Twitter can be used in many different ways in the classroom. Some students who are shy and don't like to take part in class disscussions may rather tweet their answers instead. This will get everyone in the class involved. Twitter can also be used to contact other students and teacher outside of the classroom. Twitter can be used as an additional information source too. If a student cannot find the information they need from google, Twitter can be used to find it. Twitter is good for not only all of the things mentioned above but also  to keep students interested during class. When using Twitter students are more likely to pay attention and be involved.

When I see poverty and violence in the news or in the community it makes me wonder what I can do to help stop them. I like to help out in school but I think it would be even better if I could also help the community. To help these causes food drives, clothing drives, and anti violence fundraisers should be created.These ideas are fun and easy ways to involve the community, help great causes, and fulfill my goal to help others.

On Friday, Typhoon Haiyan ravenged the small island that is the Philippines. This came as a surprise to me because I did not hear this terrible news until this morning. All I think of is how many families have been separated, how many people have lost their lives, and how many people are now homeless. With that said, there are so many things people can do to help the victims of this natural disaster. Average people like you and me can send clothes, money, food, and other essential goods that people in the Philippines are deprived of right now. When disasters like this occur the most important things is for everyone to pitch in and help one another.
