family tradition

me and my family dont have a family tradition because i always switch with my mom and dad every year. if i am with my mom, her family and i go to a country club, but if im with my dad, we go to my nonnas for dinner. for other traditions, me and my family go down to wildwood, New jersey and go to the hotel at the beach. Another thing that my family always does, is go to Gurneys, in Montaulk. for christmas, i go to my nonnas for xmas eve, then i open presents at my house on xmas morning, then i go to my grandmas and aunts to see the rest of my family.

Facebook/MySpace

Facebook and Myspace are two similar social networking system websites that help people connect to each other. Myspace was the first social networking system, but its main purpose was different, then it was now. Myspace was originally meant for music, buissness, and blogs. Now Myspace is used for people to connect to each other, mostly in the range of teenagers, use this more than adults. Facebook was another social networking website, that took over myspace's fans. Facebook, was originally and still is made for the concept that friends, and people can connect to each other, socialize, and do activities together. In my opinion, Facebook is something that i like because there are polls for friends to take, quizes to do, and chat with friends. Even though these social networking websites are great for connecting with friends and meet new people, the problem is that strangers can see pictures of you without you even knowing. If there are pictures that are innapropriate, and you are looking for a job, you might not be hired because of what pictures you publish. Now there are privacy's and such to make sure that wierdos dont see your pictures and profile.

Grades

I knowi got an A+ because Mr. Hennings showed me my grade.

Math: B-
Global: B+

I like the new grading system because, if your on the edge of a grade, it is rounded up and that will help you.

Google Doc's

Google doc's is a new way to communicate with people. Google Doc's has to refer to documents, presentations, and graphs. an example of how to use google docs is lets say you have an essay, now you want your friends to look at it because they have other documents for it, they can edit, retype, and print it. it is a way to have people look at documents from other computers without an email, or flashdrive. This is what Google doc's does, if you are writing an essay, and you want your friend to look at it but not others. you can send a link to the specific person, and they can look at it, and edit it, if they want to. basically, Google doc's is a web-based microsoft word, powerpoint, etc. Google will be able to work with most applications that have to do with word, presentations, etc. there are more ways of checking google docs without a computer, an Iphone, a Blackberry, or PDA. all of these devices can help you check to see what people have edited on your sheet, or you can edit it also. Google docs is a great web-based word processor, spreedsheet and otherwise, but remember that although it may be beneficial, it can be abused so you must know when to use it and when to and not to.

Favorite Vacation

My Favorite vacation was when i went on an RV trip from New York, to Florida. My first stop was in New Jersey Shore, where i surfed with the family. We then got to a place on the border of south carolina called South Of The Border. They sold fireworks, and such. we finally got to florida and went to Disney world, and then after 2 days, we went to miami beach and surfed for a say. we then drove home, and it was my best vacation so far.

Twitter

Twitter was created in 2006, and is a social networking system, that lets people know what they’re doing. Twitter helps people connect so that people are up to date with the world. Twitter is free, which means that it is open to all people. People use Twitter for different reasons: Business, news, social, reference, and Recreational. People can get text messages or Short Message Services (SMS) from their phone, Email, or computer. The way people use Twitter for Business is if a company is showing how much a company made, then maybe someone in the stock market might want to invest, or cash in their stocks. for news you could find out about Sports, celebrity news, World news, and etc. A way that Twitter is a social tool, is how people connect to one another by their thoughts, and ideas. People also connect if they are on a same topic like a sports game that happened the night before, and people will comment and share their ideas of the game. People could also use Twitter for reference. If you want to buy a product, but not sure if it is good or not, then see what others think of that product. Recreational use could be used as a way for people to start petitions, surveys, and ideas. In my opinion, Twitter could be used for reference, and see what people are doing, and discussing.
