Samuel Urias’s Paperless Classroom Orientation Unit Assessment 2012

Here is a link to my project.

Gmail
Gmail helps me to communicate with my teachers, because if she asks me a question, I can answer her later via email:










Blogger
Blogger can help me share my work because I can post it to the web and anyone can see it :



















Google Docs:
Google docs can help me complete my work because it is easy to use and it corrects my spelling and grammar so I won’t make the mistake again.




















Reflection
Technology helps me learn because it fits my learning style. For example, I am able to create or bubble clusters to complete assignments. This shows that I can get it done faster and efficiently. This also shows that I am able to understand the concepts easily, because they are visual. In addition, it is also a fun and different way to learn rather than just books. This shows that I am more engaged in my learning.
This also shows that I can concentrate with ease and complete my work. In conclusion, technology facilitates my learning.

JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 5

Vaccinations should be required for all students. I believe this because the pros outweight the cons of vaccinations. For an example a 2003 report by researchers at the Pediatric Academic Society, childhood vaccinations in the U.S. prevent about 10.5 million cases of infectious illness and 33,000 deaths per year. Over 5,500 cases alleging a causal relationship between vaccinations and autism have been filed under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims between 2001 and 2009. In conclusion I belive that parents should endorse vaccines to their children so they don't get a disease and die.

JCCS Academic Language Written Assessment Week 2

You should go to jail for harassing someone on a social networking site. One reason is that it is morally wrong. This shows that it should deserve a consequence. Additionally I believe that talking trash online is worse to talk trash in real life because, depending on the website, it is public and the harasser is to scared to talk face to face. Another reason is that you don't really know the tone of someone online, because it has no emotion so you don't know if their being sarcastic or serious. In conclusion I believe that Online harrassing should have a consequence.

JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 3

Parents should regulate their teens diet and exercise to prevent obesity. One reason is that parents should be responsible and feed their kids healthy food. This shows that the care for their well-being of their children. Moreover example parents should regulate their kids diet because it establishes a healthy lifestyle. This shows that parents taking initiative towards reducing health-related issues. In addition parents should regualte diets to maintain a longer and happier life. This shows that by maintaining that lifestyle their kids can teach their kids to be healthy. In conclusion if parents do care for their children they will regulate their diet.

JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 4

The pressure of teen sports has not gone too far. I actually think that the coaches don't put enough pressure on the kids. This shows that the coaches aren't pushing them to exceed their standards. Also if someone is really bad at the sport, the coach will just say that your doing ok and to keep it up, not encouraging them to do better. This shows that teen athletes are just being complacent. In addition good grades are required to play a sport in school, so people are not going to encourage a student who is failing most or all of his or her classes to particapate in a sport. In conclusion the pressure among teen sports is not present.

CST Testing Reflection

This week I took the California Standardized Test and I think I did good so far. On Monday I took the Language Arts test in Ms. Priesters room, there was a lot of reading in the first part. The second part was a little easier because it had less reading. The second day I didn't have to do any testing because I'm not in a math class so I just stayed in the gym all day. On Wendesday I too the World History test With Ms. Morris and I think I did good.

My Feelings about the Upcoming CSTs

I don't realy feel stressed or nervous about the California Standardized Tests because I just study for it and prepared before it. I wasn't nervous or stressed during the CAHSEE except for the math but beside math test I don't get nervous during test. I just pick the answer that is relevant or seems to be the closes answer to the question.

UnGoogleable Research – What I Already Know

I know what each DEFCON means such as
DEFCON 5 means that there is no war and its peaceful and the military is set to its lowest readiness condition.
DEFCON 4 means its normal but the military is still set to the lowest readiness condition, this DEFCON is the normal defense condition and it is never turned off.
DEFCON 3 means an increase in force readiness above normal readiness
DEFCON 2 means further increase in force readiness, but less than maximum readiness, this is also the highest DEFCON that the United States has set it to during the Cuban Missile Crisis and the military are authorized to send ballistic missiles.
DEFCON 1 means maximum force readiness and the military are authorized to send nuclear bombs.

The procedures are different between many commands, they have changed over time as new weapon systems are created, and the precise details remain classified. For each DEFCON the Army, Marines, and other branches have different procedures, drills, and commands as the conditin of readiness changes.

Fourth Quarter Kickoff Reflection

I went to the tech center thinking that it was a normal school day, but when I arrived there was no teachers and the lights in the classroom were off. I asked someone were everyone was at and she said that the sophomores were in the classromm next to the teachers lounge. I went to the classroom and four teachers were there and explaining that we were gonna watch a movie called "Stand And Deliver". The movie was about Garfield High School and the students who passed the APC test. Then we had a discussion about the film. After that we went to go play different games wich I didn't participate in.
