Give an example of a time when you did something you thought was really good only to find out it was not what your teacher wanted? How could this have been avoided?

I wrote a really nice paper on The real meaning of Family, only to find out that my teacher wanted the real meaning of thanksgiving. I should hae just listened more and payed attention.

Should anonymity (not using real name) be protected in electronic interactions and communications? Would this be a good thing for community, responsibility, free expression, political participation, and personal fulfillment? If so, when and why?

 No, anonymity should not be protected. I would like to know who everyone is and are they pervs,  crazy people and possible killers. This would be a excellent thing for the community, responsibility, free expression, political participation and personal fulfillment  that way you know who the hackers and spam people are. This change should be put in effect now, like RIGHT NOW.

What would your friends (parents and teachers) think of you if you said something mean to someone on the Internet? How would that make you feel?

What would your friends (parents and teachers) think of you if you said something mean to someone on the Internet?  How would that make you feel?

 My friends, parents and teachers would think that I really don't have a heart and i'm a very mean person and I really don't care about a lot of stuff. It would make me feel low, like why would I want to say something mean to a person.

How did Steve Jobs (Founder of Apple) effect the way we learn, communicate and live today? How did this effect the world? How did this effect your life?

How did Steve Jobs (Founder of Apple) effect the way we learn, communicate and live today?  How did this effect the world?  How did this effect your life?  

 Steve Jobs effected the way we learn, communicate, and live today by creating a new world of technology; The ipod, The iphone, and The ipad all with different generations. To me personally these were all great ideas and inventions. Now that Steve Jobs is no longer here on earth with us his legacy lives on and on for years even if the technology isn't updated as he would have created it to be when he was alive and well it would just be as perfect as his other inventions. I think people all around the world even the ones he didn't know will truly miss him. Personally I didn't know who Steve Jobs was until last night it really didn't affect me but I will truly miss his technology inventions.

How does flaming show a lack of respect? Do you respect people who flame others? Why?

How does flaming show a lack of respect?  Do you respect people who flame others?  Why?

 Flaming shows a lack of respect by bashing or insulting other internet user. Do I respect people who flame? Why should I respect people who flame if they can't flame in person then flaming on the internet is pointless, very pointless and it shouldn't be done.

Do you think that the passing the HSPA should be a requirement for graduation? Do standardized test measure what you really know? Why?

Do you think that the passing the HSPA should be a requirement for graduation? Do standardized test measure what you really know?  Why?

 Yes I do think passing the HSPA should be a graduation requirement. I think it should be a requirement because this HSPA shows what students really learned from elementary school all the way to their junior year in high school. This test really shows what you really know and have you really been paying attention throughout your years in school.

Do you think the HSPA test should be given on a computer or over the Internet? Would most students do better or worse? Would the results be the same? Would you prefer to take the test the traditional way or on a computer? Why?

Do you think the HSPA test should be given on a computer or over the Internet?  Would most students do better or worse?  Would the results be the same?  Would you prefer to take the test the traditional way or on a computer?  Why?

 No, I do not think the HSPA test should be given on a computer or over the internet. I think the HSPA should not be given on the computer or over the internet because for 1. Everyone in school does not fully understand how to use the internet or computer and 2. Using the computer might and can open up a window of cheating. Most students will most likely past the test if they know how to use the computer to access cheating. The result would be the same as passing, more students will pass because most likely they can and will cheat. Personally I would like to take the HSPA the traditional way because it will give me the same chance as the years before who had to take the test manually.
