1. If you could only use one piece of personal technology, what would it be? (cell phone, PC, iPad, other?) Please give reasons for your choice.

If I could use only one piece of personal technology it would be my iPhone because i can call with it, play games on it or download games, listen to music, go on safari, go on youtube, see my emails, and skype.

If I could only use one piece of personal technology it would be my iphone because i can call or skype with it, play games or download games from app store, go on safari and youtube, and listen to music. It's like a mini, portable computer on the go.

If I could pick any piece of technology it would probably be my phone because I still will have the capabilty to call me and the use of the internet.

If I can only use one piece of technology, it would be a cell phone because there are many different ways to use your phone. You can use it to call your parents, friends, and neighbors. You can also use a phone when your bored or ask what your homework was yesterday.

I choose the ipad Because you can play games, use the internet, and you can communicate all in one device.

Grace Chae
8/16/2011 06:42:50 am

I would choose a cell phone because if I need help I could call a teacher or if I have a emergency I could call with the cell phone.

I would choose the ipad because you can play game's, use the internet, check youre email, and communicate with other's.

If I could carry one piece of technology, I would a smartphone because Internet is always available and I don't need to carry other heavy items. Also, a smartphone is small enough to fit in my pocket.

Ally Hong
8/16/2011 07:48:12 am

If I could use one piece of technology, it would be a laptop. Laptops are easy to carry around and they contain many bits of information. With a laptop, you can type and print your assignments and use websites to help you in your assignment (or test).

If I had to choose one personal technology, I would choose a cell phone because its portable and you can chat with friends and family members anytime you want. You can also play games on cell phones.

Joey Lenz
8/16/2011 07:56:46 am

I would use an ipad so I could communicate with others, keep up with current events, and play educational/logic games. With the ipad I would have instant access to the world. For example I could use a GPS app to help find my way around the city. At the same time I could follow my favorite basketball team. Go Celtics!

If I could only use one piece of personal technology, it would probably be my cell phone because I can use it to call for emergencies, or just to talk to my friends and any family members. I also think that having a cell phone with you at all times is important because you would never know what might be going on.

Marcela 8th
8/16/2011 08:10:20 am

If I had to choose one piece of personal technology, I would choose a cell phone. Modern day phones can do anything: listen to music, check email, serf the internet, call and text others, and video chat. It's endless. Another reason for my choice is that they are portable. You can't always carry a laptop around.

Isabella Gordon
8/16/2011 08:34:41 am

I would choose PC because you can do everything on it, like order food and clothing - which are nessecities - and you cannot do that on the Nintendo DS, or other handheld electronics. With PC, you can also surf the internet and play games or download music. You can't do this with handheld electronics (unless it is an iPhone or iPad, but a lot of people don't have that technology or can't afford it). You can do practically anything on the PC, including order more electronics! :D

M.Yu
8/16/2011 08:39:03 am

I would take a PC with internet connection because there are way more things you can use a PC for. For example, a cell phone would only allow you to call, text, and take pictures. But, a PC would allow you to go on the internet and do research, play games, and chat/communicate with friends on social networks.

C. Chapman
8/16/2011 08:44:00 am

If i could choose any piece of personal technology I would choose a PC with internet connection. The reason for this is that with a PC you can both communicate with other people and have fun and play games. The reason I would choose a PC over a cell phone is that with a cell phone you can't really play different games and without a cellular tower near you a cell phone is basically useless.

Daniel Cho

I personaly like the IPOD Touch becuase its portable. You get to surf the web and you get to do many crucial things by surfing the web, hearing music, playing fun and exiciting games, and its more faster to look up for words. Even though, you can't use Microsoft Word. Excel, and Powerpoint it's very beneficial to the society

Daniel Cho
8/16/2011 08:55:37 am

I personally like to use the IPOD Touch becuase its portable. You get to play so much fun games, surf the web, and listen to music. Even though, you can't use Microsoft Word, Excel, or Powerpoint it still beneficial to the society or maybe the entire world.

I personally like to use the Ipad becuase its big and thick. Its portable nad beneficial to us and the entire world. THere is so much benefit to this by surfing the web, playing games, and espically hearing music. I'm hundred percent that there is one app similar to Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint

Joseph Esteves

I would rather use a cell phone because I can call a lot of people. Specially in case of emergencies.

