The World is Flat 3.0

We are currently working on a project in school called the Flat Classroom Project.  I have learned a lot of things so far in this project.  I was a little worried that I was not going to be really bored with this project, but once I started it, it is not so bad.  We learned all about different ways of communication.  And also how we are more alike then we are different.  One thing I am excited about is being able to communicate with other people in different countries and being able to collaborate with them.  This is a good way of learning other people's culture and what it is like in their country.

Most things in the video I agreed with for the most part.  At some points I got lost because the man was talking so fast and he had so much information to say.  But the things I did catch, was very interesting and I totally agree with.  One thing in particular that I agreed with is when the man said that we are going to burn up our plant.  I agree with that because I think we all need to start working togather and not making to much pollution.  We either change or die.  If we don't do something the energy impacts are going to swamp us.  The man left us in the middle of a sentence saying "If you don't change the leaders, we are...".

Why does everyone hate America?  Maybe it's because we have freedom, or because we think we can do anything.  Many other countries don't have as much freedom, and can't do everything they want.  The global economic playing field is being flattened and us Americans are not ready.  I was a little surprised that everyone is more alike then different.  It all makes scence once I think about it.  The video also said that the 21st century will go to whoever will adress the energy issues.

Good music video

I choose this music video because it is a good song.  Taylor Swift is very inspirational to a lot of young people.

OneNote

OneNote 2010 is a Microsoft program on the computer that allows people to take oragnized notes.  You can do much more than just take notes on OneNote though, you can put pictures, write a to-do list, put videos, and links to websites on OneNote also.  If you are a student wanting to take notes in class, or a adult wanting to make a grocery list, OneNote is a good program to use.

OneNote compared to Microsoft word, is like day compared to night.  Microsoft word limits you to writing words and putting those words in different fonts.  That is not very exciting.  But, OneNote allows you to write the text anywhere you want on the page, write in different colors, take organized notes, highlight important notes, put videos and pictures on the page, and much much more!

OneNote would benefit professionals and students everywhere.  If you are in a meeting and dont want to write down all the things that your boss is saying, just type and take notes on OneNote.  Or if you are sitting in school not wanting to take notes over what your teacher is saying, just pull out your computer and take notes on OneNote.  It is better to use OneNote so you don't have to use up a lot of paper.  I would highly recommend using this awesome feature on the computer.

Favorite Websites

A website I like to use is YouTube.  This is a good website to watch music videos on.  It is a good place to go if you want to just listen to music or have a good laugh.  There are millions of videos to look from.  People can also upload videos of them or their friends.
Another one of my favorite wesites is the West Des Moines Schools website.  This way, I can keep track of all my good grades and make sure I am being a good student.  I can look at my lunch account money to see if I have enough too! 
Another good website to go to is dearblankpleaseblank.com.  This is a website to go to if you want to laugh!  You can even upload one to.  It is a very exciting website.
