writing my opinion on the videos that i watched

Please write and blog about your impressions of the Frontline documentary Growing Up Online.
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/kidsonline/
Please write a paragraph for each segment of the video:

Yesterday I saw several movies, one of them were the cberbulling and the Self expressions, trying on new identities. In my opinion the internet has been used in a bad way. Some students are using the internet for putting bad pictures of them, which will make them have a bad reputation. They are not using it in a good way. Internet must be used for researches and for doing the good work. Most of the people in the world are using face book and my space.com just for meeting each other on the internet and send bad things to each other. The movie about the self expressions trying on new identities is one the most one I disliked. Autumn Endows was the girl who started by putting bad pictures on the internet. Everybody was talking about her and sending her bad things. She also changed her physical appearance in order to picture herself. She dressed unpleasant clothes so that she could grab people's attention. Her parents didn't know what was going on. Her parents must look after her and to prevent her from doing this.

In my portfolio there are some weaknesses and some strengths. My weakness in my portfolio is that I must add slight information on my two artifacts. I must also add another artifact, so that the portfolio would be better and because I could get higher grades. I must include more information about my self, so that the reader gets better information about me.
My strengths in my digital portfolio it that I have created new designs and imported some pictures, so that the portfolio will look attractive and nice-looking. I used different types of colors throughout the digital portfolio so that my digital portfolio would be eye-catching and gorgeous. I also added a picture at the top of my wiki which made it look cool. I changed some of my designs because I thought that inserting a lot of designs in my digital portfolio would be complicated and it will not look pretty, so I decided to reduce some of my designs. I also changed the colors of my digital portfolio because they were tedious and dull. I wanted them to be bright and colorful. All of these were my biggest and strongest strengths in my digital portfolio.
There were some strengths and weaknesses in my performance during this unit. My biggest strength in this unit is my blogger. This blogger helped me a lot through this unit. Everything I did through this unit was in my blog. I wrote reflections, evaluations and comments in the blog. This blog will help me a lot in the future and after, because I could refer back to it anytime and I could look at the work I did throughout this unit. This blog helped me keeping records of my information. I have really put a lot of time and effort in this blogger. My weakness through this uint is my “movie about me”. I didn’t really focus on it, because of my friends. When I asked them to video me, they were not paying attention and not focusing on me while I was talking in the video. So the video was mixed up a little. Also because I continued working on my digital portfolio and I postponed the movie till further time. I could change it working and focusing more on my video or I could shoot the movie again by asking one of my friends. This unit aligns with the area of interaction “Homo Faber” because it took our inventiveness and ingenuity from our minds by creating our own digital portfolio. It made us select our layouts, designs, contents, chose different colors and many more things to select. I have created this digital portfolio so that the readers could get more information about and know me better. I also created this digital portfolio so that I could record my information and also because it is a good way for me to present my work easily instead of writing it on the papers and documents.
This digital portfolio has a harsh impact on my friends and family because it is more beneficial to have an online portfolio, so our friends and family could read our information easily without any difficulties and it is more enhanced to read information on the online, instead of papers.
This unit is the is the most beneficial unit I had ever gone through because it taught it me a lot of vital information I had never knew before. I would like to thank the teacher a lot, because she really helped me a lot through this unit.

1st paragraph:

My reflection is on my humanities PowerPoint that I did before the holiday and after the holiday. Our humanities teacher told us that we must chose a country from his box. My country was about the U.A.E, my favorite place. I was very happy to get this country because in the summer holidays we go over there a lot, and because I know a lot of information about it. I had to reach on the internet for some information. It is an individual work. We had to write about the country’s climate, economy, government, history and many more. It took me two days on the internet to find the appropriate information. We had to use the humanities template or any template we want, but I prefer the humanities template because it is more prearranged and the information well be developed in a good way. For each slide, I added two or one pictures with some colorful backgrounds, so we could explain the information we are writing. This project was really interesting and entertaining for me. I was so pleased because I knew that country I am writing about.


2nd paragraph:

This humanities work is significant because it inspires students to research information on different countries, by that the student will be able to know the country better and he will be able to know more in formations about the country he or she is searching about, it makes the students discover and learn new places. It is also significant because I got a high grade on it and I was very pleased with that. This humanities PowerPoint was developmental for me because it helped me reach a new level in the subject.


3rd paragraph:


This project improved me a lot because now I knew more information about the country I researched and because I discovered new places. This work has improved me as learner in the MYP because it taught to reasaerch more on the internet and becasue I discovered different countries and I knwed different information. It helped me organize my time and work efficiently. I will preserve this PowerPoint in my usp so if I had to research on the same country, I will have the all the information I need , So I don’t have to research again . I will use this PowerPoint for other classes if I had the same project for example in French. If the teacher tells us to write about our favorite country I will use the country I wrote about in the PowerPoint, so it will help a lot.

my final vidoe

Today in class i was organizing my work in my movie maker. i did another movie last class becasue i didn't talk alot about myself , so i did a new one . today i was importing music and puting nice bachgroungds , so the audience would like it . i asked my friend Amna to edit my movie for me and i asked her if there were any mistakes . She told some advises and i did them . i imported vedio effects for every part in the movie . The next class i will import some pictures about my self and friends . But becasue i don't have the pictures today , i will put them in my usp and after that i will import them in my vidio and add some desings and colors . i did this becasue my movie must be 2till 3 minutes . So i am increasing the time line . maybe the following class i will show my classmates my video and ask them for some comments . I videoed myself in the school and my friend dhabyia was my video taping . i reaaly worked gard in this unit so that i could have a high mark . i am tring to make my vidio the best .
