Do Now 1/2/14

I have learned a lot in 2013. It was a fun year with many new experiences and great memories but almost all good things must come to an end. In 2013, i tried new activities, like running, and joined the winter track team. I am excited for what 2014 has in store. This year, I aim to improve my grades to be better than how they are now. I would also like to continue to do track in winter and do other sports in spring and fall seasons. I'd also like to continue doing choir and join the glee club. Later in 2014, I will become a junior, so I also aim to do good on the HSPA and SAT tests. My plans for 2014 are to make the year memorable, challenge myself to do better in everything I do, and have fun.

I think twitter and instagram are great for educational use. Since many of us use these websites, we could use them for school. There can be tweets of the homework, and we can use instagram to post videos and photos of assignments and lessons. We can also use these two sites for our Friday technology article.There are many ways we can use these social media sites in the means of education.
