Reflection-Aysha Siddiquee

1. The video that we watched in class was about Jack a kid that was getting bullied it is also interactive by how once you press certain buttons things can change. It allows you to be interactive.

2. It reminds me of such acts as bullying still takes place in our society and how it can really effect people. There are many forms of bullying as well.

3. Online i'm a middle eastern female an actress and as well a creator of many websites and presentations, I apparently also have a twitter and a school based on me.

4. People see me based on this information a middle eastern Muslim or an Indian actress.

5. The goal of internet trolls is that they make people feel really bad about themselves or just spread 

negative energy, they are there to make people be self-conscious and down themselves and think that something is wrong with them.

6. The positive results of online anonymity is that if you ever do something by accident on the internet than no one will know it's you but there's also a negative to that since no one can find out who you are if you've been doing dangerous things or bullying. As well as your history, it is anonymous which makes it harder for the people who need to find you and what you've been looking up. So this is a negative.

Reflection Brendan Hall

Today during class we watched a video about a kid named Jack being bullied. On the video there was an eye emoji which represented the witnesses, if you clicked the eye it would be as if the witnesses acted and helped the victim. When you didn’t click the emoji it showed how sad Jack was when nobody stood up for him when he was being bullied. When you did click the emoji it showed how just a few people standing up for him made him so much happier. This video brings to mind that all it takes to help victims of bullying just one person to stand up for them.  Online I appear as an Australian professional athlete. This would make people think I’m athletic and Australian. The goal of trolls is to give themselves entertainment from bothering because they probably don’t have much going for them in their life. The positive results of online anonymity is that people who sometimes are shy when having a confrontation in person feel more comfortable. A negative result of online anonymity is that people can harass each other without much consequence.

Reflection - Nick Ryan

  1. Google Yourself.

  1. I did not find anything that is under my name.

  2. I found a lot of people with the same name as me. They were the following: author, doctor, someone who works at the economics department at Yale, and someone who works at the economics department at MIT.

  3. I did not find myself.

  4. The fact that I did not find myself matters because then, if I wanted to get a job and my employer searches me on Google, then he/she will find all of these false things about me. They could either ruin or enhance my chances of getting that job.

2.  My partner is Ashley De la cruz. After searching her name on google, I could not find her but I found someone else. My five word impression of this person are brave, self-absorbed, hard-working, depressed, and transgender.

3. My partner’s five word impression of someone under my name: wannabe, self-absorbed, rich, confident, and cocky.


Reflection

1. In class today, we watched a video about a boy named Jack on iwitnessbullying.org. The video is about Jack. He goes to school and he is bullied at the bus stop, then at the lockers, then in class, and finally, on the internet. In the video, you get a choice to make Jack's day better.
2. This video makes me feel bad about the people who get bullied. Personally, I have never had any serious issues about bullying because I don't take any insults or anything seriously. I feel that people who do get bullied shouldn't have to suffer because of someone else's insecurities. Everyone should lead a positive lifestyle and be friends with everyone around them.
3. I haven't found anything about myself online but there were other people with my name. They all appeared to be really smart people because they worked at MIT, Yale University, worked as an author, and a doctor.
4. If someone who didn't know what I looked like or how old I am looked me up on Google, they would perceive me as a really well educated person.
5. An internet troll's purpose is to lie, exaggerate, and offend to get a response.
6. The positive effects of online anonymity are that people can freely express themselves and their opinions without being restricted by the views of the person's family, friends, and peers. The negative effects of online anonymity are that people who are anonymous can bully others without being found out.

Bullying Video Response

​Today we watched an animated video on bullying and its effect on people. In relation to that, we did an assignment on our identity on the internet and how we are portrayed by our social media.


The video we watched today about bullying really showed me how people feel when they are bullied. When you are bullied, even if the things people say aren't true, you begin to believe the lies you are fed and eventually this effects your self esteem. Online, I monitor myself pretty well. I don't curse or cyber bully other people. Once you put something on the internet, even if you delete it, it still resembles and embodies things that you associate yourself with, good or bad. I think that people think of me as a good kid who likes baseball. The goal of internet trolls are just to make you feel you feel horrible and to draw attention to themselves. A
nonymity allows people to stay anonymous for the better or for the worse.

