Social Media and Hurricane Sandy Good & Bad










   The Good about Social Media was people got to bond more after the effect of the hurricane. Also got to find out news about what's going on with the Hurricane and also if there was school. Then making sure people were safe and which parts of the world lost power.
   The bad about Social Media is people kept panicking on twitter, or facebook. Then also people kept talking about if have school or not, not about if people were safe and everyone was ok. Then also the bad about Social Media it had people want to use it more instead of helping someone else.
   The Good about Hurricane Sandy is it brought the community closer to each other and make everyone bond more so could stay safe.
   The Bad about the Hurricane is it made a lot of people lose power in there houses and also at certain hospitals. It destroyed trees, houses, and people's buildings. It also flooded some cities and destroyed cars and also make school not have school so kids couldn't get more education. It also killed a lot of people and destroyed parts of the world.

Sky Drive








      The Sky Drive Cloud Technology is a service that allows people to upload and download files to a cloud storage and then access them from a Web browser or their local device like a cell phone or iPad. It is part of the Windows Live range of online services and allows people to keep the files private, share them with contacts, or make the files public.
        The Good about Sky Drive is that people can share contact info with other people, such as friends or even people they do not know. A way to find information and also meet new people. The Bad is that it doesn't work some of the time, like you can't share with people, and also it freezes at certain times. The Ugly about the software is that it's slow and like I said before sometimes it doesn't share and also hard to meet new people.

Post 4: EXPLAIN THE GOOD,BAD, AND THE UGLY (GBU) OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND POLITICS..

The good things about social media is that you can meet new people and stay in contact with friends/family. It can help you find out news about things like who died, what player got traded in the NBA or NFL, and it can also help you find out what new in life. It also can help you see what your friends look like from when was babies to the age they are now, because social media's let you post pictures. The bad about is that if you write something or post something your school or job can see it and you can get expelled if to bad or fired from your job if to bad. Also the bad thing about it is that people sometimes post nasty pictures or if someone talks trash about a certain person it can turn into drama and people fighting. The ugly it made someone people die because getting bullied or talking bad about another person. Also social media's ugly part is it can start war, make people judge someone because what they maybe did in the past and it's another way could expose someone. It has ruined a lot of peoples lives.

Post 3: WHATS THE BEST AGE TO DIVE INTO SOCIAL MEDIA?

When you are 13 is the best time to dive in social media, because you are a teen then, you are mature enough to know what to do on it and what not to do. Then also can figure out how to use it. I think that is the age kids start to make more friends and it can help them get in contact easier with their friends. It can help them get in contact if need homework and have no phone to contact a friend but both have a social network they can reach each other that way. That's a good age for them to play games on the social networks, or post fun photos, and start to have a good time. At that age it's like starting a new life because your finally a teenager so being able to use something with social media it will be like starting a new life for them.

Post 2: WILD CARD (ANYTHING YOU WANT)

I'm a student athelete at catholic memorial, I play football, basketball, and I work hard towards my education. But recently I messed up my knee playing football and tore my ACL, so had to get surgery to fix it. So I am out for the season and for basketball season too, now knowing this I have to work harder next year in trying to make it division 1. So I have to decide on going to prep next year or settling for division three and trying to transfer to a division 1 school. This is the struggle all because one play and my life has been very sad lately. I wish I could replay that run and never do what i did again or get subbed out the game.

BYOT





Yes, because if students get to have cell phones it will help students get in contact with family members in case of emergencies. For example say a killer was in the school you would have phone to call the police for help. Then if have iPads it would be easier for a student to buy his or her books on the ipad and have less things to carry. Because some people are weaker than most and have trouble holding a lot of stuff in their bag so it will help them. Then if have iPad in class and say you didn't know something you could go on internet and look it up.
