Google SketchUp





Building this house was extremely difficult. i had a lot of problems, but watching the videos and asking people helped me through it. I thought that I wasn't going to be able to do it!

I was hard getting the roof just right. The porch columns gave me a little trouble, but that's about it.

I used materials and the whole program itself for the first time. It was a little difficult at first, but I eventually got it.

The tool that I found was really helpful was the eraser and the shape tool. They made making the house really easy.

Cyberbullying Ruins Lives

3. Do you know anyone who has been a victim of hurtful email messages or postings on a social networking site?

I don't know anyone

What do you think YOU should do if it happens to you or to someone you know?

I would tell an adult or a law enforcement officer and let them handle the situation. I wouldn't let it go on any longer. I would help the person get through the ordeal and help them get their life beck on the right track.

How could cyberbullying in this Massachusett's case have been prevented?

Cyberbullying could have been prevented if someone knew about it. If a friend knew what was going on, that friend could have told someone about it, then maybe she wouldn't have hang herself.

1. What do you think of when you hear the word “Cyberbullying?”

I think of people being hurt by words,websites, or posts on the internet. They are not physically harmed, but they are emotionally hurt and that can cause physical harm if the threats are brought to a higher level, like being told that they are going to kill that person. I think of how bad cyberbullying can be, and the harm it can cause.

2. How is Cyberbullying like being bullied in-person and how is it different?

It is like being bullied in person because their freinds could be the ones doing it. So if they say something mean on the internet, it is like it is being said in their face. It is different than being bullied in person. It is different because everyone on the internet can see it and will automatically believe that it is true, even though it may not be.

Dive Into Freedom

From the first moment we are revealed to the world, we are agreeing to live inside boxes, family rules, school works, work days, what not. Tie up for a better appearance. Walls put up. Held back. The boxes seem to contract more and more. But who or what laid these borders on us? What if we were just unaware and afraid of a completely new world beyond the borders? Jump up and down. Run from one end to the other with caring about nothing. You can do anything and you can be anything open your eyes and look into infinite possibilities. Cast off the fear, sprint toward the tip of the cliff and jump! You will know then the true definition of freedom....



...when you realize that you can explore all of the possibilities, knowing that you won't be restrained. You'll be able to experience tons of glorious possibilities.

The video makes me feel like I am able to do anything and be anything that I want to be. The video inspires me in many different ways.

The video's outcome was different. It was actually a TV commercial. My ending is completely different. I never would of thought that it wold end like that at all. It was a alright commercial. I got frustrated at the ending. That ruined the whole thing.
