Digital story

Ds storyboard

The main focus on my digital story is the importance of being careful what you post. There are very many people mainly young teenagers who post remarks or photos on social media that hurt others or their chances for a job or college. The parts of my story will elaborate on all three major social medias being Facebook, twitter, and Instagram. A student will reckless post comments that are disturbing in material on these social sites. I will use prezi to the tell stories in phases of what happens when you are reckless on social media. The first phase will be Facebook and the posts that hurt the students chances of getting into a good school. Then there will be the Instagram phases and then followed be the twitter phase. the student will go to apply to a college and will submit a policy allowing colleges to view his material. The student will be accepted into college and then will apply for scholarships. The people who administrate these scholarships will view his social media sites and then he will not receive these scholarships because of these posts. Prezi will help me because the way it flows will display the story the best.

Snowden article

Ever knows about Wikileaks and Julian Assange and the Snowden leaks now. The question is still though which will have a bigger impact? Many think and as well as I think that Snowden will have a bigger impact. the http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_world_/2013/10/24/reports_of_nsa_spying_on_france_and_germany_why_the_snowden_leaks_will_have.html Following article goes on about how the Snowden leaks will have a bigger impact. The United States did not only gain the suspicion of it's own citizens but also the suspicion of other countries. This will affect domestic and foreign affairs for a long time.  

A traitor's life

Many citizens, including myself were shocked when we they first found out about the NSA leaks. I at first lost a lot of trust and respect for my government. But wait once I really thought about it. What is the NSA looking for… They are not interested in our personal lives. No one gives a crap about joe shmos big promotion. We are just a bunch of fish in a ocean. The NSA is looking for terrorists domestic and foreign. They are looking for people who are going to attack America on it's own soil. I would fork up some of my privacy rights for my safety. People are just blowing this out of proportion because it is another excuse to blame the government for their problems. Snowden made public that he was the one leaking the information to the public in a interview with Greenwald. Once this was public the hunt for snowmen began and then the newspapers were told to destroy their evidence and David Miranda was held in Heathrow airport for violating certain laws. Do I think Snowden is a traitor yes because all he has done thrown this country into an upheaval.

annotated bibliography

My digital story mainly focuses on the affects of social media on high school students losing scholarships. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2012/01/23/catholic-high-school-football-star-expelled-loses-scholarship-over-racist-sexual-tweets/ The article tells the story how a football star lost his scholarship to a prestigious school. Not only did he lose his scholarship he was also let go from his school because of his tweets. This will be evidence of how dangerous tweets are. http://www.stack.com/2011/11/21/high-school-social-media-mistakes/ This article talks about the mistakes that you can make that will make you vulnerable to losing your scholarship. This article I will use when at the end of the story I will talk about ways to protect you and be careful. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/20/caitlin-ortiz-molloy-coll_n_880837.html This scholarship talks about how simply putting rap lyrics on a Facebook post can damage your chances of losing your scholarship. This is similar to Andrew Coonfare because he did something similar. http://www.fastweb.com/financial-aid/articles/3478-some-scholarship-sponsors-review-the-online-presence-of-finalists-when-selecting-winners This articles talks about how before giving out scholarships organizations will check social media. They check social media to see if the contestant is worthy or not. This is the factor that did not allow Andrew Coonfare to get the scholarship.
