Don't Like wrighting about these but here it goes

It is a very sad story but if we trace the steps to the beginning it was her fault. No one ever forced the girl to send those pictures. It wouldn't be wrong to say that the ex boyfriend was a complete #$%&^ by doing that to the girl that used to love him, but I beleive that the girl should have thought more before sending the pictures.

The parents shouldn't try to sue the school. The only thing the school can do is expel the ex boyfriend who is the one that started the madness. Other than that there is no one else to blame or other actions to take because it would probably include all the boys from that high school. The parents say that the school used have taken the issue more seriously and apply tougher rules but what would it change all the students had seen the picture. I actually think its sad, parents trying to make money out of their daughters death.

Video

Wow I believe this is the best project we will do in all year. I would like to edit a kite boarding video of me but since there is no wind I will have to think of something else. The first thing that pops to my head is a wake boarding video. The basic things that I would like to learn how to edit on it are the music, slow motion, and maybe some color changing visuals that go with the music or something like that. I beleive that I will get either Diego or Ruslan to shoot the video cause I always go wakeboarding with either of them.

Facebook new rules and involvement with school

I would say the new implementations are good because the less we know about each other the better. I would say they were created for pure security and because some people were not happy with how easy gossip was spreading because of facebook. There is no reason for them no to be successful because the modifications were obviously done according to the necessity of the majority of the users. I believe this won´t affect the way I use facebook cause I limit my use of it to only the basics (looking at pictures and connecting with old friends).

Posting quotes or videos on facebook without the concern of others should be no problem as long as people know how to set the privacy settings on what they are posting and if someone does something completely inappropriate it should be handled with fists. The school should not enter our facebook nor should we post anything that in any way could involve the school in a serious way. Again the less the school knows about their students the better. If the school finds out about any situation like these depending on the content of what they found the students attention must be called but I can´t think of any case that a student should receive a severe punishment.

Only being here since the ninth grade I didn't really do much in computers with Mr Chris. I only had him during one year and there isn't much I can remember about that class but I'll do my best. The only thing I can think of from the class was using excel. What I can get back from my memory and this project is that it was hard, we had to plog in equations, select rows to which we wanted the equations to apply and stuff like that.

The only way I can think of for teachers to apply technology is to save paper. Instead of printing out so many sheets they should send most of those through email. The teacher that best knows how to use technology is Mr. Whitten. In history and economics class we always used the smart board. What I enjoyed about this was that the letter was clear and easy to read and any further notes that he wanted to add he could do it with either the electical marker (which are better for the enviorment) or with the computer. In economics class it was intresting cause when we were looking at the supply and demand table each student could go up to the board and easily move the lines. Plus all the notes were available for us to study in the public folder.

I think that the amount of technology we use is adecuate because you can't always count on it working 100%. I'm not even a fan of taking notes in lap top because although its faster I tend to learn it faster and better when I write it down myself. Hope the info works.

Creating a Flash Animation with a Video

The first thing we did was film a 15 second video of our self doing something. I started by pretending to spin a ball on my finger, throwing it up, catch it with my arms extended to the sides and go up and down a couple of times, I then threw it back up and used my knees and chest to play with it and then kicked the ball away. The first step, once in flash, was doing the margins of my body movement which as quite easy (remember to close all margins so when you have to fill it up you don't have to go back to each margin) Adding the ball was also easy because you just had to place it where you wanted it and create a motion tween. I deleted the video layer and added a changing color background. I needed some help to make the ball enter from the upper left corner and the managed to make it leave through the upper right corner. The video was submitted to moodle and voila.
