How technology is useful in school?

Technology is useful in many ways in school. Technology can be useful for school projects, to look up school concepts that you don't understand very well, to do virtual school for subjects you don't have a chance to take during school hours, technology allows students to present different subjects to their class, allows students to check up on their grades and upcoming assignments their teachers will assign, and lastly, it allows teachers to present concepts to their students, give them quizzes, and show them educated videos related to the topic the are teaching at that moment. Personally, I use technology in school everyday to do assignments on my virtual American History class, to write papers, create power points presentations for projects, to write blogs which I'm doing now for Mrs. Basi's class, and to research concepts which I may need a better understanding on. So that's how technology is useful to myself and others in school.

Helping the Community

I have helped the community in many ways while I was in the boy scouts. I remember we would get in groups of 4 or 5 on the weekends and pick up trash on our highways and roads in Broward county. We would also sell popcorn every holiday to try to raise money and donate it to charities to help purchase gifts for unprivileged kids. Then when my dad was apart of the Kiwanis club the would hold a holiday party for all the Kids in distress and have someone dressed up as Santa Claus giving each child a gift to brighten up this Christmas :) They also held a kids day every year for kids to have fun. They would have a clown come to do a puppet show to entertain the kids, Cotton candy machine for the kids, slides, rides, and horses for the kids to ride on. Then some mom's would volunteer to do Arts&crafts with the kids. So my dad and I helped the community in a positive way while he was apart of the Kiwanis club. Now In the future I plan to volunteer at different events with Volunteer broward to make our community a better place. To make a difference in our community it doesn't take much just a few hours of your time will help our community in a positive way. So step-up club members, let's try to volunteer at different events so we can be the ones to help our community in a positive way. :)
