== Welcome to my 6th-8th Grade Technology Portfolio. This is a place that I will upload my technology projects, and reflect on my learning with technology. == === My favorite thing about working on the computer is....... being able to look up anything I want and there will almost every time be an answer or something that will help me. ===

My favorite subject in school is....Social Studies,Science and Band because all three of the teachers make it FUN to learn!
=== When I grow up I want to be.... a teacher or a fashion designer because....... I would love to get summer vacation off and because I would like to help kids learn! I would love to be a fashion designer because I love clothes and I think it would be fun to design them! ===

== Assignment Description: == == For our Cyber Bullying brochure you had to gather a bunch of information on the topic which was Cyber Bullying and then had to describe the information in paragraphs. You also needed to post different pictures about Cyber Bullying to make it look more interesting! ==

One thing I would change in this project:
== I would like to be able to blend the colors of the text box that you inserted and blend it with the rest of the background. Instead of just trying to blend it the best you can but still being able to see the differences! ==

After doing this project I know how to first add a text box and I also know how to again, change the colors of the backgrounds! I also learned how to put a picture on the brochure!

Project Four: Internet Safety
== Let me start out by saying that I learned a TON about the iPad and also about internet safety! Some of the things that I learned about internet safety is for example all about Identity Theft! Two facts that I learned about it was...if you notice that you are no longer recieving bills, that does not mean that the theft has stopped, it could just mean that the theft has sent your bills to another address or another place! The second fact that I learned is...if the stolen information includes your Social Security Number, you can place an "intial fraud alert" by calling one of the three nationwide consumer reporting companies! Some things that I learned about the iPad was...how to actually tape somebody doing a video! Another thing that I learned was...how to upload a video on to You Tube! Those are some of the things I learned while I was on the iPad and what I learned about internet safety! ==
