Good bye Apps2

1.I did not really know what to expect from this class but i think that this was my favorite class of the year so far and being able to experience the social media in a new light was a refreshing dose of reality.

2.I think out of all the projects and assignments we did the live tweeting had the most impact on me because it hit a basis with the younger generations and it was good to see people that weren't even in our class participating in the debate.

3.I think that this class is getting students ready for the real world because most things nowadays are paperless, job applications, letters (emails), and social interaction. This class is a great class to take if your in the 10, 11, or 12 because of the things you learn how to do and the different ways of communication and why they are important.

4.I think the fact that I can do more work on my computer than I use to and the time I had to do it was a big factor in making this class a great ASSET for anyone who wants to go to college.

5. I think that the seating could have been more close knit because we had a smaller class and there wasn't a lot of interaction between students. I think that if the desks were closer together than the discussions would have been more well discussed.

6. I think that you could have been more direct. Sometimes it seemed as if you were not addressing us directly  but you should start talking to certain people who need more help with their grades. You could address them directly for an answer to a question.

7. I would tell any freshman that asked to take Apps2 because it is a wonderful class to be in it just makes you happy to come into class and know that you’ll be doing something that you haven’t done before. Unlike math, English, or History this class is about whats new and whats important to “normal people” all around the world.

New Hampshire Primary

The New Hampshire Primary is the first in a series of nationwide political party primary elections held in the united states every four years, in choosing Democratic and Republican nominees for the Presidential elections.to be held in November. 


Right before the New Hampshire Primary Mitt Romney went through the second to last forum without being targeted by the other candidates. This makes me think that the other candidates know their need to eliminate each other because they are aware of Mitt Romney's Dominance over the other candidates. Romney was put on the defensive early on battling accusations of involvements of laying off workers at his old law firm.
Romney says " It always pains you to be in the process of a downsizing business."


Gingrich was asked about his attack ads towards Romney, he says " I haven't seen them by i think they are in bounds." Gingrich also says " I am for free enterprising." as if he was agreeing with opposing candidate Romney.


Closer towards the end of the debate Santorum attacks Romney by explaining why he is a better candidate for the GOP.


These are Santorum statements to why he is better GOP candidate than Romney. " We are looking for someone who can win this race, who can win this race on the economy  and on the core issues  of this- of this election. I was never for an individual mandate. I wasn't for the government run health care, i wasn't for the big bank of Wall Street, as Gov. Romney was. And I stood firm and worked actually."


I think that for any other candidates to advance they would need to take each other out and then find a way to single Romney out of the #1 spot.
