Kelly Breen commented on Nina Kocko's blog post Skype It Up!"I love skype! It is so much fun. Even if you are just doing homework with someone that lives 10 minuets away or talking to someone in a different state that you havent seen in forever. I think it is a wonderful thing. My cousin had a baby and she…"
Philip Thomas commented on Nina Kocko's blog post Skype It Up!"Skype is an amazing thing. My family is spread out across the country, and I can't always go out and see them whenever I want, so Skype offers a way to interact with them and sort of feel like I'm with them. I can also talk…"
Shazia Rangwala replied to Nina Kocko's discussion The Blind Side in the group Seen a Good Movie Lately?"Sandra Bullock has done great justice to her role in the movie but lets face facts, its not posssible in todays world. to give a stranger a ride and then let him stay at your house! I get that this is a true story but most of us do…"
Jack Andersen replied to Nina Kocko's discussion The Blind Side in the group Seen a Good Movie Lately?"This movie was really awesome. I remember watching it and not being able to believe that he was a teenage kid that lived on the streets. And he got a full ride scholarship for football, and then made it to the NFL. I did hear that Michael Ohr was…"
Kaity Drahos commented on Nina Kocko's blog post Skype It Up!"Gotta admit, I'm a huge fan of Skype. I have lots of friends that have now gone off to college, and my sister, too. I have to admit, I didn't think I'd miss my sister, but I do. I skype with her on a weekly basis, and I'm so glad…"
Bianca Cerna replied to Nina Kocko's discussion The Blind Side in the group Seen a Good Movie Lately?"This movie is pretty close to being my favorite. it's pretty cool to think that it's a true story and that a women took in a complete stranger. She stuck up for him when society was judging him and his race. The blind side would be one of…"
Haley Bohl commented on Nina Kocko's blog post Skype It Up!"I love using skype. When my sister left for college we used to skype everyday because she was my best friend and so far away!

Darby Douglas commented on Nina Kocko's blog post Skype It Up!"A lot of my friends are already off to college now and facebook is never good enough when I want a conversation with my old friends.

Lauren Olson commented on Nina Kocko's blog post Skype It Up!"My friends' sister lives in China and uses Skype all the time.

Jack Andersen commented on Nina Kocko's blog post Skype It Up!"My sister just left to go to college at the University of Marquette, and Skype helps us keep in touch. All of family has it including cousins, aunts and uncles. We use it all the time to stay in touch with her while she's gone."

Nina Kocko commented on Gary Anderson's blog post UP FRONT OPINIONS: Why Do Some Students Get a Bonus for Earning D's?"I think it is completely fair because the students who are willing to challenge themselves in high school with college level courses are sacrificing so much more because of the intensity and difficulty of the class, as well as the greater homework…"
Nina Kocko commented on Jacek Cioch's blog post Does privacy still exist?"I think everyone knows that Facebook is just a big creepfest where everyone knows everything about everyone else. The information you choose to put up and share with the public (and i mean public as in the entire mother earth) is all on you and you…"
Nate Hanks commented on Nina Kocko's blog post Skype It Up!"not everybody has a webcam, and i think i heard somewhere that communication is 90% NON-verbal"
Nina Kocko commented on Alex Hepler's blog post Age Profiling."The stereotyping that the po-po go by is from what they have heard about some teenagers, but only the really serious cases. I don't think its fair that they spread that stereotypical view to others just because of one policeman's bad…"
Nina Kocko commented on Corinne Chapman's blog post Inappropriate for 7 year-olds?"Although these girls were amazing dancers, I agree that their outfits should have been less exposing because of their extremely young age."

Skype It Up!
The majority agree that technology is taking over our world with constant new breakthroughs and inventions. Walking down the streets of Chicago and even just in our own Fremdland, it is very common to see people and students walking around listening to the iPods and using their cell phones(shh!).

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 .

The song is sad,…See More
