1. How is online learning different than in person learning?
What makes online learning different than in person learning is that online you can do things at your own time and do your work whenever you want to even if it's 2 o clock in the morning cause a lot of people are night people. Another plus to having online classes is that you can wear whatever you want and do work wherever you want. It can have some negative things to whenever you don't get something it's harder to ask for help then it would if you saw the teacher every week.
2. What are the particular challenges or benefits to taking and English class (in particular) in an online environment?
Again a challenge can be is getting help when you don't understand the assignment. That's what I totally have a problem with it's probably something I should have thought about before I took this class but you learn from your mistakes I guess. A benefit is you can do writing whenever something comes into your head when you don't have the assignment in front of you, you think about it more. That's something I did this last assignment it was always on my mind so I would write things down when I thought it and put it together when I actually sat down to write the paper.
3. Which of the technologies that we used this semester was most beneficial to you?
Technologies we used that benefited me is always my computer, I have learned a lot of things you can actually do with a computer that is really amazing to me. I think the whole webcam thing isn't me so I never use it, but I really like doing posters and the slideshow I made at the being of the semester.
4. Which did you like the most?
My favorite was the slideshow I made at the being it's cool to show people what really matters to me then just saying it. I always love showing off pictures of my nephews they make my life the greatest. Just can't wait to meet my niece next month that joy means everything to me.
5. Which will you use in the future and how will you use them?
The slideshow I use for all my classes I think taking this class and finding that site was the greatest thing. It's fun finding a new site that you never knew was around. 

Class review!

This semester I have learned that my opinion isn’t always needed in what I am writing, I need to find real fact to back what I am saying up. I have always found that hard but I am actually getting better at it I think well at least I am hoping. What I learned this semester will help a lot in future courses I just wish I would have learned it sooner.  It will also help a lot when I became a social worker because I have to write a lot of reports and you can’t give your opinion on that kind of stuff. You have to go out and get facts so you don’t change someone’s life forever.
The reading this semester was great I would never have read the books we did so I am glad I took this class. The book winter bone was my favorite. It’s nice to see a girl step up for her family when she is needed. A lot of kids go through this kind of situation and it’s not always easy for them. Wanting to be a social worker it’s really hard to see children having to go through this kind of situation but all Ree wanted was for her family to stay together and she did everything in her power to do so.
I have tried really hard to met the learning outcomes for this class, I have always judge myself on everything I do so sometimes when I think I am doing what I am suppose to be doing right I change it because I think I am doing it wrong. When we read stories like winter bone I totally understand the book, I understand every book I read it’s just hard to write what I am thinking. I honestly don’t think I have met the outcome because I just don’t know what is really asked of me.
I think it has changed somewhat whenever I am told I am doing something I shouldn’t be I change it. I know that I was writing my opinion on the stories I read so I changed that. I think the more practice you have at doing things you don’t understand the better your get so I hoping that I am getting better at writing. Passing this class is important to me and I am glad I took it to really understand writing.
My challenges in this class were writing I think I have explained it mostly in every paragraph I have wrote. I think everyone wonders why we really need some of the classes we do but this class I am glad I am taking it because I always have a hard time getting what I am saying across. A way I think I overcame my challenges is actually listening to things that I did wrong and fix them. I have found it always hard to take others advise because I thought they were always making fun of me. But some people are just trying to help and want you to do things better.

                                                           “Up in the Air”

            Our world has seen it’s hard times and it shows between books and movies being totally

different. In the book, “Up in the Air by Walter Kirn it’s a story about a businessman named

Ryan Bingham whose life is all about the air world, hotels, different cities and telling people

there fired. His main goal in his life is reaching the 10 million mile flier club only a few people

have done. He gave up things like friends and family to have this goal in life. Firing isn’t the

greatest job in life but he seemed to really enjoy what he did. The book took place when things

were mad in the world where sometimes business didn’t have the money to have people working

for them.

            The book version is more laid back and not really much happened. Being that the book

made way before the movie they made it simple they knew people would read it s being it was

about a man that loved to travel and really wanted that 10 million mile club. You would never

imagian that a guy would love his job as much as this guy that did things he did but in the book

he didn’t see that anything else was more rewarding. The author of the book shows this man that

has really nothing in his life being he never around long to have friends and he never sees his

family.

            The movie is more a more up beat can of story he was still do the air world, hotels,

different cites and telling people they are fired but he was also having a life with two different

women. The director of the movie version of the Up in the Air starring George Clooney is more

of a lively man but showing the effects that the world is facing now. George Clooney actually

had people in his life but when it came to him using his job because the world became more

advanced on how to fire people he was losing the one thing he loved. Not being able to get that

10 million mile mark was really hard on him it’s something he was working really hard for.

            This book and movie where showing the things that happen in the lives when they were

made.  Life was totally different at both times being when the book was made our economy was

bad and people were getting fired those things seem to be happening a lot. Also people take there

jobs more sincerely and don’t let friends and family get in the way of things. With the movie the

director wanted to play in more in what was happening when the movie was made. The man did

have people in this life but he was losing the one thing he loved because the world was becoming

more advanced. That actually found a way to fire people without others actually going there. 

"Up in the Air"

When watching the movie "Up in the Air" you can tell that they made the movie and the book totally different because in the book Ryan is kind of a loner but in the movie he has two girls that keeps him company. The director of the movie wanted to make what seemed to be a very boring guy in the book very lively in the movie so more people watch it. That's what all directors do so they get more people watching to get more money. I always thought that it ruined the book when you watched the movie but it was interesting seeing Ryan in a actually movie interested of image what he might be like. It was weird seeing him tell people there fired and to try to get them help to find another job. Some of they people I thought they would actually punch him in the face. The way Ryan lived was beyond crazy and don't think anyone love to live like that.

Check in!

Hi Mrs Cline I am doing my mid term check in. I have never been the greatest writing and honestly if I didn't have to take this class I wouldn't cause writing scares me. I have tried really hard this semester to work really hard and understand what is need of me. I will say it's been hard but I am always willing to try. What I am hoping for the rest of the semester is try really hard to still figure out the whole writing thing. I wish I was as good of a writer like some of the people in the class it would be a lot easier. The reading in the class has been really good I have liked everything we have read and it's something I would tell other people to read. Literary Analysis is a totally different thing I have done, we never did it in high school so when I first did it, it was totally new to me. I wish that my teacher before would have shown us how to do these because it would have been better and I wouldn't think I totally suck at this. Winter's Bone was my favorite story that I have read in a long time, I think it was really sad that these children had to go through something like they did but it was interesting to read. I have known that drugs do bad things to family because I have never meet my uncles because of it so it can tie people apart. Life is never simple so doing this class I knew it wasn't going to be simple and I really want to pass it because i need it for my degree and also I would feel I accomplish something I thought I couldn't.
