Mini Assesment

After we are done in Moodle Called Mini-Assessment Answer the following Questions:

Use MLA Standards and bring in examples from class and your real life and be as detailed as possible. We have gone over these in class.  

1. Name 3 contexts (at least one should be an online context) and describe what aspects of yourself are the same and what aspects of yourself are different across each context. (Possible contexts include: school, sports team, home, Facebook, World of Warcraft,GTA) Provide at least 4 examples using specific examples.)

My identity in school is quite different from myself because I think that I am talkative and active when I’, at home, but when I come to school, I become quiet and many of my classmates and teachers think that I’m not that active. Also I think my identity in Facebook is similar to myself because Facebook is a place where you express yourself and post what you really think on line. Lastly, I am different as a chef to myself because I find myself confident and excited when I cook than when I study something else.

2. What are some benefits to being different online? (Give at least 3 examples - use real life situations)

One benefit of being different online is that you can express yourself in any way.For example, some people make rumors based on things you post online and make fun of them. If no one know who you are there wouldn’t be people talking about the real you. Also some companies might judge you by things you post online. If you want to post how you feel, but is worried about how your boss or the person you’re being interviewed by would see you, being different online can help. Lastly, information that can be used against you can be prevented. Some personal information can be hacked by others, but being another person will help to prevent it.

3. When might being different online be a problem? Who might it be a problem for?  (Give at least 3 examples, scenarios, and things you may have encountered).

There are some problems  of being different online. I think it would be a problem for your friends. There is a real life experience that I heard which was about a girl who used a fake identity to make another friend talk on their back to make them apart. Also it can give harm to strangers. People who try to be honest can be disappointed if they realize that they’ve been tricked. Lastly, it would bring conflict between parents. Parents usually don’t like their children posting personal information so it wouldn’t be beneficial.

   The first video we saw was an advertisement from PANTINE. It was about men being neat if they wash, dedicated if they work until it's late, or . However, words such as, bossy, vain, selfish and more violated words to explain women. I think this connects to the society because women are sometimes treated unfairly. Some companies tend to reject women if they want to be hired or give them lower pay. The second video we saw was about a woman who worked at Google that was in charge of security. There weren't many women who had jobs related to coding or computer programs. This connects to identity because, even though some people see you as a person who isn't interested in those, you might be really passionate about it.

My Identity ISFJ

ISFJs generally have the following traits:

• Large, rich inner store of information which they gather about people
• Highly observant and aware of people's feelings and reactions
• Excellent memory for details which are important to them
• Very in-tune with their surroundings - excellent sense of space and function
• Can be depended on to follow things through to completion
• Will work long and hard to see that jobs get done
• Stable, practical, down-to-earth - they dislike working with theory and abstract thought
• Dislike doing things which don't make sense to them
• Value security, tradition, and peaceful living
• Service-oriented: focused on what people need and want
• Kind and considerate
• Likely to put others' needs above their own
• Learn best with hands-on training
• Enjoy creating structure and order
• Take their responsibilities seriously
• Extremely uncomfortable with conflict and confrontation

ISFJs have two basic traits which help define their best career direction: 1) they are extremely interested and in-tune with how other people are feeling, and 2) they enjoy creating structure and order, and are extremely good at it. Ideally, the ISFJ will choose a career in which they can use their exceptional people-observation skills to determine what people want or need, and then use their excellent organizational abilities to create a structured plan or environment for achieving what people want. Their excellent sense of space and function combined with their awareness of aesthetic quality also gives them quite special abilities in the more practical artistic endeavors, such as interior decorating and clothes design.
The following list of professions is built on our impressions of careers which would be especially suitable for an ISFJ. It is meant to be a starting place, rather than an exhaustive list. There are no guarantees that any or all of the careers listed here would be appropriate for you, or that your best career match is among those listed.

Possible Career Paths for the ISFJ:

Interior Decorators

Designers

Nurses

Administrators and Managers

Administrative Assistants

Child Care / Early Childhood Development

Social Work / Counselors

Paralegals

Clergy / Religious Workers

Office Managers

Shopkeepers

Bookkeepers

Feeling On Display Lesson 4

Identity Questions:

1. Why do people take on different identities at different times and in different places?

People see you differently depending on the times and places because you act differently. When you are with your friends online and when you are with your parents, you can be react differently.

2. How does this reshaping of our identities resemble or differ from deception and misrepresentation? For example, when we play a part on stage in a play, is that the same thing as lying?

