All About Me (New)

Posted by Madison Harris in Technology- Freshmen - Hull - b2 on Friday, January 9, 2015 at 7:39 am

My slide includes pictures that describe me, my personality, and what I like to do. The "#Maddie" matches the "love" on my shirt so it will be eye-catching and it will grasp your attention. I figured adding other things that I like that it will just make my slide pop and add more personality to it. My slide shows everything about me and how I see things.. Enjoy!

It's Clearly About Me (Ijustice Avery)

Posted by Ijustice Avery in Technology- Freshmen - Hull - b2 on Friday, January 9, 2015 at 7:32 am

My slide is clearly all about me. I designed my slide based on my favorite colors and my background is one of my favorite pair of sneakers. These colors contrast but they are also compatible with one another. They also match the sneakers in the background. But, I didn’t just choose these colors because I them, they are suppose to represent that I have a colorful personality. I tried to make my slide as short as possible but also to have a lot of information about me as a person. My slide isn’t just a slide, it has meaning. The picture in the background represents something in my life. The sneakers resemble my sneaker game and they are basketball sneakers so they also represent how ball is life. The 23 on the sneaker represents January 23rd which happens to be the day my uncle died. He had a big impact on my life and I wanted to show love to him. Finally, the mansion door in the back represents how tough times don’t last, and if you really try you can succeed.

Justin's slide #2

Posted by Justin Mack in Technology- Freshmen - Hull - y1 on Thursday, January 8, 2015 at 8:51 pm

What I learned was making something more simpler. My last slide had so much color and the background was shoes with all sorts of colors. I think that the new slide I made represents the one true thing about me. That the organization I play for is what my whole life is about, supporting my second family through sports and events. I made the quote we use to each other in black and white because white on black is simple. I put the picture with the four corners as if the background was fading into the picture. I think that it makes the background bleed through the pictures which in my opinion is a cool tool to use. I used the same font for each word in the picture because each word means something.

Net Neutrality

Posted by Athalia Tan in Technology- Freshmen - Hull - y1 on Thursday, January 8, 2015 at 1:56 pm

Why is net neutrality important for teens to know about?

Net neutrality is important for teens to know because teens like freedom. Net neutrality is the freedom of internet use that is in the edge of getting taken away. Teens should learn more net neutrality because they spend most of their time using internet for everything. I think that if teens don t know about net neutrality they would get mad if their ISP made the "fast lanes" to slow down some of the sites they use.

Its important for teens to know net neutrality because if their freedom of internet get taken away, they could get mad and doesn't realize what was happening. If we don't have net neutrality we wouldn't have equal internet access from our ISPs. If we don't have it, some of the sites that we use will be slower than the other sites, such as Netflix. Teens now are on Netflix to watch lots of movies and if the ISP makes the use of Netflix slower, it would be a big problem.

If the ISPs get to make their fast lanes and net neutrality is taken away, we might have to pay more for the internet we use daily. Teens should know about the rights that they have online. The next generation of kids won't know what its like to have networking rights. I hope that teens will understand how important it is for them to know about net neutrality.

Why is net neutrality important for teens to know about?

Net neutrality is very important in our society and can take over the rights of anybody who doesn't know what is going on. Especially teens and younger adults. With the amount of time kids today spend on social media and internet connections, we need them to be well aware of stuff going on on the internet. ISP's are trying to control what they go on and what they can and cannot see. They are also trying to take away the speed of internet and basically make you pay more for the same speed you have now. We as a society need to keep our teens and kids aware of these problem to help make a difference and keep them safe while on the internet.

ISP's are trying to control our internet and are restricting what we go on and what we watch. We need our kids to know this so they can know what is right and wrong, because our kids are our future and have voices too. This is also not just affect adult but will also affect them. ISP's might take away the social medias we all love to go on or not allow us access of it. This will hurt for connecting with other and sending messages.

Also ISP's are trying to higher the cost of speeds given on the internet, while only still giving the same amount of speed as you've always had. If providers start to control the internet they will have no competition and you will no longer have a choice. We would either have no internet or pay way more for the same speed we've always had. These are why we need our teens to know the dangers of net neutrality, and no one can try to manipulate our kids into something that will hurt their internet. Let your kids know what net neutrality is and one day they will have the voices to keep our internet safe.

I think that net neutrality is very important for teenagers. One way net neutrality will help you is when you are in need to watch a movie in school. If the teacher tries to watch a movie in class to teach you and the movie is blocked doesn't allow access, then it could stop your learning. I think that this is unfair to happen because some kids doesn't want to hear lectures all the time. Movies that help you learn gives you a break from lectures and when the movie isn't working, then the kids may hear more lectures.

Net neutrality helps students with homework. Like in this school, we have computers. Most homework is assigned online. If a certain website isn't allowed to be access then the student will have trouble with problems. The school may not have enough money to get the websites to be accessed. This could be a real problem to students learning through the internet.

