A Ghostly Night

This is one of the Urban Legends that I thought sounded interesting. When a babysitter called the parents who hired her to ask if she can cover up the clown statue in the room where she's watching TV because it

disturbs her. Then the parents tell her to call 911, grab the children, and get out of the house immediately! My best Halloween costume was when I dressed up as a dead girl. I had a black wig with a black cloak. Then I painted my face white, it looked really spooky.

The scariest thing I did for Halloween was one year we went to the haunted maze. It was a corn field, but it was plowed out so it was a maze. We had to start in the center, and try to get out. The whole time zombies and ghosts were chasing us and popping out of random places. If you did not run fast enough they would get you. It was so scary, I do not think I would ever do it again. I am deathly afraid of spiders and weird looking insects. If I see one in my house I will scream and point at it, jumping up and down. Until, someone comes in and kills it. Halloween is probably my least favorite holiday because it is really creepy and dark.

Social Media in School

Studies have shown that over 75% of students are using a social media website of some kind. Most schools ban students from getting on facebook, twitter, etc. during the school hours. Social media could be used in schools so students can ask each other questions about. There are ways to incorporate social networking tools in class. It could be used for online assignments that can be done at school or at home. This will encourage students to interact with each other, and be focused on schoolwork at the same time. Using social media sites in school will mix education and social development, which is what most school are wanting. Most students will be motivated to know they can help their friends with schoolwork, but have a social life as well.

There are many positive reasons to use social media in school one of those things is getting the parents engaged in the activities the class is doing. Also, it would help to keep them informed of the upcoming events. It may even help the students get there work done or be a reminder because most students go online at night. If they are already online then they will probably remember to do their schoolwork. The shy kids in class might feel more comfortable knowing that they can contribute to the class discussion by typing it out then having to announce it to the class. It is also a quick and easy way to make up your schoolwork if you are absent for the day because you will be involved in the class discussion. Overall, social media in school has many benefits and it should at least be considered by many schools.
