//The benifits of using the worldregions wikispace for home and school assignments are that you can have the oppertunity to place your comments on somebody eslses work. Also you will be exsposed to a different way of learning and working. Another thing is we will get to share what we think and how we feel about a certain topic ,in reflections like this. Challengs we may face are innapropriet words said about our work. Other challenges are not knowing what and how to do something. Another is getting distracted and not saveing your work. So as you can see there are pros and cons to using the world regions wikispace,but it is still a good idea. //

I enjoyed reading your reflection. You mentioned that a challnge would be not knowing how to do somehing. A great resourcefor you would be Alex. he is very talented with computer programs. If you have questions, log onto his page and leave a question there. I am sure that he can help you. Another idea is to post it on the discussion page.

Great work! Ms Flood

I totally agre with you "Chris"

Very well writen :) Love, Gabby

//**__5/12/2010__ I totally agree with and understand the district guidelines.Nobody should have the right to say inappropriate words or do inappropriate things online. Other classmates should not have to worry about being harassed in anyway online. Aslo the class might have to pay for what one person did. Just remember it only takes one to ruin everything.Do you really want to be that one person? **//

Good job Kylie! urs is really good! Benelisse

=Yes I agree with your status and Benna no texting language just remember that for next time.= =Best Friend, Gabby=

I agree one person can ruin it for everyone ,good work Kylie "Ricky"

yeah kylie it does take one person to ruin things "Chris"

Trust me Kylie, no one wants to be that person! Also, I liked your reflection. "Colleen"

 Cultural influences in my area are The Cinco De Mayo celebration,churches,and farm parks.Some values that americans share are celebrating national holidays like Thanksgiving,Memorial Day,Independence day, and 9/11.We all share the idea of having some kind of education,and having the right to work.Also there is voting for our elected representitives,and what rules are passed.We share a lot more, and just being citizens of the United States is one.

I agree with being a citizen because that relates us all. "Chris"

 * A few years ago the Gulf Coast was devastated by Hurricane Katrina, which changed the cultural make-up of the area. Now the BP oil leak is doing the same thing. Fisherman can’t do their jobs because many species of fish are dying because of the oil. Many families are canceling their vacations because of the oil. If the oil spreads out far enough it can affect the islands and countries around us. It could affect Cuba, Mexico, or even South America.**

Do you have ideas on how they could stop the oil leak? Is there a chance that it will reach the east coast of the United States? How will it effect our economy?

5/20/2010 I have an idea on how they could get the oil out of the water.This may not be the right way to do this but they could first lower a tube into the water to the oil. The tube would have a special filter to atract oil.The tube will then suck up nall the oil.I don't think it will get a chance to spread to the east coast because it is moving downward.The oil leak is going to affect our economy bigtime because there is all ready a lot of damage and as it spreads it will probably bring more.

I really like how you described your idea and it sounds cool ~Christine~

I liked your paragraph. I just disagree on how you said that we should not get oil spread near us, because it all depends on which way the current is moving.I also like your idea of how they could get the oil out of the water ,it reminds me of a magnet except it would attract oil."Ricky"

 * "Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand.” **  - Chinese Proverb

The qoute above means that I may not be able to learn by listening or watching but doing I can use.It relates to our class assignments because we have centers we are doing and interacting with most of our learning tools.Also we interact by playing the vocabulary games.I learn by somebody showing me then doing.I can't just do it after somebody telling me to.

**"We wiil have rebirth We will have rebirth We will have rebirth someday".**
 * I think the song We Shall Overcome means that the slaves are saying someday all their dreams will come true. They are saying that soneday they will walk hand and hand and will be free someday. Also that after they are free they will forget all their hard times and start a new life. If i could add a verse to the song it would be: **

**Hey! Remember to wear Blue tomorrow!

I have only at ENMS for a year an a half now but there are many things similar and different from field day this year and from field day last year. In some ways field day was better this year than it was last year and in others it was not.Last year feild day had a lot of boring games and wasn't very competative but it did have a water balloon toss and that was fun but for some reason we didn't have it this year.This year field day was a lot better we had more competative games and was really fun, but it didn't have a water balloon I really missed that. Field should get better and better every year but we should keep the water games.

There a lot of pros and cons to using wikispaces for starters homework is a lot easier,but I learned it is a lot easier to forget to do your homework. Another pro is you can ask questions on the dissusion page, but a con to that is your question may not get answered right away. Also, you have the oppertunity to do work whenever you want,but you may not have a computer at home so it will be just like old times.So yea,there are some cons to this website but it is stilll a great idea. **
 * <span style="color: #f00505; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 110%;">What were the pros and cons of using this site?

The most benefical thing about wikispaces is learning at a higher level without really trying. We are making our lives so much more advanced than we think. Advancing our knowlege about computers, typing, reading, and most importantly independence. We learn to take resposibility for what we are doing on this website.Most of us know that it is not a joke. So, with saying all of that we learn both educational and life values at a higher level. **

<span style="color: #808000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">**What aspects did you enjoy? The aspects of this website that I really enjoyed are the dissusion page and the icons.I really enjoyed the dissusion page because you can get answers to your questions from not only your peers but your teacher to. The icons were a turn on for me because I got to expess myself not in words but a picture.Those were the aspects of this website that I really enjoyed.**

Where could improvements be made? Some improvements that could be made are that when we are writting in our reflections the tool bar could be like the tool bar on word with spell check and other things like that. That woood make reflecting a lot easier. Also,an instruction page the tells you how to upload stuff and other things.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">**Would you like to continue using wikispaces in future classes? Yes I would like to continue using wikispaces in future classes. I would like to continue using wikispaces with future classes because it is just pure fun and it is easy. I can't imagine using wikispaces in math or commuinications class. That would be really awesome. So yes if i had the option to use wikispaces in a different class i definateley would.**

<span style="color: #808080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Explain how using wikispaces helped you to grow academically. Wikispaces helped me grow academically because I learned how to interact and do work on a computer without a teacher in the same room as me. That definetly teaches me indepedence. It also so teaches me how to use a computer by myself. Using a computer is very important in life you use one in just about every profession. So using wikispaces teaches me a lot.

I don't really think it helped us build relationships with each other because we weren't really talking about things we were interested in. We were giving our perspectives but that doesn't describe much about us.I really don't think we learned anything about each other except our writting styles. I don't think we really grew any relationships.**
