If I had my dream Job

If I had my dream job....I would be a cardiologist but working in the non for profit clinic I opened for those who are in need of healthcare but are not able to get medical care. I would not care for the money or a title just to be able to give back from the tons that I have received.

Asimo Robot

I thought the robot was extraordinary. It amazes me that people are able to create something that is able to resemble us and create movement that I thought only humans are able to do, but I do wonder what the future will be like. If this technology is continuing to improve what will happen to the millions of people who will be out of work? I wonder if the government is ready to pay so much unemployment. So I must ask is it really a benefit to create robots with such enhanced technology? I personally believe robots should remain a hobby and so overpriced that only those who truly have the money/luxury will be able to enjoy because I would not want to compete with a man made machine for a job.


I think my group decided on creating a video about the different resources that will definitely help them. The video is semi-serious but not really. An example we gave was Google would be their best friend during their senior year.

Capstone Presentation Reflection

1.) How did it go?
     My capstone presentation in my opinion were good. At first I was talking really fast and had no idea how to start or end my presentation. I was lucky to have been able to juniors first instead of adults so my first time nerves went away very fast, but then the advisers and principal Jackson come up to me and tell me to present and that when I realized I was talking really fast. After that presentation, I believe I did really well and I had a confidence booster when assistant principal Hinkle complimented my speaking abilities.

2.) Was it what I expected?
     Absolutely NOT. I did not expect presentations to seem like a career fair that the college was holding. I think I was expecting something more formal just because my capstone teaching would constantly remind us that the project was serious and we had to come dressed up like as if presenting an important speech to the community. I also was expecting the judges to be different. I was only judged by one person and she was really sweet. I thought the judges were going to be mean and ask very specific hard question, but all the questions she asked me were opinion based.

3.) What if anything would I do differently?
    I believe I would make my poster differently. I decided to use a trifold in order to display my poster and other fliers but I did not decorate it as much as I would like. My capstone teacher told the class to keep them extremely simple because the judges were not going to be interested in all the colors and glitter but when I looked at other tables/presenters they went all out on their trifolds and I know I could have done so much more on mine to make it look attractive.

Friday Videos:PSA

When I saw the storyboard that was made for the title of 6 inches under, I was surprised. Most of my storyboards that I have created have relied heavily on words and descriptions not detailed pictures. I was also surprised to how close the storyboard was to the real thing. Plus I thought that no one used storyboards. I thought that the school was making us do all this extra work but I was wrong because even professionals use them

I really liked the PSA videos because they were simple and not over done. I personally do not like it when PSA's are overly dramatic because it does not capture the seriousness of there messages, but these videos were able to act out their scenes with out over doing it. My fear for my video is that it will be over done and not have a serious tone.

Video Outline

My video will be a mixture of a PSA and a commercial because my end product is an informational video that schools can show to their parents during meetings. I will be communicating my message by providing statistics and testimonials from my service learning agency. I will be keeping the video simple. I do not believe I will be using props, other than posters that families can hold up once they finished their testimonials. Since I will be using footage that can not be taken during class I will be using my parents video camera.

The Photoshop Effect

I believe Photoshop has gone to far because before people seemed realistic and now it is very obvious that pictures we see everyday are altered. I knew that pictures were altered but actually seeing someone do it and how easy it was, was just mind blowing. It was so easy to just change someone's body. The concept I find so funny was the guy who was doing the editing has a different point of view on perfection because he was basically calling her fat. The funny part about that was she was in shape working out everyday. Yet I understood those who get their pictures redone because who wants to have imperfections shown to the world but at the same times I believe the world should know your imperfections because at the end of the day we are only human.

Friday's Videos

The basic message of the Ted-Talk video was small ideas can spark into huge discoveries. I did enjoy the message but I wish he would have used examples that were more modern because it would be more realistic than stuff that was years ago. I noticed that he used power point slides and a cardboard wheel. The props were very simple.
The Onion talks parody was actually really interest. I did not know it was a parody. I seriously thought he was being serious but I did have my doubts because I was not sure why he was delivering his message so seriously and paused. If someone would have not said it was a parody I would have spent all day trying to figure out how to make our chickens quack and what was the reference for.

My presentation will be serious because it is about families. I believe simplicity would work the best just because the simple things are sometimes the things that are forgotten in families. I think I want to stick with bright colors such as yellow and turquoise just because those are the colors on my website and also they are eye grabbers. I believe my printed material is persuasive because it is simple but yet has a message that stands out. My point of view is understood through the reason why I decided to choose this topic and what brought me to believe that this project was a serious issue. I intend to create a video which can be a topic during a PTA meeting so that parents are aware of the seriousness of the issue.

Friday Video

 The Gap video was over the mental block the creative writer go through. The video described how the writer know what their taste and have a vision how they want to develop it but they get stuck along the way. The writer ends of stuck possibly for years but the purpose of the video was to tell those writers that it is okay to go through the mental block because it happens to everyone and it is completely normal. Also just because a person is having a mental block that does not mean that the person should quit but push through the mental block. Even though I am not a creative writer, I find this motivational because even with simple writing assignments or a project I always have an idea and I start off strong but mid way through the assignment I find myself not sure and I get stuck.

The Facebook video was interesting because I did not know the background of how it came about. I found it really interesting that Mark created the social media page for Harvard students and then it later evolved into the whole world being connected.

Dreamweaver

I have decided to stick with dreamweaver just because I have made good progress and feel like I finally am getting the hand of the program. Plus I don't want to start all over again.

Video Comment

The video we viewed in class today was about people are the ones that run the internet. I agree with this because a computer is a computer it does not have feels like we do. A computer is not creative but just does what it is told to do and nothing more. I was not surprised how many tumblr post, youtube searches, and Skype calls occur just in the brief moments we were on the internet. I was not surprised because if just in one high school there are over 200 students constantly on their phones now imagine everyone in the world which is more than 7 million people. I think this could be a bad thing but yet with out all the technological advances many things still would not exist or would be done differently. So with every good there comes bad but the good usually outweighs the bad.

Banking Video

I have always known that everything that we put on the web is available for anyone to see and can not be taken down but I never thought that people were able to view bank accounts. I thought that banking accounts or money was something that was kept private and not for everyone to view. I learned that absolutely nothing is safe on the web including personal finances. I think this commercial should not just be a commercial for a specific company but a public service announcement in which everyone can see in order to learn more about the internet. I believe this video can bring more awareness to everyone that goes on the internet and puts personal information such as finances.

Capstone Project (Entry 1)

My Capstone is about communication among the family and how it affects the outcomes of the children in the family. The goal of my project is to inform the public and teach families how to build communication among themselves. This is important because family is the base of a community and children are the future of society and if these two important factors are unstable or dysfunctional, society as a whole would fall apart. I want to become a cardiologist and this ties into with my capstone through communication and understanding. As a doctor I will come across many family situation in where I might the only method of communication among family. My capstone gives back to the community by allowing resources for families that are falling apart or disconnected. Richland's triple bottom line is teaching, which can be applied to my capstone by teaching other families how to connect with each other, learning, which can be applied to my project by learning as I do research, and Community building, which can be applied to my project by giving the community a stronger sense of family.