Jamie Baeg
8/16/2011 09:16:07 am

My choice would be a cell phone mainly because of its usefulness and portability. A phone is smaller than laptop or iPad and easier to carry around. A phone can also go on the Internet like a laptop and an iPad. Unlike a laptop or an iPad, a cell phone allows you to call or text friends, so you can stay connected.

Paul Shim
8/16/2011 09:45:02 am

If I could only use one piece of personal technology I would choose my cell phone. I chose my phone because these days our phones have become more advanced. For example, our phones can access the internet, watch television, and video call.

James Bauman

My iPod touch. I would've died of boredom if I hadn't gotten it a year ago.

Ethan Bonilla
8/16/2011 10:15:16 am

If I could only use one piece of personal technolygy it would be the iPhone or any simple cellphone because, if a serious emergency happened at school, I could just call my house and tell them what's going on.

IM JONATHAN CHAE
It would probably be the ipad because with the ipad you can use it as a phone(face chat) and you can also use it as a computer as well with the safari app.

Anthony David
8/16/2011 12:20:23 pm

I would take a cellphone beacuse I could contact my family and in a emergency I could get help.

Grace Chae
8/16/2011 12:22:20 pm

I would pick a cell phone because a cell phone could help you call a teacher for help or use it for emergencys.

Bryon Kim
8/16/2011 12:30:26 pm

I would choose the Ipad 2 because i can make calls and face chat with friends while going on the internet. With the Ipad i can take it anywhere and it does the work of a computer, Ipod, a cellphone, and a camera. Another reason i would choose the Ipad 2 over the others is becaus the touch screen feature, it is not like other touch screen technology it takes the heat of your finger instead of pressure. Also there is the application app that has games for entertainmant. This is the reason I would choose the Ipad 2.

Hamish muir
8/16/2011 12:32:44 pm

i would choose the ipad because you can use it to access the internet, play great games, take photos, and to communicate with others by facetime. the ipad combines all of these things into a tablet!

JuEunK
8/16/2011 12:51:53 pm

If I could only use one personal technology I would definitely choose iPad. The iPad is less bulky and has nearly equal functions compared to a PC. iPad has great learning applications and they are easy to download.

hamish muir

I would use my I pad to search for research nd download apps to help me

Petrina Gratton
8/16/2011 01:36:52 pm

I would use a cell phone because I could log on to websites that would help me with my studies and my education.I would also use a cell phone so I would be able to contact any of my friends either to assist them if they need any help or for them to assist me if I do not entirely understand what the teacher assigned me to do.

Jason morales

If I could only use one piece of personal technology, I would use my android phone. My phone has gps, and many other tools that can help me if I was lost. It can also help me contact my friends or help me contact the police if something serious happened.

Randy Mora
8/16/2011 03:37:49 pm

If I could only use one piece of personal technology it would be my cell phone because I could call or contact anyone if their was an emergency. Such as a fire, an earthquake, and also if someone got into our school who is a stranger.

Camron Pascascio link

If I could only use one piece of personal technology it would be my cell phone so that I will always be able to contact my friends. I chose my cell phone because I can contact everyone through email, text, and calls with my one device.

Rodrigo Ruelas
8/17/2011 05:49:32 am

I would choose the iPad because of all the applications I could purchase to help me with my reading, vocabulary, and grammar skills. Also, I know it would help me improve my math skills, and would assist me in doing projects for my other classes. Plus, let's face it. I'm still a kid and would love to play all the different cool games it would come with, and those that I would buy.

L. Eun link
8/17/2011 06:42:41 am

My personal piece of technology would be cellphone. I chose the cellphone because you can contact people and communicate. The cellphone is very easy to carry around and easy to access. Some cellphones have internet and a camera. I think that the cellphone is very resourceful.

K.Moon link
8/17/2011 08:23:36 am

If i had to use one piece of personal technology it would be the cellphone. Because the cellphone has everything that you need to get some help. You can call with it, play games if your bored, you can videochat if you have that kind of a app, and you can also watch some tv on your cellphone.

My Goal

One goal that I plan to accomplish in language arts is my verbal skills. This goal is very important to me because verbal skills help me communicate. If I don't improve my verbal skills, I won't be able to get my messages through. In one of the SLE’S, effective communicators require a lot of verbalizing. Verbalizing can also help you think before you speak. Sometimes, I can misinterpret some ideas I want to say. Verbalizing is one main goal that I truly want to accomplish.

