Hey everyone,                                                                                                                     As this blog is about technology, I am going to talk to you about the new iPhone 4S. It was launched 3 days ago, and today, Apple announced that they sold four million. This is actually a lot for just one weekend. They also said that it is double the sales of the iPhone 4 is its first 3 days. Also,Apple just announced that 25 million people are already using iOS 5 and over 20 million have signed up for iCloud.This is actually incredible. What is also being said is that the phone will be available in 22 more countries starting from October 28. That's great :)                           Baheya Mansi 
 
Hello everyone,
This week, we set up the computers in the lab. Everything is different in this lab, the desks are rearranged in the middle and the sides. The teacher desks is now the left side of the room and the white board is the front. This is way better than before. The computers are really nice, the monitors are big and nice, the case is tiny and and extremely light. Everyone is really excited to play with the computers. Today during class we are playing games and and tomorrow we are going to start the new project. We also have to do 5 blogs.
 
Yesterday afetr school they filmed the video announcements. They were really good and they did it really quickly. I find it a very good idea because it is much more entertainming that usual ones we used to have last year. Hania and Mr. Chrisitie are doind a great tring to improve everything. Soon, they are going to get a green scree and it is going to be really cool. Today during class, we are going to set up the new computers, everyone is so excited about it. Also the google Docs project is due today. I actually ejoyed this project and I think I am going to use it in the future for other classes.

Hello,
This week we started doing video announcements. They are going to be aired once a week. This week, Nadim and Mounzer were the reporters and Hania was the editor. They were really nice, especially because they are only 30 seconds. They will not take time from class. They are going to be using green screen. Next week, I want to join them while editing them. It is going to be really fun because we add backgrounds. This class, we are continuing to work on the google docs. This assignment is really hard.

Today I read an article from a website called Fast celebrity gossip. This article was talking about Angelina Jolie and Brat Pitt and that they donated a huge amount of money to Somali aid group. Angelina was recently recognized as the UN goodwill ambassador. They both donated 340,000 dollars to Humanitarian Initiative Just Relief Aid. This money goes to healthcare for homeless children in Somalia. This country is actually known for famine, and all the people are suffering from this. 29,000 children died under the age of five. She said that Somali helped her be a better mom and person. She has been in this thing since 2001. On October 3rd, she honored a Yemeni aid group. I think what she did was extremely good because this money could actually save a lot of people's lives.             Thank you
 
Hello,
Week 6 started today and we have 3 more weeks for the first quarter. This week's assignment is to right 5 blogs, 2 about technology, 1 about a google reader and 2 about any other things. This week's assignment in Tech class is to play around with google docs. It is so cool because it is like word but online, we can write an essay in a group, like we can comment, chat, change and discuss what we are going to write, when everyone is alone. We don't need to be in the same place to write it. In a group of 3, we are going to write an essay but we still don't know what it is going to be about. It is also helpful if we are going to submit a paper to a teacher without using an email or anything, we just need to share it with the teacher. Also, today was the first video announcement,
 
Hello,
Yesterday, everyone was waiting for the new iPhone 5 with all the amazing features( laser keyboard...). Many people were disappointed when they announced that there is not going to be an iPhone 5 but an iPhone 4 S. It so like the normal iPhone 4, they practically the same features. No one liked it, there was a drop in the shares, it wasn't major but it was obvious.  Apple also announced the new iPod touch, I think it is not that different from the other one but it is white. It costs 199 dollars.The new iPod nano is also out. It has different, new and cool colors: orange, silver, green, blue and pink,a

Today is a short today, we have a class meeting to discuss what we are going to in fall festival. Our class has the idea of doing to pool dunk and smores and we are going to have a chocolate fountain. We also have the idea of " Make your own cupcake". I think it is going to be fun and I want to be in the pool because I think it we are going to have fun. Today we are going to decide which ones we are going to do. I am really excited to work on this. It is probably going to be on the 20th. I will post later our decision and what we did in the meeting.
I also read an article today about new music. Moves like Jagger came first in the top 100 list, then Someone like by Adele, and Stereo hearts came 5th.

 
Hello,
I hope everything is okay.
Yesterday was our MUN meeting in lunch, it was a brief and helpful meeting. Mrs Smith talked about the conference and gave us a book which will guide us on what to do when we get there and how to be prepared in order to be organized and know what we are doing in the conference. Then, she told us to read about the committees and try to decide which ones we like the most in the order of preferences. Yesterday I also read about the country we are representing, which is Latvia, and I realized it is actually a big country and it requires a lot of work. Today, I gave her my list and soon she will tell us for sure in which committee we are going to be. We are going to travel from 15 November till 19th. I hope we are going to have fun there and I am going t
