Twitter can help teachers and students learn and stay connected. Twitter can update students on upcoming tests, homework, and much more. Simply by typing a message and pressing tweet everyone can find out whats going on. Updates on event and programs can also be tweeted. The only bad outcome from using this program is the responses. Pictures and videos could be added to help students visualize whats going on. This could be a great program to use in schools.

A great person once said "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." ~Mahatma Gandhi. Many people complain about not having things the way they want. This quote means to step up and change the things you want to be changed. Give back to your community and help out others. You can participate in food drives and even donating to others. This is a great quote and it is still used today even though times have changed.

Devastation in Philippines

After hearing about the typhoon in the Philippines changed my way of looking at life. I felt very  devastated when i heard the news.

Saving Lives

You have been chosen to wear an invisible cloak for 1 day to perform a good deed and become the unknown/unrecognized hero! What good deed will you do? Without using any real names (you can make up names), blog at least 2 paragraphs about your day being invisible. All posts must be school appropriate.

Good deeds can be shown or done in a countless amount of ways. In my opinion getting recognized for doing a good deed should not be what doing good deeds is about. Knowing that you helped someone should be more then enough gratitude, I try to help people at least once a day. From holding doors to explaining a problem in math class without anything in return.

If i was chosen to wear an invisible cloak for 1 day I would chose to do good deeds all day. I would wait by busy intersections all day long. you never know if a car comes unexpectedly, i could be able to pull someone back to the sidewalk if a car was coming. Being invisible would not bother me because i would not anything in return. Just knowing i helped or even saved someones life is enough for me.

Wood-Ridge high school has many classes that teach students many different things. Although we have a great school program we can still add more classes to our curriculum. One of the classes I would enjoy having would be Auto Mechanic .Students who take this course would learn a sorts of techniques on changed parts of cars and more. The class could meet at garage off campus near the apartments by Moonachie. It could be a great learning experience for many of the students and they can use this class later on in life.

The class would be a year long and would meet during school hours. Students will learn how to change tires, do oil changes, change exhaust systems, and much much more. As a final for this class you will have to take a car a and change the following parts that ask being asked to change. Changing parts is not all that is going to be done. Classes will be able to go on field trips to dealer ships and shops to see how people work on cars in real life. I know i can get a lot out of this class and so will many other students hopefully in the future our High school developes a program like this.

My Favorite Class

My favorite class this year is defiantly chemistry. Im excited to learn more about formulas and labs. The main reason I like this class so much is because of my favorite teacher, Mrs. Popowich. She takes the time to explain everything and wont continue until everyone understands. I learn new things every day and we just started school. I am very excited to see what kind of experiments and other fun things we will do during the year.

Knowing chemistry can help you so much in life. Chemistry is more then just blowing things up. I know by the end of the year I will learn things I would have never imagined I would learn. Although i loved science my whole life, this years chemistry experience has to do with one person. Mrs Popowich is a very nice person. She always teaches things in a certain way where everyone will learn it. She has a lot of experience so I know I am getting the best education i can.

Mrs. Popowich earned her BS in chemistry at Montclair State. She later returned for her MA in supervision and in MEd in Science Education. With over 20 years or experience Mrs. Popowich is a great teacher. I am so lucky to have her this year and i cant wait to see what the rest of the year holds in her class.  

My name is Matt and I work at a pizzeria across the street from the high school. I also play soccer for our new Wood-Ridge soccer team.
