Decision Making Software

I currently use a few software's to help me make decisions.  First of all I use Gullnet to help me make choices about what classes I want to take.  Gullnet allows me to look up all the classes that are offered at Salisbury as well as all the different professors that teach them and the different times that they're available.  I also occasionally use the software Windows Live Movie Maker on projects for my own pleasure.  This software lets me put video clips from my camera and cut them and make cool little movies.  I am also able to add sound to them.   

Plagiarism in College

The use of technology has been an important part in catching people who like to plagiarize because now teachers can go online an see where kids are getting their information from.

Some ways colleges are trying to stop it is to have honor codes where kids sign to not plagiarize, but it's still not helping to much.

Ethics in My Life

When i was in high school, I was in the National Honor Society.  I was also on the football team.  The NHS meetings were always after school and would run for about 45 minutes.  My football practice was also after school.  A few football players and I would always come out a few minutes late because of this.  One time the kids asked me if I want to go to Burger King and skip half of practice.  I knew this was a bad idea so I told them I was going to go to practice.  I'm glad I made that decision because now when I get faced with tough decisions like that, I always chose the right thing.

Our Failing Education System

   There are many things that people will find online about how our school systems are failing the students. I personally think that the schools are babying the kids.They aren't trying to push the students to learn more things, they are just learning the basic things.

   I think if teachers start teaching kids extra things, our school systems will make a big time improvement.
