Edublogs Challenge Week #7 (Activity 5)

 I don’t really think my digital footprint is THAT bad. Of course, there are definitely things that I have done on the internet that I regret, like posting mean comments to people or mean comment replies to someone. Basically everything I do now on the internet is fine. Sometimes I do good things, like leave positive comments on peoples work or videos. I do that mostly with my friends that make stuff like youtube videos to make them feel good/motivated, I feel good after I do that. If I were forced to choose positive over negative over one another, I’d choose positive. Even though as I explained earlier I have done some bad things on the internet, my digital footprint is made up of mostly things that are positive. POSITIVE. Because of this, I think I would be comfortable with my great grand kids looking through it.

Edublogs Challenge #4  

My school (PDS) helped hundreds of hungry people in the Hudson Vally by doing something called CanStruction®. CanStruction® Is a fundraiser that feeds the hungry like this: Any school, or organization can enter the contest if they want. The contest is a competition about who can make the best structure out of cans. PDS’s structure last year was a snowman. When finished, all structures will be on display somewhere (Galleria

mall last year) and people can vote on which structure is the best. How they vote: With CanStruction®, you have to vote with cans. Each structure has a box beside it that is used for putting cans (votes) in. Whichever structure has the most cans wins a trophy. Then all of the cans from the structures and the cans that were used for voting are donated to the hungry. The builders of the structures always have lots of fun doing it plus  they’re feeding the hungry. I think PDS made a smart choice in choosing to do CanStruction®!

Edublogs Challenge #3

In the morning, I  get up at 7:00 to go to school. I go downstairs and eat breakfast. I usually have bacon or serial and I then go back upstairs and get dressed. After that, I brush my teeth, and pack my bag. After that, I usually have free time for about 20-30 minutes. During this time, I usually go up to my room and browse the internet play videos games on my TV. I also have to walk the dog in the morning.

When it’s time to go, I get my bag and get into the car to go to school. Getting to school only takes about 5-10 minutes on a normal day. Then of course I get to school.

School starts at 8:15 — at this time I have advisory. In advisory, we usually talk about how the day (or week) is going to be like or just standard school talk. Another thing that the middle school does in the morning (8:15) is middle school meeting. In middle school meeting, we just talk about what the next couple of days will be like for the whole middle school. Usually a school day takes about 7 hours including breaks. There are 45-90 minute academic and arts classes (Math, Science, Spanish, Humanities, etc.), and 25-40 minutes of break/lunch times.

At the 25 minute break, I (and most students) just go to the cafeteria to get some snacks (Cinnamon buns, Muffins, Bagels, etc.) and hangout. After break, I usually have a 90 minute academic class. Next is lunch (40 minutes). At lunch the middle just eat lunch and go outside or stay inside (optional). For lunch I usually have steak or whatever the cafeteria has to offer. Then, it’s common time or a 45 minute academic class.  

Common time is basically a block where we can stay in the middle school learning commons and silently read or do homework. I like this period!!!

After that, I pack my bag and head to my moms office to drop my stuff off, school is over. After school I have to stay for an extra 1-2 hours because my mom works at the school. During that time I usually go to the after school and play with other kids that are in after, or just stay in my moms office and do homework or play games.

 After that, I go home, do homework and then I just have free time for the rest of the night)(I usually go to sleep).
