Another class post...
This one is about pictures. You would think your pictures from Facebook, Myspace, or your blog/website are private to you, right? Wrong. Some companies can actually take pictures from people's accounts and use them without permission. Say, for example, you have a Facebook. Let's say you have three albums full of various pictures of your family, your friends, and where you go on vacation. Now let's pretend you committed a crime (I know none of you would actually do that, but this is hypothetical). Facebook can submit photos from your albums to the police if the police need them. There's always a danger of your images being used, so you shouldn't post anything online that you don't want people to see!

Doodling
A class post once more!
This time, it's about doodling, courtesy of this article.
Although doodling may seem like a distracted person's pastime, it really isn't. Doodling helps the mind focus and retain information better. It allows our mind's eye to "see" what we are thinking about better. For example, if you are trying to design a new product, it helps if you doodle what you are thinking. Surprisingly, doodling also helps us focus. It lets our mind work while keeping the hands busy. Doodling is also an effective way of planning new ideas. So if your teacher catches you doodling in class, you have a reason!

Snow Days
Another class post, my readers.
I don't know about any of you, but my area has had quite a few snow days so far this year. We are now into late June to make up all the time we missed. Personally, I am neutral about snow days. I like them because it gives me extra time to get my homework done, study for a quiz/test, or just relax. I do not like snow days because that means shoveling. Lots and lots of shoveling. (And when the snow piles are taller than you, it's a bit difficult to shovel!) I think that schools have to make them up because it subtracts teaching time for them, and learning time for us. So we make them up in June because it's the end of the year, and we take a bit of summertime for stuff we didn't get to in the wintertime.
