Haley B and My Outline for Advocacy Video

The theme for my video will be, "Be Stronger, Live Longer." My idea at this point isn't very mapped out, it's just an idea. I was thinking about what people think of as being strong. Some people think of it as physical strength, having to do with muscles and how much you can lift in a weight room; other people see it as a wide range of many things in life. I think it would be cool to have a recording of me asking people (of all different ages) what being strong means to them and how someone becomes strong. Then have a rap up by a few professors on campus about what being strong would do for a better longer life in their opinion. I'll probably interview Dr. Z because it would be funny. All of the people that answer my question will only have a very short clip on the video, it will be rapid answers. That's basically what I've come up with and am working on make my plan more detailed.

Haley B and taching about priva-CY

This week we were supposed to teach someone else about the importance of privacy when using the internet. I taught my roommates, all three of them, about privacy on the internet. At first they didn't really take me seriously, kept making jokes (which were funny, dang it), and asked dumb questions, but after they calmed down we talked about privacy and ended up discussing what we would want our children to do if they were able to use the internet. We talked about how it would be really important to monitor our children when we have them, and make sure that they are safe. If that means not letting them have facebook or whatever the latest thing at the time is until we feel they're old enough and mature enough to be smart, then SO BE IT.

Haley B and making sub pages

This week I had a lot of fun working on my site for class. I did however run into some problems trying to figure out how to create a subpage. While working on it I asked my dear friend Sarah to show me what's up and she graciously showed me how to add subpages. I kind of felt dumb after I saw how simple it is to do. It's funny how you can stare at a screen for so long and not be able to figure out to just push the huge butt that says "add a page." It's good to have other people come in, who have a different perspective and see different things, to help when we need it.

Also, I finished my site so check it out!! https://sites.google.com/site/haleybennettclasssite/home

Haley B's problem encounters with making a website

This past week I didn't get enough time to work on my website. I have found that as I have gotten online more to try and figure things out I have begun to find myself understanding how to actually do the things that this class requires of me. This is such an amazement to me. I have always thought I was good with computers because I do just dink around and find my way around problems by clicking ever button I see. This didn't work so well for a bit while I was trying to figure out how to add sub pages to my website, but I ended up navigating my way to doing what I set out to do and had a little celebration on my own for around 2 seconds. It was a good day for overcoming my obstacles in website creation.
Check out what I've done so far (I'm not saying it's finished). https://sites.google.com/site/haleybennettclasssite/
