__**Here are my check in notes from class:**__

2/7/11 - __ ZOOM ACTIVITY __

 * This is a photo of a girl sitting and sleeping on the beach chair on the cruise ship. Through times at CSIHS, I could relate to this because it reminded me of times when I was lazy and waited to do work at the last minute. This is a bad habit for me and i hope that i will do my homework earlier. **
 * Define social media - Social media is an interaction of people using the internet, interaction of people all over the world. Twitter, YouTube, Email, Google Apps, Aim, Ebay, Cell Phones **


 * What role does social media technologies play in our society/world? We use social media to find information from a click of a button, keeps people connected, share information, distraction... **
 * What effects does/can social media technologies have on our world? provide real world examples. Social media takes us away from real life. Cyber bullying **

** 2/8/11 - __ PROS & CONS OF SOCIAL MEDIA __ **

 * List the five pros and five cons of social networking. **
 * Pros **
 * ** Talk to friends **
 * ** Makes life easier **
 * ** Get Information fast **
 * ** Publish things we want to share **
 * ** Connect to people from all over the world **


 * Cons **
 * ** False information given out **

====** On a scale of one to ten of how important social networking in my life, i would rate it a 9. Social networking is a big part of my life, sadly. It entertains me when i get bored. As soon as i get home from school, i always immediately go on my laptop. Not only does it entertain me, it helps me when i need answers for homework. You could never say that there is nothing to do on social networking because there is always something to search. ** ====


 * I think the average high school student spends 30 hours on SNS. **

**I think Lady Gaga should be on this years time magazine "Person of the Year". She's a very unique person and she has her own style. She became very popular by her songs such as Love Game, Poker face, Bad Romance, Paparazzi, and her new single called Born This Way. She performed it at the 53rd Grammy Awards.**


 * Passage Finder - " Who are these people? Seriously, who actually sits down after a long day at work and says, I'm not going to watch Lost tonight. I'm going to turn on my computer and make a movie starring my pet iguana? I'm going to mash up 50 Cent's vocals with Queen's instrumentals? I'm going to blog about my state of mind or the state of the nation or the steak-frites at the new bistro down the street? Who has that time and that energy and that passion? **
 * The answer is, you do. And for seizing the reins of the global media, for founding and framing the new digital democracy, for working for nothing and beating the pros at their own game, TIME's Person of the Year for 2006 is you. **
 * This paragraph stood out to me because these things are actually true. Although these things might sound funny, they are not funny to people that actually do these things. **

====<span style="font-size: 1.06em; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;">** I've posted a customer review on a shopping site. It's a great way to get to know your product. It's really helpful for someone when they want to know how the product is before they buy it. If i want something, i would look it up online to see if it has good or bad reviews. If it has good reviews, ill consider on buying it but if it has bad reviews, i wont buy it. ** ====

In part, by throwing up some gated communities, such as AppStores and Social Networks, where regular folk can talk to each other without fear of their Gucci loafers getting sullied by geek-grime." ** ====

 * Anyone with internet access can contribute content to the web. As a consumer and producer, there are many consequences. As a producer, you can buy and obtain information and as a producer, you could put up and post up information. The consequences of a producer is getting wrong information and being cyber bullied. The consequences of being a consumer is not knowing if you actually get the product when you buy it. **


 * __ Notes on The Video Republic __**
 * I think the Video Republic means that the people are in control. They could post any video they want, comment anything that they want. People have connections through commenting. **


 * <span style="margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 3em; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">** Video is changing young people **

 * <span style="margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 3em; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">** Video republic is growing **


 * I am part of the video republic. I don't post up videos but i do watch videos. Watching videos are part of my daily life. Videos are changing people. More and more people are posting up videos. I use the video republic for entertainment and information. Whenever i want to purchase a product i would look up reviews on YouTube. Its really helpful to know the product before you buy it. **

 * __Check-In:__ Yesterdays story about a teenage girl reuniting with her biological mother showed a positive moment in Facebook's role in society. Would there be any danger in yesterdays story? **


 * Yes there are dangers from yesterdays story. There mom could of been fake and hurt the girl that was looking for her. The finder that found the mother could of killed the mother and the girl would never find her biological mother ever. **

**__ The Facebook Obsession Video __**

 * __ Social __**

**3/2/11 - SOCIAL NETWORKING : OBSESSION OR NECESSITY? **

 * Check-In: Yesterdays story about the origin of facebook had many different viewpoints. Answer this: do you think the idea was "stolen" and what are your initial reactions to one person/one company holding so much personal info? Also, should facebook be "totally private"? In other words should there be consequences to what people put up? **


 * - I believe that Mark Zuckerberg did maybe steal some ideas but he did not steal the whole idea. If the other people published Facebook before Mark Zuckerburg, then it would be called stolen. Obviously if you were the creators of Facebook, you would publish it too. I think it's really dangerous that Mark Zuckerburg has access to everyones personal information. One day he could maybe leak everyones information out to the public :O! I think Facebook shouldn't be totally private. Facebook has access to settings where people could customize whatever and whoever they want to see their profile, photos, videos, and information. There shouldn't be consequences towards what people put up. You are responsible for whatever you put up. **

** 3/3/11 - SOCIAL NETWORKING : OBSESSION OR NECESSITY? **

 * Check-In : 1 - Describe what we learned yesterday about how Facebook makes money. What is your reaction to this? (fair? unfair? dangerous? infringement on privacy?) **
 * 2 - What role should government play in social networking? How can the government use social network to help citizens? **


 * -Facebook makes money by how people make groups of different interests and age groups. Facebook will notice what pages and groups that you like or what you post on your interests and will post ads on your page. Also things that you search on Facebook. I think its okay because we agreed to their terms and we don't have to pay to use the site so its okay. **
 * - The government should be able to play in social networking. **

** 3/17/11 - SCHOOL TRIPS AND CAREER DAY **

 * Do Now- I think people are more attracted to visuals because it gives them a chance to analyze it. A visual may be kept into their mind and lead towards a message. Texts just tell you all the information. It doesn't really let you think for a minute. I personally like to look at visuals more then reading a text. They say, a picture is worth a thousand words :). **

Yes i think there should be forms of monitoring over social media. If there were forms of monitoring, things that happened in the articles wouldn't happen. People as young as twelve wouldn't be charged and get arrested.
 * Check-In:** Should there be forms of monitoring over social media? Why or why not? Explain (class journal)

====article 1 - This article is about two girls who are friends of Leslie Cote cyber bullied her on Facebook. These girls are only in sixth grade and Leslie's friends were faced with criminal charges. Leslie says," I just couldnt control it and then I didnt get any sleep." " I kept crying the whole time, and it's just all bunched up." Leslie became the victim of cyber bullying after she accidentally saved her password on a friend's computer. I think its horrible that twelve year olds were faced with criminal charges. I think they are very young to have Facebook accounts.====

article 2 - This article explains how a boy was arrested for ranking fifty girls from Oak River High School by their sexual characteristics and behaviors and posted it on Facebook. Others who were part of making the list have been expelled from the school and were arrested and charged as a juvenile.

article 3 - A boy age fourteen was arrested for posting nude pics of his fifteen year old girlfriend. The fourteen year old boy was pressuring his girlfriend into having sex & sending him a nude photo of herself. She was threatened to be blackmailed into sleeping with her and when she declined, he posted the photo to Facebook. He is now at a juvenile facility and will soon face a judge.
