FaceBook Security

I understand that Facebook wants to increase our security. Many weird people are gaining access to Facebook hacking and looking at our profile. Facebook security was created because of these purposes, to keep unknown people away from us. I think this is really good because it makes me feel safer. Also, it prevents bad people from entering our space. Third, who knows how many viruses are in the internet... but with this security, maybe they'd block them. I don't think that they'd be THAT successful. Although, they've kept up the good work on trying to prevent these hackers. Maybe, in a few years, they'll have the best security EVAR!!!1!!!!11! This will affect the way I use Facebook in many ways. I would do more stuff there, now that its all "secured".

Band: UnderΦath

Underoath's webpage is really great and creative. The background is an inmense image that has a great explanation of who they are. The page doesn't scroll, instead, you click where you want to go. For example, if you want to go to their album history, click the tab, then it magically send you to that part of the image background. They've got everything that I'd expect... and even more! They have News, Shows, Band Members, Music, Media, Photos, Journal, Links, Contact, eNews, and Merchandise. Also, its very colorful, is just cheers you up, in a certain way... ? Anyways, its got all the information you need to know this band.

T.V. Show: Fresh Prince of Bel Air

F.P.B.A is a fantastic website. The first page of the site is intruducing while playing it´s theme. Also, the tabs are funny and creative. If you move your mouse to a tab, it pops-up with a stylish new font. Second, its only one page instead of a complex one. Its easier because your computer could work better that way. Third, it is really helpful if you want to know about the show. Its got their bios, video clips to let you know how they act, and images.

Movie: YES! Man

Natalia... you could've done better. It was difficult reading the explanations, they were the same color as the background

MAP Testing

I used to love MAP Testing now, I don't. The reason's because they put non-sense questions. For example:

Martha has a green basket with cherries.

With the information given, how many cherries are in the basket?

A. 2

B. 56

C. 6

D. 94



So, OBVIOUSLY you had to choose one, and of course... you don't know wich one to choose so your score lowers. Now you get what Im saying? Besides in the reading MAP, the questions are soo long! Your eyes get dry and they itch, ALOT. In language testing, it talks about math, its just random! I never knew why they tested us with this. Why can't they just give as a test themselves, not these dumb computers.



Also, people cheat on these test. Im NOT going to state who, but they just go on guessing the answers and finishing first than others. Not only that, but the worst part is that they get a REALLY high score. But those who don't cheat, get an average or low score. Thats really not fair. Thats why we should do a written or someting similar test.

Social Network

Im involved in social media because I use websites like Facebook, Blogger, Youtube, Goodreads and Myspace. In Facebook and Myspace you can view someones profile and leave a comment or something like it. Also, you can add people you think you've met. Perhaps, you have a friend that has a friend, and then you add him as friend and he becomes your friend. Thats how you get into Social Networking. This is also, all around the world... and this might be a problem.

This affects me in school both ways. In the good point of view, I know what my friends are up to. In Facebook most of them post what they are doing or what they are going to do. I also do that, it helps me get more social with people. But, on the other point, if you give alot of information of yourself, it could turn into a very bad situation. Also, if I'm sick I can just log in and just ask for the homework.

This should affect me in school in the folllowing ways. First, I should stop going in the Social Network because I get stuck in it and cant finish homework. Second, instead of going to school, they should just post the homework. In conclusion, this affects me in good ways, and bad ways.

HOMEWORK

I know how to add simple stuff. For example, polls, links, and videos.

I'd expect this to use for good entertainment like adding games, music on the background etc.

I created this blog because it was a homework assignment.

I solved today's problem by logging to Facebook and asking for them.
