Today I started sending emails to several people to find someone that can do my outsource video and I do his/her. Unfortunately, no one replied so I had to wait.

Today, I went on my ning to check on my messages. no one answered me but i discovered that someone requested to do my video. She did do it also. Unfortunately, someone else requested to do hers, so I looked for someone else that I could request to do his/her video, but I did not find any.

Reflection

This year in out information technology class, we were sorted into groups. Each group had to search about the topic that was given to them. My group involved two people with me in this project. We worked together and did a great job. Our topic was digital literacy. We worked continuously until we came up with this information that you can see in the web that we did. The only problem in our group was that we did not use our time wisely. Other than that, we were a good team, working fast and coming up with great information.

In this digiteen action project, our topic was digital literacy as I said before. Digital literacy is basically the ability of reading and writing. Anyone that can do both can do digital literacy. As for modern digital literacy, one example of it are computers. We got all of this information by researching about digital literacy, we researched about many things about it and came up with many answers to many questions like what is digital literacy or why do we use digital literacy. Our target audience for digital literacy were the primary students because they are young, but old enough to understand what is wrong and what is right. That's why we explained plagiarism, which is a huge problem in high school these days with many students and they should know about it so they don't do it later in the future. It was a relief that we were successful in what we wanted to accomplish. The young students looked like they were not thinking of doing any plagiarism after what they heard from us. I think other schools should do this too, so they can make better futures for the young students. Unfortunately, like i said before, our team did not use the time given to us wisely. If we did, we could've made a better job, but still, I think we did a great job and better than that would be no less than perfect.

I think that digital citizenship is a great thing to discuss in schools. Many people use our modern digital objects in a very bad way. This is why i think that young students should always learn the right way of using our modern technology. For example, take computers. Many cyberbullying is happening around the world on the internet. Another major problem from the internet is plagirizing, which is a huge crime. I think that students should be taught not to do any of these things. This also infers to my learnings in this project. i think the most important thing i learned from this project is that no one is better than the other. People who plagirize take another person's work, but i don't think this other person is better than the person that plagirized. If the person that plagirized just tried his best, he would've come up with great ideas too. As for cyberbullyin, the bullies are not better than the people that they're bullying. It is a wrong thing and if the bullied get bullied, they would not like it too.

Topic Reflection

In this project, our team is doing digital literacy. Digital literacy is anything like surveys, exams, etc. Modern digital literacy are computers. Surveys and exams are now done on computers. The only problem with this improvement is that some people use the computers in a wrong way. To solve this problem, administrators can block unappropriated sites or people can just stop going to these sites.
