Differences
The difference between the blogs and the essay email etiquette was totally big, because the blog’s are shorter, with different vocabulary in the essay be could not use the apostrophe, we have to use proper vocabulary, refer to somebody directly or indirectly, but refer to somebody else in contrast with the blogs we just write an opinion of what we think or feel about something, foe the essay we have to write once and once against making sure that the spelling and grammar are ok. In contrast with the blogs we did use the spelling and grammar thing, but we don’t write this a lot of times just once. With the essay we were require to go to the writing center for feedback, have a session with them and let them helped us to make some corrections to our paper, that was really awesome the really help us. In contrast with the blogs we don’t have to look for feedback we just write and that’s it, not problems with it. In contrast with the blogs with the essay we use more than one class to be prepared, the essay was double space, times new roman, font 12, also the essay was printed, in contrast to the blogs we use single space, we just published this on the internet, and the teacher read this in other words the essay etiquette was more formal then the blogs, this was our first personal challenge was little harder than blogs, because were longer, more formal, and more descriptor than the blogs. The blogs don’t receive revision of our instructor, it don’t need anything like that in contrast with the essay we have to use unique question that describe our paper, was a lot more complicated the essay, because were a lot of details we have to used introduction, summary, and conclusion, add a lot of more details etc.
Workshop
The different experiences that we have in this classroom is special because every single time we learned something new, that teacher now how to plan her class so this is not bored, today is was experience was different because we share with our classmates the different essay that we have every single one of us read our paper, and asked a question about our paper like am I doing this right, how to make it longer, did I did this ok? Between another, I really like this activity because that helped us to make some corrections to our paper the teacher also gave us some clues of how we can write the essay, most of this class was discussion between everybody, because like our group the others groups have to be doing the same. That was funny how everybody was afraid to read allow, because I thought I was the only one in the class that was I little bit shy, but not because everybody was like now you, not you and gone on and on. My paper was longer than everybody else’s was, they told me that I need to make it smaller, but I asked the teacher and she told it was right if I want to write more then 3 paragraphs, and I laugh because I had that concern after that I heard all the papers gave them an opinion of what I think, and some recommendations for them like add more details, be more specific, etc. they also gave recommendations, like don’t use emotional things because I have a phrase like this, “I am so sad.” so my classmates told delete that and add real reason of why she have to give you better grade on your essay. That was also I really like the format that the teacher use with us in this classroom.

Internt in the singles life
The articles that the group 2 discussed today in my own opinion is very controversial, because I do not agree with the dating in the internet, most of the time that you meet somebody in the internet you have any clue about him or she. Sometimes this could result dangerous for one of the individuals, like people lying about their age, body, characteristics, and background. I have seen many cases in the TV. Where some boys and girls whose have been raped for an adult, that they have met on the internet, the show in their profile a good man, handsome, strong, cute, funny, etc, in the case of the boys they seems a pretty girl, young, good figure, athletic, funny etc, and like the teacher said they may not even exist in this world, so in my own opinion is dangerous to be trying this dates. I respect the opinion of the other that may think distinct than I do, but everyone is a head in this world and I cannot change the way of think on somebody else. In the other article where a president were against the gays I am really disagree, with him because everybody has the right of liberty, to give their opinion, they may have different way of think them we do, but they are humans we cannot change that, the decide they own way of think, dress, and act. Those are not defects or thing like that is a reality that we have to accept, because they are not going to change their lives just because some of the opinions about them. We have to encourage them because sometimes for our point of view, them end up in the morgue or something like that, like I said I do not agree with idea of dating someone through the computer, because I have considered dangers, but those articles just show us how the internet has been involved in our lives at the point that we need them for establisher our relationships.

First essay.
Today the experience in the English class was special because the teacher showed and explained to us how to build an essay the different parts of it, the teacher gave us an examples on how to write in different ways, I really like the attitude of the teacher because she really try to encourage us in a very good way she make us laugh, and also made the class fanny, I really like her like a teacher, I thought that the part of the essay is going to be more difficult, but it is not, it is almost the same as some of the essays in high school, but here is the problem I always have a lot of problems with the spelling and grammar so when a write a paper is hard to be using dictionary, and everything like that. And another problem that I have is that I could not understand the part of the learning center because I don’t really understood why we have to go there, I have that concern with the thing of appointment, I am really confuse about it, but I think I going to make a very good job I have been always very good student, the way that the Ms. Crow ford gave us the class is fantastic, in that way I have not problems, the essay is a writing in which we have to demonstrated what we know and what we does not know, I not a good writer so is hard to be writing a blog every single day, my mind is in black, I have already an idea of my paper, the introduction would drive me to the point that will be discussed in the body of the writing, the team of the first essay is very helpful, because we already wrote a blog with the same title. So we already have an idea of what are we writing.

