Here are my check in notes from class:

2/7/2011- Zoom Activity

The image I choose to represent is the people who receive the letter in Hawaii. Compared to the plane, they are so small. I feel like this school is big and i am just one person in it.

Define Social Media: Social Media is a way in which people connect with other people on the computer. It is the interaction of people from all over the world. You are now able to talk to or webchat with people without even leaving their home, for example FaceBook, Myspace, Twitter, Aim, ooVoo.

ROLE IN SOCIETY: Social Media is a good way to connect and socialize with other people, or even meet new people online. AIM is a good way to talk to people. Its easier than a phone call, and you can type exactly what you want to say. ooVoo is also a way to socialize with people. You can talk and see someone while being n separate places. Social Media is a way of life by having complete access to talk to someone and meet more people. The internet helps everyone keep in touch.

EFFECT ON WORLD: Social Media has an effect on the world. You can have friends or family in another state or country and be able to see and talk to them while sitting in your living room. I keep in touch with all my old friends who I never see anymore. I have an easy time asking someone a question or telling someone something whenever i want to just by messaging or instant messaging them. Social Media help me discuss topics online with some people I haven't even met and get to know how they think and their opinions on various topics. The internet also helps you while doing research. You can get opinions while wanting to buy something or look something up. You can get all the information you need right in front of you.

2/8/11 PROS AND CONS OF SOCIAL MEDIA Pros: 1.) Easy to keep in touch with everyone 2.) Meet new friends and find old friends 3.) Easy to find out information 4.) You are not charged to talk to people in other countries unlike the phone <span style="color: #15f941; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">5.) Informative <span style="color: #15f941; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">6.) Makes life easier

Cons: 1.) You can meet people you don't want to talk to or have contact with 2.) You never know who can find you or your information 3.) It is easy to have your identity stolen 4.) Cyber Bullying 5.) Less physical activity and getting addicted to social media 6.) Rumors and false information 7.) Distraction on (school) work

<span style="color: #f5e80f; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">On a scale from one to ten, social networking sites would be about a 7 to me. Its important for me to talk to my friends all the time. When I have a question for someone, I write in on their facebook wall. Social media is one of my biggest sources of transportation. Social media sites keep me occupied and I am bored without them. Social media sites are addicting, especially with the games, and chats. <span style="color: #f5e80f; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">I think the average teen spends about 20 hours on social networking sites. Everyday when I get home from school, and while I am doing my homework I am on Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr on my laptop. Before I go to bed, I spend another hour or hour and a half on these sites, in the morning on my bus ride I have social media sites on my phone. I'm spending about 2 to three hours on these sites per day.

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 15px; line-height: 31px;">A global leader does not have to be a president, or run a big group of people. It can be an everyday person who wants to make a change. Anyone can be a global leader but you have to have determination to do something.

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 21px; line-height: 31px;">"Imagine Leadership" Video Notes:

Lady Gaga has a unique style and she's not afraid to show it off. Lady Gaga proves thats it's okay to be yourself and to be different.

<span style="color: #ff0096; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Passage Finder <span style="color: #ff0096; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">"You can learn more about how Americans live just by looking at the backgrounds of YouTube videos—those rumpled bedrooms and toy-strewn basement rec rooms—than you could from 1,000 hours of network television." <span style="color: #ff0096; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">I choose this quote because it shows how technology changes everything. Years ago you could find out everything from TV and news papers, and now you find out so much more in a few minutes on the computer than you can from the TV.

<span style="color: #00ffe1; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;">﻿2/15/11 - The Power Of Social Media <span style="color: #00ffe1; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;">I have posted videos and pictures to websites such as facebook and youtube. I know my mom also posts pictures to facebook, just not as much as me. My grandparents have never posted anything to a website, and I doubt they would know how. Before the computer, people got information by talking to people, articles in newspapers, and the TV. They would most likely only talk to people they know, and wouldn't have to option of talking to random strangers who also have the item. They wouldn't be able to see pictures until they saw the person in person. They would have a developed picture of something.

<span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">//‘If your sink is blocked for a few weeks and you remove the plug to dig out the obstruction, the offending mangled mess of soap, fish bones, human hair and other horrible gunk in which bacteria has set up home, is exactly like the World Wide Web’.//

<span style="color: #00fa24; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;">The internet has so much stuff on it built up from so many years, no one even knows exactly what's on there. One thing leads to another and everything gets posted. The internet should be cleaned out once in a while to get rid of anything pointless. They also have to clean up the rumors, lies and false information.

