Colleges Check Social Media
by CJ Vredenburg

      Colleges will check social media so they feel that they know more about things about the applicant. Social media is a whole new side to people and if u don't watch what you say then you could lose a opportunity at a certain college. People focus on social media and most people don't really think too much about what they put on there and they just put what they feel at that moment which can cause lots of misunderstandings and could really hurt your college career. So everyone needs to be careful what they put on it.

         Social media is becoming more of practice for teens and young adults. Which means that there is more types of social media and new things coming out on them. Social media is causing lots of people to make comments so they can hide behind the screen which is why colleges should check there social media so they can stay connected. Do i think it should replace there grades and work for whether to accept them or not? no but it should be taken int consideration especially for sports and other activities.

       Colleges are trying to get themselves more connected to students and have all of it not just be about grades and have it be more connected with 21st century devices and ways to connect with peers. Everyone should be careful or maybe delete your account when you become a senior and just make a new one. Its not like the colleges will try and get into deleted accounts they will just look at whatever one can see, you could even turn your account on private. So i think one tip is just get rid of it.

     One thing that surprised me was how they hire people just to have this job. But saving one person from being a huge struggle to the school would be worth paying this one person. Also professors don't have the time to know students personally or search there social media. So hiring someone to do it will make it so everyone can do other things and one person can focus on doing it. Personally i think that they should check social media and that its huge part of someones life.

Sports Final Reflection

E-comm is a huge environment with many ways to develop and i think that i have many strengths in sports but i would say i have many strengths such as Animating, typing blogs and reflecting on our blogs, taking criticism and improving on it and looking to change things that we do to look better while also making us improve our skill. I think that my animation skills have improved if i can get help with the ideas then i am good at doing the actual animations and i also think my editing skills have improved and developed into a quick and fast process but it is never perfect and i need to focus more. I am good at reflecting on things we do because i want to do better than i did before because improvement is key in becoming your best possible self. I think strengths are not easy to come up with because you can always get better than you are. I would say being able to grow is best strength and i intend on working on making this strength even better. Weaknesses are something that surround e...

Animation Reflection

     This is my Animation reflection. I used many different things this year such as green screening, special effects, 2d animation and 3D modeling. These are all things i learned and  we took steps of copying what Mr.Netterville did then we repeated and added our own sweet touch to each thing. I think technology was a huge takeaway because i have developed and learned many thing about working with computers and typing faster and just being better at editing pictures and manipulating them to what i like.     The first thing we focused on was 2d animation and it was pretty easy for me and i helped a lot people but i liked all the things we did because they encouraged us to be individuals. I think this helped us l earn about technology because we put a lot of pieces together and learned about parts of technology and what we needed to do to complete our project while using all the things we have to our disposal.      Another takeaway was L...
