2 Single Story 2011

" Danger Of A Single Story"

What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community?

It means when someone judges something over what they have heard and judge them over what the people say.

Describe a single story you have heard told about your community. What is missing from that story? How could people learn more about that community?

People say that the schools in East Austin have a very low performance because a lot of kids drop out of school. We are in the news a lot and people think this is a bad place and that there's mainly only Mexicans and African Americans. What We could change about this is that we can show them that East Austin is not the way they think it is.

Describe a single story you have heard about another community. How did you learn that story? How could you find out more about that community?

Another story is that in the news it came up that there was more white people in the East Austin. What they mean about this that in the East Austin only Mexicans , African Americans and few white people. So they are saying that more white people are coming to live in the East Austin. The way that you can find out more about the community is by visiting the East Austin and experience how it really is. Oh and I learned this story in the news.

How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community?

A game can experience many stories about a community by actually showing how the community really is and how much education we get in the East Austin schools.

1 Cyperbullying 2011

This is my first blog post of the 2011-2012 school year.

What is a cyberbully?
A cyperbully is a anyone that bullys you through the Internet or text message.

What are the different times of cyperbullying?
The different types of cyperbullying are:

• Gossip


• Impersonate


• Exclude


• Threaten

What should you do if your being cyperbullied?

I should let a trusted adult know whats going on and even delete that person from your account.

What are some reason people cyperbully others?
I think some of the reasons are because they are better than them so they are jealous at them. Another reason maybe because they think its fun to do it. Another thing is that they are cyperbullying someone because they have learned from someone that has done the something to them.

I was looking over in a very interesting website. (The website is icivics.org) What I did in this page is played a game about stoping bullying in schools. What this game is trying to teach us is that bullying need to stop because it hurts a lot of people and its not cool for someone to be hurting other innocint people. What I like about this website is that it has a lot of cool things that maybe kids like us dont even know about. What I also liked about it is that the games that they have in this website gave us an example on how our games should look. On how we should create something like this to focus on a certain thing like the games in this website. This is a really interesting website you should visit one day.

Nintendo 3DS

This new creation of this game systems is based on a Nintendo but you are able to see it in 3D. There is no need for special glasses to be able to see it as 3D which I think is a really creative. Being able to see this video game as 3D is really awesome. I think that the people that worked on this new system had to be in advanced technology because I think it must of take a lot of effort in order to be able to create something like this. The price of the Nintendo 3DS is $249.99. I think this is a great price because the creators took a lot of effort using their technology to come up with something new. The people that created this new system had to experience first 3D technology in order to come up with an idea on how the Nintendo 3DS will be able to work. In my opinion I think that this new creation has change our world in using more advanced technology. I think this because this is the first game system that people have created in 3D. I also think that this new system will encourage other game system companies to be more creative by using more technology.

I will certainly love to sell my game. What I will do in order to inform the world about my game is that I will go on talk shows, Internet and radio commercials. I will like to tell them on how awesome my game would be and I will describe it like we do here at school. In order for them to get a more specifically idea on what my game is about. I will certainly add a celerity but I'm not really sure which celebrity I will add to my game.
