Welcome to Online A class

Introduction to Class Blog: We’ll be using this site for teacher-to-student communication as well as student-to-student communication. My goal is to do at least one blog post per week. Generally I will post on Monday and you have until Friday to complete the weekly blog by leaving a comment.

Ground Rules: Before we get started we’ll have to set some ground rules. First of all, all postings to this site must use school appropriate language. When you post, write in complete sentences. Key your first and last name at the end of your post so I know who posted it (all posts are worth points). When commenting on another student’s post, keep your comments non-personal. You can agree or disagree with a comment but refrain from sarcasm and/or put-downs. State your position on the issue at hand and why you feel that way.

Your first post assignment: In a Word document respond to the following. When you are finished, spellcheck and proofread - be sure to key your first/last name at the end. 
  1. Have you ever blogged before?  
  2. What do you want to learn in this class? 
  3. Read the following quote and write a paragraph on what this means to you and how you can put this into an action plan.
Quote:  The future depends on what we do in the present. -  Gandhi.

Now, copy and paste your response as a comment on this blog using the comment link bottom right of this post.  Ask if you don't see it. Select the anonymous at the bottom and follow directions by entering security word verification given. 

Set-up a Yahoo Account if you don't already have one.  If you are going to use it for only school, you can set your user name as bhs followed by your student ID number.

  2. 1. Yes I have blogged today on twitter
    2. I want learn how to create my own blog and then make it popular
    3. This means that whatever we do now will affect all of our future. It also means that you should make good choices so that you don’t make your future bad. I can make this into a action plan by doing good things so good things happen in the future.

    2. In this class I would like to learn some online skills.
    3. This quote to me, means that if you make sure that you take care of the present it will affect the future in a positive way. An example of how people can do that is to recycle and to clean up the Earth so our future generations will have a clean environment. –Kyle Johnson

  5. 1. Yes, I blogged over the summer for an honors English 9 book report.
    2. I want to learn more about everyday technology and how to safely use it.
    3. I believe what Ghandi is saying is that right now, in the present, we make choices hundreds of times a day. For ever choice we make, there is a consequence that follows that choice. All of these different outcomes mould and shape what we will see in the future. Nathan Lange

  6. No I have never blogged before.
    I want to learn how to do new things on the computer.
    That means that what you do in the present will affect you later. I will put this in to action by recycling now so the earth is better later. I will also spend less time in a car so the earth will not get polluted later.

    2. Different tools on the web that are useful.
    3. What we are doing right now in our lives, is going to affect our future. Our grades are going to affect what college we get into, and the decisions we choose will change our lives.

  9. I beleive that a car like the airplane car from Oshkosh would sell to the right buyer. With the car economy, people would be looking for a car to last them a while, while others might be looking for the car's style. There are a lot of variables but, as I mentioned above, it all depends on the buyer.

    3. To me, the quote means that what you’re doing now is going to affect what you’re doing in the future. If you change what you’re doing now you can change what you’re going to do in the future.

  12. No, I have never blogged before. I would like to learn how to use different sites and use them faster.
    The quote “The future depends on what we do in the present” is a very true quote. This quote means that if you try here in the present then the future may change in the way that you acted. Also, if you don’t try hard enough nothing may come your way. You can put this quote into action by trying hard in the present and seeing that the future depends on how hard you try.

  14. 1. I have blogged for honors English before during the summer. We had to do about ten blogs for two books.
    2. In this class I want to learn how to understand my computer settings better, and learn new websites to go to on an everyday basis. I also want to learn more about computer safety, and how to protect my computer from viruses.
    3. The quote states that the future depends on what we do in the present. I could not agree more with this quote. If you sit around all day and do nothing with your life, that’s how your future will be too. If you expect to do great things in the future, you need to start doing great things now. With that mindset you can come up with an action plan that will allow you to be successful later on. – Rachel Lewandowski

  15. No, I have not blogged before. I plan to learn the basics and interesting facts so that I can teach my mom how to use a computer.
    I think that the quote “The future depends on what we do in the present” is true because, if we recycle and replant trees then we will be able to create and shape a better future for generations to come. If there is less global warming and more cars that don’t need gas and oil, then global warming will become less realistic and more science fiction.

  16. 1. I have never blogged.
    2. Something cool that I could do online.
    3. It doesn’t really mean anything to me at all. I know it’s sayings lifes what you want you just go to make it. If you do it how you want you get what you want nothing can change it besides you so forgive and forget No and be a better person. Lucas Wyatt

    Yes, I have blogged before for honors English.
    2.What do you want to learn in this class?
    I want to learn how to be better at using computers.
    3.“The future depends on what we do in the present.” Gandhi
    This quote explains that the future cannot change unless we do something to change it in the present. To me, this quote means that I can’t wait for someone else to change the world I have to change it myself so the world can be a better place. I will put this into an action plan when I am older.

  18. no i have never blogged. i would like to learn how to blog and more about web sites. The quote means to me that we need to do more efficient things to our environment. and if we don't it will be a planet that now human alive can fix. so we need to turn electric to solar and gas to effictent gas.

  19. 1. I have blogged before on several different sites.
    2. I would like to learn more about computers that could get me further in my career in the future.
    3. What we currently do affects the future. If you do something bad in the present, it will come back around in the future when you apply for a job or something for an income. The actions and risks we take now will come back to us. So, according to Gandhi, the future depend on what we do in the present.

    No, I have never blogged before.

    2. What do you want to learn in this class?
    I want to learn how to be smarter with using computers.

    3. Read the following quote and write a paragraph on what this means to you and how you can put this into an action plan.
    “The future depends on what we do in the present- Gandhi
    This quote means that what your actions are today you can’t go back and change them. Whatever you decide to do now can change on what happens in the future. I do not know how I will put this into action plan. I will decide that when I am older.

  24. 1. No I have never blogged before.
    2. In this class I would like to learn about using all this software.
    3. The future depends on what we do in the present which means what choices we choose to make today will affect our future. If we choose to study math now then in the future it will be harder to be a geologist. If we mess around and not do school work now then we will be less prepared in the future. Lucas Samples

  25. -No I have never blogged before.
    -I want to learn how to use more features on the Internet.
    -The future will change depending on what we do now. If we make a lot of good decisions now, we will have a better life in the future. To put this into action, you can clean the environment now and recycle so the future environment will be safe.

    2. I want to learn how to blog.
    3. What we do now is going to affect our future, which means if we do something good then our future will be good. But if we do something bad then our future will be bad. People always say that if everybody recycles there won’t be any global warming.

  28. 1. I have blogged before I had this class but I’m not very good at blogging.
    2. I want to learn how to use the computer more efficiently when looking up information and I want to know how to blog better.
    3. The quote means that whatever you do today will affect you in the future and what you have done in the past will also affect your future. So make the most out of life and live each day to the fullest. Live each day like it is your last because everything you do today will affect you in the future. Everything you do whether good or bad will shape your future whether you want it to or not. Sam Csurgo
