The Cost of Higher Education

Posted by Mary Hertz in TECH 1 - Hertz - e2 on Thursday, January 8, 2015 at 9:56 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.

Stop Cyberbullying

Posted by Daina Haughton in TECH 1 - Hertz - e2 on Wednesday, December 17, 2014 at 8:53 am

I chose this image because bullied victims are 2 to 9 times more likely to consider suicide than non victims according to the studies at Yale University. 10 to 14 year old may be at a even higher risk of suicide according to study in Britain. According to statistics from ABC news, nearly 30% of students are either bullies or victims of bullying, and 160,000 kids stay home from school everyday in fear of bullying. Cyber bullying can occur at any time and can be distributed to a wide audience very quickly. Stopping cyber bullying will reduce the death rate of a lot of teenagers.

My picture states that you should never let the internet control you. I know your like "well how can the internet control me"? When I say that I mean, it can control you by influencing you to post things that you wouldn't want someone to post about you. For example in the book,the girl posted a mean status about a culture that was really rude.I know if a person of that culture posted something about her that was mean she wouldn't like it. So, don't let the internet control you.

The picture I choose is supposed to represent us as teens in Philadelphia being discriminated against by our elders and people in society.We are automatically referred to as delinquents by elders and are assumed to be worthless teens

with no future, heading to prison. Because so many of us have been told this, we wear a

mask to cover up our true potential, to fulfill society’s expectations about us. We give into

stereotypes and become another proven statistic. We wear a mask hiding our intelligence,

talents and superior abilities just to fulfill society predictions for us. In school we are deprived of our education “the school to-prison pipeline is an epidemic that is afflicts teens in our city. Students are often suspended, expelled or even arrested for minor offenses. Students who are forced out of school for disruptive behavior are usually sent back to the cause of their anger and pain which are their home environments or their neighborhoods. These places are contained with negative influence. Those students who are forced into prison for minor offenses that really should just be a detention can now forget about their future. In our city rarely will you here about us receiving awards, or achievements. Rarely will you ever here that your former classmates are doctors, lawyers, engineers, that they actually became successful. I'm more likely to here that they ended up in jail, chained behind bars and vulnerable to society. When I here about a few of my former classmates who won academically achieving awards I am surprised more so than when I found it half of them already of a prison record now following them for the rest of their lives. School now a days hasn't even became a place where students learn. If we were actually founded properly and giving the right tools to actually develop knowledge students would want to be successful in school. If we don't feel as though no one else cares, why should we. Most schools don't even have funding for laptops and computers, Technology has become an outbreak for the future. How are we supposed to be successful in life if we can't don't even have the proper utensils that are pretty much mandatory for future triumph. Bound from success, deprived of our education, we fail.

We wear the mask....

This picture comes from a quote of a poem that I have read in English this year. "we wear the mask that grins and lies". I chose this picture because it describes something that often happens online. People hide behind a mask online to portray something they are not. Our whole unit in English was about defining our selves. Throughout tech we often wondered if we are a a good online citizen .

A Picture Is worth a Thousand Words.

In this picture I think back to the young girl in college who thought talking about the Asian people in her school library would be funny to share with some of her classmates. When the video went viral and she began receiving horrible messages from people all over after viewing her video she dropped out of college. She did not think before acting and she experienced how you might think something is funny and then it could come back to hurt you. Think about what your saying or doing before sharing it and making it permanent forever.

Which country has the most spamming problems?

Posted by Mukhtar Stones in TECH 1 - Hertz - e2 on Tuesday, December 16, 2014 at 7:17 pm

In this picture it shows a bar graph of most countries that experience spamming abuse. Out of all of the countries America has the most. I can see why because spamming is well known in america, people experience it all the time, they joke around about through email and text message. There are also Ads that constantly pop up. Things that talk about pregnancy, weight loss, tattoo removal, buy movies, or toys.

I choose this picture because it shows a example of what cyber bullying really looks like. Also, because it can spread awareness that stuff like needs to stop before some one else child is ready to hang their self, stab their self, cut their self, and take pills that are not suppose to be taking. Also, I choose this because cyber bullying is important and over half of adolescents and teens have been bullied online before.

I choose to use that as my first statement and picture that because I really thought it was important show what bullying can cause and how often kids are committing suicide.Most of it is cause from cyber bulling.The picture really gets that point across.From experience of losing and almost losing someone from committing suicide I thought it was important to show how many people commit suicide.With saying that when someone somebody is getting any type of bullied do something don't just stay and watch.Also, from experience being bullied and have everybody laugh in your face and add on to what the bully said watch and not do anything really hurts.

I also thought my statement and the picture really tells some of what we learn in the LOL OMG book.Adding too that making someone look down on themselves is really wrong,making feel like they did something wrong to deserve this.
