Lessons to Learn

In the coming-of-age novel Dandelion Wine, Ray Bradbury presents many symbols of Douglas Spaulding’s understanding of life in the summer of 1928’. As Doug sits and ponders the bigger things in life, while he is writing down thoughts into his journal, the fireflies accompanying him go out one by one as these lessons become more accepted by Douglas.

Digital Citizenship

The statistics seemed very reasonable to what I percieved. Especailly, the one about the amount of teens that sleep with their phone by their bed because I do this as well. Although, the statistic about the number of people that will admit to sexting surprised me because I would think, teenagers wouldn’t admit to being involed in sexting. An upside of the internet is that we can do things faster for example emailing is a faster process of maybe communicating with someone on the other side of the world. Although, the down side of it could be that you can’t erase anything once it is put on the internet.

Digital Footprint- All the information that can be found in the digital world about someone.

Cyberbully in my own words is bullying over the internet. There are three different people in the situation, bystander, upstander, and the victiam. The bystander is the person that sees the bullying but doesn’t do anything about it. The upstander is the person that does something about the bullying and the victiam or course is the one being bullied.

First Week Back

Wow! What a week it has been for this brand new freshman! I have had more homework this past week than I have had in all of my school career. Most of my classes don’t seem much harder as far as the work yet, but of course this is only the first week. I have also had many test that I was not expecting for this week. All of my teachers seem to be very laid back, but at the same time firm. Although I miss summer I am kind of glad to be back in the routine of school instead of sitting at home bored all the time. To me the rules here aren’t much different. I don’t notice anymore freedom besides being able to wear flip-flops which I love!
