30 May 2014
I myself had experienced an incident where I was the target of a hate speech. It wasn't directly towards me, but it was about my race. A person on the internet took pictures of himself wearing abercrombie clothes and making his eyes smaller on purpose with his middle finger. It was to degrade Asians about their physical appearance and also their behavior. I remember feeling offended and disappointed by how others saw Asians.

Private Today, Public Tomorrow Lessons Learned
1. How can people’s reputations be affected by what is posted about them online?
For example, if someone had a positive and friendly image , but a picture of that person smoking or drinking was posted, many people would not only be shocked, but it would also affect the reputation.
2. What impact could this have on their future?
When a person is trying to apply for a college he or she wants to attend, their college admissions can be rejected if negative posts are found about them online.
3. What should you ask yourself before you post a photo, video, or other information about another person online?
1. Would I post this if my parents can see them?
2. Will it affect someone's reputation?
3. Will it concern other people?
4. Will it affect them in the future?
4.How can you take responsibility for protecting the privacy and reputation of others?
I can delete the pictures someone doesn't like immediately and should be able to ask myself if the isn't inappropriate.

celebrity caption/ interview
Neutral
Can you remember a time when something happened that made you embarrassed or angry because it affected your reputation? What happened?
-I remeber when I was angry, when I posted a picture with my friends online. Some boys in my class made fun of one of my friend in the picture about her physical features.

How did you respond to it?
-I couldn't actually comment directly to the harsh comments, but I tried to report to the cyber police.

7 May 2014
Almost every teenagers are interacting directly with culture, music, movies and even more around the world. In a video titled "Generation Like", Douglas Rushkoff, an american media theorist, writer, columnist, lecturer, graphic novelist, and documentarian talks about the social media and how the affect it gives to teens. Many parents were worried about their children becoming a part of the social media. However, it is not only the media that controls the teenagers, but also the companies and people need to be aware of what the companies do. There was another documentary about a similar topic in 2001, but compared to the students back then, the students now were far more sophisticated. A group of students were talking about the 'likes' they get on Facebook. They said that the more like you have the better you feel. The teenagers think that in has this 'empowerment' towards them. From the things people 'like' on Facebook, a lot of companies get benefits. They get to communicate with consumers more and they take them as money as the value goes up from the number of clicks they get. They also sponsor people that are famous on the internet to make money.
The three thing that I found interesting in this video was the attitude towards 'likes'. I was not a type of person who thought a lot about how many 'likes' I get on Facebook, until a few years ago when others began to be really sensitive about it. Second, that companies track your every move on the internet and supports you with the information you need, for example on Facebook when you like a brand, it gives you advertisements about it. Lastly, how the teenagers' reaction towards online figures were different from the past, for example like web celebrities.

Effective Note Taking 3 Lessons Learned

5 May 2014
In schools, there are students who use laptop computers to take their notes and those who take them by writing. However, there wasn't a research that compared these two methods, until a new study published in Psychological Science has attempted to answer this question.
The three things that I found that was interesting in this research was: First, the achievement of the students differed from the type of question they solved. The students that took notes longhand and with laptops showed the same results with factual recall questions, but in conceptual question, the longhand students were far more superior. Second, the students that wrote their notes longhand wrote fewer words and less verbatim transcriptions, but they scored better. Lastly, the researchers informed the students not to type verbatim notes, with the hope that this would negate the negative effect of using the laptops; but this verbal reminder proved to have no effect whatsoever on the students' performance. Also, the researchers gave the laptop students ten minutes to revise, but the results didn't change.(Neurobonkers)

Prominent Ed-Tech Players' Data-Privacy Policies
Attract Scrutiny
As media is developing more these days, privacy and personal
information is being an issue. This might seem like a trivial problem if you are
a kind of person that manages your personal information pretty well. However,
the information that is being released is actually things that you didn’t even know
about. Your every move, what you do on the internet and even your sexual and
medical problems are being sold to companies you never heard of. Students
should also be aware of online activities. Khan
Academy, which provides open instructional resources to 10 million unique
users per month, came under the sharpest criticism. Ms. Barnes, for example,
said the Mountain View, Calif.-based nonprofit's privacy policy allows for "almost
limitless" sharing of student information with third parties.(Herold)Recently,
another site named Edmodo, a Social learning platform, collects, uses,
and shares the "metadata" generated by students as they use the
platform, which can include server-log data, users' Internet Protocol
addresses, clickstream data, and more. On the other hand, Mr. Fine,
Edmodo's chief privacy officer, claimed that users' metadata is only
combined with their personal information for internal Edmodo use, and that the
company would only share with third parties aggregate metadata that it does not
consider to be personally identifiable.(Herold)

Empathy
Noun
ˈempəTHē
empathy
noun
the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.
1. In class we have discussed the definition of EMPATHY. Why is it important to understand someone else’s perspective?
-To get efficient solutions that are favorable with everyone and if we understand someone else's perspective, there wouldn't be misunderstandings.
2. According this article here empathy among college students is lower. Can you cite reasons the article provides as to what might be some reasons empathy is lower using your research skills of MLA format and in-text citation. You should include a Works Cited page.