<span style="color: #1100fa; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;">﻿2/16/11 - Part 2 Social Media <span style="color: #1100fa; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;">The audience taking the stage means people are in charge of what news and rumors get out. Before the internet it would have been specific people putting news out on certain subjects. Now everyone has the power to take control.

<span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;">﻿2/17/11 - Social Responsibility <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 18px; line-height: normal;">We should have a responsibility on what we post online. We should be making sure everything we post is true, nothing false or rumors should be online. We should share any information we know or learn to share our knowledge with the world. You can share so much information online by the click of a button, and our responsibility is to do so.

Its good because anything I need is available. All the knowledge in the world is in my hands. It can be bad when I read something untrue. Unfortunately, you can't always tell when something is true or a rumor. When I buy something, I can look up anything about the item and make a review to it. As a producer, I post pictures, statuses and information. Sometimes I put reviews on websites so people know honestly how an item is and whether or not to buy it. <span style="color: #600b0b; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;">Notes On The Video Republic: <span style="color: #600b0b; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;">I think the term video republic means how videos are posted, who controls them and who watches them. Videos have a lot of power <span style="color: #600b0b; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;">I am a part of the video republic. I make fun videos with my friends, and I learn so much from videos. I go on Youtube to even find out information. I look at video reviews to see how easy or hard a product is to use. I make videos of my friends and I to capture moments.

 * 1) <span style="color: #003eff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 18px; line-height: 0px;">Facebook helps connect everyone
 * 2) <span style="color: #003eff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 18px; line-height: 0px;">Facebook is a main source of communication
 * 3) <span style="color: #003eff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 18px; line-height: 0px;">Facebook helps you meet new people
 * 4) <span style="color: #003eff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 18px; line-height: 0px;">Facebook can be dangerous because you never know who can see your profile
 * 5) <span style="color: #003eff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 18px; line-height: 0px;">Another negative to Facebook is how not everyone says who they really are

<span style="color: #3ad9c7; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">3/1/11 <span style="color: #3ad9c7; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px; line-height: 25px;">The story could have had danger if the mother wasn't really her mother. You don't know who you can find on facebook and if they really are who they are. The woman who found the mother had a lot of information which is scary because anyone can get all of your personal information. If the biological mother didn't want to meet her daughter, she had no choice because she was found.

<span style="color: #3ad9c7; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Dangers:

 * <span style="color: #3ad9c7; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px; line-height: 25px;">They often change the privacy settings and don't tell you so everyones profile is open
 * <span style="color: #3ad9c7; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px; line-height: 25px;">nothing is really safe on Facebook

<span style="color: #3ad9c7; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Benefits:

The idea could have been stolen because just because someone thinks of an idea doesn't mean they were going to do anything at the moment. I don't like how one person holds so much information. We don't know what he could do with all the information. There should not be consequences for what people put up unless it is cyber bullying or anything similar to that. Facebook should have more privacy.

<span style="color: #a5094d; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">﻿3/3/11 <span style="color: #a5094d; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Facebook makes money by the ads. Companies pay for the ads. Ads show up on your profile based on your likes, activities and hobbies. Facebook gives this information to companies. I don't think its fair that Facebook sells companies this personal information. It should be an option whether or not our information is shared because then its really not personal information if everyone knows about it. <span style="color: #a5094d; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">I think the government should not play a big role in social networking, but enough so it protects and respects our privacy.

A twelve year old had her friends go against her and put vulgar images up. She was hurt and angry. Her "Friends" went onto her Facebook after she stayed signed in on one of their computers. I feel really bad for this girl because her friends did something behind her back when she trusted them. I would be really bad if someone I was close to did this to me.

This student was already expelled from this school before he posted the list online. He also handed out the list to students. He was arrested. I think that was so wrong for him to make the list and advertise personal information. I think getting arrested was a little intense. He should have got his Facebook deleted and got in trouble with the law for doing this, but jail will be on his record forever. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">﻿Article 3: A New Mexico teen was arrested for posting his girlfriends naked pictures online after she wouldn't have sex with him.

The girlfriend was 15 and she didn't want to have sex and he shouldn't have tried to black mail her into it. It's her body and if she doesn't want to have sex, he should respect her decision. He will be facing a judge, ad he deserves to go to jail for sharing personal pictures on the internet.
