My Skateboarding

from inprintmag.com
I am very skilled in skateboarding! I have been skating for 1 year and a half now. When i first learned how to ollie, i knew that i was capable of being a skateboarder. I now know all of the basic flip tricks and a majority of the complex flip tricks. I know how to do slides and grinds on rails and ledges. I just recently learned the most illustrious trick, "The 360 Flip"! Its a very popular trick and the day i learned was one of the best days of my life. Skateboarding is something I am good at and i want to become one of the best at it. If you ever want to know anything about skateboarding, come to me!

                     Phishing - Hackers stealing data from other unsuspecting online users

1. Look out for mysterious links while online because it may lead you to malicious content such as viruses or spam.
2. Don't click on odd looking download buttons or links because you may end up downloading a virus and letting hackers in.

4. When on facebook or twitter, there may be links trying to get you certain free things. Do not buy into those, they are just traps for hackers to try and phish your info.
5.  When you are on your mobile devices, watch out for certain app downloads because they may contain malicious software.
6. With your own WiFi at home, make sure you always secure it with an encryption code so no one but people in your household can access it and no info will be gathered by others.
7. Be careful while browsing the web, pay very close attention to the URL.  Make sure there is an "https" at the beginning of the URL to know that the site is encrypted and safe to enter info on certain pages.

Upward Bound Creative Art Class

from amazingdata.com
In our creative art class here, we do many things that help us express our creativity. We do photography, video, voice recording, and drawing. The project that we are working on now is that we have to advertise ourselves. A lot of different designers and artists have been coming in to show us ways to make a successful advertisement of ourselves and it has been very helpful. They show us how to successfully represent ourselves and get exposed to the world in our own creative way! We were taught how to create logos and the steps it takes to make a successful logo. We were shown very popular logs to make the process of synthesizing a logo much easier. When our final project is complete, it will be a magnificent work of art and I will have learned how to advertise myself using my own image.

Review Of "About Skateboard" Website

About Skateboard
Rating Of Site: B
from tqn.com
This site is excellent when trying to learn the basics of skateboarding and many other things skaters have problems with or debate on. Anyone can have access to this website and would be very helpful if they are skaterboarders or want to be. The site has many different topics posted by everyone all around talking about different subjects and skaters can come and comment as well as professionals on the topic. They post about things skaters really worry about such as "What is a good skate shoe", "What are the best pair of trucks?" How to kickflip higher?" etc. The site has no design so its kind of boring to look at but it is easy to get around. I learned how to get my kickflips higher by reading a fellow skaters post and it actually seems trustworthy because i feel as though it will really help me get higher kickflips. The site could improve with a bit more colors and design but whats most important is the information on the site which is perfect! 

Review Of "Drum Channel" Website

Drum Channel Website
   Rating Of Site: A
from drumchannel.com
This is nothing but drumming, from learning basics on your own, to practicing with legit online tutors! This website can be beneficial to people of all ages,  no gender or age restriction! The site has great details in its design and with all the great effects going on in the back of the page; its still very easy to get around the site. I learned new seating arrangements at the drums that could also help me avoid my constant sharp back pains and better response to bass pedal kicks. I believe this site needs no further improvement at all and is a great selection when trying to learn drums!

Review Of "CSU Athletics" Site

CSU Athletics
Rating Of Site: A
from csucougars.com
This site deals with the athletics department of Columbus State University and i am very athletically inclined. This site is for anyone who is interested in athletics at this particular school. The site basically informs you on the available sports at this school. There are a variety of different sports here and is a great athletics school! The design of the website is great and is easy to get used to. I learned of the sports this school offers and the ones i will be participating in. The site needs no improvement and is in superb condition!
