Denver boy, 11, recognized for heroics PLN#6

In the Denver post article and the video called Denver boy, 11, recognized for heroics, It was cool to see that A life was saved by a young boy. The short video showed a few short interview Questions that were answered by the young boy's classmates along with his father. The boys name is Roman Ross; he is an eleven- year- old who happened to act during a point of danger. What happened was a small boy wanted to swim, and fell into the deep end of the pool, when Roman didn't see him; he quickly jumped in to save a life. This is super effective to the world, because it might inspire others to do the same and act when there is an emergency. Roman said that he had always wondered what it would feel like to save someone that was in danger. This will affect the world because we need all of the heroic acts in the world. This is a great example of how we all need to look out for each other as Americans. the story was very cool to come across, all of the other articles were bad news, but this was the first good news that I cam across. This was a very affective article for ma to read, because it was so awesome to see that there are some good things going on in Denver.

Life=Risk PLN#5

In the video Life = Risk, it starts off showing a many famous people that didn't succeed at what they are now known for at first, because of the people that told them that they could not accomplish what they wanted to. It was cool to see that the people who are the best at what they do failed or had people tell them that they would never become what they are today. This is affective to every one because this is a great example; it shows that every one can truly be what they want to if they don't listen to other people that tell them otherwise. This is a affective example for me, because when I was two- years- old I was adopted, and the people said that I would never do anything that had to do with performing or doing anything in front of an audience. Well they were wrong; I have been acting on stage since I was five -years -old. Another example of this is when my grandma go into a car crash, they doctors told her that she would never walk again, well they were wrong. we sometimes walked to get to the mall, and we walked pretty much everywhere. This Video is showing that just because there will be people in life that will tell you that you can't succeed, only you can make that decision.

Your probably not going to believe this By: David Warlick PLN#4

In the article Your Probably not going to believe this I thought that it was funny to see little bobblehead dolls of Obama, Clinton, and McCain. I almost seamed that people are getting way to wrapped up in the political debate, because people made time to create something so ridicules as little political dolls. This article was made by David Warlick, who is a high school teacher. It seams that the only thing that matters to the candidates who are running for office is all of the publicity that is going around. I thought that it was a funny thing to see, because I have never seen anything like this before. The affect that this will have on the people as well as the world is, that everyone and the world will think that the only thing that matters in politics is the publicity. because that is all that they see all of the time, on the political ads, and every where. The affect that this article has on me is not really anything at all, because I mainly thought that the article was ridiculous. This article was especially interesting because the article was kind of hard to fallow for me at least. Ven though I thought that the article was interesting, I still thing that it was ridicules.

Rocky Mountain News artical PLN#3

In the Rockey Mountain News article, there are two men who are in a professional hockey league that are great players. They are playing in Los Angeles, and are referred to as the avalanche. they have been doing a great job this year. They have already made eleven goals, already had six power plays, and they have already had thirteen assists. This can affect the world of hockey fans as well as affecting the young hockey players along with the professionals because all of the fans that are watching these hockey players are so good at what they do. what matters in this article is all of the publicity that the hockey players are getting, because the article is showing how people can do what ever the want to do, because other people have already accomplished something great. This affects me in the way that I can get confidence in what I do because I know that it is possible to do my best and truly be the best if I set my mind to it. Since the hockey players have been doing such an amazing job, there are three men named: Ryan Smyth, Paul Stastny, and Milan Hejduk, who are making art work out of the two hockey players success so far in the league.

Karl Fisch's did you know? PLN#2

In the short video called Did you know? I thought that it was very interesting to see all of the facts that I really didn't know about. I didn't Know all of the technical Ideas and how the there are so many different events going on around the world. It was crazy to see how technology is going to change, and get even more evolved in the future. This is going to affect the world around by, giving us a lot of interesting facts about the world around us. This video is a very good source of how all of the interesting facts that are told about the world and how it is important to know about these facts for the better. The way that this information will affect me for the better is, I will learn more about what is important to know for the future. What matters in this short video is all of the information that is being given to everyone who is watching the video and receiving all of the interesting information. The question that was asked at the end of the video was what does this all mean? This is really the ultimate question for everyone, not only the people of America, but everyone all across the world. The only answer that I have for this question is that change is going to happen no matter what. The video was most defiantly an interesting and unique presentation.
