How does the revised version of our class differ from the first version?
There were a lot of differences between our revised version of our class compared with the first version. First off all, the biggest change was having everything graded at the end of the semester. The new lesson plan was a big thing. You completely changed the topics that we went over. I like the fact that you changed the topics around, but you should have made us speak up more. I don’t think we knew what was exactly going on at that time. I think we were all still confused about the class change and we were not actually focused on the fact that we had to choose something to write about.
Which one do you prefer? Why?
First of all, both of the lesson plans had there positive and negatives but I most defiantly preferred the revised class. It gave us a lot more freedom. It actually made me feel like I was in college. It is up to us as students to get things done on time. I actually felt responsible for once in college. All of my teachers in high school told me that college was going to be a lot different, but coming here I realized that it isn’t that much different. A lot of teachers still accept the same lies. Having the lesson plan this way, students have no excuse; we are handing everything in at the end. It is our own fault if we don’t pass.
What could be changed next time? Why?
I personally didn’t like the fact that we completely don’t know are grade. It puts a lot of stress on us as students. I know that it is our own responsibility to get things done, but it is hard to know how to improve if you don’t know how you did on the previous essays. Yes, you did hand us back our fist in class essay, but it would have been better if you handed it back a lot sooner. By you showing us that, I was able to see how you graded and how I was somewhat doing in the class. If you were to do this lesson plan next year I would most defiantly give that essay back a lot sooner. It is a good way to give you students a heads up as to how they are doing.
What did you like/dislike about the Clark 111 classroom itself?
I really enjoyed working in Clark 111. It was a great experience. I have never been able to use a computer in a class before. Most of the time, the teachers don’t trust the students. It would have been better if we could have used the big computers more. Overall, I really like working in the Clark class room and there was nothing that I disliked about it; it is a great resource.

NO, there is still a lot of work that i have to do. I need to make sure that my sources are authoratative.

Recources Reflections
1) how did you find your recources..
For my recources, i used the library, the internet and myself. AT the library I found books to use. I went on the coarse catolog and found books that best fitted my supject. I also used the library's webite to find magazing articles; i went on academic premeire. I also interviewed my friends that live in the dorms with me. I asked they why they used facebook; what is facebooks purpose.
2) How has research altered your original idea...
In the begining i really didnt know what to talk about, but as i started to do research it really heloed me. I usually tend to pick really broad topics, so while I was doing the research, i was able to narrow down my topic. Now, i am focusing more on the idea that americans like to gossip and facebook it making it worse.....

This is a magazine article from Time magazine. It states a lot of interesting facts about facebook and how it is used. In the article is stated “It's a website, but in a sense, it's another version of the Internet itself: a Net within the Net, one that's everything the larger Net is not.” This article truly made me think about facebook as a whole. It talks about how facebook is a way to learn all about you. You are basically giving away all of you information; we are living in a world without secrets; it is practically impossible to hide anything these days. Time magazine is also a creatable source because it has to be checked before it can be published. It is also a highly looked at magazine and it would be very shocking for the readers to find out that some of their information is inaccurate.

For my interview, I interviewed a eighteen year old boy from San Francisco. He is currently going to San Jose state and he is a freshman. Right now he is single and his is interested in women. His birthday is on May ninth. He went to Westmore high and he was the class of 08. I was able to find all of this information just by being his friend on facebook.
Why do you have a Facebook account?
Vincent: All of my friends had one, and they told me to make one.
Me: So you feel that you were peer pressured?
Vincent: Yeah. They kept bugging me until I made one!
Me: Do you feel that having a facebook is a good thing?
Vincent: Yes.
Me: Why?
Vincent: It is a great way for me to communicate with my friends.
Me: Do you feel that there are any down sides to having a facebook?
Vincent: Yeah, it can become very addictive. Sometimes I don’t realize how long I have been on it till I look at my clock. I is a great way to see what people have been up to.
Me: So, in a way it can be a bit depressing because you get to see what people have been doing, but you may have not been invited.
Vincent: Yeah, I never thought about it that way, but it is true. Sometimes I have seen photos of my friends hanging out and wished that I could have been there.
Me: How many hours a day do you spend on Facebook?
Vincent: About one hour a day.

This article talks about how facebook is extremely addicting. In the article, it states that “14.8 percent of Facebook users admit to all-day loafing.” This is a percentage out of 500, so that is a really high number. The fact that people can spend their whole day on facebook is scary. It is a way to stalk a person, but sometimes people can go too far. A person should never know what a person is doing every second of every day. Not only is facebook taking up students time, it is also taking up a lot of adults time. There are a lot of people out there who cannot stay away from facebook. It is affecting the workforce greatly. The article states that “Employment law firm Peninsula recently estimated that 233 million hours are lost every month in the UK alone as a result of employees using social networking sites” Social networking is changing our society greatly.
