Blog Post 5 - The Way I Want To Learn

          Obviously in this picture you see an engaged classroom listening to a teacher's lecture. But is there a better way he could teach his students? Could he possibly engage them more to where each could learn to his/her full potential?

         Recently a student named Jeff Bliss made a rant against his lazy high school teacher.I truly can admit that i'm on his side. From his super-intend-ant's perspective he says that he understands where jeff is coming from but believes jeff could've done it in a better manner. This is true but it shows how far a student's voice can go.

         News reporters everywhere were trying to interview jeff on this, what i'd call, spectacular event. But the first news cast to interview was news 8. Their brief interview revealed that jeff wasn't ashamed. i'm truly glad he feels this way because i wouldn't if i'd said it. 

          But the topic "THE WAY I WANT TO LEARN" still comes to mind. I want to be able to moniter my own due homework. Unlike the current system where "Teachers" assign the work, it seems to much of a dictatorship. For example my computer teacher has a wonderful system to where we can moniter our own work and are e-mailed the assignments.

It's truly wonderful the possibilities we have with technology we just need to                        

                                   EMBRACE THEM

                                

STAAR Test

                                    STAAR Test

Before the staar test i didn't know what to expect. I started with the revise and edit which consisted of the easiest of questions. After I finished I noticed there were two and a half hours left. Then the writing portion. I started off hesitantly, but eventually I knocked it out of the park. So for me you can expect me to answer the question " How was the experience" with " It was a gentle breeze to me.

My wiki

                                              My Wiki

If I could describe Making my wiki can be described in one word crazy. We all waited to the last minute to finish it and when we turned it in it wasn't even finished. So many things to do but all we had to was play around It looked horrible but at least now i know what to do next time. 

Never Again

                                      Spring Break

Doesn't it just sound wonderful. Birds chirping sleeping in the early afternoon sun! Well for              me not exactly. Three words Palo Duro Canyon. Hiking, camping, you name it we did it. All we ate was astronaut foodthat was horrible. But after that i had one of my friends over and a party at another friends house

Oooooo but imagine if money didn't matter. i would've been partyin anywhere in the world San Francisco, France, Italy or even space camping all over the world i'd be an eagle in boy scouts by now. But then it would all been ruined by the end of spring break. Oh well... maybe someday. 
                                               

UNPLUGGED?!?

                                  That Would Be Crazy.

No technology?!? Music is my life, and where would that come from if there was no phones to hear 

     it from. No cars, radio, no use for headphones, we would be running everywhere, and who 

                wants that? But it might cut down on obesity, is one of the good sides of being

                           unplugged. So be cool and keep it real this is caleb out!

                                            PHONES! Flying everywhere, Ipods, Iphones
                                                   Kids just live for it... but think what if it