Vivian Pham- PART 2: Reflection

B. Reflect in full sentences with correct grammar on SLATE
  1. The video that we watched in class today showed a boy name Jack getting bullied in school and there are emoji's on the video at certain parts where when we click on it, it shows what should happen. Like when Jack thought a guy was going to hit him, when the emoji gets clicked on it shows him giving him a high five
  2. What does this video bring to your mind in reference to the topic of bullying? The topic of bullying is very strong and sensitive, and it is something that everyone has either experienced or saw happen in their lifetime. And many know that bullying is a very harsh thing that has a huge impact on the person who is getting bullied. Bullying can mean more than just words, it can mean actions, and the results of getting bullied.
  3. Who are you online, how do you appear? There isn't much content about me personally, but there is a lot of content about those with the same name as me
  4. How do you think people perceive you, based on this appearance? I think people may perceive me as someone who does go on social media a lot, and social media is a big part of my life. And I spend a huge majority of my free time online just surfing the web. 
  5. What is the goal of internet trolls? to make someone online feel bad by posting inappropriate comments on their social media or upsetting them in any way using their words. They would do anything to make anyone feel bad. 
  6. What are the positive and negative results of online anonymity? The positive results of online anonymity is maybe being able to post anything or say anything online like on a blog post or something without anyone finding out your identity regarding posting something. The negative results of anonymity would probably have to be if someone were to cyberbully someone or send threats and this person who is getting bullied wants to tell someone or report this person, this person wouldn't be able to because this person is anonymous

We looked at this web page to describe Internet Trolls - LINK

Reflection

1. We watched a video against and for the prevention of bullying.
2. If you see bullying happening stop it.
3. I don't have much of an identity of me online, but there are people with the same name that are very successful.
4.  People may see me as a person who done a lot in their life, but that is a lie.
5. To upset people.
6. The positive is that nice people who are shy can speak to you, the negative is that some people can hide being rude behind a mask.

Who am I ONLINE? by Sean DeSilva

Today, in Mrs. Hulls class we watched a short little animation called "I Am A Witness". While watching the video I thought to myself, "Wow, poor kid.. he did nothing to those three kids and yet they still bully him." I was thinking to myself, what I would have done if I were in his shoes. Bullying has been going on for years. To kids calling people names on the bus, to physically hurting them and even Online Bullying, called "Cyberbullying". Try your best to avoid bullying because once you get yourself into it, it's hard for you to get out of it. And it might not just be you that gets yourself into it, it might just be the bully himself/herself that just picks on you knowing that you can't do anything about it. So please, stand up for yourself if you're being bullied, and if you see someone else being bullied/picked on, don't just stand their and watch tell an adult. Because watching someone being bullied is worse than being the bully!

Reflection, To

1.The video  we watched in class was “I am witness” Bullying video. The classroom activity today was to tell a grown up if this was ever to happen to you and that you should never do this to someone else. http://iwitnessbullying.org/

2. This video brings to my mind in reference to the topic of Bullying is when someone being mean to someone in a hurtful way.

3. I am this random girl on google and I only have a picture of me on google. I appear as this girl from Housewives of Atlanta.

4. I think people perceive me maybe our names are kinda similar or face or race.

5. The goal of internet trolls is someone who post comments to be other people down.

6.. The positive and negative results of online anonymity are the people who score high on the Dark Tetrad said trolling was their favorite activity on internet and the people who score low on the Dark Tetrad except trolls their scores for the four traits increase on the chart.

Reflection-Sydney Rogers

Today in class we watched the "I am A Witness" video. The video was about a boy named Jack who was being bullied by a group of his classmates. First we watched the video without clicking on the emoji, and then we watched the video and we clicked on the emoji and Jack wasn't bullied and his story ended up happier when we clicked the emoji. This video made me think about how bullying isn't always a public issue but there are so many ways for a bully to hide themselves. There are different types of bullying too that so many people are unaware of and they don't even see it happening right before their eyes because it's hidden. 
I am someone who has multiple social media accounts, but I mainly use Snapchat and Instagram. I'm not a bully online and I haven't ever witnessed someone being bullied online, but if I ever do see something going on then I would say something or tell someone who could stop it. I don't think I'm a whole lot different from other people who are online. I keep to myself, I don't comment rude things or say anything to people online or anything like that. All my accounts online are private and although Snapchat can't really be private you can control who views your snaps and who can send you snaps and even when people add me as a friend I have the option to block them, deny them as a friend or let them add me. I think people perceive me based on this appearance as basically a pretty average teenager. I'm not so incredibly different from any other person online. I post pictures of myself and me and my friends, I don't talk about other people on any social media in a negative way. There isn't anything that separates me drastically from other teenagers my age I don't think. 

