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…"
Tara Koepke commented on Nick Klein's blog post Counterfeiting: An American Crisis"This is interesting because I never knew that counterfeiting is quite as common as it apparently is. It's weird to think that we could have easily used or exchanged a counterfeit bill. In my family history, I found out that some relatives found…"
Tara Koepke commented on Tom Meyer's blog post American Automobiles"It's interesting to look back on the history of transportation and see how far we've come! My family hasn't had much luck with American cars either, but we've been able to depend on our toyotas!"
Tara Koepke commented on Nikki Troia's blog post Is Facebook taking over our lives?"I think facebook is generally a good thing, as it keeps connections with old friends and such. It becomes problematic when people pour their lives into it and use it to replace personal interactions."
Tara Koepke commented on Vince Farella's blog post The Importance of Family"I think the most important part of family is knowing that no matter what you have them to back you up 100%. I have six brothers & sisters and honestly can't imagine my life without any one of them! I love having someone to lean on for…"
Tara Koepke commented on Kayla Rae's group Heard Any Good Music Lately?"I really like the song One Tribe by the Black Eyed Peas. I think it has a good message that discourages even the slightest thought of racism."
Tara Koepke joined Kayla Rae's group
Heard Any Good Music Lately?
There's groups for movies, books, and plays, but not music! So here's one. Feel free to write anything about music on here; new bands/artists you like, your favorite bands/artists, concerts you've gone to, or song recommendations! =]

Rookery inside
"This was by far my favorite building that I visited on the tour of the loop as well! I thought it was really interesting because when I was in there, I didn't get the impression that I was in a skyscraper. I also loved how they left one of the…"
Tara Koepke replied to Gary Anderson's discussion ART DECO & MODERN ARCHITECTURE"I really like the art deco style. I was in a couple antique shops this weekend and found art deco in lots of the old appliances and furniture that I looked at. I was proud to have some background about it and relate it back to what we learned in…"
Tara Koepke commented on melissa dipasquale's blog post what has t.v. done to society..."There are a lot of pointless TV shows with useless drama and no moral value. Like you said, many of the new shows that are on TV are counterproductive towards the goal they may be trying to get at. I think it's a really good idea to find an…"
Tara Koepke commented on Nina Kocko's blog post Skype It Up!"I love using Skype (and oovoo too!) I completely agree that video chatting is a much better way of developing social skills, rather then traditional online chatting! We even found a use for it in school!"

Chatroulette= creeper central?
In our society with the advanced technology that we have, most people have heard the buzz about chatroulette.com. Chat Roulette is an online video chat service that allows you to meet random people from all over on camera. You never know who you might meet; when you click play you may see someone from another country, or you may even see someone from the same school! This has the potential to be an awesome cultural experience, except for the fact that just anyone can be out… Continue

True or False? : America is filled with slobs
Is it just me, or have the standards for American behavior gone down? I feel like each time I go out I see more and more slobs who are out and about. But what can exactly be defined as a slob? Well technically, according to dictionary.com, a slob refers to "… Continue

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 :)"
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. "

"This amazing video has been removed from Youtube, but--at least temporarily--you can find it here."
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
