This module we talked about internet safely and may issue in the internet. One is the cyber-bullying, the other is teachers use social media communicate with students are right or wrong?The cyber bullying I think it need stop, this issue is not only in the USA but also in my country. I had some nieces they are using the internet everyday. The iPhone with they are all day. I do not think this is a god thing in their life, they are still teens, but do not have Tina. This is so terrible thing. I have a fond useful website which is talk about cyberbullying by government. I feel this website is helpful for parents and teachers to define if their students or children have cyberbullying.The second problem is about social media. I this the social media have a double side apple with students and teachers. I think the teachers need have students' social media account if the students want, but don't need to connect to them. So after this week studying I realized we need follow some suggestion from this module:
  • Never give out personal information online, whether in instant message profiles, chat rooms, blogs, or personal websites.
  • Never tell friends or anyone other than your parents your password.
  • Don't respond to mean or threatening messages. Save or print them and show them to an adult.
  • Never open emails from someone you don't know or from someone you know to be a bully.
  • Don't bully anyone.
  • Don't put anything online or in an email that you wouldn't want your classmates to see.
  • Don't send messages when you're angry. Before clicking "send," ask yourself how you would feel if you received the message.
  • Don't join in when other people are bullied online. Show bullying messages to an adult. 
  • Always be as polite online as you are in person.
And I highly recommend the parents and teacher pay attention their children and students did they have issues on the internet.This model also gives some cyber-bully methods include:
  • Sending malicious email and text messages.
  • Sending someone's personal or embarrassing information to others.
  • Breaking into accounts and sending inappropriate messages as if the messages were from the account owner.
  • Posting or sending images of people without their permission.
  • Excluding someone from social networking groups or blocking their email or text message without cause.

In model 7,  I learned how to create a wiki page. My choose is wiki space. This is my first time to do it. It is so difficult for me. I had many problems with different steps. But I also feel it similar with Blog. But the Blog can be more entertainment. So the first class design on wiki is about teaching art with special needs. Why I choose this topic design, because I realized that although the students with disability, but they also can be a artist.

My class plan:


  • Your wiki topic
        teaching arts
  • Target participants
        students with disability (young children)
  • How you plan to monitor the wiki. In other words, will you monitor the wiki or ask someone else to monitor?
        I will monitor the wiki and the parents who have children with disability 
  • What will the monitor assess? 
        The monitor will access parents to discussion, and I will respond their questions
  • What will be the course of action should the monitor find inappropriate content or use of the wiki?
       If any inappropriate content or use of the wiki is found it will be determined
  • Which wiki software you will use and justification for your choice
       wikispaces

Photos and Editing

This week I learned how to use technology to edit the digital photo. Before this module, I never consider that how to use the photo and edit photo is necessary. With my prejudice, I think the photo just for entertainment, and Photographic is for Photographer. I don't need to consider the photographic technique when I take photo. But now I realize I am wrong, the photo technology  is how important in our life, even in the Art Education.
According this module, and to be a art teacher in the future. I could be teaching art history, art skill. But how can I explain my curriculum and concept to students? The context or PowerPoint? I think picture is the first and direct way to introduce my class. But how can I made a good picture in my future teaching life. I think this module reached me a lot and I also did some practice in the module. Such as PS my photo to highlight my main concept in the photo, and use camera to take photo, because usually I use my phone.
There are some photos I did in this module, I had a lot fun while doing the edit on my original photo. And I also posted those photos on my social app, it got a lot good responds, and my fried told me that I had a big improved on the photo technology.

The up two photos was took when I did volunteer on OAKLAND


This photo was took from last year, when my family came to see me. This was in morning time, I brought a cup coffee , and enjoy the time with my family. My cousin saw a display of old car, she was so interesting in this exhibition. So we took so many photo from this car display. This picture is the original photo what I took.






After learning this class I realize that I took a lot beautiful car photos at this car display, but many photos have had problems, such as composition, exposure, main subject unclear, and etc. So I tried to fix it. This photo is a PS photo from the first picture.

After this week, watched a lot multimedia knowledge. I realized that I did some wrong when I made powerpoint. So according this module I renewed my powerpoint about history of art education. Compare those two PPT I think the renew one is more clear and powerful.



the first one is renew 


  • PPT design principles:
  • 1. High contrast 
  • 2. San serf
  • 3.18pt+ Front size
  • 4. Left justified
  • 5. High Quality Graphics




Compare two articles, than thinking my thought 


For me I will more agree with David Byrne. Because I am a designer, I like use image to talk my idea. When I do presentation I will fond some picture to support my idea. But the in the art education it is a conversion cafe, various roles inside. So the Powerpoint is a communication tool to translate the message. If use in the right it can exact translate but if the images or words are not exact, the students will accept wrong message.

For me, I consider that when I teachering students I will use powerpoint on my art class. On the PPT use simple words, image and animation can helps students understand the art history and project. Also, using PPT I will have more confined in class, because I will know my next plan. But the class communicate also very important. Students can exchange ideas and I will know how they understand on my class.
At the end of the class we talking about the copyright. For me I think the copyright law is right. It protect original design, Also push people to creative new design.

On this module, I realized that I did many mistake before on my powerpoint. This class told me how to fix it and give example, it is very helpful when I to be a art teacher.
