Journal - What are some qualities of a good presentation? How can you make a boring presentation interesting? Explain.
I think its all in the way you're presenting. if you're just standing in front of a class and talking people will get bored but if you're up and interacting with the people you're presenting to and you have a really fun presentation and sound enthusiastic people will wake up and listen rather than just having a poster board and explaining to people what they see

Journal - Tell me if you agree with this statement and then explain why or why not. "Images on the internet are 'free game' - if someone posted I should be able to use it.
It depends. if i posted it to my Facebook or twitter etc. no one has the right to use it because that's my personal profile. But if it is on some random website where you don't even have a profile you just submit pictures of yourself then I'm not saying that people should be able to use it but it is most likely someone will and you wont really be able to do anything about it but overall your pictures shouldn't be used by anyone if you didn't say they can.

Journal - What is the importance of online safety and protecting your information? What do you do to protect yourself online? Share an experience you or someone you know has had with online safety.
Online safety is very important. You cant just give out your address or anything because everyone can see it and you can put yourself and your family in serious danger. On social networking sites i put my profile on private, i don't let random people see my pictures, i never use that thing that lets people know where i am, like the location services, i don't post things letting people know i'm out of the house and if someone requests to follow me i don't let them unless i know who they are. I don't have any personal experiences or any of my friends but I've heard a lot of stories about online safety and how people can find you so you have to be very careful.

Journal - Tell me what you know about Web 2.0. List example Web 2.0 sites. Are you on any sites that let you “post” information? What are those sites? How often do you use them? What do you post on them?
I know that everyone is addicted to them including myself and even younger children are getting into Web 2.0. but they're good in a way because they let you connect with everyone but they can also be really dangerous. I'm only on one site that lets me post information and that is tumblr.com but there are the really popular ones like, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pintrist, Youtube, Instagram,and We Heart It. I use tumblr a lot because its really entertaining but i don't post anything on it i just read and see what other people are posting.

Journal - After watching the short clip of Ashton Kutcher's acceptance speech what did you take away from his advice? What does this quote mean to you -"Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you, and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use."
After watching this i kind of hit me that in this day and age everyone wants to be the same and there's no originality. And how he said that people are trying to sell us an image that's very true, everyone has to look a certain way to make it in life and that statement has gotten to everyone. So i thought he was telling us to not listen to what society wants us to be.
The way i understand this quote is like the people who made life were no better than us, they were on the exact same level so why should we be living the way they want you to live. its your life and you do with it what you want. If they're no smarter than me then i have the power to create my own way of life and not theirs.
