Debate Rages Over Cellphone Use In Classrooms

I definitely agree with this article. However because it is a newspaper article I feel that they should not be using things like LMAO, gr8, and OMG because it should still be a professional article. I do not think that this article is biased. I agree with the fact that students should be allowed to use cellphones and other forms of technology during class. I do not think that students should be allowed to use cellphones to text to friends in different classes about random things but this is a personal choice and is inevitable. It is also the responsibility for the student to pay attention in class. Schools need to start embracing technology and utilise it to help students learn. Technology will always be around now and will become more frequent in life. Straight out banning something doesn't prevent it from occuring. It's the same concept as marijauna and underage drinking. People will always find a way around it and it will create more problems if it's banned than it would if it was allowed.

Gotta just love a Saturday night at home, although I did go to the arena for a few hours but that was to work in the booth. Currently just on facebook, msn, listening to music, watching Family Guy, and of course working on my amazing school project my blog. Well not to sure what to say so I'll start with what I did this weekend and maybe I'll get some fantastically brillant idea. Last night also known as Friday I went over to my cousin's house where my family was making salsa. I tried to stay out of the kitchen so I was upstairs watching "How It's Made" with my cousins. Today I just had a relaxing day at home and worked on my law a bit. Tomorrow going to church, Mennonite in case your wondering. Supposed to read a chapter for it but I haven't done it yet. Just a rebel I guess. Haha no I'll probably read it tomorrow morning. Then I think I'm going to my Grandpa's brother's house. I don't know why though and maybe working in the arena again. So happy I no longer have French homework finally dropped that course and took International Business instead. Only wasted about half my life on that language. Sad thing is it would probably be benificial if im planning on going into law or work for the UN.

I was told my paragraphs are too long so I decided to start a new one. As of two days ago I've been assigned a curfew for being on my laptop and in about three minutes I'll be breaking it. It's weird because I don't have a curfew but I have one for being on my laptop? Confusing. Yesterday I booked a ticket to see Wicked, the play in Toronto on October 27 with some amazing people a couple who are in this class. Yea at this point im spitting out random things I have a tendency to do that or so I've been told that I never finish my thoughts. Also I phoned back Young Drivers just love getting harassed by them. they have a really grumpy receptionist. I need to give them a copy of my Driver's license in order to book my in-car. So if anyone knows how to scan stuff on to my computer let me know. Oh and I do have a scanner so I know it's possible somehow. Anyone notice how the "Chipmunks" make awful remixs of songs and it just wrecks the song for you. I think the thing that bugs me the most is they get like over a million hits and it's like how can you listen to this insanely high screeching. The only one they got better than the original is Hot and Cold by Katy my Lady. But that's not to hard to beat seeing her remix with Elmo. I can not spell at this point but I don't really want to get up and go to bed.

I think I'm going to either keep listening to music and maybe play a facebook game or watch a video by Fred. He doesn't seem that funny or interesting at first but i've learned to appreciate his creative genius abilities. To be honest he still annoys me a bit but he's good. You Tube him if you never have nothing to do. Just listening to "Don't Stop Believing" by the cast of Glee. Some of my bestfriends are Gleeks. Here and overseas. Speaking of overseas I'm so excited for christmas I have a one way plan ticket to the UK still need to buy one for a flight home. Can't wait to see everyone again. I love how I switch topics every sentence. Thinking I really need ro work on my organizational skills. Im the same with music i just went from Glee to Eminem and soon Kesha or Katy Perry. Im kinda the same with a lot of things like books, TV shows and my friends. I don't really fit into a group in school. I've been called a preppy drifter by a lot of people. Personally I like this title and it shows my uniqueness cause Im like the only one at school. I can hang out with smokers, nerds,drama/ artsy/ music people and pretty much any and every group. However I tend to stay away from the athletes. Im so lazy but I do dance and I have played soccer for most of my life kind of quit because of work, school, dance and now travelling to UK during my summers. Right now I've got two people trying to help me scan my license. Gotta love online connections.

Blog#1 About Me

My name is Dylan Brenneman. I am 17 years old and in grade twelve at Waterloo Oxford. The reason I took Writers Craft is because I would like to get into law when I am older and I feel that this is a chance to help me improve my writing abilities. I am currently taking seven courses they are: writers craft, business leadership, French, English, SAC, math, and law. After I graduate high school I would like to go to the U.K. to study law. I would like to be in Scotland and go to the University of Glasgow or Edinburgh. The reason I would like to go to the U.K. is because my dad and his family live over there. I am going to apply for a British citizenship which I should automatically get because technically I am first generation Canadian on my dad's side. Eventually I would like to travel all over the world and I am planning on starting with Europe. I would like to work for the UN or European Union when I am older. I would also like to become fluent in German, and possible French. I would also like to learn Italian and or Latin. A few of my favourite writers are Dan Brown, and Ted Dekker. I really like their novels because they are full of action and suspense. I am involved in a lot of extra-curricular activities after school including dance two nights a week at Onstage Dance Studio in Stratford, WAVYE, soccer and CWAC, this year I am also joining DECA, SWB, and the Yoga Club. I currently work at AMKAD Metal Components which is a very convenient job because it is right across from my house. I am an only child but I soon may have three step siblings who live in Liverpool, England. They are Lauren 19, Conor 17, and Jack 14.
