Skills Needed For College:

According to an article by Inc.com, the skills that people need nowadays to perform well in college and the workplace aren't all technology-based.  Surprise!  Or maybe not, when you consider that reading, writing, and communicating are always going to be necessary human requirements for any society.

Here is the short version of the list of skills needed to be successful:

1. Understanding systems
2. Applying empathy and design skills
3. The ability to communicate complex ideas 
4. Collaborating and working in teams

DUE TODAY:

If you want your nickname displayed in the yearbook (instead of your actual name), make sure you inform your Titan Pride teacher of the requested change. 

Forms were sent out via email, which you will need to complete as well.  Refer to our policy regarding appropriate nicknames.  Keep in mind, only reasonable variations of your actual name will be used.  These must be submitted to the Yearbook department by 3:00 pm today.

A Great Reminder:

Find some hobbies!

Too Much Technology?

Here's an interesting article about how today's youth are growing acclimated to Tech at much younger ages than their predecessors, and what that might mean for the future.

What are your thoughts:  

1. Is tech taking over the most basic of everyday activities?
2. Is it becoming (or has it already become) an addiction that can't be stopped?
3. Can we stem the tide of technology pieces that we've come to rely on so easily?

FRI-YAY

"If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed...
       If you do read it, you're mis-informed."

Denzel Washington, quoted, regarding news/media outlets today and their responsibility to tell the truth as well as the consumers' responsibility to make sure they are truthfully informed.  He  continued on, stating:

"What is the long-term effect of too much information?  

One of the effects is the need to be FIRST, not even to be TRUE anymore.     

...Tell the truth... 

Anything you practice, you'll get good at, including BS."