Less Empathy Among College Students
According to an article from the University of Michigan, it claims that college students don't have much empathy as much as they used to. Compared to college students of the late 1970s, the study found, college students today are less likely to agree with statements such as "I sometimes try to understand my friends better by imagining how things look from their perspective" and "I often have tender, concerned feelings for people less fortunate than me."(Swanbrow) One reason suggested is because of social media. The recent rise of social media may also play a role in the drop in empathy, suggests O'Brien. "The ease of having 'friends' online might make people more likely to just tune out when they don't feel like responding to others' problems, a behavior that could carry over offline," he said.(Swanbrow)

Next, provide reasons why you agree or disagree with this article.
I agree with this article because I personally feel that media is causing the decrease of empathy. Everywhere we go, there are people looking inside their computers and phones. Some people even text to each other when they are in the same place or just sit in front of each other and do their own social networking. This wouldn't make people communicate, which would lead to the lack of empathy.
3. Does this test reflect your level of empathy? Why or Why not?
This reflected my level of empathy because at the end of the survey, there was a question where it asked if I have a license that allows my organs to be donated later when I die. I had no idea that someone can feel such severe empathy towards someone that they donate their organs.
4. Do you show empathy at home? If the answer is yes please provide examples and how this provides perspective. If the answer is NO then provide some strategies that you can use to be more empathetic at home.
-Yes, I show empathy at home by talking with my family about by current issues I have in mind and also giving advice to one another.
5. Do you show empathy in your digital citizen class as well as other classes? If the answer is yes please provide examples and how empathy provides perspective. If the answer is NO then provide some strategies that you can use to be more empathetic in Digital Citizen and your other classes.
-Yes I do. I show empathy by discussing my problems in school with teachers and also the things we covered in class. It provides perspectives because you get to share ideas about how others feel.
6. Do you show empathy outside of classes and outside of home? If the answer is yes please provide examples and how empathy provides perspective. If the answer is NO then provide some strategies that you can use to be more empathetic outside of classes and outside of home.
-Yes I show empathy by listening and trying to give good advise to my friends that ask for help. Also in online medias where I write comments to make friends feel better. Empathy provides perspective because if you try to relate to how others feel, it will actually make you think that you are experiencing it together.
7.Do you believe empathy is important? Why or Why not?
-Yes, I think that empathy is important because if everyone only thinks about themselves and how they would be affected, the world would be really selfish and people who really need help wouldn't be able to receive it.
8. How does Empathy relate to online cruelty/Cyberbullying? How does it relate to life?-Empathy relates to cyberbullying because people who lack empathy wouldn't feel bad about saying cruel things about others. Also people with empathy can become upstanders for the victims. This also can relate to life because empathy can be a crucial role in social life. People need to understand how others feel and look at different perspective to be helpful.

SNS Can Spread Moods
According to an article, it claims that online social networks can spread emotions globally. The researchers analysed the emotional content of the updates posted when it was a rainy day. They found that negative Facebook posts increased by 1.16% and positive posts decreased by 1.19% in response to gloomy weather(Study). What I found more interesting was that positive moods spreads faster. It boosted up an extra 1.75 positive posts. This means that people can see greater spikes in global emotion that could generate increased volatility in everything from political system to financial markets. (Study)

According to the article, there has been several cases about teenagers committing suicide due to the struggle from cyber bullying. There was a 15 year old Freshman named Phoebe that moved to a new school from Ireland. She seemed to adjust to her new school life well, but no one knew that she was tormented from being a victim of cyber bullying. Her fellow students said that it was because she was pretty and everyone was jealous. Meline Kevorkian, the author of "101 Facts About Bullying" told CBS News, "Cyber-bullying can be so dangerous because it can lead to cyber-mobbing, which means kids can come together to attack another kid, 24 hours a day, seven days a week." (Officials) Phoebe's case wasn't the end. Another teenage girl, 13 year old Megan was being cyber bullied on MySpace.

