John Hunter World Peace Game

He means that he is above his students, as if they are looking up to him and he has to make everything okay.
He used a game because games are appealing to children of all ages. Kids find games fun and competitive.
They play prime misters, Generals in the army, they are apart of the united nations
John Hunter is the facilitator 
It shows them no matter who wins a war in the end both sides still lose. Life is a precious gift and the student have to feel that you will always lose people in war.
Passionate for his students and the world, world advocate, and caring
I agree because with this particular game everyone sees things in a different way and have different opinions and views. What one child thinks the other may not and you cannot say that they are wrong. So as a teacher i feel that my students will learn and achieve different thinking and analyzing skills.

Computer Tips

Find Text Quick With Ctrl-F


This is one of those important computer tips that you will use all the time. One of the things I find myself doing most frequently is trying to find one specific word or sentence within a much longer document or web page. Happily, if you know what you’re looking for, Windows makes it easy to find it. In almost every application, you can type Ctrl-F (F for Find) to find a word or series of characters. Ctrl-F works in Microsoft Word and Excel, all major Web browsers, Notepad, and many other applications. Go ahead and give it a try right now in your Web browser.

Shift ctrl -3(whole) or 4(parts) - screen shot (do not need to know)
Print screen
ctrl S- save
ctrl P-  Print
ctrl Z- undo
ctrl alt del- menu/ restart
ctrl 2- double space
ctrl 1- single space
Alt tab- switch between open programs
Transfer big files.com- send large documents for free up to 2G
ctrl T- open a new tab
ctrl V- paste
ctrl C- copy
ctrl B- bold words
ctrl W- close tabs
ctrl L- left align
ctrl R- right align
ctrl E- center
ctrl A- select all
ctrl I- italize
Creating passwords: use a number, symbol, and capitol letter









I wish I was more comfortable with using access. I used it during the BTLE and I passed, but it's just not something I would feel comfortable using again.
