Hello Leaf Fans!!
After viewing this video, what are your thoughts about personal "news"?
Should news be left for professionals to deliver to the world or should we be allowed to publish it ourselves?
Do you think that news should have a bias?
Do you think the professionals who process and interpret the news, have a bias?
Go visit your classmates blogs and comment on their answers to these questions. You might choose to agree or disagree with them.

Computers 9-10


Hello Leaf Fans!!

Today I would like you guys to find and interesting way to make people want to visit your blog.

For example you could upload a couple music videos and have people vote on a poll which was their favorite song!

Maybe you could pick an interesting news headline and ask people of their opinion.
I just heard on the news that a lion attacked its owner during a preformance in Vegas. You could ask things like should lions really be tamed? You could also add a link to the news cast or videos.