I think it differs from deception and misrepresentation because, even though you act differently toward other people, it is still a part of yourself. You don’t change that attitude when you are with a certain person.

3. What if we play a fictional character in an online game?

In this case, I think that it resembles deception and misrepresentation because, you can hide who you are, for example, your age and name online.

4. What if we represent ourselves as someone we are not in an online discussion list?

This is also deception and is misrepresenting themselves because your identity isn’t clearly shown to others.

5. Is withholding information about yourself the same thing as deception?

Yes, because you are not showing who you really are, and there is a possibility that you can decept others.

6. What if other people form false assumptions about who you are? At what point should you respond to or correct those misperceptions?

If the false assumption is serious and can be used against you, you should respond to correct them.

7. Do you know people who take on “fake” or alternative identities in online spaces? Why do people do this?

There are people that claim that they are celebrities and make false rumor. I think they do these do get attention or try to be social with other people online.

8. Is it ok to play with identities online? What are the limits?

I don’t think that it’s okay to play with identities because it would can confuse others. The limits are you should’nt use a real person’s identity.

9. What are the benefits of identity play for young people? What are the drawbacks?

The benefits of identity playing for young people is that they can be free to express themselves and look better to others. The drawback is that there can be false assumptions.

10. Why do parents and other adults become concerned when young people take on alternate identities? To what extent are their concerns valid?

Parents and adults become concerned when young people take on alternative identities because they know that it’s wrong to be dishonest online and would be worried that it would become a habit.

Your Identity Map and Questions For Homework

Written reflection in Blog and Post to Moodle (Feeling On Display Lesson 4 Homework).  Remember MLA formatting.

1. What does the word “identity” mean to you?

Identity means how you think of yourself.

2. Were you surprised at how many different identities you have?

I didn’t know that we can have many identities as long as we wanted to, so I was surprised.

3. Imagine that people you know from the classroom (students or teachers) encountered you in the online space you identified. What do you think would be most surprising to them about how you perform identity and why? What if someone from the online space encountered you in the

classroom?

I think they would think that I’m quiet even online, but it’s not like that always.

4. How might you change your behavior if you knew your teacher or classmates were watching?

I think I would be more careful about what I post and respectful to others online.

5. If you decided you wanted to change your identity in the classroom, would this be difficult?

Yes, it would be difficult because there is was way how others saw you for a while and it would be hard for them to think differently about who you are.

Choose 1 and write about it:

The New York Times blog post, “For Teenage Girls, Facebook Means Always Being Camera-Ready” (www.parenting.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/03/07/for-teenage-girls-facebook-means-always-being-camera-ready). Students should recognize that this article was written from the perspective of a parent. Students should

explore, from a teen’s point of view, what they agree with and what they don’t.

Or Choose this one.

http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2013/11/selfies-are-art/281772/

What are selfies? Do you consider selfies to be art?  Why or why not?

Selfies are pictures of your self, but there are more meanings to it than that. These days, selfies are being considered as a work of art and a self portrait. It can’t be defined as good or bad directly, but it depends on what you do with your selfie(Berlatsky). I don’t consider selfies to be art because some people just post them to brag, think that they’re pretty or cool, express their feelings or just for fun. They are uploaded for trivial reasons, so it can’t be considered as art in my perspective.

Luis Identity Questions

“Sample Identity Map: Luis” answer these questions.

Questions:

• What roles does Luis play (brother, son, student, mentor, citizen) and what are some of the activities and tools he uses in performing those roles?

Luis is a good son to his family, he  helps his mother prepare for dinner or helps her on  technology problems.,and he take his brother to his school and plays with him. He uses YouTube for his family members. As a student   he uses CNet and helps elementary school students in Lego Robots. He also made videos about his community.

• What responsibilities does Luis have to each of these contexts?

He has responsibilities of being a good son and brother, helping students on after school programs, being responsible for his study in school, socializing with friends and being helpful in his community.

• Are there moments when those responsibilities are in conflict? If so, what steps does he take to resolve those conflicts? (See, for example, the concerns raised by his family about the amount of time he spends in his after-school program).

To resolve the conflicts, he helps with his mother and tries to be a good brother, so that his mother doesn’t worry much about his time in the after school programs.

• How does he structure his time so that he is able to meet each of those responsibilities?

He wakes up early and checks his mail , then drops his brother to school,  studies in school  and presents, goes to after school program, researches his community and helps his mother watch videos when he comes home.

