My Personal Life

* My favorite part of PE is…
When we get to play games that makes me sweat and work. I also like it when I can participate because some games the guys get pretty dominant. I get to move around instead sitting in a chair for an hour and a half.


*I think my current current level of fitness is…

Ok. I can probably jog for 5 minutes straight. I haven't done any major physical work over the past semester. However, my level of fitness will improve as semester 2 goes by.


*My previous personal best beep test is...
I'm pretty proud of this level because I never expect myself to reach this level. I would like to beat this level to maybe 7 or 8.

*I am currently doing the following things to be active (outside of PE)…
I walk home to school which takes me about 30 minutes to reach my house. I take Arnis (martial arts) for 2 hours, every Saturday.


*Things that PHYSICALLY prevent me from doing exercise (i.e. medical, injury)

I don't have any medical conditions but the only thing that is preventing me from exercising is my brother. I have to take care of him after school.

*Things that MENTALLY prevent me from doing exercise (i.e. energy, time)
The time prevents me from doing exercise. I also have other subjects that I have homework to do.i
*My eating habits are…
Pretty good. Sometimes when you're watching tv you want something to munch on while watching, I avoid that. We have salad ingredients in our fridge, so if I have nothing to eat, I'll prepare myself salad. I eat breakfast almost every morning, but if I'm running late for school I don't have time to eat. I bring my own food to school.mi stopped eating at the cafeteria last year in gr.9. For dinner, out meal pretty much always have some kind of vegetable, meat product, and grain.

*I Want to be able to learn more about
How did the people discover milk?

*I want to improve my abilities in…
 My running and stamina.



*Outside school activities I’d like to try are...
Basketball, dance, gun range.

*My fitness goals for the semester are…

How to be a great Digital citizen.

What is Digital citizenship?

Digital citizenship is about how to understand and use the technology properly. It helps and teaches students/technology users, what responsibility they have when they use technology. In modern day, we see a lot of people misusing and abusing technology and not know what the consciences are. It is important to know how to use technology and not abuse it.

Too Much Information and Plagiarism 

Once people hit publish, post, or send , etc., any button that will publish anything, even this poster, to the public for everyone to see, it would stay there forever. Today, people answer anything without conscious, for example, the question, "Where do you live?" They would answer this personal question without thinking that people can have access to their information. If its on the internet, then it's not as private as people think.

However today, social networks offers privacy. But just because they have a private account doesn't mean no one can access it. Expert hackers with no good intensions can hack through the private account. So even though its private, don't put too much information. Hackers can now access webcams either on a laptop or desktop. They can film the person on the computer and also, can get information just from watching two people Skype each other.

There is a lot of laws when it comes to the world of technology and internet. One big thing is plagiarism. Plagiarism is when a person takes someone else's work or idea's and passing it their own. A person can be in serious troouble when caught plagiarising. If a student is caught, their future is basically on the line. At a young age, they might already have a criminal record. It would get harder to get a job or get into college or univeristy. Whatever you got in the internet, always adress where the information came from.

The Nine Elements


  1. Digital Access: full electronic participation in society.
  2. Digital Commerce: electronic buying and sellingof goods.
  3. Digital Communication: electronic exchange of information.
  4. Digital Literacy: process of teaching and learning about technology and the use of it.
  5. Digital Etiquette: electronic standards of conduct or procedure.
  6. Digital Law: electronic responsibility for actions and deeds.
  7. Digital Rights & Responsibilities: those freedom extended to everyone in the digital world
  8. Digital Health & Wellness: physical and phycological well being in a digital techonology world.
Digital Security: electronic precaution to guarantee safety.
Ways to be a great Digital Citizen 


  1. Think before you post: Like I have stated before, everything is not private. So before posting any pictures or answering any personal question think, "is this too much information?" Keep in mind that once it's posted, it stays there forever. 
  2. Don't copy anything without adressing: Plagiarism is taken seriously now a days. If caught a person can be criminaly charge. So if you are posting or writing anything, always adress where you got the information. Its better to adress where you got the information rather than have a criminal record. 
  3. Privacy: Social Network offers privacy now. Always have the privacy active. Even though hackers can still hack it, at least they'll have a difficult time. Also, even though you have the privacy setting on, still don't put too much information.
  4. Warn others: Don't just keep important information about the web world, warn others on what the consequences. Tell and share what you know and what to look out for. 
  5. Against the Law: Never use technology for all the wrong reasons. In our modern world, technology is easy to track, it leaves digital footprints. Once caught, authorities can give hard verdicts, and an expensive fine.
