Editorial

     An editorial is an article that can be viewed from many people, like Wikipedia.  It's written by an editor expressing their feelings.  Many teachers told me that Wikipedia is not reliable because people can go in and change the facts.  On reports, teacher will not allow me to use Wikipedia.  They believe it does not store the correct information.  I never thought why they won't allow us to use Wikipedia, but when I got older, I found out why.  After reading this article, I know now that Wikipedia can by helpful.

Educational Technology and Copyright Law

What I learned from the article
  • Copyright is a United State federal law.
  • You can copyright something if you take a picture of something that is yours and you post it.
  • If the image you searched up for your report is not licensed, then you should give credit to the person who made it.
  • Teacher's copyright, if they show the students a picture.
  • According to the law, teacher are not copyrighting if they have multiple  copies for classroom use.

     Ms. Larson, my third period biology teacher, is a fast teaching teacher.  She is a new teacher in Wood-Ridge Junior/Senior High School.  Ms. Larson grew up in a farm, where she still works at on Saturdays.  She,also raised a lot of animals.  Her dad was paralyzed, now recovered but his hands.  Her grandmother,on the other hand, got cancer and past away.  She did not get her doctor-in-degree.   When she was in high school, biology was not her best subject, but when she took AP Biology, senior year, so she won't have to take it in college.  Now she likes biology and is here to teach us all about biology and how it can help us in our lives.
     When class first started, I thought  we would learn about cancer and different types of diseases.  We had learn a lot the past few days of school.  We learned about diseases and how it could spread and how we could cure it.  She taught us about glow in the dark cats.  We also learned that bees  are dying and that we need to make robot bees or human can never pollinate our plants.  We learn a great amount of things in her class.
     We might do labs, but her room is too small and can't us fire.  In that case, we might go to Mr. Colarusso's room and do some labs there.  If we do have that chance we could dissect frogs and much, much more.  Today, we are painting each others nail, but then removing it with nail polish remover.
       We have not use technology yet.  Also, she has not shown us the grading system for her class.  She is a teacher that goes through lessons super fast and if you do not have it down, she does not go back.  She is nice but strict.  My brother has her as a science teacher,too.
