Tell me about the global issue you selected yesterday. Briefly restate your paragraph from yesterday.

I chose the topic of deforestation because it isn’t a widely known issue when it really should be. I know it affects the diversity of animals and plants that thrive in those habitats. It also contributes to global warming and wildfires. I hope to learn the specific effects of deforestation on animal and plant loss, global warming, and people’s health.

If you could pick one issue in the world to fix or change what would it be and why?

I would fix deforestation or animal abuse. Deforestation because there are tons of animals not yet discovered that have gone extinct due to loss of habitat. Animal abuse because the animals didn't exactly do anything wrong to deserve it.

What is a Public Service Announcement? If you don't know what it is, Google it. In your own words, now tell me what it is? What are they used for? Can you recall an example of a PSA you've seen before?

A public service announcement is a thing to make people aware of something. I think back in middle school we had people come in and show us drug or alcohol abuse presentations.

Tell me about your three day weekend. How was it? What did you do? Elaborate!

It was okay, busier than usual, but still fun. I went out shopping with my brothers for my parents' anniversary present, played league of legends with some friends, walked my dogs with my dad and my brother Thomas, saw The Nut Job with some friends, and watched Oz with Thomas.

What have you learned about Google Drive and Google Presentation so far? What do you like about it? What problems have you run in to? Is it better than PowerPoint? Explain.

It's pretty much powerpoint but slightly less advanced and easier to access. I like the accessibility and how easy it is to use once you've figured it out. Other than the pictures, it's good. I prefer it over powerpoint simply because it has the necessities to make a presentation and you don't have to install anything. I had trouble with the pictures being moved to the slides, but that was just about the only issue I encountered.

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 think it's fine if it's for a profile picture on skype and you don't put some credit because it might be kind of silly to cite that. But if it's for a project or you're putting the picture on a blog thing without credit of some sort (a link at least), then it would be wrong.

What do you want to learn in the class the semester? What information do you want to walk away with that you didn't know before? Elaborate!

I want to learn what all the stuff in an HTML means and how I can change it. I want to leave with the ability to edit those and not mess everything up.
