Story 3 Polar Bears

Posted by Karis Robichaud , Wednesday, May 19, 2010 6:33 AM

(The view form a polar bear) Narrative 

I live, in the Arctic areas. Alaska,Antarctica,North Pole,South Pole
My species is slowly becoming extinct,mainly due to global warming.
My species is already use to this cold climate, and if we were to move
everything would go out of whack! We can't change overnight.

Ice caps are melting and we need land to maintain ourselves on.
My mother polar bear has to swim so far to get food and sometimes 
mother polar bears don't go come back.

If we were to be whipped out of the ecosystem 
we can effect everything! Not just animals.
We can effect humans by changing the whole animal food chain.
we would loose certain species as well as gain unnecessary ones.

We need to work on saving this species,unless we want the entire 
ecosystem to go out of whack!

Digitales Story Rubric

The story, A trip to the moon , by the first graders Jason and Pam, this story happened to be very interesting . Although its very cute, this is important too because, it shows how advanced first graders are due to them using technology to create a digital story. This does not show how its culturally aware though. It could be more culturally aware if they took a trip to another place other than the moon, but its cute!

For my second digital story, i chose how fashions are different around the world. This shows how everyone is culturally aware all because their outfits are different. This can relate to the graduate portfolio because, the graduate portfolio explains about being culturally aware.

Graduate porfolio reflection - story 1

Posted by Karis Robichaud , Friday, April 9, 2010 5:34 AM

 
    
    The digital story we completed in global tech, is similar to CSI's Graduate portfolio.
 This project is similar to the graduate portfolio for many different reasons.It's mostly similar
to sections ; "21 century thinker" and "Culturally Aware". Its fits this two sections because,
the video explains how technology is advancing, and the many changes around it as well. This affects
the world too. This is similar to a 21 century thinker because, we went through many changed during
this century, especially with technology. Due to the technology advancement, this affected the worlds
technology. It introduced something tottally new. Its "Culturally aware" because this shows how
every other part of the worl is affected some how. It shows everyone around the world
how things have changed and how things will probably advance even more through time. So therefore
this digital story shows how similar it is to CSI's graduate porfolio.

Digital Story 1

Posted by Karis Robichaud , Friday, March 26, 2010 5:38 AM

'

This video is about the many changes,this generation has been through.
Generation Y has seen many positives and negatives with
technology, and the world. Many things also change besides Technology, like Music, and Television. 

Story 1 Draft

Posted by Karis Robichaud , Friday, March 5, 2010 5:59 AM



    Our generation has had many ups and downs and changes overall. Generation Y has sky rocketed in technology with many different advancements in it.
Such technological advances include ; Computers , Ipods were a major hit, Cellphones started to advance into touch screen.Due to the cellphone touch screen, ipods also started becoming touch screen along with other technologies. All this technology helps out the world and the peoples it holds everyday.
    Also during Generation Y, we have had a lot of global ups and downs. One global down that hit us all to the heart was 911.This caused people to lose loved ones.Another global negative was when Chili and Hati had a horrible earthquake. Recently we've expericed a major economic collaspe and are currently in a ressection.One good thing recently, America wone the most amount of medals in the 2010 Olympics.These are some major impacts generation Y has had.
    One of the most missed televisions shows, were 90's television, especially from the orginal disney and nikoldeon. Nikoldeon and disney both had many comical shows we all enjoyed as kids while growing up. Disney as well had many funny shows that we all wished would come back like Boy meets world, Thats so Raven , Lizzie McQuire etc. Recently reality tv shows have had a high television ratings. Many young people love these shows and get a kick out of it. A few major popular reality tv shows are: Jeresy Shore , 16 & Pregnant, and many love searching wannabe celebraties tv shows.
    Besides televsion, technology, and global, music has also hit an alltime high. Many people relate through music and its helps express feelings. Music started to change over time. More metal/rock started to become popular, like in the 90's green day and blink 182 started to emerge. In the 2000's more music started turning into alternative,pop, and rap.Music is a very big deal and there are many iconic people in music industry that have a major influence on us.
    So generation Y has had many ups and downs and will continue to have more as time goes by, but as for now we should just enjoy it while it lasts.
