Reflection

What is your plan today to create & begin your PSA using your storyboard? What did you do today on your PSA? What is your plan for next time? What grade would you give yourself using your attitudes in technology Criterion F.

My plan to create and begin the PSA is to get together with my teammate Daniela Ramirez and discuss with each other our ideas. I'd really like it if we could cooperate well and agree on what story we'd like to use for the PSA. I plan to discuss my ideas and set reachable goals on our project. By communicating as a team and working together, creating this PSA will be easier. Today, we each will create a storyboard of our ideas and then try to mix them together.

Today we discussed out ideas. Daniela had some rally good ideas on the PSA. She wants to do a story of a person receiving a phone call from a company. That person gives them their personal information and later tells her husband who informs her that the company was fake. SHe then files and identity theft report to the police. I think it's a good idea but I want to include my part in the story as well. Instead of a husband and wife story, I'd like to use us as the person the identity is stolen from. Identity theft can happen to anyone and it is something everyone should be aware about. I'd like to do a story of a student whose identity is stolen and finds out about it when they attempt to apply for a student loan but it's rejected because of their bad credit reports.

Using the Attitudes in Technology Criterion F Rubric, I would give myself a 100 because Daniela and i are working well together to make the PSA the best it can be. By communicating and respecting each others ideas, we are able to advance in the creation of the PSA. We've got out ideas down and we need to organize ourselves so that in our next class we are able to start the storyboard to the actual video. We can also gather props and get all the actors needed for the completion of the PSA. I look forward to working with my teammate and making a beast video to raise awareness on IDentity Theft and help people be prepared against thieves.

Extra Credit

For my PSA I need to start planning myself better. I need to make a sketch of whta I'd kinda like my PSA to look like and find some good actors to play the parts. I need to edit my facts so that they are paraphrased and ready to insert in the video which can save me time in the future.

IDEA College Prep Students

Public Service Announcement

Public Service Announcements (PSA’s) educate people about issues that people have to deal with in life. PSA’s give people information about issues so they can think about them and take positive actions. You will produce your own PSA, lasting 20 to 30 seconds. Your PSA must deliver a short but strong message about any Digital Citizenship Topic, one of the nine.

You have just been hired by channel 5 news. Your first job is to make a public service announcement. Come up with a topic and research your idea. You must then create a storyboard that is clear and explains exactly what is going to be in your public service announcement. When you are finished your storyboard you must have it approved by the manger of the station Mrs. Hinojosa. Once she clears you, you may start creating your video using iMovie. Make sure your introduction motivates and hooks the viewer from the beginning of the video and keep his/her attention to the end. Read below for some tips.

* Your public service announcement should...

1.You must write down where your pictures came from on your assignment paper in the space provided for you. As soon as you take a picture off the internet write where it came from, do not wait until your project is done. Copyrighted information for photos, graphics and music must be clearly identified by source.

2.The introduction needs to motivate and hook the viewer from the beginning of the video and keep his/her attention to the end.

3.Please complete the rough draft story board first and while you create your computer project fill out the final story board.

4.The PSA must move smoothly from shot to shot and be edited with high quality shots.

5.Background audio must be kept low and not overpower the primary audio, please make sure it goes along with your project information.

6.The content of the service announcement needs to include a clear statement or theme and it must be creative and compelling to the audience.

7.All scenes must have sufficient lighting for viewer to easily see the project. • All shots must be clearly focused and well framed.

8.The graphics, sound and or animation must assist in presenting an overall theme that appeals to the audience and enhances your service announcement with a high impact message.

9.Graphics, fonts, special effects, and sound must be clear and big enough to read. They must explain and reinforce key points during the presentation. All text must be held on the screen long enough for it to be read.

10. All video clips should fit the story line. Clips should not be too long or to short.

You must tell me where all pictures you took off

the internet came from. DO NOT say they came from Google or any search engine! You must write down the exact address they came from!

Homework

How does your topic impact your future digital footprint?

My topic impacts my digital footprint because it is a serious matter. By simply plagerizing on a paper by not citing my sources is considered breaking the law. If the law is brokn then there are consequences which could be jail time or stain in your personal record that could prevent you from getting a job in the future.

You must post a complete paragraph explaining your progress today.

Today I researched my topic which is Digital Law. I looked for 10 facts and cited my source so I wouldn't plagerize. I need to find more sources that cover other topics besides Identity Theft to be able to reach out to a larger audience and give information better. I also need to go back and rephrase the facts to save me time later on when I am doing the PSA.

Digital Law Facts

1. The 2011 Identity Fraud Survey Report reports showed that the number of victims that suffered from identity fraud decreased by 28 percent to 8.1 million adults in the United States. The results showed that in the year prior to that there was three million more victims. Source

2. Two out of three victims that suffer from identity theft are unaware of the source of the crime

3. A survey of more than 1,500 identity theft victims shows that approximately three out of four, or 72%, do not know the source of the crime, according to ITAC, the Identity Theft Assistance Center.

4. Of the 1,530 victims helped by ITAC, twenty-eight percent said they knew the source of the crime.

• Followed by computer-related identity crime (21.6%).

• Lost/stolen wallet, checkbook or credit card accounts for 15.1%

• Corrupt businesses or employees also at (11.6%)

• And breaches of consumer data accounted for 4.7% of the cases

5. Although all types of fraud declined over the past year, new account fraud was responsible for the greatest fraud amount ($17 billion). New account fraud, in which accounts have been opened without the victim’s knowledge, is harder to detect and is the most likely to severely impact the victims. Existing card fraud amounts declined by 38 percent to $14 billion from $23 billion in 2009.

