Reflection on my Digital Service Announcement

                   For my digital service announcement I created a brochure on digital commerce to help others understand that even though buying and seling online seems safe, digital commerce still poses many dangers.
                   I think in the end my brochure turned out really well because it had a lot of information, and it was really focused on the main points and it didnt really stray off topic. I think that even though it was good, I should have been more productive. During thansgiving I had no internet connectin whatsoever, and when my parents finally got me a modem for Black Friday it took us 5 hours to set it up! When I finally did get internet though, the only problem I had was that I didnt have a poster! So I decided to do a powerpoint on google docs but I didn't think that it would be acceptable because it was a powerpoint so I created a brochure just in case. Then yesterday I saw in my e-mail that googe docs was unable to e-mail my powerpoint, so  I was glad that I was able to check the blog and make sure that my product for this PSA would be acceptable.

Public Service Announcement Topic

For my public service announcement I will do the topic of Digital Commerce so that others can be more aware of the policies and restrictions that are put in place that do or dont allow us to download content off the internet.

1. America Offline-What does this mean? It means that lots of people all over America do not have access to Internet which is unfair because Internet access means more jobs and opportunities for everyone.
2. Digital divide- How does this impact you as a students? In our modern world it is essential to be able to have good Internet access because we need to be able to communicate with those investors from China and all those places. Or if we decide to go into medicine we would probably want to communicate with people from all over the world in order to find a cure to cancer.
3. Unequal Access-How can lack of access to the Internet impact your future? A lack of Internet access could mean that my grades would lower dramatically because I need to access the Internet to do research for papers and projects that I have and also it wold mean one less way to communicate with teachers and friends.
1. MOBILE ACCESS
4. Innovators-How will lack of digital access impact us as a country? This lack of access means that jobs could go down, lots of people work or study from home through the Internet and without access there wouldn't be as many educational and career opportunities. Many lawyers and senators and representatives can only communicate through the computer so without Internet all of these things become impossible.
5. What are the options for better Access? I guess the only way is to present it to the city as a problem and see if the funds are available to help get the Internet access improved.
6. Explain the Final Recommendations?
7. What could be done to increase Internet access and create more choices for communities nationwide? Communities need to come together to raise the funds to have an opportunity to have their Internet upgraded. Maybe at least to see what Japan is doing to be able to provide faster Internet access at a lower price. 
8. What actions need to be taken to keep the Internet open for users and innovators? We need to be able to see how other countries are doing it and be able to follow in there example.

MY OPINION: I think that in order to get more

My Research Paper- SO FAR........

[Title here]

            What is something that all news channels have in common? No, not those annoying morning-talk-show hosts. Every morning individuals can be sure to here about the weather, sports, and of course celebrity drama. Celebrity drama is so common and normal to everyone that hearing about it everyday has become so normal, so routine. The question is, why is it always celebrity bad behavior? What about celebrities’ good behavior? Celebrities’ bad behavior is covered more in news stories than their good behavior because it causes controversy, affects many individuals, and causes social disruption.
            The first reason why celebrities’ bad behavior is more covered by news stories than their good behavior is because it causes controversy.

My Introduction Paragraph for IA2(Prompt1)

                            In today's quickly changing world, we have evolved to the point where everything is all routine, common sense, and clear to understand. Everyone has evolved to the point where perfection isn't just a concept, but an expectation. Celebrities can be icons or role models, but however others process them, bad behavior causes controversy and is more noticed than good behavior because it isn't expected, it's irregular and out of their stereotypical expectations. Celebrities' bad behavior is more covered by news stories than their good behavior because it causes controversy, it affects us all, and it causes social disruption. (Thesis Statement)

EVALUATION

             The last part of the design cycle is to evaluate myself. I need to rate myself from a 1 to a 6 in every stage in the design cycle based on the postings to my blog. Then I am to rate and evaluate my peers on how well they did in every stage in the design cycle.

INVESTIGATE:

In the investigate step in the design cycle, I would rate myself a 6 because I was able to identify my problem and formulate a design specification. I think I did a good job in rating the two tools that I was considering using.

PLAN:

In the plan step in the design cycle I would rate myself a 6 because I was able to firstly plan out all of my time with the gant chart, and was able to create my three designs and chose one. I also reflected on why I chose it so that everyone would better able to understand my methods.

CREATE:

In the create step in the design cycle I would rate myself a 6 because I think I did an awesome job with saving the URL and the hyperlink and everything considering that I had never worked with this kinda stuff before. I also feel really good about the game because it looks really fun but I haven't gotten a chance to play yet.....................

EVALUATE:
In the evaluate step in the design cycle I would rate myself a 6 because I think I have done really good with creating and keeping up with my reflections, and I am very excited about going and reviewing the products of my peers.
