Nikki Troia commented on Katy Christensen's blog post The Art of Teaching"I totally agree, I hate sitting in a class where I dont like the teacher because they have a bad attitude or just lecture us for the whole period. I think teachers should make things interactive and not just have us sitting at our desks."

Katy Christensen commented on Alex Hepler's blog post Age Profiling."Okay/ I do think that some people are less tolerant of teenagers, but I don't know if I agree with this whole police thing.

Katy Christensen commented on Nikki Troia's blog post Is Facebook taking over our lives?"I agree with the status updates. I mean yeah I update my status (not gunna lie) but only like once a week or so. I HATE when people have to put their life stories, all their emotions, and a recap of their night as their statuses. And also all their…"
Katy Christensen commented on Matt Sievert's blog post Will racism ever go away?"Matt, I agree with you about race not even mattering.

Katy Christensen commented on catherine betti's blog post Drugs On The Rise?"I definately haven't heard that!

Maia Kirch commented on Katy Christensen's blog post The Art of Teaching"The way teachers teach is something extremely important.

The Art of Teaching
I think we can all agree that there are a lot of factors that contribute to what we've gotten out of high school so far. I have noticed that teachers are a huge one. When I graduate college, I want to be a high school Family and Consumer teacher for preschool, so I pay attention to different teaching styles and things that I think would help me to be a good teacher.

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea...American Studies?
I guess you could say that in our generation, tv is a main factor in our lives. It's our main source of world news and its even a way to relax. A lot of people say that watching too much tv can "rot" a childs brain, but I have found that you can actually learn from some cartoons I have watched.

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
Rachel Izydorek posted a status"randomly thought about the ning today... every once in awhile i miss high school and how much simpler life was."
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 :)"
Bridget Babcock left a comment for Adam Babcock"I'm overloaded with social networking for school. They should make something exclusively for high school. Million dollar idea right there. Consolidate and simplify. "

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 .

The song is sad,…See More