6. Friendly fraud - fraud perpetrated by people known to the victim, such as a relative or roommate - grew seven percent last year, with consumers between the ages of 25-34 most likely to be victims of this type of fraud. People in this age group are most likely to have their Social Security number (SSN) stolen—with 41 percent of fraud victims in this group reporting theft of their SSN.

Source: ITAC (Identity Theft Assistance Center)

7. A breakdown of the figures in identity theft since 2005 in the US ranks credit card fraud with the highest number of fraud at 26%. Source

8. The median value of goods and services obtained by identity thieves was $500, while 10% of the population experienced a theft of $6,000 or more. Source

9. Next on line in Identity theft statistics accounting for 18 % of all cases is phone and utility fraud. In this form of fraud, an identity thief will assume your identity through accessing your phone and utility bills and goes on to impersonate the owner of the information for their own purposes. These contacts are mostly sold to another party who will use it to fraudulently obtain money. Source

10. While victims are finding out about their cases earlier, it is taking far longer now than before to eliminate negative information from credit reports. Source

Homework Questions

1. America Offline is the lack of Broadband Internet access in our country while other country enjoy this luxury at an affordable price and faster speed.

2. Digital Divide affects us as students because we do not have the sam opportunity as people from other countries whho have fast and affordable Broadband Internet. This can affect us as a society because we are being deprived of the information available on the World Wide Web,

3. Mobile Access can impac our future because by not being able to access the Internet we lose touch with the world. We are not informed of events happening internationally therefore it limits our knowledge and efficiency.

4. The lack of digital access will impact us as a country if innovators in our society are not given the resources to create things that will help us compete with other countries. We will fall behind as other progress and become more developed.

5. Ways to improve Access Options are to find a way to make Broadband Internet widely available to our entire country at and affordable, economic price.

6. If no one knows what problems we are facing then there is no possible way the issues can be solved. People need to be informed to be able to make a change and impact our society.

7. To increase Internet access and create opportunities for communities, more businesses can offer free Internet to the public or libraries can close a bit later to help those that are notprivilaged of having Internet access.

8. Actions that need to be taken to keep Internet options for users and innovators are to keep public needs to be well informed of their choices and maybe even have the issue addressed on the news. By informing our country, some might decide to take a stand which can inspire others to do the same.

Today was a disaster. I was completely lost for half the period. I then started to do my homework, which no one did but for some reason Mrs. Hinojosa thought I did it. Everyone was hating on me :b because I'm such a good student. It was all a misunderstanding though because I didn't do it. So I worked on it and I accidentally disconnected my computer. Everything I worked on got lost. Today was not a productive day therefore I have homework this weekend. I also need to start my project.

Digital Laws

Digital Law: electronic responsibility for actions and deeds

Digital law deals with the ethics of technology within a society. Unethical use manifests itself in form of theft and/or crime. Ethical use manifests itself in the form of abiding by the laws of society. Users need to understand that stealing or causing damage to other people’s work, identity, or property online is a crime. There are certain rules of society that users need to be aware in a ethical society. These laws apply to anyone who works or plays online. Hacking into others information, downloading illegal music, plagiarizing, creating destructive worms, viruses or creating Trojan Horses, sending spam, or stealing anyone’s identify or property is unethical.

Digital Access

The lack of Digital Access will have an immense effect on my future if changes are not made. Without Digital Access, our country, our society and the people of the United States will fall behind other countries that get faster Internet. The information that is available will be harder to access while other countries get this information faster since it's just a click away. The communication via Digital Access is vital to our success as a country. It is a useful and quick form of communication that must be available in order to have a strong economy. If changes are not made, my children, the children of my children, and generations that follow will be deprived of this useful source to communicate and expand the horizons of their knowledge. Digital Access should be widely available to the entire world from the smallest to the largest countries. Digital Access everywhere could have a positive impact to bring awareness to problems in our society and could initiate a change that would affect us all.

Thesis Statement- Digital Law

Digital Law is the responsibility of a persons actions and deeds. These can be ethical or unethical. Ethical clears out as abiding the laws of society while unethical clears out as crimes and theft. Digital responsibility is a serious matter because thieves can steal your credit card number, social security number and personal identifying information, that if used unethically can affect you. It is important to become aware and take precautions because many people are unaware that their identity has been stolen.

My Progress.

Today in class I finished my storyboard so that I would know what each character would say and do. I did a storyboard because in the previous class I was undecided of what I wanted the characters to say or do so I wrote my thoughts down on paper to be able to have a better outline of what my product would look like. By doing so I was able to create more slides and insert in each slide what the characters would say. For next class I have to finish typing in the speech bubbles the lines of each characters, have them move around a bit more and have different expressions so it won't look so boring. I still have a lot to do and plan t

o get it done soon.

Create

Today I started the creation of my product. I started organizing my thoughts to see which design would look better and capture the attention of 6th graders. I tried different backgrounds, characters, voices and facial expression of the characters to see which would be

more entertaining.

Criteria F

I rate myself 5/6 (90/100)I keep a positive attitude even when things do not go as planned. I do so. I am also independent but I am not afraid to ask for help. Overall I am motivated and work hard.

Reflection

According to the work that I have created and the Investigation process I've completed, I rate myself a 97 because I have explained the problem while also discussing it with relevance. I have critically investigated the problem and looked for the best solutions by looking for products that would effectively teach the 6th graders the Design Cycle. I searched for ways to solve my problem by evaluating information from a broad range of appropriate acknowledged sources. I have also described detailed methods for appropriate testing to evaluate my solution against the design specification. I did this by creating a chart with the requirements I expect from the product and provided an explanation for each as to why I rated the product the way i did. Although I met all the requirements I know that there is room for improvement and that I should continue to work hard to ensure my success.
