Here is a video I made using animoto. They had a wide variety of good Christian music which was pretty cool. These are just some pictures of animals and a couple of me and my dog. It was fun and easy to make.

This is the link to my Voki, for some reason I could not get it to get directly on the page. I will work on that. But this is a very small part of the "Tear Down This Wall" speech by Ronald Reagan. Unfortunately, Voki's only allow you to say a very limited amount so I was not able to get a good portion of the speech, but here is a little bit of it. Hope it works!

Lately we have been discussing a lot of the importance of online etiquette and how it is important to be careful when you using the internet. Here are some ways that I personally keep myself accountable to what I post online.
1. Don't post a lot.-especially stuff about other people or your emotions. I often feel like places like FB are places to post things that are supposed to get peoples attention. Sometimes you just have a bad day, and things come across the wrong way. It is better not to post anything if it is going to be misinterpreted.
2. Remember who is going to see this stuff- if you post pictures or statements online it is important to remember that your parents, grandparents, teachers, coaches, Jesus, the little kids you baby sit, and the grade kids that watched you play basketball in high school can possible see them. Up hole your reputation and character for these people.
3. Make sure when you do send messages they are clear and understandable. This one is difficult for me. I might know what I am trying to say, but the reader may not and be confused. Use the little smiley faces and other things to help interpret your meanings.
4. If you have a problem with someone, don't be rude and post it over the internet. Just because you can hide behind your computer screen doesn't mean that you can go off about how some people are not like you and have differences that you feel are irreconcilable.
Now that I just broke all of those rules, i'm going to go find something else to do. But keep these things in mind when your tempted to be rude to someone over the internet.

CyberBullying.
Cyber bullying/ harassment is a growing problem that has become a huge ordeal over the past years. Cyber bullying shows the "maturity" and self centeredness of the American culture. Though we could discuss this in further detail, I am just going to give a definition of cyber bullying and some website to help students if faced with this issue.
Cyber Bulling: when a person,a child or an adult, uses technology to target, make fun of, and emotionally hurt another adult or child. This can included, sending mean messages to a child, breaking into and child's social networking accounts and sending rude messages to others, sending mean messages under another child's name, degrading another child through the use of texting, networks, etc.
These are just a few examples. The reason that people chose to do stuff like this over cyberspace is because it is harder to get caught. Here are a few websites that assist in fighting cyber bullying.
http://www.stopcyberbullying.org
http://www.focusonthefamily.com -type in cyber bullying in the search engine and they will take you to a few places on how to treat cyber bullying.
http://www.stopbullying.gov
As a future teacher this will be an issue that will need to be researched and discovered. We need to teach children how to behave over cyberspace just like they would anywhere else. We as adults should be a good example to students how you treat your friends using technology.
