Skateboarding

Skateboarding has been a huge part of my life now for three years. I skate every day that i can, but recently it has been raining and the weather has been terrible. Today however, it is supposed to warm up to about 60 degrees, and tomorrow and saturday it is going to be 70 degrees, so it is going to be perfect weather for skating. I have been told that i am one of the best skaters in town. I like that people think that, but i hate it when people ask me if i can do something that this other guy can do, or has already has done. Skateboarding is supposed to be all about having fun and just having a good time, it is not a competition. I mean sure i like it that i am pretty good and i can beat a lot of people in games of S.K.A.T.E and i can do things that not a lot of people can do, but i dont go around braging about it, like some of the peolple in this town do. There is hardly any skateboarders left in this town and most of them are just little annoying kids that dont know how to skate. Now its just me and a few of my friends that are keeping the skateboarding tradition alive in Coshocton.

When "Acceptable" Becomes "Unacceptable"

The growth of online learning has begun to require schools to use more computer usage now because of the technology that is being updated and developed everyday. Foreward educators are now putting new technologies to the service of innovative teaching and learning. Appleton eSchool is a virtual school that depends on the technology and developement of computers and technology itself to run its virtual school. Gaming on computers at this school is not aloud, but a game that could be related to an approved Algebra class could be appropriate for students to play. Websites are checked and then approved beefore students are aloud to use them. This is a very useful method so that students do not get on sites that are inappropriate for school. It is amazing to see that technology has come so far that now there are even virtual schools online for kids to go to. This is very good to see that schools are now able to be taken online, but still there are precautions that need to be taken to make sure that students will be using appropriate websites for their work.
