Sexting Tragedy

On this article they talk about a girl name jessica that committed suicide because her ex/boyfriend sent a nude photo to everyone. He sent it to one of his peers but he sent it another person and so on, and so on. The nude photo was news all over different high-schools. Jessica tried to go with the school's authorities to stop the bullying, but obviously they couldn't do much about it. She then went to the news and gave an interview to spread the word to girls to stop them of making the same mistakes than she did. A month after she graduated she hung herself and now her parents are suing the school, because they didnt take any severe actions against the bullies. Yes, it was a mean thing to do. But in first place, whatttaaa heell was the girl thinking when she sent the nude picture to her boyfriend! now in this days we have a lot of examples of this situations, she should've known better. Second, the school cant do anything about it, because is off school activities ... it had nothing to do with school.. only that the kids attended to the same high-school. Third, the parents are in grieve, they want to blame it on the school. But honestly if they really want to point fingers, they should've paid more attention to her own daughter, maybe they could've prevent it and let her know that its not the end of the world. they could've move to another city, etc. etc.
Jessica committed suicide a month after she graduated, it didnt have ANYTHING to do with the school. The parents should think twice what they are doing... the only excuse I can give to the parents.. it's that they are in grieve. They know they could've done something more to prevent the death of her daughter, so now they are looking for someone to blame. We know that this could've been prevented, but it didnt .. it's a tragedy.. but now instead of pointing fingers, we should let anyone that's out there of the consecuences that bullies can bring and girls or boys should be more aware of their own actions.

Technology

Technology was integrated in my education in many ways. The use of computers, the assignments in the internet, powerpoint presentations, real player, flash media, the "new pizzarrones" in the school are a step closer to technology. I honestly cant think on a project that represents technology integrated in my education. But the project that is more fresh in my mind is the Roto Animation we just did in computer class. I remember it; first because it just happened and second because we used a camera and computers to make it and it was fun.
A specific project I remmeber is one we made with Mr. Whitten were we learned how to record a song in a program called real player. I remember this because it was challenging but a lot of fun.
I dont recall any moment that a teacher should've integrated technology in their lessons. They integreated techonology enough, to think and remember a specific moment where they needed the use of technology.
Sometimes the teachers dont use technology in their class, because it wasn't necessary. Beside most of the time we are using the "pizzarrones" so thats technology "in use".

Short Film

Short Film:
Creating a short film.... i'm pretty excited about this. I've always wanted to create a short film. I have a lot of ideas for this project. Im going to study comunications, so this project will help me to give an idea for making short film, commercials, etc. and what things i will need to know, what things i will learn on my way and all the little details i will need to improve to be better on my field. What i need for this project is patience, because i know i can do this but the lack of knowledge i have on this particular things may influence on my final project. i know that it may not turned out the way i want to, but i hope that it will at least make me feel good about my project. i am looking forward to make this project.

MyRotoAnimation

This assignment was reallly great but frustrating! What i did like, was the overall project, just at the end i could appreciate my project and it looks really cool. What i didn't like was that because in many times i didn't knew what to do, i got frustrated and i know i could've done better and had a better project. But it was fun and we learned and accomplish something, that we never thought possible of doing. :) If you were to do this assignment with next year's seniors, i think you should give them more time. Because i think time is what we missed in order to have an amazing project! This is a cool assignment, but what we need is more time to figure things out so we can have projects as cool as the ones you showed us.
