Sexting Article

Jessica Logan was a girl involved in a sexting issue that caused her death due to depression. The school is not responsible for her death as their parents think, but it is important to know both sides for this problem. When her picture appeared in almost every cellphone of Sycamore High she went to get an advice and help from the school's councelor. The only help she could get is a "there's nothing I can do" from the authorities of the school. Their parents are arguing that they could've tried agressive ways to attack this issue. The only guilty is her boyfriend because he is the one that started circulating the picture of her naked.

The school is not guilty of this issue because they are not responsible for others actions, although their part of the society inside the school. Chacking every cellphone or every blog account from the students would invade people's privacy and it would be worthless cause the students would still have the pictures. The real guilty as a I said, is the boyfriend he should feel worse than any of the students because he is the real responsible for lowering Jessica's self-steem.

School Posting

According to teachers, there has been an offensive posting against some staff members of the school. They are planning new ways to avoid this kinds of situations from students, which i think is kind old harsh because not all them are guilty or have to do with that issue. When involving others as targets to make fun of, can be rude and quite disrespectful, but as i say, not all students have to do with this problem, it might only be one. Now that we know the school is concerned, students can now be more careful with what they post or just start by getting rid of the staff members in their contacts.

Facebook security

The new Facebook security measures are quite strict but they hope to get a better functionality in users providing a safer zone for them to interact. The new things implemented include an age for members to start creating their blogs. The 13 year old limit is one of the most criticized because teens want to have the freedom to get to share pictures and comments with their friends and family. It seems users have more restrictions but new ways they can be affected online by other users, this is why they are creating a list of things you should consider when your login in. I think this would last because although it might change some stuff in the general idea of Facebook, it can provide a safer service for users.

Video Editing

On the video project I think I'm going to create a commercial for a new soccer ball.
My team is Jose Vallarta and Raffa Kollinger.
Im planning on having a short commercial with someone freestyling with the product.

Academic career

My academic career started here in the American School since I was like 6 years old. Soon, I was taught how to use technology as a helping tool for school. Throught the years things got more complicated in terms of the usage of new programs but at the same time they serve as tools. Technology has been part of many of us since we were little. I had Mr. Davis for 2 years and he taught me how to use programs like Photoshop and Dreamweaver.

When I left the American School for 3 years, I had to use a laptop in my new school instead of books and notebooks. This was great in some ocasions because we get to use the computer not only as a search engine for school work and homework, but also as an organization tool which helped sometimes. Using technology had its pro's and con's but overall it was a good idea because sometime in the future Im pretty sure things would be more like that.

I remember having a project with Mr. Davis about creating a web pages that took weeks and weeks. He was teaching us the basics of Notepad but the majority of us weren't that good at building them. I think I might remember that project because I was not good at it. Teachers should integrate technology in their daily presentations because it gets the students attention and I think we were remember it easily.

Roto Ball Animation Projection

The Roto Ball Project was finally done and it turned out it wasn't that difficult as other animation projects we did in the past. I honestly thought this was going to be much harder than the first animation we handed in. The creation of the video was the fun part because we get to pick an action for 15 seconds and trace ourselves with Flash Media. The part i didnt like was the ball tracing because it needed to interact with the trace we did at first. Overall it was Ok and I'm pretty sure next year, the seniors will also enjoy this project.
