Social Networking-Kepping

Social Media can be very helpfull, for example by letting you comunicated with your friends, plan parties and more fun stuff; however it can also be very damiging. This is determine by how the people put a use to it. Social Media is often use to express the fellings of the poeple, good and bad. As your not with the person your arguin with, you obtain more liberty to express how you feel, as for the moment you don't have to see their reaction or their expresions. This is way people preffer to fight by computer than face to face, of course in my opinion this is a cowered way to solve things. Any kind of fighting is bad and almost always it lets a lot of resentment in the back. Online fighting cause more harm than good, its yust an easier way to release your probloms. In conclusion, people express more open their feallings by computer than in person because they aren't in front of a person that will react, in a good or bad way.

Digital Media in School

Cheating has always been a great issue in the educational system through the world;however with the Internet has become more easy than always. Cheating is when you use somebody's work and put you name on it (as it was yours), they can be with a little bit or the whole paper. Know a days students have a very easy way of copying, they can yust turn on their computer and type what ever they need in Google and millions of results will come up, they have it all free. Educational Institutions have been fighting since education started to stop copying, but theur battle yust multiply by 100 (at least). They are many types of cheating, like using other peoples work, using Cliffnotes, getting the answers (orally) from another person etc. The parameters of cheating must be decided by the Istitution. In conclusion, cheating is bad and you should do it.

Internet at Home

Since the Internet has existed parents had have problems with their children about what they do in the web. Everybody knows that the web can be dangerous, they are sex predators and other people that wish to make harm to other. For this an more reasons, the PBS produce a video clip in their show Frontline to inform everybody about what happens in the web. The video was made to inform the parents of what their children are doing in the web. They use a very vulgar technique to attract the attention of the parents, if you ask me. They use heavy words to get their attention, for example they use sexual predators, raping and assaults. This of course scares our parents and makes them worried more for us. Another technique they use was to obtain declares of people that are against the web or really exaggerate about what could happen. This is old people who didn't grew up with the Internet. Interestedly they forgot to ask the opinion of the people that use more the Internet, us. The producers left unasked questions, they didn't ask them for many reasons. Like if they ask young people how the internet really is, the parents will figure out the truth. This is not good for the producers, because their ratings will drop. In conclusion, the PBS produce a film that was partially full of information.

Digital Media in School

How Teachers should act with their students?How they should treat them? This are questions ask very often this days. Some people think that teachers should be strict with their alumni, but others think that they should be more fun than strict. My favorite entertainment teacher is Mr. Whitten. His lessons are very fun, but educative also. He is different from an entertainer because he actually teaches with a sence of fun. This is the model of the perfect teacher, teach with fun but also have a sence of control. What I mean is to joke a little doing the lesson to make it more entertain but is an student starts to be disrespectul or other things like that, the teacher must act like a teacher. If the teacher is only a performer, the whole system will crash. You wont have enough knowledgement for the future, the good thing is that you will havew an amazing time, but is not worth it.
I think that the student should feel guilty in a part and in another not. Its guilty because he doesn't fallow the assignment totally, he goes somewhere else and find a summery of the book. In the other side, is not cheating because he didn't copy, so he shouldn't feel guilty. Its more of a personal decision.

Internat at Home

A computer has tones of characteristics that difference it from television, video games, stereo/radio, magazines and books. Other things you can find in your house for entertainment. When you are using the computer, you have the ability of interacting with who ever has another computer, even if there in the other side of the world, which is incredible ans cool: where as when you use the other ways of amusement, it can only be for your self. You can't interact with no body else. It's for your personal amusement, this can't get boring in curtain time.

• How the computer is used in the home?
In my house, everybody has its personal laptop. So I use my personal computer for a lot of stuff. I use my laptop for my entertainment in social networks, but I also used it to do my homework, which makes it easier and gives me better grades.
• Who uses the computer?
I used my computer (personal laptop), only me.
• Where the computer is placed?
The computer is placed where I wanted to be placed. Its a laptop (:
• How much the computer is used?
I used the computer a lot. Not as much as I just to do. Before I used it from 3:00 pm all the way until 10:00 pm. But know a days I used it lot less.

My Christmas Vacation





This has been the best winter break I had ever had. I had a great times during the vacations.

My vacations started in Guadalajara, with the annual and traditional Christmas Posada of my family. As I have mention before, every year I, my family does a posada in Guadalajara. This time was in the 21st of December. I had so much fun with my family. We did the traditional games we always do, for example the game of exchanging the good and bad gifts. The next day it was time to come to Puerto Vallarta again: however only parents. I stayed an extra day with my cousins Anahi, Brenda and Danni and their mom because next day I had to get in an airplane to go to Hermosillo, Sonora with my Dad and Sister.

I arrived at Sonora at 10:45 am. In the airport was my Father and Sister waiting for me. Later we went to have breakfast to the best Taco Fish in town, actually their the best I have ever tasted. Sadly, later we had to drop my sister with her mother, so my dad and I could take off to Flagstaff, Arizona towards our adventure of Ski. We decided to drive, because Flagstaff doesn't have a big Airport and there's no way of transportation from Phoenix to Flagstaff. Only by taking a Cab, but it will be very expensive. The drive was good, until we arrived in Nogales, we had to wait two and a half hours to cross into the Unites States. After that issue, everything good back to normal until we started going up in the mountain towards our destiny. Suddenly it we hit a spot where it was snowing really hard, and for precuation we had to go slow. The little piece we were missing to arrive was aproximatley half and hour going in speed limit, we did it in 2 hours. We arrieved to our Hotel and we went direct to bed so we could rest and be prepare for the skining. The next day, the first thing we did was had breakfest really fast and then go to the mountain. After we got some equipment we went up. Unfortunatlly we made a huge mistake, we took the lift that led to the Professianal Site, where actually professional skiers practise. Of course I fall down several times, but my father didn't have a problom. After we ask for some infomation , we went to the hard tracks. It was a bite challenging and fun at the same time. An interesting thing that happen to me was that the Flagstaff Ski team was traying in the same track and the coach saw me skining and asked me if I was interested in joining the team. We stayed their for 4 days. I spend Christmas over there, I had my first White Christmas. When the trip was over, we headed back to Hermosillo, a good and fast drive. Their I stayed for 3 more days and then I cam back to Guadalajara. That same day of my arrival to GDL, my uncle, his girlfriend and I came to Puerto Vallarta. I was in a hurry to arrived because Santa came to Vallarta too.






The next Day, I flew to Mazatlan, Sinaloa. This was a courtesy from the new company my Dad is going to work for. Eventhough it was a buissness trip for my parents, I had a lot of fun. We stayed in the Boutique Hotel of the companie where the rooms are amazing. We were treated like Gods. As it was my first time in Mazatlan, I wanted to do everything that was traditional. Like getting on a Pulmonia, a costume made Taxi of Mazatlan. I stayed there for a week, full of luxeries and acomedations. When I came back to my house, my vacations end. I had to do all the homework that was assinged for the breack.
