Change in setting

Technology has changed our world, it Has change education and students are great beneficiaries. Technology has changed the classroom setting by making work easier and faster. Students can access things easier such as online books and worksheet. Notes in class can be transcribed faster as the ability to use laptop and iPad allows student to write proficient and save their hand....oops and the earth.
With technology, student learn to intertwine education and technology together. A noteworthy example is our present blogging assignment. We not only learn to express our opinions, but also prepare the way for future observers to understand the youth of this time.

Feeding the Community

Congratulations for making it through the previous year. You’re all winners in this amazing race TRUST ME!

One thing that I hold dearly and love to do as a hobby is helping out my community. I make the effort to give my time and resources.
 I volunteered during church health clinic where in a church provided free health tests, donations, and seminars for different groups in my community. 
On December 31, 2011, I was involved in a program called Feeding the Community held by my local church. 
An anonymous individual had donated a thousand dollars for us to do this. 
Although we had a limited amount of money for a limited number, we decided that we would bless some families in the working class. 
These were the individuals who didn’t belong to shelters, but struggled all the same. We passed out Publix gift cards to these families.   
An influencing factor to our decision was the story of a mother who shot herself and her two children after she lost her job and was denied food stamps by the government.
I realized that most people forget that group. 
 I really enjoyed what I did and made that I brought friends and family to share this experience.
