CyberBully Movie

I thought the movie was good. Its was a little over dramatic though. Like when she couldn't get the pill bottle open. I thought the movie was a pretty good representation of we have talked about in class. Some similarities are that most kids usually commit/try to commit suicide. Some differences are that at the end most kids wouldn't stand up to the bully at the end, and tell them to stop harassing them.This case was similar to the Meyers case, which started some of the states to have laws about cyberbulling.

Podcast summary

I listened to this podcast and it was about Adele, the bird. When Adele was at the British awards while she was giving her thank you speech she was cut off and she gave the middle finger to the guys in suits who cut her off. Her fans were shocked that she did that because they thought that they were flicking them off but later tweeted that she was flicking off the guys in suits that cut her off. On other news, Adele had the biggest post grammy's sales since 1991. Over 700,000.

I did not really enjoy learning about Adele by just listening I like it better when I can see what is happening. I do however like it better than reading an article. I think the choose to do a pod cast because people rather listen to something then read it. The information was true but the comments that came along with it were opinion based.

Technology Article Summary

A fair labor association starting inspecting a factory in China where many I pod products are made. Many deaths have occurred at this one site. Many have commited suicide at this plant by jumping off the roof. There was also an explosion that killed 3 and injured 15, because this apple joined a group to improve labor conditions. Since that their sales have skyrocketed.

New Blog Post

I think that blabberize is easier to use because you don't have to create a avatar and then record. With Blabberize you just take a picture and set the mouth this takes a little bit of time up but not too bad. I liked Voki the best because you could just type in what you wanted to say but I thought it was better than hearing my voice. I would probably use Blabberize again for History or English to make a author or important figure talk.
