1. Of all the things we've done this year. which are the most useful and important up to this point?
Of all of the things that I have learned this year I think that Microtype and Excel were the most useful. If I hadn't done microtype I wouldn't have learned how to become computer literate. I would never be able to keep up with you or the rest of the class. I would always be left behind. I found Excel very useful because it teaches you to be organized. You can lay out your whole financial plan on it so you won't ever be out of money when you are an adult and out in the real world.
2. What do you WANT to learn about computers in the last 9 weeks?
In the last 9 weeks I would like to learn a little more about computer animation. We did flash, but that was only the basics of computer animation. I think that it is cool how people can make cartoon characters and make them move also.

More video games, fewer books at schools?
It seems that fewer amounts of kids want to learn at school. Some adults think that video games should be added at schools because video games can present real-life problems to solve, and most kids are addicted to them. They are thinking of adding video games that are fun and educational, and not games like Doom or Mortal Kombat. They think that video games should be added that have to deal with businesses, money or the environment. They think that video games will inspire kids to turn to books and learn.

Business Ethics
1. Was the developers behavior ethical?
No the developers behavior wasn't ethical because I don't think that it is right for them to an old lady into selling her underwater land to them. Then the developers try to sell her land for more then ten times the amount that they paid her.
1a. How can this be avoided in the future?
To be completely honest I don't think that this can be avoided in the future because people are always going to be hoodwinking other people to get them to do what they want. One thing the lady could have done was get a estimate of how much the property costed before she decides to sell it.

I think that it is a good idea because it tells you your finances and how much money you have spent. I would use it because it would probably help learn how to handle money. I could keep track of all of my expenses without overspending. Using buxfer.com is kind of like balancing a bank account.

Movie Review
One of my favorite movies is The Pursuit of Happyness. It is about this guy named Christopher Gardner who was having a hard time finding a real job. Will Smith and his son play the main characters in the movie. Chris's wife leaves him because she is not happy and because they aren't making enough money. So he takes custody of their son.
Chris is being trained to become a stock brocker, and him and his son have to struggle while he is training because they are know homeless. Chris lost his home, and his money because the government took it from his bank account so that they can pay his taxes. After months of struggling on the streets Chris gets the job as a stock brocker, and finally finds a way for him and his son to survive.
This movie has a go for your dreams message, but the deepest message of all is family. I highly recommend that you see this movie.

Make Learning more fun
I would change the grading system. If you get 50% or lower you get an F. I would make it so that at every 20% you go down you get a different letter grade. If you get 50% you would get a C instead of an F. Students would be less worried about percents, and be more worried about just learning.
