  The Cost of Higher Education

Posted by Mary Hertz in TECH 1 - Hertz - a2 on Thursday, January 8, 2015 at 9:57 am
My infographic explains how expensive higher education is in the United States. I hope that people will see how hard it is for high schoolers to afford college and to see how our costs here in the United States compare with those of our neighbors, Canada and Mexico. I think it's important that people know how saddled young people are with debt when they graduate from college these days.

​I chose this picture because I thought it was something that I could have really wrote something about. Everyone says how apples are good for the body, so I said be good just like them, just online. The message that I am trying to convey with my slide is that you should be good online. Things you can do to accomplish this are not to bully online, do legal things, and have safe fun.

Walk Away

Posted by Jordan Lewis in TECH 1 - Hertz - a2 on Thursday, December 18, 2014 at 1:34 pm

"Just Walk Away" 
I chose these words to highlight how easy it is to avoid cyber bullying. People tend to suffer from cyber bullying for long periods of time when it really isn't that hard to close it out and walk away. They could simply close the program or shut the laptop because there is a large variety of things to do other than be on social media. This picture symbolizes the phrase because in the picture the man has his back turned and is walking away. This is what I think people should do because it is a very simple way to avoid the extra stress that cyber bullying adds on to peoples lives. Also because I think it's better to spend time with family or friends in person rather than sit on social media.

Think Before You Type.

I chose this quote because people commonly say things they didn't mean to say on social media. Also, if someone sends out a tweet or makes a post on Facebook, they don't really know whether or not someone would be offended by it. I decided to put a keyboard because it applies to the quote & it's simple. I also chose the picture because it's somewhat dramatic (ha) & it adds onto the drama of the quote. Finally, this is a good message because a lot of things are started online that don't need to be started, just because of a misunderstanding.

A Picture is Worth A Thousand Words

Posted by Saraa Fadl in TECH 1 - Hertz - a2 on Thursday, December 18, 2014 at 12:12 pm

"Pulling someone down will never help you reach the top." I chose this image because it suits a quote that picked that relates to cyberbullying. This quote relates to cyberbullying because i think that cyberbullies or any type of bully tend to put someone down so that they could feel better about themselves. To explain, usually bullies are people who are insecure about something and they want to take it out on people who are a weak target. But, really in the end the bullies are the ones who are getting punished for their actions instead.

LGBT youth experience cyberbullying 3x the rate than straight youth

"LGBT youth experience cyberbullying 3x the rate as straight youth."
Jack Kleiner
​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.

Hurtful things you do behind a screen travel beyond it.

Posted by Epifanio Rios in TECH 1 - Hertz - a2 on Wednesday, December 17, 2014 at 5:29 pm

​​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.

Choose & Post Wisely!

​These days social media profiles are something many recruiters look into before hiring their employees. However, many people fail to understand that whatever they may be posting on their social media accounts can impact them in a negative manner. The image I chose represents the message I am trying to convey, which is: keep track of what you do online as it can be harmful to you later on. Many times people want to post pictures of them smoking, drinking, or anything which is negative. However, it can cause a bad impression on the company you are working for and the company does not want to hold a bad reputation. This leads to the person posting those things being fired. Being fired is not something fun and delightful, it can cause financial troubles. So, the message in this picture is that many recruiters, search you on social media platforms before hiring you. They see your previous and current activities on your profile to determine if you are worthy of the job. So, if the recruiter notices something "unsafe" they will not give you the job. Now, this applies to people who are already employed in the company as well. Recruiters often hire people to keep track of your activity on social media platforms, to know if you are causing the company to hold a bad reputation. In addition, even colleges look at your social media profiles before admitting you to their college. In conclusion, ​your online reputation may cause problems for your future career, so choose and post wisely as nothing is private online.

Don't judge a Cube by its Color

​ When we look in the mirror we see our reflection and to some people its not good enough. So we all need to learn how to accept what we see because it will never change.  45% of young people experience bullying before the age of 18. 30% of people have gone to self harm because of bullying. I chose this picture because the mirror is the number one struggle for children because it hurts their self-esteem. We all want to be like some one else but we try to change our flaws to be like that but end up being worst.

​I chose this image because it gives this metaphorical vibe to it with tracks in the sand going into the water. Saying that everything you do their are tracks left behind for people to follow. The message I was trying to convey is post responsibly because you never know who is looking at what you post so post smart and responsibly.
