PART 3: Social Networking -- Keeping in Touch

Many people fight through the internet because they are afraid from that person. They use internet to not deal with them face to face, they can say to you many bad things but you can't do anything to them, so they are safe. Online fighting doesn't help anybody, it only makes you feel anger and hate for that person, what is the good thing for that?. You can say bad things to somebody and be safe in your comfortable house, but someday you will face him, and that would not be good.

PART 5: Parenting, Privacy and Control

Our parents are afraid from the "Predators", they are kidnappers or some pervert. They can ask you your personal information or get it from Facebook or MySpace. Our parents only want to protect us but there are not too many "Predators" as the video says. Obviously we are not going to tell a strange where do we live or some stuff like that , but we must be conscious that there are many dangers in internet. Some web sites are very dangerous because everyone can see your personal information, photos, friends, family members, etc. So I think somebody must make them more secure for teenagers and adults.

PART 2: Digital Media in Schools

Cheating is something every student do, cheating is a way to get a good grade from an easy way. You can cheat in many ways like copy the answers from a paper or a friend's notebook, take summaries or read summaries on web sites. Cheating is very common but it is bad to do it, because you must be responsible to do your assignments and homework so if you only copy it, you would not learn anything and while you are copying to get a good grade another student is putting a lot of effort to get a 10. Like when a teacher assign us to make an essay from something we are learning, somebody can start is from the first day by his own, while other student is being lazy all day, and by the end he only search on a web site and find all the essay. Both can get a 10 but it would be better if you put effort and do it by your own.

Growing Up Online Part 2

I think that some of my teachers are entertainers because they have to distract us from doing nothing and help us to learn, my teachers never stop talking and asking question, so we have to always pay attention in class, but some only assign us work, so that's boring and we started to distract in other things. In my opinion this is really wrong because their job is to teach us things and not be an entertainer and our responsibility is to pay attention to our teachers and do all our assignments during class, we come to school to learn and not to play.
If some kid only copy summaries from web sites and giving them to his teacher, he should feel very guilty because he is being a cheater, very unfair because while he is only copying; a true student is putting a lot of effort to his work to obtain a 10. Copying is a easy 10 but if you do it by your own maybe it would be a 10 or not but the good thing is that you will remember that you tried to get it.

Growing Up Online Part 1

The computer is very different than the radio, books, or TV because you can chat and socialize with many different people and can help you in works; but it not so different comparing it with video games because you can chat and socialize with friends too like with the xbox 360 you can have facebook and twitter.Almost the computer in my home is used to download music and get information for homework. Mostly my mom is the only person who use my computer because she is downloading a lot of different songs. The computer in my home is placed in my room its some kind of disturbing because if somebody wants to use it, he or she has to be in my room. My computer is used everyday almost all day, my mom is the only one who use it because of her i pod

Christmas Vacation

During this Christmas I did a lot of things, like hang out with my friends, my family and play xbox. I remember one day that I went to Galerias with two friends, at the end the security guards take us out because one friend was doing ad things, then we went to the oxxo and tried to go in Galerias again but the guards take us out again. I went too to the canopy with many friends, it was amazing because we could see all the mountains during the traveling of all the ropes, we also went into the river it was very very cold. Then we went to Galerias and watch the movie of Avatar, it is a good movie but it has too many fiction. I also spent many time of my vacations playing xbox because I didnt have anything else to do.....boring.

In the Christmas Day my uncle invited my family and me to their house to eat and have a good Christmas Eve. In the house was my four uncles, two aunts and my cousins. We talk about many different things about our life. We ate turkey and pork, I ate a lot because it was delicious at the end all were very satisfied about the dinner and the wonderful night. At home I couldn't sleep I don't know why maybe for the anxious to open the gifts of something like that, finally I fall asleep watching The Grinch about 6 a.m. The next day it was time to open the presents!!!! I was very excited and my sister and brother too. Finally, we opened the presents my parents gave me clothe, a wallet and sunglasses. I'm very happy about what they gave to me because I didn't wish any present for this Christmas. My little brother obtain almost the same than me except for a video game, he seems very happy. My older sister received a kit of perfumes of Dolce&Gabanna. My mom received a bag of Louis Vuitton, and my dad a pair of crocks and a toy!!
At New Years I went to the house of my grandmother from part of my mom, it was all nice and the food was delicious, but the only problem is that almost all my cousins are little kids except one that has the same age than me. We went to the terrace and watch all the fireworks, we could see all the fireworks from all the coast. At the end I get bored and walked home with my brother to our house. When we reached our home it was like 2 a.m. We doesn't know what to do so finally we played xbox until 12 p.m.
