Digital Rights and Responsibilities

Objective

  Today I will research my topic and find 10 facts/behaviors I would like to educate my peers about to prevent an inappropriate digital footprint in their future.

Reflections

My project was on digital communication; rights and responsibilities. Digital communication is a way of communicating with other by using the computer, e-mail,  texting, IM, and many more. It is a good thing that we have these but when you use this you need to know about the rights and communication. Thats why I made my project. My project explains what they are and explains all of them.

Celebrities’ Behavior Gone Bad
            When people look in gossip magazines what do people normally look for? Yes, they look for the bad behavior of the celebrities’. It brings more attention to them rather than the good behavior of the celebrities’. Celebrities’ bad behavior is covered more in the news stories then positive behavior because it causes more drama and gossip, gets more publicity, and for people it is more interesting to learn about the mistakes of others.
            First, celebrities’ bad behavior is covered more in the news stories because they cause more drama and make more gossip. Their type of behavior causes a lot of drama and gossip. When they do something that is unexpected or out of the ordinary then, people start to talk, and that leads to gossip. Gossip of course always leads to drama. In October 7, 2008 Amy Larocca of MSNBC states that the reason we like to cause drama and gossip is because,” [People], as culture, are fascinated by gossip at the moment-the celebrity variety in particular.”
Guerrero 2
Secondly, the bad behavior of celebrities’ is in the news more often because it causes more publicity than good behavior. It gets more publicity because it is bad behavior and mainly because it is the bad behavior of famous people. Good behavior is okay but it is not as exciting as hearing about the bad things that celebrities’ do. Many people think that, “If [celebrities’] fate as a public figure depends on attention, the message is clear: the more [they] offend and shock public sensibilities, the more famous [they] will become” (Shippey 2010). It makes people have many questions and talk more so then the celebrities become more popular also.
            Lastly celebrities’ bad behavior is more interesting for people to learn about especially because it is others mistakes. Since it is others making the mistakes it makes people want to know about it more. People like watching others make mistakes. Many of the people think,” We may forget about our own while we are busy with pointing out and even severely publically scorning their bad morals, whatever sinful we may have experienced from them, and thus [the people] get a bit released, elated on our own while realizing that they are no better than ourselves” (Garonfolo 2007). It is entertaining for them one because it is someone else’s mistakes and two celebrities are famous people.
            Celebrities’ bad behavior is covered more in the news stories than positive behavior because it causes more drama and gossip, gets more publicity, and it is more interesting for people to watch others making mistakes. Good behavior compared to bad behavior is nothing. It’s just boring. Bad behavior is way more interesting. People nowadays only want to hear about the bad behavior and the mistakes of others, especially celebrities.

Evaluate

My rating of myself on a scale of 1-6:


INVESTIGATE:    
   For investigate I would rate myself a 5 out of 6 because I think that I could have maybe done a little better. I could have taken more time to investigate about flipbook and comic book.


PLAN: 
   For plan I think that I would give myself a 6 because I planned what I would do for my project. After all the research I gather what I had investigated and put it all together to help me plan.


DESIGN:
   I would give myself a 6 because I think that I made creative designs. I did all three designs and I took my time to think of all of them.


EVALUATE:
   I would rate myself a 5 out of 6 because I did find all my mistakes and I listed them. I also recorded what I did wrong, right and how I would make my project better.

Plan Questions

1. What idea did you choose to demonstrate the design cycle and why did you choose it?
         My idea was that I would make a flipbook to show the 6th graders how the design cycle works. I chose it because i wanted a little challenge for myself. I heard that flipbooks were hard to make so I wanted to create a flipbook about the design cycle.
2. Does your idea meet all of the requirements?
      I think that my idea does meet the requirements. it shows the investigate part, plan, design, and create part of the design cycle.
3. Use the story board paper below to plan your presentation.  Include how many levels you will have, what will be on each level, how will you include teaching skills to young students, and what will your questions be about.
story board.pdf found in schoology under “materials” & then files.
       I am going to use about 4o pages to make my presentation quick. It will be about a business man who wants to create a new toy and he comes up with am idea. He creates a survey for some little kids. then the kids give him their ideas and tell them what they like. He then makes a couple of designs. The business man uses the kids ideas and puts ideas puts them all together and creates a new toy.
4. Explain how you will use your time to get your project finished in 12 days:
     I will try to spend about 15-30 minutes a day working on my project. i will use that time to work on my blog, my post and on actually creating the project.
