Growing Up Online Reflection Koffi

Posted by Afi Koffi in Technology - Freshman - Hull - b2 on Tuesday, January 12, 2016 at 7:16 pm

In class we watched a video called Growing up Online
The show was about the internet and its effect on technological advancement, education, and people, especially our generation
The most memorable thing about this show was the individual stories of each teen that seemed really different but were actually quite similar in some ways. For example, Sara and Ryan Halligan, two very different teens with two very different stories, both turned to the internet for solace. Unfortunately neither of them found positive outlets online. In fact the internet may have made their issues worse.
Shows like this are important because it is crucial that problems, like the ones discussed in the show, don't go unnoticed or forgotten. Instead these problems should be addressed and possibly solved.
To keep my family safe online I would make sure that rules and norms are understood from the beginning. Norms about behavior online will be clear and precise
I think that it's important to make sure that family is safe online because my family's well being is important to me. I wouldn't want my family to be unhappy or to feel threatened. Safety in real life is clear so internet safety should be too.
I would tell those parents to show their children shows like Growing up Online. The effects and consequences of abusing the internet should be made known to their kids

Growing Up Online Reflection- Kiah Johnson

1. In class, we watched a show called Growing Up Online.

2. The show was basically a documentary about kids that grew up on the internet and they had some difficulties with having it. The show then told a lot of the kid's stories of them being on the internet, showing the affects of their decisons, teaching the audience how one decision can hurt them in life.

3. I think the most memorable thing about the show was the story about the little boy who killed himself because of the group chat he was in. In the group chat he went to look for advise from these people, and he trusted them, but they totally betrayed his trust and they ended up responsible for his murder. This speaks to me because I know that sometimes life gets really hard, and we often want to kill ourselves, but it really isn't the answer. It reminds us that if we need help we should go to our parents and don't go to anyone else because we can't always trust the online world.

4. I think it is very important for people to watch these shows because it tell others how and what could happen to them if they aren't too careful of what they are doing online. It will remind them that they can get hurt, bullied, and they might cause thoughts of suicide because of what others have said.

5. I believe I would teach my children to be safe online by just warning them of what could happen, but I will not block anything from them to make sure I can see if I can trust them. If they don't follow the rules and they end up breaking them, I would start to just inform them more about what could happen, but just a lot more detailed of the consequences.

6. I think it is important for someone to talk to their family about internet safety because if they ever get into trouble, and they themselves don't know how to get out of it, their parents can step into the situation and help them with it. Not many people would help them with it, but their parents care about them deeply enough that they will help them.

7. The advise I would give to other parents is: Don't block them from stuff, because they will never learn. When they make those mistakes, catch them, inform them about the affects of doing it. After that, you must let them make their decisions until they come to you for help, unless the situation is unbearable in your eyes.

Growing Up Online Reflection - Bostani

Posted by Majo Bostani in Technology - Freshman - Hull - b2 on Tuesday, January 12, 2016 at 12:43 pm

In class, we watched two episodes of the PBS TV show "Frontline". The show documented how kids and parents have to be smart about what they get into online, since they are online almost all of the time. Another main idea is to highlight purposes for technology. The most memorable thing from this show is how pilots stationed out of a local Air Force base can fly drones half way across the globe and kill America's main enemies. I find that really impressive. I believe that it is important to watch these kinds of shows because it helps people keep their minds open to things. To keep my descendants safe online, I won't be an online tyrant. I'll make them accept my friend/follow requests on social media, and will be on guard through that. I believe that kids don't go around looking for trouble online, so I decided not to be totally annoying and on top. It's important to talk to your family about internet safety as it is almost a tool essential for survival, and just like any tool it's essential to know how to use that tool. A piece of advice I'd give to parents is to let your kids be active online. They won't learn from stuff if they don't make mistakes!

The TV show that we watched was an education program.

1.The show was about young people and how the internet is affecting them.

2. I feel that the most memorable thing about the show for me was the part that talked about the kid who committed suicide. For me, it was really powerful. I think that that situation explains how the internet can sometimes let things go too far.

3. I think that it is important to watch these shows for people to better understand how we use the internet. Many adults do not understand what the internet means to us. Also, it is important for people to be aware of how the internet can affect people.

4. I plan on keeping my future family safe online by teaching them from a young age how to behave on the internet. I plan on giving them my trust as well. My parents have always given me their trust so I do not give them a reason to not trust me and I feel that it works our best that way.

5. I think that it is important to talk with your family about internet safety because everyone should be educated about the internet. The more you know, the better. I think that if more people knew what and what not to believe about the internet, there wouldn't be so many people worrying about it.

6. I would tell parents to trust their kids. If you give them their trust, then they will be less likely to go against you since they would feel no reason to. My parents have done this and I feel that it works out really well for me. You can still monitor them if you feel the need to, but do not be overbearing.

2.The most memorable thing was how the army would recruit kids into the army because they played a lot of video games

3.This was important to watch in class so we know what might happen if we decide to make poor decisions like those kids and what the consequences might be.

4.Make sure there making smart choices on what they are searching and also make sure they are not posting anything that they might regret later.

5.It is important to talk about internet safety with your family so they all have bright futures and can do what they love when they get older.

6.Do not give your kids a social media account until there older to understand how to post good.

From the critique of my slide, I was able to learn a little more about how people see billboards and what affects how they see them. I saw the things about my slide, as well as other's, that people thought were pleasant to the eye. I was able to see the things that people thought made a good sign/billboard. It was a very beneficial project, in my opinion at least, because the things we learned can also be applied to presentations in other classes.

To go about changing my slide, I took a lot of the critique that I got from the class, and applied it into the second version of my slide. I was able to darken my photo a little, by changing the gradient, and getting rid of the harsh line that separates the picture from the text. I also changed the spacing of my words on the side by putting them each in their own separate text box. By doing that, I was able to get almost-even spacing between each word. I saw how this did change how I viewed the slide, I personally think that even that small of a detail can make a rather large difference.

I learned from critic of my slide that I don't always need to insert my name. Also, I should take into consideration my audience too. If they can't read my slide or the don't like it I need to change it because the goal is to make your slide appealing. The only thing I actually changed was cropping the water mark from the bottom right corner of my illustration. I also took my name out because the way my slide was set up, it had no purpose being there.

I learned that a lot of effort goes into making something simple, and moving a word just a couple of centimeters would make a huge difference. I also learned that you cannot add shadows on google slides.

I kerned the word "Travel" by adding some small spaces between the letters to make the word bigger and easier to focus on. I moved the word farther away from the darker dots on the picture so that place wouldn't be unclear.

I think that I learned a lot from the critiques from the class. I saw things from a new perspective. I also saw how other people saw what I put out. I feel like this was a good experience because I had the chance to listen to other peoples opinion.

In my slide I got rid of the be happy at the bottem because it was unessesary. I also tried to fade away the blue lines on the sides.
