In tech class, we talked about digital citizenship. The picture I chose has a picture of a person typing with the caption "Being polite is the best when online". In the book lol...omg, we talked about many cases where people made terrible mistakes while online. While online, politeness is essential. If a person isn't, they could make a serious mistake and regret it later. 

The reason why I choose this picture is because it has a deep message. In tech class, I learned about cyberbulling and the affect of it. People are offend by this type of message and they wanted to reaction in bad way. However, if people ignore these type of message, there would not be as many problems. When the bully realize that there bother you any more.

Everyone should think before they post. People do a lot of things online that get them into trouble. For example the girl posted the video about Asians expecting it to be funny but it really wasn't. If she thought about it and everything she said in the video she would have noticed that it isn't funny. When people think before they post they can ensure their post is respectful and responsible.

In tech this year we have learned that the internet is a very open place. We saw many examples of workers fired from their jobs and people not getting accepted to schools because of their tweets. This means that anything you do on it can come back to hurt you in the future. I chose this image because it seemed very natural and basic, and I think that blended well with the technology aspect of the caption. I also chose it because it follows the rule of thirds and looks nice.

I choose this picture because If someone is bullied they always think that it is their fault that they are getting bullied  but it is not.  

What was the purpose behind my project? The purpose was for people to find out who I am as a person. Besides the basics that I tell people in school who think they know me, nobody really knows except 2 of my closest best friends. I had hoped to learn how to become a better writer. I did learn how to become a better writer too. I learned how to describe myself in ways that I wasn't sure I knew how to. I feel that my project was successful. I definitely will keep up with writing on my blog because this was actually really fun.  

The purpose behind my project is for people to get to know more about myself. Some people just know basic things about me, but they don't know my friends and what I like. I used to Stupeflix online video maker and that helped me learn more on how to use that. That was what I wanted  to learn to use. I feel as though my project was really successful. I think I covered the purpose of making this video. I HOPE YOU ENJOY!

The purpose behind my project was to create a simple game using simple coding. While doing this project I hoped to learn how to create a game for the computer and to learn a beginner level of coding. I learned both of those things during the time that I worked on the project for Quarter 2. I think that the project was very successful because it showed my advancements in coding during my short time at this school

The purpose behind the project:

I chose this picture because it shows a girl crying on her knees.  This could be her reaction to sending something online that she did not mean, and she can't take back. This may have ended up ruining her reputation or even her life.  This could also happen the other way around.  She could have received something that was really upsetting by someone who did not think before they sent it.  She may now be feeling really sad or even depressed.  

"LGBT youth experience cyberbullying 3x the rate as straight youth."​I chose to use this image because it depicts a character named Felix Dawkins from the BBC television show Orphan Black, who is a homosexual male. This correlates to my message about how LGBT youth are significantly more affected by cyberbullying than that of cisgender and heterosexual youth because of this character being homosexual and facing occasional homophobia in the show. My goal with this ten-worded message was to inform people about how much oppression and hate LGBT people face in comparison to other people on a daily basis, especially when it comes to being online and cyberbullying. There are many ways that a homophobic person can affect an LGBT adolescent which would simply not affect or be a worry for heterosexual or cisgender youth. This includes various forms of profanity and extremely offensive and disgusting slurs, as well as there being a higher risk of suicide or self injury as a result of homophobic cyberbullying. I wanted to convey this message because I have had several experiences with this form of hate (cyberbullying and homophobia/transphobia) and would like to inform as many people as possible about the affects it can have on youth - young adolescents who are still growing, developing, and forming their own opinions on the world and themselves.

​​The image I chose represents something that can be a result of cyber-bullying. Cyber-bullying can have many effects on the victim of it. Some of the effects include long-term depression and low self-esteem. Those effects may lead up to the suicide of the victim of the cyber-bullying. The suicide that the victim executed would be, en-turn, your fault since you were the one who bullied them enough to drive them to make that decision. Suicide is something that is on the minds of those who are and are not being bullied. You don't want to cause that death would you. The blood of the victim would be on your hands and there is no way you could ever get there lives back. So the message I am trying to convey with this image is that with every hurtful word that you type to someone they most likely will take what you said to heart and cause them to feel dejected. Then that feeling of dejection might lead them to make drastic decisions regarding their lives. So don't say or do mean things over the internet please, unless you want to trow away their life in which is being held in your hands. 

I chose this image because I feel like this is something my audience can relate to while I explain the moral. I also, picked this image becuase Elvis was somebody who was assumed to be happy since he was wealthy and a celebrity but tthis may have not been true behind close doors. Simply, I picked this image because of the way it caught my eye compared to all other images related to my moral, and because his smile was sort of a sly it wasn't really conveincing that he was happy. Lastly, I chose this because Elvis wasn't such a great man he talent honored but he was disrespectful to blacks who may have pretended to be happy to meet him.
