Journal - What are some qualities of a good presentation? How can you make a boring presentation interesting? Explain.
Some good qualities of a good presentation is speaking loudly and keeping eye contact and talking slowly. If you talk too fast sometimes people will not be able to understand you and they will get annoyed or bored with your presentation. Another good quality for a good presentation is making time for people to ask questions. Engage with your audience and let them be apart of your presentation. Don't talk too fast or too slow and be excited to share your presentation with the class. So if you want to have a good presentation that people won't get bored, talk slowly and loudly, include your audience in the presentation, make time for questions, and have a good attitude and be exciting.

Journal - Tell me if you agree with this statement and then explain why or why not. "Images on the internet are 'free game' - if someone posted I should be able to use it."
I agree and disagree. Some pictures that are on real business sites, you probably can't use. Pictures that have a copyright sign on the bottom right hand side are illegal to use. I think if you take a picture like that from an important and popular website, you may not use. But any pictures that are on google, you can use. I think that if you get permission to take someone's photos on Facebook then it is ok but if you just take them without asking they might get mad.

Journal - What is the importance of online safety and protecting your information? What do you do to protect yourself online? Share an experience you or someone you know has had with online safety.
Online safety is important for people's well being and it protects people's personal information. Without internet safety, I think it would be very dangerous. Even with the safety, people can make fake profiles to talk to the person they want to and eventually find out where they live, where they go to school, and other personal information that shouldn't be given out to strangers. Personally, what I do to protect myself online is that I don't friend request people I don't know and I don't accept friend requests from people I don't know. Even if we have mutual friends, if I don't personally know the person, then it could still be a fake profile. I don't share my address and/or cell phone number on the social networking site and I also don't give out my number. A long time ago my sister Katie had an AIM. Some random person start chatting with her on there, not knowing it was a stranger, she kept talking with him. The person started asking for personal information and wanting to know who she was and where she was. My parents ended up calling the police because of some of the inappropriate things the person was saying and they were scared that Katie's safety was in jeopardy. From then on my siblings and I stopped using AIM.

Journal - After watching the short clip of Ashton Kutcher's acceptance speech what did you take away from his advice? What does this quote mean to you -"Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you, and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use."
I think that a lot of people didn't think of life in that way. I think it might have surprised a lot of people from the things he said and I think a lot of people agree with him. After watching and listening to what he said, I also agree. I never thought of life in that way and I think that you can change and influence what other people have started. Also, people can build and influence off of the things that you have built.
