    Are we as human beings really ready/prepared to step into the future of education. I am not sure if I think it is such a good idea to start to rely on the future of technology as our basis curriculum for our classes. Yes technology has its advantages, but it has many disadvantages that go along with it. I am in between sides personally. I enjoy using technology more, but it also is less reliable then paper. There are very few things that can ruin a paper like a shredder, or maybe your dog eats it, but thats pretty much it. Its different for technology because there are many different viruses on the web and wireless internets that only work 1/2 the time. I would prefer to blog more then writing my ideas out on paper anytime, but it is never fully trustable. It has probably been about 2 weeks since I have been able to access my learner blogs from school, and that hurts my school work because I need to use my blog all the time in class. Since I have started using this new site it hasn't been the "best" second source of blog writing. My very first post I took me 5 tries to post it with continuous errors. 

    I went to the freshman orientation for the high school I am attending next year, a few weeks ago. The orientation began with a speech from the principal. I wasn't acting interested or paying attention through most of the speech. Then he began to start about technology and the advances the school will be making next year. He said that they plan on having a laptop per student next year. That is crazy, that is about 1000 laptops. I don't know if I want my education to ride on whether or not my laptop is going to work today. I don't know though. It sounds really cool and a great way to move into the future. I just don't know if we are ready to do that yet. I think we might need to discover some ways to rid of viruses and faulty internet companies so that we can be positive that our computers will be working every day. So what do we do now? Do we stick in the boring old past of pen and paper, or do we go big or go home and try to advance into the risky future? Please respond to this post. 

    The Cresthill A and B basketbal teams this year rock. We have only playyed one game, but we both won, so it doesn't matter we are still the best. The Cresthill A team won our game against Sierra by 20 points. That is a great imrpvement from last year when we lost to them in the regular season by 1 point. Everyone on the team was meshing together so well. We were making great passes, taking good shots, and finishing everything we did… Really Well. The B team held it a little closer dring the game, but they still came out on top in the end. They won there game by 4 points with some great free trows to finish the game.  Some of the key players yesterday inlcuded, everyone. We were all amazing yesterday.  Everyone was playign so well together. If you would have seen us in practice, we would have looked like we would loe all of our games. We were all hoging the ball for ourselves and making bad team decisions. I think it was just some simple nerves that we were able to get over. Our game yesterday wasn't about being the best player for any one person, It was about being the best team in the school league. Sierra used to be number one.As long as we continue to play like the team we did to Sierra we will be #1.
