Client meeting

We did a comic book about bullying not a story, we wrote some useful information about bullying. We wrote types of bullying, and we put pictures on how to stop bullying around the world. We are very proud on what we did because we worked very hard. we wrote how children feel when they are bullied. We wrote that people feel left out when they are bullied, and how we need to stop people from becoming bullies.

Final Evaluation for Bullying

I think that we worked very well on our project. We didn't waste time on playing, we used the time very wisely by researching on what we had to do and doing the best booklet ever. Making the booklet colorful, highlighting the pictures and making it not boring but fun. Next time we should use colored paper instead of white because if you put white it makes it seem plain, if we put colorful it will make the information stand out.

We had a bit of mixed up in the beginning with the plan. we have got good feed backs on our project from our friends, they said that it is very cool. It can make a lot of differences in schools and in the world.

Process Journal

First Week

We started our investigation about ' What is Bullying? ' our teacher Mr. Johns introduced us for the next project which is about Anti- Bullying Media Campaign. We looked at the contrast websites.

Second Week

We continued with our investigation by investigating the design cycle. We compared the contrast websites, and we answered these questions:-

1. Are they well designed (give specific examples)?
2. Who is the audience?
3. What is it intended for? Where? How are they used for? why?
4. What age group/audience are the games intended for?

Second & Third Week

In partners, we have to brainstorm our project by using the design cycle.
It is due on March 5th and we discussed our project and give a process journal.we have to complete this project in three weeks.

Fourth Week

We have to follow the design cycle checklist and wrote our plan to create portion in our blog. Making sure that we included screen shots of our project. We finished planning the project and we started creating it.

Fifth Week

Investigating Bullying Compare&Contrast Websites

Are they well designed?

They are all designed perfectly, they have good pictures and information about Bullying and this site is very helpful and can find out things easily, there is not many dark colors and are confusing they are easy to use and to understand.

Who is the audience?

Some bullying websites are for different stages:

PBS - IT's MY LIFE - BULLYING is for kids and teenagers.

ANTI-BULLYING WEBSITE is i think for upper grades like Senior people.

Investigating Bullying

What is Bullying?

Bully. What does the word make you think of? For some people, it's that girl at school who always makes fun of them. For others, it's the biggest guy in the neighborhood who's always trying to beat them up or take their things. Sometimes "bully" means a whole group of kids, ganging up on
someone else. No matter what situation or form it comes in, bullying can make you feel depressed, hurt, and alone. It can keep you from enjoying the activities and places that are part of your life.

Types of Bullying:

Let's start by looking at the different kinds of bullying:

Physical bullying means:

• Hitting, kicking, or pushing someone...or even just threatening to do it
• Stealing, hiding or ruining someone's things
• Making someone do things he or she don't want to do

Verbal bullying means:

• Name-calling
• Teasing
• Insulting

Relationship bullying means:

• Refusing to talk to someone
• Spreading lies or rumors about someone
• Making someone do things he or she doesn't want to do

What do all these things have in common? They're examples of ways one person can make another person feel hurt, afraid, or uncomfortable. When these are done to someone more than once, and usually over and over again for a long period of time, that's bullying.

The reason why one kid would want to bully another kid is this: when you make someone feel bad, you gain power over him or her. Power makes people feel like they're better than another person, and then that makes them feel really good about themselves. Power also makes you stand out from the crowd. It's a way to get attention from other kids, and even from adults.

Guiding Questions:

1. Why is communication so important during an emergency?

Communication is very helpful and important during an emergency because it can inform you that where is the hurricane, where is it heading to, when is it going to stop and everybody needs to be aware if their community is getting stroked by a hurricane, and they need to be ready for everything.

2. What forms of communication have been used during recent disasters e.g Hurricane Katrina, the Tsunami?

I think that they have used radio, television, cellphones, and the internet of course.

3. What essential information needs to be communicated during a disaster or emergency?

The information needs to tell them that when and where is the disaster going to appear, and they should be ready and prepared.

4. What information can be created before the emergency? What information needs to be communicated during the emergency?

The information that needs to be created before the disaster strikes is that they have to report to people that there is e.g. a hurricane coming and the people need to move to shelter and they need to get their food, clothing and family to the shelter for safety.

5. What hardware and software is required to be able to communicate online?

Mobile phone:
A really helpful mobile phone is the Blackberry phone because what is good about all kinds of mobile phone not just blackberry is that if we are hit by a hurricane and experience a 9-day power/land line phone outage.

Investigation Guiding Questions:rff

A.How can I make use of established and emerging WWW tools to support online
publication?

We can make use of WWW by using Micro Soft Word, Publisher, and web 2.0 by posting some information in the internet by using them. we could post pictures and information, so people could know whats going on around the world and maybe could help like in Palestine.

B. What are the best tools to use for effective communication online?

I think the best tool for the world and the community is using HTML or an online newspaper because there are alot of disasters going around the world that could read and understand by these online helping tools.


C. How can the Internet be used to help a community prepare for and survive
a disaster?

The internet could be used by HTML or online newspaper too, like famous websites like Google, Yahoo by posting what is going on.