Net neutrality can help teenagers with their learning. When students are researching in class, the internet could be a problem. The internet could become slower if the school isn't paying their provider enough money for faster internet. That makes the students education slow as well. This can cause slow learning for student who are learning through the internet.

Net Neutrality is important for teens to know, because it helps them realize how much freedom net neutrality allows us to have and helps us not take it for granted. It also helps teens learn more about I.S.P and what their jobs are and how they affect net neutrality. It helps them see that Internet Service Providers doesn’t give us the freedom that we deserve to have on our website. Net neutrality is also important for teens to know because it treats all the data you get from a website fairly and keeps it safe. Like, for example if you were trying to get on both YouTube and Facebook, the internet and the I.S.P's could limit your speed and charge you while net neutrality would allow you to browse and access both freely and not make you pay a charge.

I.S.Ps want to charge you for almost every time you get on your network. Unlike Net Neutrality which allows every website you visit to have no limits for you usage. Net Neutrality also gives you freedom to use any website you want and doesn’t charge you a monthly fee for the website you are using. Internet Service Providers also want to control how much internet you use which limits your time on it. They create illegal downloads which charge you for how much internet you use and this is not fair.

Companies like Comcast and Verizon can be very crafty and can block a website or source you want to use and make their own and charge you for it. This makes you pay more money while you can easily use a website that would charge you less. This is why Net Neutrality is so important because t lets you use any website you want. Open Internet, which is another way to say free internet, avoids high and unfair prices, it limits competitiveness from other companies, it allows more ideas, and allows you to use any speech you want.

In a word without Net Neutrality, little Jimmy tries to watch Netflix on his Xfinity internet. He goes to the profiles, chooses his, then wants to watch Scrubs. He presses play, then waits for it to load. While waiting, he sees his homework pile up on his desk, and just wants to watch that season finale. It's been four hours, and now hes just asleep on the keyboard, and it's finally loaded the first minute! This is the world without the Net Neutrality.

Johny decides that he wants to watch something. Unlike Jimmy, he doesn't have a subscription to Netflix, but still has Xfinity, so he watches the TV section of Comcast. He watches Divergent, and it loads instantly! It doesn't even take a minute, and he is already watching the movie, but with Netflix he would ave to wait hours in end.

In this world, Netflix is always slow. YouTube is even slower, and Hulu, well nobody uses Hulu. In this world, it is slowed by the internet providers. It doesn't matter if you pay extra, it is still slower than an old man.

Net Neutrality

Posted by Jameson Willis-Carroll on Thursday, January 8, 2015 at 11:09 am

Many people don't really know what Net neutrality is.The definition of Net Neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers should enable access to all content and applications regardless of the source, and without favoring or blocking particular products or websites. Many people feel different have opinions about this. Their will be many problems if we eliminate Net Neutrality.

In my opinion Net Neutrality is important. Without it getting internet service would be very difficult. Honestly Until this point I had no idea what Net Neutrality is. Now that I do I think more people should be made aware of it. We have to stop the FCC from manipulating our data.

I think specifically teens should be taught about Net Neutrality. Media plays a big role in teens lives. I believe if would be beneficial for them to know about. They should be educated on it in school. SLA is a role model for other schools.

Net Nuetrality

Posted by Desarae Gilbert in Technology- Freshmen - Hull - y1 on Thursday, January 8, 2015 at 11:07 am

Net Neutrality is the principle that internet service providers and governments should treat all data on the internet equally. Net Neutrality is important for teens to know about because teens lives are on the internet. Every likes fast internet speed but its especially important for teens. Teenagers have school work, social media and other needs that requirement the web. It may not seem like a big issue but it is.

We have to protect our right as people to access what we want and how we want on the internet. If bigger companies that use the internet to promote what they sell have faster internet, than everyone else is slowed down. Including teens internet service. If the government doesn't act soon about it then net neutrality will soon be to an end. Computers will slow down and websites will load slower.

If companies paid money for faster service, it will disrupt many things because everything revolves around technology today. Teens need to know that just because it isn't exciting, its still important. Equal web access for everyone is crucial to life. Equality on the internet has been fine so it shouldn't change. Its important for teens to know about net neutrality because it result on their life

Tia Roberts : Slide #2

Posted by Tia Roberts in Technology- Freshmen - Hull - y1 on Thursday, January 8, 2015 at 11:05 am

¨Why breathe?¨ The point of this slide is to show people my true passion. I enabled a catchy title to enhance the attention of my readers and added bold pictures to tell a story without actually having words. I used minimum space for my wording so that my pictures could be big enough you would see it without having to look so hard. I made my slide have a little contrast by making the whole background black with bright colors added on top to pop out at the audience. This slide not only expresses who I am without portraying actually me, it makes people think deeper and actually have a feeling towards it.