The goal of internet trolls is to get attention. They want to get a rise out of the person that the'ye bullying. Their whole purpose of cyber bullying someone is to get some form of attention from someone. Most cyber bullies remain anonymous which makes it harder for the person who is getting bullied to stop them or face them. When your bully is anonymous in a way they have more power over you because they can torment you all they want without having to deal with any consequences when the person being bullied can't stop them as easily and it makes it harder for the adult who is supposed to stop the bully. A positive point for a bully to stay anonymous is that it usually means that because they've chosen to bully you online as supposed to in person means they are too afraid to go up to you in person. I think it depends on the circumstances, but if you are only getting bullied online then that should mean that you are at least getting somewhat of a break from the negative vibes.

Who I Am Online Reflection, Lucien Hearn

    Today in class we watched a video on bullying, created by the "I am a witness" campaign. This video, in my opinion, is stupid. Granted, I've never really been bullied in real life, people online have tried to bully me. Honestly, I don't understand why people care because whenever people try to insult me online, I just mess with them until they get really frustrated and give up. To me, this is hilarious, and all of those people are just morons. When people take these words to heart, I'm very confused, and I assume it's because they don't use the internet much. If you use the internet a lot, make any sort of content, play games, or really do anything online, after a week or two you learn what to take to heart and what not to. It gives you a thick skin, and you don't care anymore. This is the reason that when something "bad" happens to me, I just brush it off. If it happens to someone else, I'm confused if they're legitimately hurt, in a metaphorical sense. When you google my name, you get many results in images for boxers, after a few pictures of projects that I've made. Besides this, you see my Facebook and Google+ page. After this, you see nothing relating to me, and every name is different from mine. But to people that know me online, I just seem like a guy who likes video-games. People perceive me different based on how well they know me, as well as how they are discovering me. People will constantly talk about how "internet trolls" are malicious people who are psychopaths etc. They may be, however, usually they are just people who don't have anything to do, and so they use their time to just see others get angry, frothing at the mouth. Usually, people just ignore them and don't care, and someone who regularly uses the internet and is a part of the community knows how to spot one. The positive side of anonymity is that you can have privacy even online, and not everything you do or say needs to be seen by everyone. The negative side of anonymity is that sometimes, people can leave rude comments and won't have to deal with consequences. I'd like to end this post with one thing: you will not have more knowledge on a subject that someone who is at the core of that subject. I'm not saying that I'm the absolute expert, but you won't know exactly what happens if you only look at the information and don't experience it. The image In this post is of what every "troll" on the internet is. A stupid angry kid.

ILP Reflection

For my ILP, I am volunteering at my previous school Kearny Elementary/Middle School located on 6th and Fairmount. So far I have went there two times and things have been going great. Its nice to see some of my old teachers and principle and help my previous school's community out the best way I can. I am looking forward to helping Kearny's basketball team and other athletics programs involving the students. Maybe an assistant coach spot, which I have hands on experience with by previously having this job with my basketball unit outside of school. One thing that stood out to me while volunteering for these 2 days, was how much my school has changed since I left. With most of the teachers leaving and Kearny having to replace them with new ones, a lot has changed, but I'm prepared to adapt all over again during my time there for ILP. I feel its important for me to come every Wednesday and have fun doing my time with the school I attended as a young boy to a young adult! 

ILP // Gear Up office

I don't remember exactly the day I first went to my ILP but I went twice. My ILP is that I am an intern at the Gear Up office at the school district building. The first time I went was a meeting and that went really well. It went well because before the meeting there was a me when each team was collaborating and the team that I was in wanted to hear my opinion and wanted me to participate. I am looking forward to keep going to my ILP and to really learn what Gear Up does. Something that stands out is how open people are to hear other people's opinion. It is a very friendly environment. I think it is important that young students learn about college and the opportunities that are given to them.

