 100 word challenge

Today in class I had to do the 100 word challenge, which is when Miss Birtch gives us a Picture to write 100 words about and post it on our blog here is the picture I am writing about

once  upon a time there was a girl she had no friends except for her pet dragon called Alfredo, Once she tripped over and then Alfredo picked her up and took her for a ride to a magical land called Dragon place, It was filled with heaps and heaps of dragons all different colors and sizes. Then she made another friend called Pete, he was a grumpy dragon he could blow fire when he was angry. One week later when he got very angry he made the whole town blow up from blowing his fire, So all of  the dragons had to find a new place to live.

 Cybersmart

Today in class we were doing a profile all about ourselves and we also learned how to make sure pictures you are using off google are copyright and you do not get told off for using someone else images. We had to post our profile on our blog and then we had a question to answer on our blog.

Why is it important you use google images with permission?

It is important because the person that took the photo created the piece of art might not  want it being used for things that you want to use them for, and you could get in trouble for not using them with permission. 

Here is my profile that I created:
