GAMES

For the Internet based game i chose i love traffic, the objective of the game is to change the color of the lights that way when you put up a green light your car has to make it through the traffic coming, you also have to make a certain amount of cars through in a limited amount of time, the game is kinda complicated, but once you figure out the strategy it makes the game more simple.
Sprites are the lights you have to change, and the objects are other cars.

For the video game console game i chose Blitz The League, its a football game so the objective is to beat the other team by out scoreing the or injuring their players so they have to put in their second string team. The way you injure the player is by building up their unleashed meter and unleashing your character on their offencive team to break a player or on their defencive team to force a fumble. The game is basicly like any other football game except the breaking bones part. Sprites are the football players, and the object is the football.

Alice

Alice is a program used to make fictional worlds.

If you wanted to download alice you would go to their website (Alice.org)

The objects alice has to offer would be, animals, people, enviornments, and other kinds of objects.

Alice can be used for fiction world, commericals, tv shoes, and many other things.

All of the objects at the pros of Alice.

The cons would be that it doesnt look real.

When using Alice i used the snowy world, i liked Alice because it was a fun exsperience, probably not, because i dont see myself ever using that kind of program its way to complicated.

Cyberbulling

Article Title: The Megan Meier MySpace Incident

Megan Meier was a 13 year old from Missouri who struck up an online friendship on the popular social networking site MySpace with a person she believed was a new boy in her hometown. In actuality, the “friend” was a group of individuals, including adults, who were intent on humiliating the poor girl because of a friendship with another child that had gone awry. Megan was very upset when she found out the truth, then later committed suicide once the friendship had terminated. The horrifying case stunned the community and caused state government officials to pass some of the harshest cyber bullying laws in the country.

I don’t think that it is right for, young kids to start up a relationship with random people they don’t know or haven’t met. I also don’t think it is right for someone who is only 13 years old to have a MySpace account. I understand that she would be upset, but I wouldn’t kill myself over something stupid like that.

The person that they suspect for bullying the young girl was a mother in Missouri who is being charged for first degree murder for bullying the child and leading her to kill herself. The young girl Megan killed herself, because she was stressed and just felt like she couldn’t take life anymore and just wanted to end it all.

Megan could have stood up and told the police or someone that she knew could have helped her out. She also could have just deleted her MySpace or stayed off MySpace for awhile. Also she could have deleted the fake friend. Theirs just so many things she could have done to prevent it from happening.

This could apply to anyone, because anybody could get cyber bullied. You could be getting cyber bullied at school through texts; you could get cyber bullied by people in other states. Its applies to society because everyone can be cyber bullied it just goes on weather or not they keep doing it because the way you react. If you act freaked out, they will continue to do it because they know it scares you. If you act mad and talk crap to them then they will do it to continue to make you mad.

Staying Civil Online

It is basically an agreement set to keep you from doing things you aren't supposed to be doing.

1. Behave As Though You Are Communicating in Person
When communicating with someone online, act as if you are talking to that person face to face.

2. Remember That Your Words Are Open to Interpretation
if you post jokes, sarcasm, or other attempts at humor, do not be surprised if someone is offended. Word your postings clearly and carefully.

3. Do Not "Shout" Online
Typing in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS is like shouting and is considered rude.

4. Do Not "Flame" Other Users
In "Net-speak," a flame is a posting that contains insults or other derogatory content. Flamers can be shut out of listservs and chat rooms, and other users can block a flamer's messages.

5. Do Not Send Spam
Spam is the online equivalent of junk mail-uninvited messages, usually of a commercial nature. Most ISPs have strict spam policies. If you are caught distributing uninvited messages to multiple recipients, your ISP may cancel your account. You'll learn more about spam in Unit 14, "Living With Computers"

6. Do Not Distribute Copyrighted Material
Usenet newsgroups and many private Web pages are filled with copyrighted and trademarked text and graphics, posted without the owners permission. Do not think that text or images are "in pubic domain" because you found them on the Internet. Copyrights still apply.

7. Do Not Be a Coward

As a general rule, you should never conceal your identity on the Internet. If you choose to use a screen name do not hide behind it to misbehave

Acceptable Use Policy

An AUP is a set of rules set that you obide by when useing the internet or computer.

To keep kids from doing things they arn't suposed to be doing at school, so they can concentrate on their school work. No bypassing any filters, because it slows down the server. Don't download music, games or other things onto your laptop, because it casues it to run slower. Don't go to any perverted sites, it might cause a virus to be put onto your laptop. Don't be on anything your not suposed to be on, because link is always watching. Also if you break your laptop dont try and fix it yourself take it to link to fix it.

Have a program set up on the computer to watch and record everything to see how the workers are spending there time and make sure they get there work done.

To keep people from doing stuff there not suposed to be doing, so that they can get what needs to be done first instead of wasting there boss or techers time doing other stuff.

I wouldnt have any rules or requlations because i think its kind of an invasion of privacy, as long as there work was getting done i wouldnt care.
