Tragedy and School Lawsuit

After reading this tragedy I realized how many dumb girls are there on the world. First of all she shouldn't be sending pictures of herself naked to anybody, and second of all her boyfriend shouldn't forward it to anyone else as a demonstration of respect. I don't think this is a reason to commit suicide because its not like it is so bad to be seen naked, after all that is how we naturally are. in conclusion, to prevent these problems girls shouldn't be sending pictures of themselves with nudity to anybody.

I believe that the school isn't responsible for any of this, it was the girls fault because she was who sent her picture to her boyfriend. The boyfriend would also be responsible because he forwarded to his friends and other people, but the school had nothing to do with it because its not like the staff was sending the picture to others. Maybe the school didn't make enough actions, but that isn't their responsibility because it was something the girl did outside of school. In conclusion, i believe that the parents shouldn't be accusing anyone else but their daughter.

new security measures

I understand that the new security measures in facebook are for peoples protection and security, because facebook is a media in which people find out personal facts about other people. They were created so that people who want a lot of privacy can have it, as well as security and protection from others. I think that they are good because they help people in avoiding problems in security and in privacy, and I also think that they will be succesful because people who have facebook acounts will now feel safe. I believe that this will effect facebook in a good way because it will have a better reputation, and people will use facebook in a better and more secure way.

I feel that people who post things about other people without the knowing arent doing something good because they can cause misunderstandings with others. The community would probably think that the school is very bad if they saw staff members posting videos or comments of students because they shouldnt be having those types of relationships with each other. The school I believe shouldnt do anything because the postings that have been done didnt have any bad intentions against staff members, it was a joke and I think that the school is able to see this.

Video Editing

This video editing assignment that we will be doing in January looks somewhat interesting because Ive always wanted to learn more of video editing. I was thinking about making a video commercial of health, how to stay in shape by going to the gym. Show some exercises that you could to to stay in shape. Alex will be videotaping me while I do the exercises with weights.

Technology

Technology has reflected a lot in my education, starting from when I was in elementary school. We started out by playing some games in the computer like pinball or others, and as time went by we started experimenting more with computers. When I was in like 4th grade we learned the basics from Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; and later on we moved on to experimenting with these 3 programs on our own. Ive been in the American School for 14 years now, and since I was young technology has been present in my education.

Once I entered junior high the use of technology was even more important because essays and other assignments required the use of Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. In our computer classes the use of technology increased a lot, we learned how to use Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Typing master, notepad, and Image ready. I remeber a few projects we had to do in this class, one of them was a web page on evolution, and we also had a several on photoshop that dealed with changing our looks. I remember these projects because I learned a lot from them and I had lots of fun too.

There were several times in the last years in which i think teachers could have assinged more things that dealed with technology. For example in projects of chemistry or biology we could have made web pages or animations of some topic in any of these two classes. Instead of using clay or other materials for 3-D projects of cells or any other topic, we could have used technology to make as i said before animations of web pages. I think the teachers never included that much techonology in their lessons because they dont know how to use it very well. In conclusion, technology has reflected a lot in my education, but I could have a better use and understanding of it if we would have used it more in the past years.

Rotobal post

What I liked of this assignment is how we learned to maked an animation of an actual video, all the movements and colors made it look very good. The fact that it looked very similar to the actual video was the best, because it was ourselves but in an animation full of colors. What I didnt like was the fact that it was a little complicated, but overal it was pretty fun and we learned something new. If you were going to use this same assignment I would recommend you to leave it the same because it was pretty fun and interesting, even though it was a little hard and complicated it should stay the same.

Animation post

I finished my flash animation and it came out pretty good i think. I had several frustrations like adding music, or movement to the animation. After all I got some help and could finally put it all together to make it an animation. I think it came out pretty good, not perfect because its my first time using flash but it was still a little good. If I could change something about it i would probably make it longer, and have more scenes and more characters in it. I would continue adding more stuff into the animation if the new assignment was to make it longer, and it would probably come out a lot better because now i know a little bit more of flash. I feel pretty confident about my final project because for being the first time using flash i believe it was pretty good, it had movement, music, etc. In conclusion, I feel pretty happy that i know how to use flash now and that I did my first animation, hopefully in the future i will be able to make better animations. Peace Out

Family reunion


I still remember my 8th birthday in Acapulco with all my family together. We were at my house eating lunch all together and having a very good time. After we were done eating, my cousins, my friends and I started playing together some games like hide and seek. My parents bought me a piñata and lots of other presents, which made me very happy. Lots of candy was given out to my friends and cousins, as well as cake and other delicious desserts. It was probably one of the best birthdays Ive ever had because all my family was there as well as my friends, and I received lots of presents. I will never forget this moment because it was one of the happiest ever, I will always remember my 8th birthday.

I choose a palm tree because Ive lived by the beach for all my life. There hasn't been a year in which I wasn't living in a place without a beach. I also picked it because its probably my favorite place to be in the whole world, Id rather be in the beach than in the city. The ocean is just the best thing in the world, and therefore I picked this tree.

Social Media Revolution

The Social Media Revolution video has very important facts of what is happening in the world nowadays or what will happen soon. I picked the theme that said that if facebook was a country it would be the 4th biggest in the whole world. I found out this very interesting because im involved in it as well as lots of my friends, we all have facebook accounts and we are all part of this social media.

There are lots of dangers here as well as positive facts. One of the dangers present is the fact that lots of people choose facebook as a past time instead of other activities. A coule years ago a fun past time was practicing any sport, whereas today facebook is a new past time. This involves no physical activity and its causing some people to be lazy, instead of being out exercising with your friends you now sit in your house talking to people by facebook or looking at pictures. Im not saying that having a facebook account is bad, its actually a pretty good thing because its an easy way of communicating with people from different parts in the world. The fact that its taking away physical activity from people is an issue, but it has its pros as I said before.

I have a facebook account but I am also protected because I love sports and a website isnt going to stop me from practicing them. I of course save some time for looking at pictures in facebook and talking to my friends, but most of the time Im doing any physical activity. Education should change a little in the way technology is managed, schools should recommend websites that teaches students something, so that they can focus on something else rather than being on facebook all the time. Preparing other activities that dont involve the internet would also be a little helpful, or prepare activities that involve historical websites that help students learn something new. In conclusion, I believe that facebook has its advantages and disadvantages and we are the ones in charge of changing these social media problems.

Wassup ladies

whats up everyone how are you guys doing? Well I just wanted to tell you guys that im new in this blog thing, so hopefully later on ill be using it more. I believe blog is used to communicate with your friends and teachers, talk about lots of things that happened to you during your day, or any other thing. I expect blog to be fun, so that we can use it a lot any time and just talk with your friends, also to remind people about what homework they have to turn in, or even turn homework in through here. Creating a blog is probably one of the easiest thing ever, I looked through a youtube video that was 2 minutes long, and it taught me how to create a new account instantly. In order to have all my classmates in my friend list we logged in to facebook and everybody posted their adress in a message, so it was pretty fast and easy. Well I think thats about it folks, Ill keep on posting up some more comments later on. Peace.
