Holiday Break!

My holiday break was very fun yet calm. For Christmas Eve I went to my Great Aunt Ginger's house. I saw a lot of my relatives that I have not seen in a year. On Christmas I went to my Aunt Donna's house. She made so many different kinds of food. I ate very well over my holiday break. For New Years Eve I had a party at my house. I invited all of my friends and family. It was an awesome way to end the year.

I also had a lot of different events going on besides the holidays. I had play practice two of the days we had break. I was able to see all my friends while we worked on the first song in Footloose. I also won free tickets to see Disney on Ice. I took three of my friends and we all had a blast. I was very happy that we decided to go. Overall, I love all the things I did during holiday break.

Blog- Post Assessment

When I am looking for a quick bite to eat I always stop at my favorite place, Chipotle. The Chipotle that I always go to is located at 40 State Route 17, East Rutherford NJ. Chipotle serves amazing mexican food such as burritos, burrito bowls, tacos and salads. My favorite dish is the burrito bowl with chicken, cheese, sour cream, lettuce, black bean and white rice. This is a chain restaurant that started in 1993 and escalated from there. If you would like to know more about the history here or watch the video below.

This is my favorite restaurant because the food is so good. When I eat this food I am so happy. The food just puts a big smile on my face. If Chipotle was to close down then I would have to go to Qdoba. I could also go to Moe's. It would be hard to go anywhere else besides Chipotle, but if they closed down then I would have to.

My favorite part about Chipotle is that they cater. When I am having a party, I would call Chipotle. They give you a lot of options for catering. You can just order a bunch of burritos or you can get the two meat spread. They give you so much and there are so many options. Overall, I am in love with Chipotle.

Also here is a video that Chipotle commissioned. It shows how they are all about going back to the start.

Tech Article 12/5/14

• A school recent got a gun recognizing and locating technology.

• If there is a shooter the technology recognizes and contacts the police.

• This also will notify the school authorities so they can lock down the school.

• The school was not named because they did not want to bring attention to the school.

• Also so that a deranged shooter will not try to go to the school.

• The police have been very pleased with how the new system is working. 

• The technology answers the questions such as, " where is the shooter? Has the shooter changed his location? How many shots have been fired? Is the shooting ongoing? And, very important, what is the shooter’s direction of travel?"

Would cost about $50,000 to $100,000.

If I was a Teacher

If I was a teacher I would teach a Musical Theater Class. I think it will help student be able to express themselves easier. They will learn how to sing, dance, act and the history of musical theater. This could help student who are unable to pay for dancing, singing or acting lesson. The class would take place before gym class so that if they need to stay they can. For example, if the class is working on a dance routine they can stay because they are getting their exercise from the dancing.

I would want my class to be very free flowing. I want the students to be able to express themselves very easily. We would put of musical production each season. I would also teach the audition process. I would also have two classes, one for people who want to pursue this and another for people who just do it for fun. My objective would be to make sure everyone pushes their boundaries but are still comfortable.

Wiki Research

1. How can a wiki be used a current class on your schedule (not this course)? Pick a class and be specific how the class could create and use a Wiki on a regular basis (tip: Use the Internet, here is a good source). In Italian class we always have a ton of projects. Wiki makes it easier to work in a group and find information about things Italian. There a lot of different information about things in Italian. For example, if we wanted to look up someone famous in Italy all the information would be right on Wiki. 
2. are the benefits of using a wiki in class? The benefits of Wiki is having all this information at the tips of your fingers. It is easy to look up information on a Wiki. You can learn so much by just going on a Wiki. You can also find people's opinions which could help for a debate in class. Overall, Wiki is a great start for research. 
3. How can we create a wiki in this class, what would be contribute to it and how would be utilize it on an on-going basis? We could talk about new technological advantages. Everyone can write what they know about the advantage. We could also continue writing on the Wood-Ridge High School page. Maybe we could add something about the arts since there is nothing there about the arts. 
4. What experience do you have using or creating wikis? I have never created a Wiki. I used it yesterday in English to look up a poet. I also find some random facts on there. I enjoy finding new things out during the day. I also like hearing people's opinions about certain topics.
