I believe that theoretically it will work but in the actual case it cannot. I think that education can be creative and "alive" but many times it will not work. Provide cell phone to teach student may cause chaos. Technology is not design for education because they are not a good and safe tool for student to use to learn.
(The picture above was from CNN)
Often technology got recreated and hacked by people.According to the article we can make rules but in many case punishment cannot solve the problem because it is similar to diseases the disgusting technic will get better. For a good example, From my observation and what I found, in our school technology is a problem. I personally believe that it is over use of technology. People in our school people use PC and Mac. For the minor reason computer game are similar disease because it will spread out and everyone will have one in their computer. When is the time for break everyone just siting on the chair and playing game not getting sun light under the sun. That is a unhealthy habit for student to learn. Well, the major reason is during class. People is not paying attention in class because of the computer. The user's agreement seems not work. there are a hole from that because it is computer. It could hide almost everything in it. Computer operate system is only a script of computer language that organize the other computer script so you can use it conveniently but you still could make a computer script that hide from the operate system. From this example therefore I think that technology should not be used in education.

8th grade perspective essay
I were told to write a short essay in class. It is an essay written from when 8th grade present their expedition. I was having fun writing that short essay. I was writing from Kevin Chi's perspective but instead of writing him I create another person. In the short story I imagine what is Kevin Chi thinking in front of the whole school. The reason that I choose Kevin Chi is because I think he is interesting and I think is a stereotype to write a person go on stage and act like they are nervous.
If I got more time. I want to revise the essay because the essay written in a short time so I believe that there will have many mistakes in the essay.

Writing and reading fictions
I read many stories on Fiction on web and I found out amazing that It actually follow the rule from The Owl At Purdue site. On the site It tell the problems that happened often on beginning fiction writer. The problems are Summary and Scenes, telling and showing, control of scope of the story, stereotype character, overly dramatic plot.
After reading stories, I see the most often and the most important problem was the controlling the scope of the story. From what I read they all show good at controlling the scope. I do not know if that is somebody's problem but I think one of my big problem was controlling the scope of the story.
In the first story I read, Adenburrow, I found that the story is well organized in both it's ideas and paragraphs. In the story I found really good scene and really good dramatic plot. It really describe a man who is having day dream about sex and interrupt by a unrelated stranger.
Another story I read was Granny. It was about a family's granny have a weird habit of prepare give. In the story I found the story have a well fixing stereotype character because it give many information about the character.
After reading many I found interesting that many of story in the fiction on web are pretty straight forward. I do not know if I am really lucky that in five story that I read I did not found any symbolism or satire or.....etc. However, I think this shows how important that having good organized story is better than the bad organized but got many literary term.

Should an 18 Year Old Really Know What They’re Going to Do For the Rest of Their Life?
Well, I personally think you do not need to know. I believe that you do not need to know what you going to be in the future but if you know it then that is better. I think for some people it is hard to find what things they are interested doing it. From the Stacy wrote, I think adults have bad stereotype idea that you have to know what to do or you else will not success. Sometimes things are not fast and sometimes your interest will be irrelevant to what adults thought you want to do. I knew a guy he is from Harvard and he study bio- tech but he end up being music DJ. At last I want to emphasize that you still got many year to decide what you want to do. The important thing is to choose the future you like the best.

Cat's cradle and Beach
This is the letter Newton didnt sent out.
To Jonah:
I have something to share with you. Although I was small and I do not know if that could help you, I will just say it.
I remember this is four month before he died, our family went to beach to get some sunlight and feel the summer. My family was still the same as the old days. On that day my father still wear a suit and smoking cigar. As you know my father is those kind of person that except his work, he spent least amount of time to dress him self. My sister was still the same, when we get to the beach she start to putting sun screen and telling me and my brother that we have be careful when we are playing. When I was building sand castle and I saw him talking to him self the whole the time. I remember he said, ” Turtle is swimming in the ocean.” I still do not get why he says that. Maybe he is saying for nothing.
However, I think that is what I remembered. I was just surprised he said something.

Cats Cradle
hmm...
Cats cradle ...it is about cat and it's and cradle ......haha joking
No. from what I have read I think Cat's cradle is a simple book with complex idea. It is a satire book that contain black humors. The book started with a person and he is describing what happened to him self.
I personally think that Kurt Vonnegut is using Jonah to laugh at every religion. In the beginning of the book he write a Christian book but him self is not a Christian. After that he started to tell his religion, the Bokononism. From that I think the religion started to telling a little about the Dr. Hoenikker. Dr. Hoenikker got a weird family. From my perspective the reason he got a weird family is because his personality is weird. Although he isolated and looked cold blood-ed, I think he is just a person that do not follow the society. In his Hoenikkers family newton's mom died and left 3 children. The result of that is his sister is being like mom and his brother got mess up mind. the only normal one is Newton.

New blog "alternative medicine"
I subscribe a blog is about medicine/ health discovery. The blog is about "Sexually Transmitted Diseases."
Maybe, my thought is not related to the blog entry but I think that there are many many ways to decrease the amount of sex. I think the best way to do it is to let people know about "sex".

The Voice
I think if to summarize and to question is first and second important thing when you read. The voice is the third. The reason is if you do not know the voice you cannot understand what the is the moral behind the story. Language are free and could be many forms. Irony, sarcastic, comedy.
I read the gift and tough teacher
for myself look for the voice, I look for the opinion the author have .

summary and reading
A new way. That could improve your quality of reading stuff. Usually, when I read a Shakespeare play I well get a reading guide and my summary to summarize the play. In the play many thing are happening and it is complicated when things happen when many character appeared. If this happened, you should have this skill because this strategy have both review and analyzation. when you try to summarize you will try to think back what you have read and think what happen inside. After you summarize you will have a image in your head that tells you about the book, so that you can dig deep into the book easier.

Amateur learner and a Mature learner
After I read Arthus Erea I thought something. From what I know from his article, I think that it is important that a student is a amateur learner. Teacher in the school make you cram things into your head and try to tell you that no good grade = no good job = no $$$. Well, I believe that the world is simlar as this. Although, the world didn't tell you that no good grade =no good job =no $$$, it showed a attitude and personality of doing things. The information no good grade = no good job gave from teacher is only a edge of a big image. The picture was because of no good attitude of learning and no good grade so have no college. If you don't have a good college, why a business want you?

Reading and Prediction
I thought this interesting. From my reading habit I always predict when I reading. It was a good thing to do eventhough if no one tells me. For me and my experience of reading English and Chinese I think that is the process to get tot understand the story or the book you are reading. The reason for me to do that is when I usually reads a book sometime I will forgot what I just read. By doing that I could review what have read so that I could dig more into the book.
