November was "Good Nutrition Month." Think back to the different types of food you ate. Are you getting enough servings from each of the food groups? Create a plan of how you will eat healthier next month, or how you will continue to eat healthy.

I am eating healthy and right. I try to load up on protein and carbs and get lots of calories in my body so I can get bigger. I try to eat at least 3 meals a day. I drink my protein shake once a day. I also take a multi-vitamin and creatine

Optional blog today - Happy Thanksgiving! What are you thankful for?

I'm thankful for my family, friends, and my life. I am thankful for my freedom and the people who are there for me...

Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey, not the bald eagle, to be our country's symbol. If you had the opportunity to help decide on our nation's symbol, would you choose the turkey or the bald eagle? Or would you choose a different animal all together? Explain your answer.

I would keep our animal as the bald eagle because it represents freedom and it is a cool animal. The bald eagle is strong and free. While turkeys are weak.

In 1965, the famous science-fiction writer Arthur C. Clark remarked, “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” What is your view of the idea that advanced technology is no different from magic? In your blog, support your position by discussing an example (or examples) from literature, the arts, science, technology, current events, or your own experiences or observations.

I believe technology is not like magic because we invented it, while magic is fake. Most magic is just illusions and mind games. Technology is not a mind game, nor is it a illusion.

On this day in 1923, the traffic light was patented. How do you think the colors of the traffic light: red, yellow and green, were decided upon?

1. Red is bad so you have to stop.
2. Yellow is mellow so you have to slow down.
3. Green is good so you have to go.

On November 19, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address. Using the Internet, learn five (5) facts about the Gettysburg Address and summarize them in your own words. How would today's technology change things?

Todays technology could summarize the gettysburg address and shorten it. It could show us what it mean and translate it to modern day language...

Write a paragraph that compares the technology that we use extensively in our country and how this same technology may be viewed in a different country.

I believe that our technology in the US compared to some of the technology in mid Africa is very different. I believe we are more advanced in technology, and we continue to improve, while they do not have the money, nor the education to develop this new technology

U.S. residents have some of the highest levels of stress of any nation in the world. Choose a piece of technology, Is this piece of technology increasing the amount of stress in our everyday lives or lessening it? In what ways might this technology affect stress levels?

The piece of technology I chose is a phone because it causes people a lot of stress and problems in their life. They have to pay things on their phone, and they get news on their phone good or bad.

How would your life have been different if you'd grown up 20 years earlier? 10 years earlier? 10 years later? 20 years later? How would technology have affected your life differently? Would you be a different person today (other than age-wise)?

I believe that if I were to grow up 20 years later I would be very selfish and very technology dependent. I would need technology to do everything, and I would not be thankful for anything. I'm pretty sure everything would just be handed to me and I would not earn anything.

What do you think about the Amazon Echo and your privacy?

I think the Amazon Echo is a very cool device and I like it. I think it would be cool to own a echo and I am not very concerned about my  privacy. If the echo hears what I am talking about then so be it.

How do you feel as though technology has changed your relationships with other people? Do you consider your interpersonal connection better or worse with the innovations of texting, Twitter, Facebook, and the like? Be specific and cite several examples.

Technology has allowed me to meet so many new people and I have created life long friendships through the computer. Mainly I meet people Through video games and steam. I have also met many people through social media such as twitter and instagram.

"National Peanut Butter Lover's Month." A large number of students today are allergic to peanut butter. Some classrooms and/or schools have even become "Peanut Free" zones. Do you think this is fair for the students who are not allergic to peanut butter? Explain your thinking.

Yes, I do think it is fair because students can eat peanut butter elsewhere. It is not good to put others in risk when you can just eat is somewhere else. Many  students are very allergic to peanut butter, and if they are in contact with it the health risks are very dangerous.

What does digital footprint mean to you? Please reply in your blog. After the video, please reflect on digital footprint.

I think digital footprints are traces of what you have done on the internet. You have to be careful with what you do, because companies can track what you do. Everything you do on the internet it seen.
