My video focuses on parents and i am having some time with coming up with whether i need ot spend most of my time saying that parents need to do more with their kids or give more statisics on kids behaviors due to the lack of parent supervision.

As i have been working on my video and trying to balance what i want to present i am not clear on how to cite the pictures and the text. I know there are multiple ways to do so but im not sure what is the best way so thay you can understand it the best.

1) You can tell this text and picture goes along with my audience because it is telling parents to not allow their child to play violent video games.

2) they chose this because parents are not watching what their children are doing and as a result they are becoming violent

3) The use a picture with a parent and a child playing the video game and the parents saying dont allow your children to play violent video games

While thinking about making my video i want to make sure i am doing it right and giving the best information to parents about violence in video games. I want to make it unique but informative. I guess seeing my videos and seeing what different things i can incorporate would help.

This video shows how video games can cause violence. In the scene it was like they were playing a video game in real life. the boy was shooting everyone that wasnt want to play video games with him.

copy right laws

I know i have used something off the internet whether it be a picture or a song unethically. I think that having those copyright laws it does nothing. people find different ways everyday to get around them. I feel like artist or other people that post things up ont the internet say they care but in reality they know people will use their things no matter what. Having the laws ust makes people try harder to find ways to get what they want.

In class

We recently completed a worksheet on paraphrasing and citations. I have the worst trouble with both of these things. I didnt do as good as i would have liked but when we went over it all it finally clicked a little better. I guess i just need some practice or coaching throught it again. I cant just rely on these websites to make the citations for me. I need to learn how to do them and feel confiden tin them.

Like i said before in another post i do not really have the right grasp on the lit. paper yet and im still having trouble narrowing down what i really want to focus on with the video games for my annotated bibliography. I want to learn more about video games and violence but there is so many different ways i can approach the subject im a little lost.

annotated bib

Kirkley, S. E. and Kirkley, J. R. (2005). Creating next generation blended learning environments using mixed reality, video games, and simulations. TechTrends. 49 (3) 42-53.

Designers Kirkley and Kirkley addressed “the challenges and issues of designing next generation learning environments using current and emerging technologies”. Throughout the discussion they were concerned with how to “balance design tensions between meeting learning objectives and creating engaging and fun learning environments.They discussed elements of context, collaboration, and support for student learning, and they included a section about the importance of fun in constructivist learning environments. The article concluded with a discussion of a game tool for instructional designers which is under development by Kirkley and Kirkley. This article does not represent a good study and the authors write from the perspective of commercial developers, but their development experience and their background in academic research contribute to the value of this discussion.

Google

I found it interesting that most people do not actuallly know how to use google. They think they are doing everything and looking up the right things for papers or everyday life but really they are doing it all wrong. This website gives many helpful tips on what to do and how google works. Im not sure if alot of people will really sit down and take the time to read this or if they really care. I think this is a helpful site and could do college students some good to look into.
