 In our media communications class we all had to choose a different subject to talk about and to start it off Reeces blog was over learning. In his presentation we learned that most kids that do online gaming want to teach other people what they know about the game. Plus we learned that in school they teach you to do it by yourself and not with others because that would be cheating but kids these days are teaming together on online gaming and they are working together. A lot of kids are learning how to mod there gamer tag or avatar on online games.
Next was Jordon and she did hers over virtual worlds and we learned that if soldiers have post dramatic war then they go to this therapy and they have to put on these goggles that will put them in a virtual world. Plus when one soldier came back it took his a hour to go get toilet paper because he thought that someone was going to come out from a street corner and get him. In the virtual world people can do whatever they want to do.
Next was Raquel and she did hers over relationships and this girl kept on posting bad pictures of herself on this website just so that she can get attention from other people. Plus this little kid kills himself because all of the kids at school were bullying him and then finally when he got home he got bullied online too. Plus we found out that "The virtual world mirrors the real world".
Next is Vincent and he did his over living faster we learned that some kids think that the internet is there life and they can never be away from it. Plus we learned that we have technology everywhere we go like bed, shower, ect... Last thing we learned was that there was a kid that had to have the internet or some type of a way to reach out into the world or he would go crazy!