In our project we decided to make up an influential album called "Power." by a white female. The purpose of this project was to highlight the themes, race and gender. Throughout our made up album our artist, Isabella Nella, brings out the importance of equality for all from a unique perspective. Her being a white female she is aware she is a rarity in the rap industry, and so her voice transcended very powerfully to the audiences listening to her album which we showed in our audience response(Which is the part of the project where an audience responds to the piece we've created). Our audience response is a review of the album on the popular album review website Pitchfork, but most of the other components of our project fit into that review also. The album cover(which is the press release, which is the part of our project where the album is released to the public through some symbol of some sort which for us is the album cover) is in the review and some other album suggestions or albums that influenced "Power."(Which is the Cultural Fabric, which is the part of this project where we connected our album to actual albums that influenced our thinking in creating our album) are in that review as well. The final component of our project is an add on to our audience response, which is a social media response by our audience. That is shown above. To conclude, our project highlights race and gender through the eyes of a white female rapper who has a message that is very influential as she attempts to change the world by preaching equality for all no matter race or gender. 

ILP

For my ILP I am helping Ms. Dianne in her office with the phone and running simple errands. Its fun because I get to speak to many parents and kids who are excited about becoming a part of the SLA community.  We also get a lot of strange calls though, for example a woman called asking if age mattered when applying to SLA. I said no thinking it was a 12 year old who was currently in the 8th grade. Turns out it was a 27 year old woman who never finished 8th grade. I was just shocked and passed over the phone to Ms. Dianne. Overall I like my ILP, and I feel like i'm really going to miss it when I go to my new ILP in January.

Digital Age- Q1 Benchmark (Malwina Dymek and Olivia Mack)

​     We chose to write about technology because currently in this 21st century, the majority of society is exposed or addicted to technology. We wanted to provide people with information of a different perspective and lifestyles that doesn’t involve technology and the idea of social media. To conclude to the end of the project we researched excessively and connected this novel to the modern day.


Trash: An Emo's Tale

If we assume the Metamoraphsis is a perfect representation of the modernist era, then what represents our time? 

We chose to make something somewhat satirical, making fun of the stigma around mental illness despite the rampant rise in diagnoses and the availablity of information that this generation has. We felt that these issues were best represented in the form of a book, as it gave us space to give detail and show day to day life for the main character, Callie. We set up a Twitter and a Tumblr account as our main character, post as if we were this character. Due to it's satirical nature, these social media pages make light of heavy subjects. We also made a book trailer promoting this work of fiction as well as an audiobook preview which can be found in the links below.

The Dull And Ameer Show

Q1 Benchmark // Contemporary Kafkaesque

For connecting themes of this era through the literature of today, this is the ultimate project. To us, what defines this era is comedy, and it is fed to us through the fruits of the labor of previous eras. Throughout human history comedy has been prevalent. Kings had jesters, towns had circuses, however in no other era than today has comedy been so widely integrated into everyday life. Not just the everyday child's playful humor, but adult humor as well has evolved. It is now acceptable, often without prosecution, to say many politically incorrect things as long as this evolved concept of comedy is tagged onto it. Through this project we explore the thing that governs our social lives; the thing that has evolved so adeptly to such an extreme extent in humans that it defines us; the thing that eases our souls of grimace and pushes us towards good time and witty thought. What we explore here is a little thing called comedy; the theme that defines this era.

The video we watched in class today, we witnessed a boy named Jack, who continusly,
  1. This video brings up the topic of people witnessing bullying and not doing anything about it.
  2. I am no one online, and I appear as multiple things that I've done online.
  3. People think that I am an academic person. This is not the case.
  4. To make people feel bad about themselves and interrupt the conversation.
  5. A positive thing is that you can be secure and safe online, and a negative thing is that it is harder to identify you online.

Reflection - Lauren Nicolella

1. Today when we watched the video in the beginning of class, the activity we did was make Jack's day better when we pressed the eye emoji, since the focus was to stop the bullying that would happen to him. 

2. This video brought to mind how bullying is a terrible thing to be involved in, and you need to speak up immediately if something were to happen to you or someone else. 

3. Online, I am a fangirl who talks about One Direction and 5 Seconds of Summer. I appear to be a nice person who shares interests in the same bands with people so I am safely talking to people online. 

4. I think that people perceive me as an enthusiastic person who deeply loves bands and loves to be with her friends because of the constant contact on social media. 
 
5. The goal on internet trolls is to confuse, hurt, and damage people deeply. They don't care about peoples' feelings and are very disruptive and have no real reason to why they do it in the first place.

6. The positive and negative results of online anonymity is that people can talk to you if you're shy, but then could also talk to you to try and get info from you and be negative.

