I read the article, Cherry Creek schools locked down as precaution and it was kind of scary to me. Four Cherry Creek schools were shut down because of kids reporting seeing a group of men with guns. No weapons were found on seven high school suspects after they were searched. They have not found anything on the boys yet but they're waiting to find out more. It's scary to think guns could be brought into our school and people could get seriously injured or even killed. I remember when I was in middle school, In eigth grade at Powell and their was a robery at a bank and we went in lock down and locked all the doors to the school.

I read the article, 6 treated for carbon minoxide in Centennial. This article made me realize how hazardous car starting in garages can really be. Three adults and three kids were treated with carbon minoxide poisoning this morning. Someone forgot they left their car running in a garage and fell alseep all night and it gave off hazardous fumes. The people who got poisoned thought they had food poisoning but one person was completely out of it when they were talking on the phone to a friend. What matters here is to be careful and never leave your car running or you can harm yourself and others.

I read, Littleton soccer coach faces child sexual assault and I found it terrifying. I used to play on challenge two on U14 and to think that would happen with my own league is just disterbing. As you know, lots of girls my age have been coached by this man. Parents should not have to be scared by just dropping off their kids at practice. To believe a goalie coach can kidnap and sexuall assault one of his players on the team is unbelievable. I think this man should be put away for life, the parents trusted him around their kids and he just took advantage of it.

I read an article named No More Librarians by Karl Fisch and it is an article about another article he read. It states that the man of the first article does not see the use of librarians anymore, because most learning is used on the internet. Personally, I have never read a whole novel over the internet ever before. Maybe, text books aren't needed on paper anymore because mostly all my text books are online that I can look up. Librarians at our school always look busy to me, checking in books, writing fees, helping students, delivering printed papers, and checking out books. Students still use the library to check out novels or biographys for papers in class and out. Some just read for fun but I think librarians are needed, because there's still work to be done.

I read an article called, RDU New! by David Warlick and it shows that the RDU terminal has suspicous outlets under the seats. The man who wrote this article doesn't believe these outlets are used for anything good. He doesn't know exactly what but the only wifi in the terminal is TMobile and he finds that kind of weird also. I don't exactly know what these outlets are for but I believe this man is driving himself crazy over just outlets, how could these possibly be harmful?He says he will not trival with this airline again, because of these sketchy outlets. I don't believe American Airlines can be harmful in any way.

I read the article, 68-year-old Evergreen man killed in crash by Kirk Mitchell, the man drove his truck off the road and drove into a tree. He was not wearing a seatbelt and it happened last thursday night. What matters in this article is safety counts when your driving on the road because it can come out with dangerous consiquences. I think that you should always make sure your in a condition that you can drive. The man should of left earlier or just stayed where he was if he was that tired. It's so sad what a little thing can do to a persons life.

For my third PLN I read 2 Cents Worth “If it’s Not About Technology, Then what is It About?”. While reading I noticed that we use technology to do our work a lot more then we should. Students use the internet to do their homework and work rather than books, but the internet isn't always right.Technology, is upgrading daily and its uses are practically anything. Computers learn alot about everything because people ask questions daily. As technology increases more students will go to technology even more than books. Students don't realize how you can't just find the answer all the time and learn something, you need to search for it and figure out what is wrong and right. But it's another story when it is an online book that teachers pass out because the book will always have the answer that will be correct. Technology is changing lives more than we know, Is it a good change or a bad change?
