Evidence:
- Today I learned how to overlap music on imovie. It is really simple. You click the music icon at the bottom right. Then you choose the song you want to use for your project. After you have put videos or pictures in and it has lasted the whole song, you choose another song. You do exactly the same as you did with the other song, except you put one song on top of the other one. This way there won't be any gaps between songs. But one song will end while the other one is starting. Today I also learned how to put sound effects in video. You click on the icon with the music note. There you will have options of either selecting music or sound effects. You choose sound effects, and select the sound effect that most fits the situation in your video.  You can either put it as a background sound, so you hear it the whole time, or just in one part of the video. Lastly I learned how to manipulate text on imovie. You choose a form of text and then you can change the font, the size of the letter, the color, etc. Another thing I learned today is how to put video effects on imovie, so it looks like you are disappearing, or you can also change the background while the video of you is still playing. I looked at a video of how to make it look like you are a ghost. So first, you take a video of just the background. You also have to make sure nothing is moving. Then you take a clip of you in the same place as the background. You insert the clip of only the background and after that you also insert the one of you but on top of the other one. Then you take the one where you appear on and  fade the image. That's how you look like a ghost.

One thing you want to learn next Google day:
- Some things I want to learn on the next Google day are how to change the color of the video on imovie. Another thing I want to learn next class is about green screen on imovie. How to use it and how you can move around it. The last thing I want to learn on the next Google day, is how to use imovie and sync songs to lip sync. I want to learn how to put it exactly where you should put it, so it looks like you are the person singing the song, and not the artist. Also I want to learn that, so I can put the video with what the song is saying. Not only us singing.

Digital Nation

Disagreements:
1. If we have computers for the whole class we won't be able to pay attention. No, because we can be doing something fun without having to be distracted.
2. Book won't disappear. They are an extremely important part to our education and not ALL can be done with computers. We also need other sources.
3. If you are tall you have a better chance of being successful. Look at Niall Horan. He is normal sized and he is in one of the most successful boy bands all around the world.
4. People are not able to multitask. You may be doing a lot of things but I bet you are not doing anything right.
5. Technology doesn't affect our writing skills. I think it doesn't affect it but neither help us.
6. Internet keeps us from living our normal life. I disagree. Internet is now part of our normal life.
7. Meeting people on the internet may be dangerous but not all the time. You have to be extremely careful when you do it. The person can be someone on the internet, but someone totally different in real life.
8. Although internet is a very big part of everyone's life, we have to learn how to live without it sometimes.
9. Computers aren't more fun than learning. You can also have a lot of fun doing other things and not using the internet,
10. Walking into a class with no media is like walking into a desert, I disagree because it's a little exaggerated It may seem like something really big is missing but you don't die without internet in one class.

Agreements:
1. People are very addicted to internet. To avoid this problem, we should have more education about technology starting t a younger age.
2. Vacations isn't vacations anymore. We are still doing all kinds of things on the internet.
3. People don't need a lot of teaching to know how to use the internet. We just wonder around and check out new stuff.
4. When we are on the computer we are like in another world. We are were we are physically but not mentally.
5. Internet and technology is very addictive. You don't have anything to do on the computer but you are still sitting there staring at the screen.
6. People are using technology in a non responsible way. There is even a woman who quit her job just to play games on the internet.
7. When you are on the internet, no one is supervising what you are doing. You could be looking at anything and no one wil notice.
8. In y opinion, class is more interesting using technology. If we're not using it class becomes more boring because it's not a modern way of learning and we are technically going backwards in educating ourselves with and about technology.
9. Internet is extremely distractive. One moment you are doing homework, and the other you are on tumblr without noticing how fast you changed form one task to the other.
10. Without technology we feel like we are in another world were there is nothing to do and it becomes really boring.