Who am I Online? -Jason Chen

​Today in class wer watched a video about bullying. An actively we did was to search up your name on google and see what pops up.
The video brings to mind how much negatively things that people can do and how people can counter it.
Who am i online? When i search myself online nothing pops up but a Singer with my name.
Maybe people may think im a singer just because my name is Jason Chen.
The goal of internet troll is that they are horrible people that whats you to suffer for their pleasure, so make sure to just ignore them.
The negative effect are they are just here to mess around so ignore them

iwitnessbullying

Today in class we watched a video called "I witnessed bullying" we had to look up our self and our partner's on google. The video really showed how people feel after a day of bullying when someone doesn't do anything and a day of bullying when someone does speak up. I am a photo of myself online. People percieve me as whatever they want to think as funny or even stupid I don't really care.The goal of internet trolls is to make people feel bad and they feed off of people and this keeps fueling them to keep trolling them. Online anonymity is good for security billing which is when you order something and you can talk to the delivery company the negative effect is people can get hurt by what people say.

Technology Reflection, Flores

The video we watched in class was an I Am A Witness video. The video consisted of a boy named Jack (probably in middle or high school) who got bullied in school, at the bus stop, and online. The activity we had to do today revolved around us looking up ourselves and explaining in detail what we saw. After doing this, we partnered up with someone and looked up their name. We were then supposed to give them five words to explain what we saw, even if there wasn’t a picture of them there. After we got five words from our partner, we were supposed to elaborate on their observations and say whether those words were an accurate representation of us.  

This video brought cyber bullying to my mind and also the fact that in the video, the bystanders didn’t do anything. The kind of bullying in the video and more vicious abuse (verbal and physical) in real life are the types of things that brings teens with low self esteem to think of committing suicide. I’ve heard of many teen suicide stories because my mom has a Masters in Human Behavior. she had unit on suicides and bullying. Words sometimes hurt more than or equivalent to getting punched in the face.  

On the internet, I don’t show up if you look up my first and last. I’m mostly anonymous on the internet. I am on social media, though. The site I use mainly is Instagram. However, I do have Facebook that I don’t really use. On both my Instagram and Facebook. I post pictures about my life and positive quotes. I think people perceive me as a nice person. I don’t really comment unless it’s something nice about one of my friend’s pages. The goal of Internet trolls is to derive pleasure from your response and pain about their verbal abuse. They want to feel superior and make someone upset. When you are anonymous on the Internet, you don’t really reveal your identity unless you choose not to use an alias. However, if someone is bullying you and you don’t know who they are, that can definitely be scary and upsetting.

A Day In Technology Class (Reflection) - William Huang

In class, we watched a video about a boy by the name of Jack. Throughout the video, Jack gets bullied by what seemed like his classmates. During each of those instances, we are give the choice to press an "eye" emoji, which turns the bad situation into an alternate, positive one. Then, we did an activity on Canvas where we checked what our online profile was like.

In reference to the topic of bullying, this video brings to my mind just how scary and lonely it can be to get bullied.

Online, I almost do not exist. After the search, all I found were some comments I posted on YouTube a while back, and a blocked-off Facebook page that might by mine.

There really isn't much on the internet for people to perceive me by, considering how limited my appearance is. 

The goal of internet trolls is to make other people's day miserable. Not exactly, but they find joy in doing so.

The positive aspect of online anonymity is that people won't be able to identify who you are. At the same time, the negative aspect of online anonymity is that you won't be able to identify other people either. This way, if you happen to ever by preyed upon, you would never know who the person on the other side is -- the person who is doing it.

Learning About Bullies - David Roberts

Stop Pic
Stop Pic
Today in Tech class, we watched a very sad video. A kid, by the name of Jack, was being bullied at school. Then, after watching the video, we googled ourselves. We had to reflect on what we saw. With the topic of bullying in mind, this video brings to mind how many people are bullied and how many people people see bullying and then do nothing to stop it. This happens a lot all over the world. When I googled myself, I did not find anything about me. Throughout my life, I have not put anything about me online. This is why I did not find about myself. Since there is nothing online about me, there is not a lot of things to perceive me as. One thing we learned about is trolls. The goal of internet trolls is to make people hate themselves. To make people's days miserable. Trolls love it when they make people mad. The positive things about anonymity is that you do not have to give away your personal information and put it on the internet. The negatives of anonymity is that you do not know who is behind that screen name. It could be anyone. You just don't know.