Brittany Jordan, a 17-year-old cyber-bullying victim, appeared on "The Early Show." Tina Meier, the mother of Megan Meier, also appeared on the broadcast. Tina is the founder of the Megan Meier Foundation. Jordan said Prince's story reminds her of how close she came to killing herself. Cyber-bullying, she said, turned her into a "totally different person." Jordan said she thought suicide was the only option because she'd been put down so much. Tina said parents should have open communication with their kids and know what they're doing on the computer. She said it's important to know if your children have a Facebook and MySpace account, or both. Jordan said kids should "know that they are loved and that people care about them, and they can make it through this." Tina added it's OK for kids to reach out to other people and talk about what they're going through. (Officials)

Google will 'know you better than your intimate partner'
Technology is developing faster and faster, but is this a good thing? Many people might think that the
development of computer, phones and even robots can bring benefits to the world because it can help us do
things that humans are limited to. However, in my point of view, I believe that if technology rapidly thrives, it
does not only cause problems, but it can also become a little "freaky". According to an article, in 15 years’
time, computers will surpass their creators in intelligence, with an ability to tell stories and crack jokes, predicts
a leading expert in artificial intelligence. Thus, Google will “know the answer to your question before you ask
it.”(Google) This means that even before we think, or say something, robots would read our minds and answer
them right away. This concept might seem futuristic and amazing, but on the other side, it is frightening to
know that robots are going to dominate the world. Google also purchased a number of robotic firms and are
developing military robots. Soon 'Robocops' would patrol our streets(Google). Many professionals in this
field say that these ideas are not exaggerated. Peter Norvig, Google's research director, commented
recently that the internet giant employs "less than 50 percent but certainly more than 5 percent" of the
world's top experts on machine learning(Google). Google will know you better than you partner in just a few
years.

As media developed over time, there were some positive sides like exchanging information quickly and efficiently. However, dark sides are also growing along with them. Now days, teenagers are using text messages as a weapon. Teenage "sexting" is becoming a serious problem in many places. Sexting is the practice of sending nude or sexually suggestive photos by cellphone(Koppel). This might seem like a trivial mistake some teenagers can make, but it can actually ruin a person's life. According to an article, an eighth grader named Margraite sent a nude photo of herself in the mirror to her new boyfriend, but they soon broke up and her boyfriend eventually sent her photos to all of his friends. It was tough for her so she had to find a new start in another school. “Having a naked picture of your significant other on your cellphone is an advertisement that you’re sexually active to a degree that gives you status,” said Rick Peters, a senior deputy prosecuting attorney for Thurston County, which includes Lacey. “It’s an electronic hickey.”(Hoffman) This issue of "sexting" is not only for teenagers, but also for some adults. Representative Anthony D. Weiner, a rising star in Democratic politics who many believed would be the next mayor of New York City, admitted on Monday to having had inappropriate online exchanges with at least six women, and repeatedly lying about sending a sexually suggestive photograph to a young woman over Twitter last month. “Over the past few years, I have engaged in several inappropriate conversations conducted over Twitter, Facebook, e-mail and occasionally on the phone with women I had met online,” Mr. Weiner said.(Barbaro) Sexting isn't just a joke, it is actually a serious crime. Oklahoma has proposed a law that would impose one set of penalties for "consensual" sexting between two people ages 14 to 18, but provide possible stiff jail terms for other types of teenage sexting. States will have to continue to tweak their criminal laws to cope with changing technologies, lawyers and legislators say.(Koppel)

1. The story was about sixteen year old Shalia and her boyfriend Jake. They have been dating for a month, but on a late school night they were staying up late texting each other. Jake asked Shalia to send him a nude photo of herself. The first ending to this story that I imagine is Shalia rejecting what Jake asked her to do. It would best for her to break up with him not only because he asked her such an extreme request, but from looking at this, he would ask her anytime and use it against her. For example, he might ask Shalia to send a nude picture if she didn't want to break up with him. It might be hard for a girls who is sixteen to break up with a boy she thinks she's in love with, but she would probably be relieved and think that it was the best decision she made as a teenager. Another way is to get advice or help from adults about what she should do or get consultation from professionals on the phone.
2. The second ending of this story is when she agrees to send him her nude picture. Shalia is only sixteen years old. She is too young to make up her mind about what would happen in the future, but she would only worry about the most trivial thing that she is about to face, which would be, upsetting her boyfriend. Shalia would send Jake her picture, just to give him satisfaction. However, after a small fight, they would break up and her boyfriend would spread her picture for a petty revenge or perhaps to brag and get attention. Soon, the whole school received her nude picture and there were bad rumors about Shalia. However, there isn't much to say about it because she made up her mind and it was her decision to send him the photo. Now, everywhere she goes, her picture would follow her and many people would look at her with stereotypes and Shalia would regret the moment she sent her photo.