Articles
The articles that we discuss today were kind of the same because most of them talk about how people try to involved technology to the daily life, like the one that says “should internet be wired in the school” That article was mostly about how even the president thought that child have to grow up with the hand on the mouse, that’s descanting, this also talks about how they started given away many like loans, tax free, scholarships, and try that everybody have the same opportunities, in case of the technological, like the access to the internet, computers, ipots, and all of kind of items. They thought that not rich person has the right to the internet, so try to be equal given them the almost the same opportunities, given money to the minority. The other article that grabs my attention was the one that was called “how to bring school out of the 20 century” that mostly is about how people try to involve technology in their life thinking that handwriting is not longer use din the classroom most the classmates would be using technology in their homework, like instead of handwriting they will use typing, in the computer and also printing paper instead of write it. There were some good ideas in their work, but in my own opinion they are making people lazy because the internet is doing the work. In other words a support that the advance of the technology is helping us in a good way in our life, but I am agree with the attitude of some of the professors been scared with the idea of those people who try to involved technology in the daily life of the students, that could eat their mind, transforming them in a kind of robot, that would be horrible, those articles says that technology could increase their skills and abilities, make people most efficient and with more desire to work, let see what happened in the future, when everything would be technological and people minds are in black, and only using technology they can survive.

Discussion
How Life has been changed.
Our life has been changed since the Greek Civilization, the form of write in talk has been transformed in a different way, the form of write in talk now has more vocabulary, different words has been introduced in our vocabulary, with different meanings, our ancestors have used this words in a different way, maybe is because now we have more technology than we have before is hard to understand the different meanings of our vocabulary now because has a lot of significant. The articles that we have been reading and discussing in the English class are very important because the author of the articles try to get in our life in form that the reader understand what is happening now in our lives, try really try to help us in the school informing us about how to be successful in our future, every single thing that they inform in the web is a form of help for us. Like the article that says Tech help students with good study habits, teacher are just given us tips to increment our grades show us our success with signals, like the colors red, green, yellow, I really like those articles the discussion in class was awesome, because everybody have a different opinion of what this says, most of them gave the opinion about the iphone, ipod, computers in schools and the different functions of this ones, but the idea here is to keep the students in class for the rest on this scholar cycle , like one of the functions that talks about the Panic Bottom, that gives the police the location of the students (GPS). One of the disadvantages is that if you choose the iphone over the ipod, you have to pay the bills to AT&T, many of the students in my English class gave the opinion about it and most of them decide that if they have to choose for one of those articles they would like to have the computer. In mi own opinion I really like to have the computer because like one of my classmates said that she is not very technological, the sane happen to me I don’t really like to be hours and hours sitting in front of the computer, so I am not a internet person.

Today's experiences
My experience in my English class was very special because we already have the books for this class, the Ms is now able to give us the syllabus for the semester, she explained it to us, on the screen the only thing that I don’t really like about it that everything is on the computer and hate to be only, I would really like to her warns us on what is next because it will be hard for me to be in main that I have to be on the computer every single day, anyways the class was very interested, she helps us with the homework, and gave us some time to finish with the last blog that she assigned to the class, she also explained how the class with be graded depend on our work, the class of today was easy because we don’t have to do any work just press attention to her and fallow along to her instructions, some of the points that I did not understood that the part of the articles because I did know if have to read one of the articles that she posted or another different, I got confuse. But I know that this class would help me a lot, I really like my English class because the teacher is a very nice person, that is going to help us if we have any problem for her class, the class of today was more descriptive then a really class, because was a thing that we have to have for pass the class, the teacher explained the main points of this class, the responsibilities of every single one on the class she was very clear about how she will be graded our work and how many points we will accumulate for every single assignment in the semester, at the same she told us about the extra credit for the groups, the maximum points that we can get are 1046, so I really liked her class because she is kind I really like to be in her class.

My unsatisfied grade.
Hi Karla, yes what? She gave a 60 on mine essay I am really upset because I did the best on that essay and now she came to my with a 60 is not fair for me because she read my introduction and told me that it was a good way to start, I really want to have a conversation about it with her, when she check my essay I though she was helping me on my final grade. Even in the last day she talk to my about my essay and help me making some corrections to it, I don’t really understood her reason on giving me a F and my final draft I feel so sad about it because the essay was the grade on my record, and with a 60 I think that my grades keep going down, I would like that she would gave me another opportunity to make it again, that would help me to understand my errors, and disabilities, you know that the writing is not my favorite topic, I hate to write because I always have the same problem, my main is just in blank when I have to write, also I know that the teacher has her favorite students. She is so roof with the other part of the classmates, I don’t like her I don’t really know why because I have been always responsible in her class I do my homework, I participate in her activities, but this still, she has never give 100 on my work even when I know that I have the right answer, I going to talk to her and ask her about it, I just want to know what is the problem? You know what is wrong with mine paper don’t you think that’s a good idea for me to find the really problem with my writing because like I told you on the beginning of this conversation she read my essay, and made corrections to it, she has to listen to me and give me an explication. Because I am really upset about that 60. Bye friend…..