My iPad

The one piece of personal technology I would keep would be my iPad. The reason I would choose my iPad is because I can do anything on it. I can play games on it or read book and magazines on it or even go on the internet! There are phone apps and texting apps so I can use it as a phone. The iPad is easy to carry around and it can store a lot of data. The iPad 2 even has a camera and video calling. The iPad is definitely the best choice.

Justin Kim
8/17/2011 09:56:10 am

The piece of technology I would like to use is a iPad. The reasons are because of all the education and research it could provide. The educational apps could make you better in a specific subject. It provides research by having the internet and dictionary apps.

Jenna Green link
8/17/2011 11:22:58 am

If I could only use one piece of personal technology, I would use my cell phone because if I were in a life-or-death situation, such as an earthquake, I would call 911 or be able to contact my parents and teachers for help. A cell phone is a great tool for communicating in an emergency and lets parents or teachers know when to pick me up after school activities.

Bryon Kim
8/17/2011 12:14:56 pm

I would choose the Ipad specifically because of all it's features. The Ipad provides educational apps or other games. The Ipad also provides a camera to take pictures on a trip. The Ipad also has the internet feature and can keep in contact with friends and family, it can also do the work of a cellphone. The Ipad is a cellphone and a computer in one piece of technology. This is why i choose the Ipad.

The Homework was to comment on a comment...
So I would like to comment on all the people who chose iPhone. I think you chose a good piece of technology, better than the computer becuase it is portable. You can do everything on the iPhone that you do on the computer but the difference is you can take it everywhere.

Austin Kim
8/18/2011 09:31:39 am

I agree with Marcela because without cell phone our world wouldn't be where it is right now. We would still be using the postal service, which takes a long time. During emergencies you wouldn't be able to contact anyone.

S. Gray 8th
8/18/2011 09:56:30 am

I liked Daniel's comment on the Ipod Touch because he explained how it was portable and you can use the internet, which is easier than using a computer.

Jamie Baeg
8/18/2011 10:29:02 am

Commenting on:Marcela Riddick 8th
I do agree with Marcela that a phone is more useful and portable than a laptop or an iPad. I also enjoyed the fact that she listed the reasons why a phone is more useful. It would have been better if she gave more reasons why a phone is better than other electronic devices. I also noticed that she wrote serf instead of surf.

D. Hart
8/18/2011 10:53:02 am

If I could choose a single piece of technology, it would be my iPhone.
I would choose this because it has so many features it like a computer. And if something ever happens where i need to contact an adult or a friend i could use it.

Matthew Fontila link
8/18/2011 12:19:03 pm

I agree with Bryon. I would choose the iPad because you can search the internet, call somebody, and it has a wide variety of apps. There are educational apps and if I don't know what a word means or how to spell it I could go to the dictionary. That's why I would choose the iPad.

Michael Yu
8/18/2011 01:27:53 pm

I agree with Jonathan Chae because an I Pad has many things you can do on it.

Andrew Kyong
8/18/2011 01:41:21 pm

If i could only use one piece of personal technology, i would choose my cell phone because i could have contact with my friends and also if I'm in a "sticky" situation i could call 911 or my parents.

Hamish Muir
8/18/2011 01:42:37 pm

Hey Bryon that was a good explanation of the iPad. If you could choose another one what will it be and why?

Rodrigo Ruelas
8/18/2011 01:56:34 pm

To Jenna Green,
I really do think that you have proved a point with the 911 situation because if we are in danger then how can we use a computer or an iPad. If you are underground and stuck in an earthquake how can you call someone when you do not have any signal but i really did like what you put.

Yared Shimelis (8th)
8/18/2011 02:13:12 pm

I agree with Daniel Cho because you can carry an iPad with you if you have a bag or a backpack, and you can get fun and educational apps on it. You can also get an internet connection on it so you can find any information that you need instantly.

Patrick Telles
8/18/2011 03:28:10 pm

1. If you could only use one piece of personal technology, what would it be? (cell phone, PC, iPad, other?) Please give reasons for your choice.

I would choose an Ipad, like many other people, because I like all of the apps that you can download. They seem fun and interesting. I think that all of these apps can help you learn and help you with your work

Deborah L.
8/18/2011 11:32:23 pm

I agree with you Emie, you can call with it in case of emergency. Go to safari in case of instant internet. Play games when you are bored. And also download music to listen. It is also pocket-sized.

L. Eun link
8/20/2011 09:21:03 am

I agree to everything that you said, Patrick. I learned from Mrs. Moldavon's class that these apps really are helpful and fun. There are a lot of different kinds of apps you can find. Patrick, what's your favorite app?