• What steps does he take to integrate aspects of his cultural identity across these various roles and contexts (for example, the film shows him producing videos that speak to aspects of his Mexican-American background)?

• Luis speaks Spanish in some contexts and English in others. How does this shape his identity in each space?

With people that he knows well or his family, he speaks Spanish and with others he speaks English.

• What aspects of his personality are most visible as we watch him interact in these different spaces (for example, being more serious or playful)?

I think that his playful personality is visible in spaces with his friends, after school programs and with his family members. He clowns around with his brother and checks his mail and socialize with his friends on Facebook.

• Are there other things he changes about himself (for example, dressing differently for his public presentations than he dresses at home)?

He speaks with his mother and plays with his brother at home, but when he goes out to school ,helps children on their Lego Robots or when he presents to public, he seems more calm and professional.

• Luis mentions how multitasking allows him to do multiple things at the same time. Does it also allow him to adopt multiple identities at the same time?

I think that it does allow him to adopt multiple identities at the same time because, he might be different to his friends online than how he acts at home watching YouTube with his brother or mother.

Feeling On Display Homework 1

Essential Question: Are girls and boys judged differently when they post photos online?

Homework  - Please post to your blog and then post to Moodle for full credit.

Please use MLA format and use  information from sources to back up your claims.  Include a Works Cited page.

A. Please  reflect in writing on one of the questions, using your  online blog (200-300 words)

1. Are people aware of their online images? Do they try to make themeslves look certain ways? Why or why not?

I think that people are aware of their online image because the internet is a space where you can be someone you want to be and people just look at the way you are since they don’t face each other. Also, people judge each other  more online because they know that there is a “wall” to protect them so it makes us more aware of the pictures we post online.  Most people also try to make themselves look better and as if they had a lot of friends by taking pictures they think that it would make them look cool.  Girls take pictures of themselves like making a “duck-face” or make their bodies look good so that they would give a good image online.

2. Do we have different expectations for how girls and guys should look or act online? If so, where do we learn these attitudes? If not, why not?
3. How aware are you of how you comment on other people’s photos? Do you think this differs for guys and girls?

B. Analyze the marketing messages on ProfilePictures.com (www.profilepictures.net/profilepictures), and the extent to which certain messages are targeted more to women or men. Encourage students to reflect on the extent to which people “market” themselves on social network sites. Is marketing a brand or product different than marketing yourself to others? (One paragraph).

The ProfilePictures.com is basically about  paying money to make your  profile picture look good. There are ways to make your body, hair, skin and even your face to look better. I think that this is targeted to both men and women because not only women care about how they look on line, but men also do. There is sort of a stereotype that women are really careful about posting online pictures to seem better, but I think that men also want to look good too. I also think that the concept of marketing a brand or product isn’t much different than marketing yourself to others because when people market a brand, they appeal it to the buyers in a good way, so that would buy the product. We make our profile pictures look better, so that we others won’t judge us in a bad way.

C. Read this article:

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/19/science/a-cold-war-fought-by-women.html?smid=fb-share&_r=0

What is the media's role in creating this problem of perception?  Who is responsible for creating the way men and treat one another according to the article? (Hint: Is it the media or is it something else?  Cite your source). How YOU propose we go about changing these perceptions about women and society in general?   (100-200 words).  

According to this article, it says Christopher J. Ferguson and other researchers say that it’s mainly the result of competition with their peers, not media images. “Sexual competition among females seems to increase due to circumstances that tend to be particularly common in affluent societies,” Dr. Ferguson said. (Tierney) Women compete with each other and makes other women who has better physical appearances to them, as their target. I think that people should try to change the perceptions about society and women. It will pressure them because they are expected to act in a way we made.

Final Reflection

Digital Citizen

19 November 2013

1. What are three ideas, concepts, or skills that you have learned or that Digital Citizen has made you think about so far? Please provide specific examples.

              I saw  a video in Digital Citizen about this fortune teller that met random people but knew every information about them. At first it looked real and was actually amazed, but it turned out that the fortune teller only did some research from the internet. I learned that I need to be more be careful on line. I also learned about MLA format. I didn't know that every sources need to be sited and give credit to the person who owns it. Note taking skills are also what I learned. Using cornell notes were useful for summarizing and organizing information.

2. Please select at least 3 items that you completed and that you would like to discuss for the teacher/parent conference.  Describe why you chose each item and what you specifically learned about yourself and why this item/piece/video etc made you proud. You might want to go back to Moodle and choose some written work or videos or some reflections in your blog. Make sure to provide the exemplar (if possible) in your blog to show.