Slide #2

Posted by Athalia Tan in Technology- Freshmen - Hull - y1 on Thursday, January 8, 2015 at 11:03 am

I chose to make my slide like that for many reasons. One reason is that I chose to use large text and I decided to manage my space so it wouldn't be too crowded. I also made some of my pictures bleed off the slide because not the full picture should be used. I wrote "Express Yourself" in red because I think that it would catch people's attention if it was on a billboard. It contrast with the white background which catches the eye. The pictures that I used expresses some of the things that I like. I like keeping things simple, but meaningful so I decided to make my slide not too flashy. I sing and dance at church, so it became a hobby for me. I like working and helping out little kids, they're always make someone smile. I love chilling/hanging out with my friends and watch movies. Music and shopping is just my thing! I love music because everyone can relate to them and shopping is always fun.

Slide 2 by Nat

Posted by Nathaniel Hilton on Thursday, January 8, 2015 at 10:59 am

I made several changes in my slide, many changes where difference in color and text. I was given a lot of advice to switch out the background for a more calm and desired color, not a loud red. I was also criticized for the eraser being a different color, so I swapped it out as well. I then added even more variation within my text, making more words bold and larger than others to make it much more appealing. I learned that even the smallest switches in color and boldness can make something a thousand times more eye capturing, even if a color is slightly off it can cause boredom and lack of interest.

With my second slide I didn't really change much because all the reviews I got were great. The only thing I changed was the quotations because they were different. But it was a very minor change. What I learned from this keeping it simple is the best thing ever. You don't want too much on your slide because it will take away from the big picture. I'm very happy I listened to that advice because it really helped me in the long run.

Net Neutrality and Teens // Nadya Negron

Net Neutrality

What is Net neutrality? Net neutrality is that Internet Service Providers and the government have to treat all Data on the internet equally. Not discriminating because of the user, website, application, etc. Net neutrality protects us from ISP’s treating traffic differently. Without Net neutrality you can forget about youtube,netflix anything online you can forget about it. If the ISP’s get control of that you won’t be able to do anything like that.

I think it’s important for teens to know about Net neutrality because in the future in can be in jeopardy and since we know about it we can do something about it. Right now Net neutrality is in danger and I think it’s because not many people know about it so they don’t care. Us teens are the new generation we can fight this. WE can make a difference just by having this knowledge and sharing it with the world how important it is. I don’t people understand without Net neutrality the internet would be a completely different place.

I also think it’s important for teens to know about net neutrality because our generation lives off of the internet. All most teens know is that the internet works fast. They don’t know why the internet works fast or what some people have to do to fight for our internet rights. Soon they will want to know when the internet isn’t working fast anymore. But we don’t have that type of time. So that’s why I think it’s very important for teens to know about Net neutrality and what it does for us.

Net Neutrality

Posted by Sarith Chuon in Technology- Freshmen - Hull - b1 on Wednesday, January 7, 2015 at 6:07 pm

Teens need to learn about net neutrality so that we become better adults. If we learn about net neutrality we will be able to not make the mistakes that the fcc is making by thinking about getting rid of net neutrality. We also need to learn about it so we can spread the word.

Net neutrality keeps everyone happy. If it didn't exist we wouldn't be able to use the internet. Net neutrality means that every website us treated the same. If it's gone companies can treat websites differently. This means that websites like Facebookwill be hard to access. If you want to access them you will have to pay more money.

In conclusion we need to learn about net neutrality so that we understand that it is a good thing that keeps us happy. We also need to tell more people about it so that people understand that we need it.

Net Neutrality

Posted by Jamal Hampton in Technology- Freshmen - Hull - b1 on Wednesday, January 7, 2015 at 4:58 pm

Net Neutrality is important for teens to now. For an analogy teens would want to know that if they would they are living in an equal world or not. Which leads me to my statement why would they not need to know that their internet is not beginning distributed to them equally. Teens should know when the are getting ripped of and not. In addition, this makes me question why would companies want to give us less internet for more money.

For many Americans has become so much a part of the lives. Whether it is Using it on their computers ,phones, ipods/mp3s, gaming consoles , and more. About 84.2% of the population (2013) used the internet. A portion of those people are teens. Most teens use the internet mostly on their video game consoles and smartphone leads me to my statement. Teens need to know about net neutrality because if one day the randomly want to go on youtube and they have perfect connection and suddenly their I.S.P decide to slow their internet down they need to know what their I.S.P is doing.

Teens today are growing up and they are hitting the age where they can speak up. They should question why is this website blocked if I am paying for it. Most teens in America know that they have freedom of speech in America in a way. So which means we should also be allowed to say what ever we want on the internet because we are paying for our I.S.Ps and this is America. In addition, teens need the internet to learn and whent I.S.Ps slow down and block websites on the internet that just make learnig harder for them.
