“Parents sue school for role in 'sexting' tragedy

The article we read which was called “Parents sue school for role in 'sexting' tragedy is very sad. The worst part is thinking that the girl was our age. I could happen to any girls at our school or community. This article teaches us that we should not send picture of our self to anybody, no matter what. We never know where the pictures you send are going to end up. The worst part of the whole story is that she tried to look for help but nobody did anything about it. She went to the councilor and the only thing he did is tell the kids to delete all the pictures.


The school had the responsibility to reported to the police or do something about it. But its not the school fault that she committed suicide. The school is responsible for what goes on inside not what goes on outside. The school should have done something like inform the parents or punished the kids that send it. The parents should not sue the school. Its like if the school sues the parents because it was also the parent’s responsibility to see that something was going on with their daughter. I think that the parents instead of fighting to sue the school, why don’t they take their story to other high schools so it does not happen to other kids.

Facebook

I read the new security measure that Facebok implemented and I understand that we have the option of controlling what people can see and how much information we want to choose. They made this security so that people realize that all the information you put in Facebook is seen by everybody and that we have to be careful what we show. They are given an option to make our information better protected. This measure were made because Facebook started having problems that people use it for illegal things. Also people started making lawsuits. They made that measure to protect themselves from lawsuits. I think they are good but people if they don’t want to block some of their things it’s not going to change. You still can see each others age, sex and etc without restriction. The measures are going to make people more conscious of what they are putting on the web. It would not affect the way I use Facebook. The only thing that I change is that I checked the privacy mode of each thing. Change it so the information in my Facebook was more private.

There are some rumors that people are posting videos and other things about the school. I think that everything that happens outside of school is not the school problem. I think that the post of the quotes if it did not have the log and the picture of the director it would be corrected and in our right to do this. I think that we are free to do what we want to an extend. We have the right to post things if it does no have the log. I think it was wrong to put the logo of the school in the quotes. The quotes were not harmful. The school should face it and ask who did the quotes and explain to the school what is correct. But the school should not make it a big deal. The school should explain what is correct to do with does post and they should explain why its not correct to post the videos. I have not seen the video but I believe what happens outside is not the school problem. I still believe that posting videos of teachers is wrong and maybe the school can protect themselves from that.

Video idea

I am going to do a interview/ story of the life here at school. Erika Yamada we help me film it.

Or a cooking class. Cooking a cake.

Tecnology

At this school the technology is used mostly in computer class and doing projects like PowerPoint. In primary we did not do a lot of technology projects because there was no equipment to do it. I remember doing typing and computer games in the class but nothing that involved thinking about the evolution of the technology.

In High school we have done videos. We would make for example a video for Mexican Law. But normally those projects are edited and arranged by only one person. What counts on those projects is the content not how well you do the project. Some teachers like Mrs. Whitten used the smart board for about 2 years but then I think he got frustrated because the board started to brake and he was the only one using them. Two years ago teachers started using the projects which is good because the teachers can make the classes fun and show us different things. Also the notes that the teacher makes can be saved in a public places where the students can access it. I personally two years ago made a video about a trip I did to Africa for Student expo. It was a very good video but because it was different and have more technology that the school could handle it was a disaster. I did not have the support of the teachers.

I think that a lot of times the teaches should give us more option on how and where we what to present our project. For example the student expo should not be so limited we should be able to use technology. We the teacher gives us a project we should be able to use different technology. Also we do not use a lot of technology because we have no being expose to it.

Animation

The project was not so hard as I thought it was going to be because we did it in steps. at the end I think it was a good project because it concluded with all the skills. I think I could have done a better job at tracing and more tracing so it would look more realistic. I think you should do this project with the 12 graders but maybe make them do a simpler video so that they can trace it better. I you could change the concept to not have a ball but another thing.