1. Presentation.

I wasn't really the kind of person who speaks out in front of class, but because of the presentations, I got to communicate with other students and share ideas. I also think that I got more courage to express my thoughts. 

2. Evaluating reliable sources

Sometimes I didn't know what kind of information on the internet was credible and just used all the information. This skill helped me to use good information for not only Digital Citizen, but it can be applied to any class assignments.

3. Safely using the internet

I chose this because we use the internet often and we need to know how to use it safely. I got to look back at myself by searching for pictures I posted that would be used against me. 

3. What did you choose to present for your final presentation? Why? What did you learn about your company and idea? How does it relate to making the world better?

I chose the company NIKE for my final presentation. I thought that NIKE would give benefits to ISD because, there are many athletic students here and the sports equipment were old. I learned that NIKE has various products that are ergonomically made. Also, they make shoes from manufacturing waste. This would make the world better because, NIKE is phasing out dangerous chemicals from its products and if this is known to the world, by ISD partnering with NIKE, other companies would be aware of this fact, and would also try to take out dangerous chemicals.

4. What did you present about and what did you you learn about presentation skills? Cite examples from your own presentation.

I presented about NIKE. I learned about in-text citation. If it's a single sentence, the citation is in the period and if it's more than two, it should be outside the period. Also, the presentation slides need to be kept simple and clean, but deliver your core message at the same time. 

5. What did you learn about research? How did you know what information to trust?  What did you learn about MLA formatting?

To find reliable information, you need to find the publisher, copyright sign, and a recent date that had last edits made. Sources needs to be cited in the Works Cited page. 

6. What is your grade? What are your goals for this next semester? What do you want to focus on to become better? Why is this goal important to you?

97%, The goals for this semester is doing homework on time and doing my best on my assignments. I also want to focus on presentation skills. These goals are important because presentation skills would help in the future to tell my thoughts in an efficient way.

Reflection
1. What did you learn about yourself?
During the presentation, I realized that I was nervous, and I sometimes didn't speak confidently because I wasn't sure of myself. It would be better to be more prepared, so that I know what I;m doing.
2. What did you learn about presenting?
I learned that I need to have confidence during  my presentation and my voice needs to be loud and clear. Also, the presentation slides need to be kept simple with visuals to catch the audience's eyes.
3. What did you learn about research and MLA?
I learned that I need to site all the sources in MLA format to give credit to the person who owns it. Also, the research needs to come from a credible site.

Lesson 8 Presentations

SUCCESS - What does this mean?  Click below and then answer the following questions:

http://heathbrothers.com/download/mts-made-to-stick-model.pdf

1. What is your core message?

ISD should partner with Nike

2. What is unexpected about your presentation?

Most of the people doesn't know that there are various product and they are trying to over come forced labor.

3. Are you using clear language?  (Avoid using stuff, etc, or "things like that", or Ummmm.) Do you use clear language?

4. What evidence will you show to make it credible (believable)?  Will you start off with a statistic?  Will you have a quote?  Will you show a statement from an authoritative figure?  (You should have at least 5 sources in your Works Cited and everything you put in your works cited should be said during your presentation.)  List them here.

5. Emotional appeal?  What is in your story or presentation that will move your audience to want to know more or act on what you are saying?

There are some parts in the presentation about how Nike will effect ISD and how it will give benefits to us. I think since the audience are ISD students, they would try to relate to them more.

6. Story - Is your story interesting and motivating?  If it isn't now is the time to fix it.

Please read this site and it will help you with the above questions:  http://www.presentationzen.com/presentationzen/2010/04/index.html

and pick out at least two (2) items that may enhance your own presentation.  List two specific items that you learned and how you can enhance your own overall presentation.  This can include your story, your slides, your delivery, tone. You don't have to watch everything but there should be some items that you will find interesting and engaging. 

1. After watching 'the Girl Effect' I thought that I can enhance my presentation by making my slides simple, but with visual effects that can catch the audience's eyes.

2. The PSA: Don't drink yourself fat contained unexpected visualization and I thought that my presentation should make people curious about the topic. Also I learned that it would be better if my story was more straightforward and the message was delivered well.

Lesson 6 In-Text Citation and Story Script

How will I use In-text citation in my story?
-Cite all sentences
-Include the first piece of information from the works cited entry for the in text citation
-Include the citation after the last sentence that presents that information
-Include the information either in the sentence or in the parentheses
-If a specific page number is relevant, include it in the parentheses

What is the difference between citing a sentence or two?

