career results

I got Education and training for my cluster. Education and training is a job where you guide and train people, like a teacher or a coach. the jobs that fall under this career are a fitness trainer, vocational advisers, educational administrators, teacher, teachers aid, and public health coordinators. you need to be able to solve problems and take charge of situations. I really don't think this is the best thing for me, I think that my second choice is which is a person that is a nurse or works in hospital, or being a vet.

Google docs wrap up

Wrap up about Google docs

i liked Google docs because it allowed you to be able to edit a paper or a document with your friend editing it at the same time. Also i liked how it was super organized and easy to find things. however i didn't like how Google docs could be very complicated at times, because of words and button's i wasn't familiar with. Another thing is that Google docs even had a chat in every single document so that you wouldn't have to write on your paper to talk to your partner. I think that they could improve the docs by just making it a little bit more simple. I like Google docs a lot because of the editing with other people. I thought that my project turned out pretty dang good. 

Technology

Google is using GIF now in images which is basically just short animated videos. Too find GIF pictures go in the drop down arrow in the search bar and click "Any type." Now the GIF app is free in the iTunes store. GIF's are mainly just funny short films of animated pictures.

Exam review

Podcast compared to report

I like doing a podcast over a report because I think that it is faster and easier to do. I could get it done faster and I got it more. the only part i had a problem with was my friends trying to make me laugh, and mess me up. It would of made the project more interesting or fun if we had two people speek into the mic at the same time, or if we could sort of act like kids like we always do. haha

The Life of Duke Ellington

            Edward Ellington was born on April 29, 1899, in Washington, D.C. His mother’s name was daisy, and his father’s James. His parents were amateur pianist, so that’s what Ellington wanted to be when he grew up. He started to study the piano at age seven. He earned the nickname “Duke” because he was always well dressed and he was a gentleman to the ladies.

            During school he took art and was the best in the class at it. At the age fifteen he was awarded the art scholarship to Pratt Institute in Brooklyn New York. He turned the offer down to go to the art institute and followed his dream at becoming a famous pianist, for jazz. When the “Duke” was seventeen he began playing jazz music professionally during the 1920s he began playing his jazz music in nightclubs. The “Duke” married at age 19 to Edna Thompson, who had been his girlfriend since high school. In 1923 Ellington formed his own band called the Duke Ellington Orchestra. Also in 1929 the band made over 200 recordings and featured in a Hollywood film called, Black and Tan. Ellington’s band got big enough to go to big American and European Tours. That is why Ellington really became famous; he made hit songs and traveled around the world to play. Some of his hit songs were Concerto for Cootie, Cotton Tail, Ko-Ko, It Don't Mean a Thing if It Ain't Got That Swing, Sophisticated Lady, Prelude to a Kiss, Solitude, and Satin Doll. The main reason that he became a famous artist was because he showed drama while he played. Ellington made over 1000 compositions of music which stretched into various other genres, including blues, gospel, film scores, popular, and classical. Duke only had 1 child, a boy whose name was Mercer. In 1973 Ellington made an autobiography called music is my mistress. Duke earned 12 Grammy awards from 1959 to 2000, 9 while he was alive. On May 24, 1974, at the age of 75 he died of lung cancer and pneumonia. His last words were, "Music is how I live, why I live and how I will be remembered." His reputation increased after his death and the Pulitzer Prize Board bestowed on him a special posthumous honor in 1999. Duke led his band from 1923 until his death in 1974. His son Mercer Ellington, who had already been handling all administrative aspects of his father's business for several decades, led the band until his own death in 1996. This band is one of the few jazz bands that still exist.

             Duke Ellington once said “you got to find a way to say it, without saying it” to me that meant you have to prove it, or put your money where your mouth is. In the end Duke Ellington was a huge figure in jazz that followed is dream and made it big. Music was Ellington’s passion, his love, his life. He made 100s of records, he was a jazz legend!

I think that you need a copyright law so that you can give all the credit to the owner of the copyright and so that you don't get sued for using copyrighted material.Also i think that fair use is needed for school purposes. 

I think that flicker is useful because you can just take whet you want whenever. also its super easy to use. you can't get into trouble for taking pictures off of it because it is in the public domain.

Deputy Kupp-my dude

When Deputy Krupp came in

When deputy Krupp came in i learned that it is illegal to sext until you are 18. another thing is that 75% of children get approached sexually online but don't tell their parents. Also i learned a lot about how to stop a creep from talking to you. you should never respond to a person you don't know. Next never try and meet a person you don't know very well.

What Christmas Means to Me

To me Christmas is the birth of Christ. On Christmas i like to hangout with my family and go to church and everything. usually during Christmas I drink a ton of hot chocolate. Me and my older brother go outside and tackle each other in the snow.Also he ties a rope to his truck and a sled and pulls me really fast through the yard.

Another thing is that me and my brother like to go into the woods behind my house and hunt squirrels. We climb trees a lot too. After that we usually let my dog out and try and hit him with snowballs. Then we open up presents. That is what Christmas means to me
