"Having so much technology at your fingertips during class would not be useful to so many of use people would not give the proper attention to the lesson at hand and would zone out. A teacher cannot control what I do on my computer, if I wanted to…"

Emily Fujii commented on Matt Sievert's blog post Will racism ever go away?"I don't think that racism will every go away because there will always be in our world that think they are better than everyone else. People need to stop thinking that they're king of the world and come back down to Earth to see all the…"
Emily Fujii commented on Phil Schroeder's blog post The Simple Music"I really love when bands do acoustic versions of their album songs. I think that the acoustic sound makes the music sound different and you can really hear how the singer's voice sounds. I would most of the time always rather hear an acoustic…"
Emily Fujii commented on Alex Hepler's blog post Age Profiling."I think a lot of the stereotyping comes from those certain teenagers that decide to do bad things. People like that ruin it for all teenagers because the adults start to think that all teenagers are the same dangerous, crazy, and out of control. Not…"
Emily Fujii commented on Rachel Baum's blog post Do we really know what we're doing?"I think to start people should be more accepting of the mentally ill. That might make it easier for the people with the illness to accept treatment. As for the actual treatment itself, I think that all patients should have the choice of taking…"
Emily Fujii commented on Chloe Hipchen's blog post Litter Bugs of America"I can't stand litter bugs! It isn't that hard to walk a few steps to a trash can or wait a few minutes until you get home to throw something away. People are just plain lazy and ignorant. The litter bugs in the world need to realize that…"
Emily Fujii commented on Liz Dickerson's blog post What's going on in the world? No seriously, does anyone know??"I personally don't watch the news because I find it very repetitive with the same stories. I do think that people should be aware of major happenings in the world that directly effect us though. As US citizens I think we should know what our…"
Emily Fujii commented on John Miller's blog post The cycle of greed"I think that people should only buy things that they know they can pay back. If people don't buy just to buy our economy would be so much better than it is now. People just need to realize that they can't buy everything or anything that…"
Tara Koepke commented on Emily Fujii's blog post Architecture: Then and Now"There are some pretty crazy looking buildings out there! On a tour of Chicago one time, they were talking about how they were going to build a skyscraper taller than the Sears (or Willis) tower that is going to be in the shape of a spiral in the…"
Emily Fujii commented on Kevin Gosiewski's blog post The Media...Can't Live With Them, Can't Live Without Them"I definitely agree with you. The media needs to stop bothering celebrities because they are people just like us. They don't like having cameras shoved in their faces every second of the day or having their picture taken everytime they move. The…"
Emily Fujii commented on Tiffani Planes's blog post Growing Up"I really miss the old tv shows that were on when we were kids. The old shows were true kids shows not the fake stupid shows that are on now. Shows these days are just about kids being rebellious or profiling the life of someone rich. TV stations…"
Emily Fujii commented on Paige Daigle's blog post FOOD: What's going on?"Americans have the worst eating habits probably in the world. We aren't the only people to blame for our bad eating habits but mainly it's the fast food restaurants to blame. If there weren't so many greasy fast food places, I think…"
Emily Fujii commented on Sara Isaacs's blog post End of the Year Craziness!"I completely agree with this. Towards the end of the year it becomes impossible to focus when all you can think about is summer. I think that the teachers should lay off the last couple weeks with homework and just let us start preparing for finals…"
Emily Fujii commented on Kim Odom's blog post BP Oil Spill: DO SOMETHING!"The government definitely needs to speed things up. There are so many animals that are being harmed by the oil. People on the coast are also in danger too. Someone needs to find a way to get rid of the oil."
Gary Anderson left a comment for Emily Fujii"Emily -- I think your blog temporarily fell "between the pages" as I was working on them earlier today. It's up now. Sorry for the confusion."
Emily Fujii posted a blog postArchitecture: Then and Now
Recently, we've been studying the architecture of the wonderful city of Chicago. Our very own major city is the home to numerous famous and historical buildings. But what made those buildings so historic at the time? Was it their staggering heights or their new and unheard of materials or maybe even their new unique designs? These are all plausible reasons why the buildings of the past in Chicago are so historic. But, times have changes and so have buildings. Buildings of today are nothing like…See More

Emily Fujii left a comment for Gary Anderson"Hi Mr. Anderson!
You said that all of the blogs are either approved or received messages but my blog isn't approved and I didn't receive a message. When I look at my blog it says that it's still waiting for approval."
Emily Fujii commented on Matt Sievert's blog post College picking time"College is coming up so fast that we need every little bit of help we can get. I really like looking at those websites you suggested because both of them really tell you about the college itsself, making it easy to learn about the college. Looking…"
Emily Fujii replied to Alex Hepler's discussion Something that is worth sharing"Wow this painting is insane! This must have taken forever to paint. I really like how they spent time attaching links to each of the people in the painting. It lets the person looking at it to become involved in the painting. This painting is just…"

Paper-Free Schools?
Would you like the idea of only using your computer for homework and no worksheets? Well, it might not be long before this happens.This week we talked about the Progressive Movement and its goals. One of its goals is to foster efficiency or inventing new concepts to make society more efficient. I think that the Progressive Movement is very alive today. Many schools across the nation are taking action and making their schools paper-free. What is paper-…

What's up fellow ningers?! :D Happy New Year! Somehow I ended up on the Ning this morning. Don't know if Mr.Anderson and Mr.McCusker remember our American Studies class from 09-10. Great times. It doesn't seem like this Ning has continued on over the years. What happened?See More

Adam Babcock left a comment for Bridget Babcock"There are many options out there, but to standardize is to tell a lot of teachers to learn something new or unfamiliar... it's a tricky subject. That's why I'd love to start my own school, powered by Edmodo, Ning, etc :)"

Justyna Chlopecka posted a blog post9/11 Skylines and Turnstiles
I'm not usually someone who writes a lot , not publicly anyway but I do love to express my self through art, usually visual art but most of the time the art I make is influenced by something . In this case it's a song a written by one of my favorite musicians as a response to the feeling of horror and disbelief as he watched the Twin Towers in New York go from icons to ruins on 9/11/01. The song is sad,…See More