-In single-sentence references, include the parenthetical reference within the punctuation mark.
ex) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDCP) reports that :cigarette smoking is the leading preventable cause of death" in the United States and that it kills over four hundred thousand people per year ("Smoking & Tobacco Use: Fast Facts").

-In multi-sentence references, include the parenthetical references outside the punctuation mark.
ex) Since they began to appear in 1992, smokefree laws in workplaces, restaurants, and bars have increased to over four hundred. As of July 2010, twenty-three states have passed these laws, and many other municipalities outside those states have followed suit. Now, these laws protect the last majority of Americans. ("Smokefree Lists, Maps and Data")

Story Script

During P.E., when we go into the P.E. room, what do you notice first? I'm guessing many of you would be imagining the various sports equipment. There are certain times when we exercised with the equipment and I realized that they were old and thought it could be replaced with brand new ones. The company I thought of was Nike. I would like to share my research about how it would benefit ISD if they hold hands.
First, Nike provides safe products. Nearly 85 percent of the footwear manufacturing waste is now diverted from landfill or incineration through recycling and other efforts("Nike Value Chain"). There was a way to solve this problem. The manager of Nike said "Nike is phasing out dangerous chemicals in its products and non-water-based adhesives from its shoes"(Jones). Also they have high quality. Their ergonomically designed TKD protective equipment means they have studied they way in which you move and ‘sculpted’ each piece of equipment to make sure they fit perfectly and work in sync with your body movements. Each piece is comfortable and practical whilst keeping you safe("Protective Equipment)
Now you would be thinking that even though they have good quality, why would Nike benefit ISD if they give a bad image about illegal labor they were accused of? There is a solution to this problem. A factory in Indonesia that makes sneakers for Nike has agreed to pay about $1 million in overtime to 4,500 workers, under a settlement between a workers' union and factory management. Nike released a statement saying it “commends the factory on their action plan and efforts to correct inadequacies in current policies designed to protect the rights of workers.("Nike to Pay Indonesian Workers $1 Million") Also, there was a report that explained Nike's solutions to the problem and also provides a chart listing the ages and wages of its workers(Jones). Nike thinks that it was their biggest mistake about forced labor and are trying out various solutions to prevent it from happening again.
Nike’s sports equipment provide advanced quality and has solutions for forced labor, so it would give benefits to ISD.

Multitasking (MLA)

Amy Jung
Mr. Zane Dickey
Digital Citizen B5
31 October 2013

Problems of Multitasking While Studying

Many students, including me, get distracted by other things while studying. For

example, it became a habit of chatting on Facebook or

texting on cellphones while doing homework. This can give a bad impact on

students. There were experiments to prove this right. For a quarter of an hour,

the investigators from the lab of Larry Rosen, a psychology professor at

California State University–Dominguez Hills, marked down once a minute what

the students were doing as they studied. Although the students had been told at

the outset that they should “study something important, including homework,

an upcoming examination or project, or reading a book for a course,” it wasn’t

long before their attention drifted.(Slate) This experiment was like a 'New

Marshmallow Test', students are easily attracted to watching television or

texting while doing their work. Then why does this cause negative influences on

students?

 David Meyer, a psychology professor at the University of Michigan who’s studied

the effects of divided attention on learning, takes a firm line on the brain’s

ability to multitask: “Under most conditions, the brain simply cannot do two

complex tasks at the same time. It can happen only when the two tasks are both

very simple and when they don’t compete with each other for the same mental

resources.(Slate) This means that when students multitask while doing their

work, the materials they learn aren't fully in their memory than when they

concentrate.

 Also, multitasking effects grades. Researchers are beginning to demonstrate

that media multitasking while learning is negatively associated with students’

grades. In Rosen’s study, students who used Facebook during the 15-minute

observation period had lower grade-point averages than those who didn’t go on

the site.(Slate)

 Banning multitasking for good would be hard to achieve. However, if other

people like, teacher or parents tell them that they should concentrate on their

work, the problem would be able to decrease.

Self Reflection- Presentation

I presented about 'How to Use the Internet Responsibly". I did it in the google presentation, there were benefits about it, like, it saved the information right away. However, it depends on the internet so if it's too slow, the slide doesn't go well. It happened to me, so it I thought I should use powerpoint next time. Also, I think I should make more eye contact and be more enthusiastic. Additionally, I would like to be more prepared next time.
