I understand this is only the teacher trying to help us do our very best. I guess this is to ensure we reach our full potential. This is a great ideal for beginning students

Blog #14 commenting on other people blogs.

Today in class we had to comment on two other students blogs. I had never really read anybody elses blog. Sometimes they are not easy to write. I find myself bull shitting on these blog just to make them long enough to reach my three hundred or two hundred goal word goal. But when I focus and try really hard the words just flow out. I find I 'am no longer trying to reach my goal, but I 'am then expressing how I feel.
I was actually impressed with the blogs I did read. I can see the potential of some of the students. See we joke in class a lot. Since I 'am A bit older then most students I sometimes see there goofing off and lack of focus as a sign that they don't care much for the class. I have heard it put best my a few of my teachers. We are the ones paying for the classes so get what you can out of them. After I read two blogs I saw passion in the writing. The blogs were actually very good. I have not read any others since then, but I can only assume they get better as I feel mine are. So I guess it is true that you can not judge a book by its cover.
Commenting on the blogs was another thing. How can you come up with two hundred words to tell a person what you think about their blog. I mean who are we to criticize. But at the same time you might get good support from your peers. The experience if anything helped me see the motivation of other students.

Blog # 13 Todays exprience

Today in class we worked with team members to create a time line for our descriptive essay. This was and is actually a big help. It helps us be more specific and gets us started and in order. The time line helps put detail in on essay, without losing good timing. What I mean by that is, I wrote a blog giving a brief description of the vlog I' am writing about. When I wrote it, as you can read. It was very unorganized. It goes back and fourth between describing the girl to the intro to what she is talking about. But with this time line, it helps keep it organized and more detailed. I can have a beginning, middle, and an end. Then between those I will also have mini paragraphs adding more descriptive detail. also with this essay, we are giving more detail. We are trying to make the person see and feel the vlog as we do, but without them seeing for themselves. With the last essay we only had to write a very proper email to our fake teacher and properly ask them to fix it. We also have to explain why and use very little emotion. We were trying to be professional. I would think with this essay we will be putting a lot more emotion to help us give a better feel for the vlog we are writing about. I also liked the fact that we are all given a chance to ask one question in class. Sometimes the questions the other students ask, are questions that you yourself do not realize you have. At time the questions asked are questions that we might of be embarrassed to ask ourselves. I think these in class workshops are great. They give us a great opportunity to improve. They also help other students become leaders. Sometimes you just have to be given the chance to shine in order to do so. I think it is a great thing that we are allowed to give our fellow students help. I think that that helps some students feel less intimidated. So it seems more like help instead of criticism.

Blog# 12 brief descritption of vlog.

Today I watched a vlog on You Tube. I search through a lot of different video vlogs. I finally got tired of looking and stopped on Jolene's first car vlog. It was posted a year ago. You can find at at Jolene Sugar Baker's 1st automobile vlog. Honk Honk!. The words scrolling across the screen say trailer park trash. When Jolene finally comes in the picture, you see a woman badly dressed and with horrific make up. It is the ideal look of trailer park trash. Once you look closer you can clearly see she is a drag queen. He/she is driving in her/his car. You can see in the background cars passing by, people, stores and houses. She also keeps turning. It is a bright sun shinny day. She keeps talking with this bright red lipstick on. Her eye shadow is a Bright blue. Like that girl from the Drew Carey show. You know that big one named Mimi. She has a blond wig on and very large earrings that look like a bundle of grapes hanging from her ear. She talks with a southern ac sent. She keep rambling on and on about her days and other vlogs. She says she is on her way to work. She seems very friendly and homely. She is dressed like an older woman. That grandmother look. She has sun glasses on her head. Her make up at times looks like the joker from batman. She has a white sweater on over her flowered blouse. The blouse is a dark blue with a colorful flowered print. The into to the vlog is a badly animated carton of a silver shiny round trailer. The song says she is the trailer park queen. She has her seat belt on and a small pin that says you tube. She also has a flower on one side of her hair.. She is clearly over accessorized. The whole time you are watching the vlog there are pop up advertisements of novelty shirts of plumbers. She is talking about the plumbing going bad in the trailer park. She also says her water heater is busted. This is a brief unorganized description of the vlog I have chosen.

Blog #11 anthropological intro to you tube.

I'm writing my opinion on the Anthropological Introduction to You Tube by Mike Wesch. I'm part of a dying breed of people myself. You know the old fashion type who is not very computer savvy. The most I have used on the Internet is my space. On some occasions I have used you tube. The reason I have steered away from You Tube is because of the many controversial video they allow to be posted. I have never been able to understand the reason people watch it. I don't know what it is I 'am more disgusted with, the people that put these horrific things on You Tube or the millions of viewers that subject themselves to watching these videos over and over. On the contrary, I' am also impressed with how far we have come from picture tubes and mystery theatre. These videos allow us to express ourselves. Even if we express ourselves to a very small audience. You Tube now gives us the ability to watch movies we can't buy or soap operas episodes that have not yet come to network television. We can also see dance moves we don't know or sadly, even learn how to make a bomb. So then the debate begins is You Tube a convenience or a beginning to an end of morals and conscience??Think about it..If we watch the movies on You Tube,then we don't buy them. So would that mean we are stealing from the very people who are trying to earn a living by producing these videos on counter shelves. There are also such videos as people getting beat to death or the tragic death of the crocodile hunter. Why post such sadness. Is You Tube good or bad?
