I know that drunk driving is a pretty popular theme, I know that there are tons of examples out there and footage. (BA) (NG) Technology topics could include internet safety or cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is a pretty hot topic right now. Here are some resources: [|www.isafe.org/] [|www.cyberbullying.us/resources.php] [|www.netsmartz.org/resources/reallife.htm] [|www.stopcyberbullying.org/index2.html]

Oh, another hot topic, especially in my area, is sexting. Wonder if any PSAs have been made about that yet?! (TB) Here are some sexting resources (NG) [] []–-it’s-not-just-for-teens-anymore/ [] [] [] []

That would be good a good topic - it is current and involves technology. (NG)

Assignments:
let me know if the link does not work (dan)

__IDEAS:__ As you all know this week we have to submit the shot selections, etc. I have a few ideas which people are welcome to edit/change/love/hate. Cyberbullying takes place at home and at school so we can use either setting for our PSA. We could start with a wide shot of either a house or school, than go into either the bedroom or a computer lab, from there an extreme close up of either a computer or a celphone with an example of cyberbullying on it. This would only be the opening, I figure 10-15 seconds or so. (Bryan)

What other ideas do we have? If we can brainstorm and throw out some good ideas, the rest should fall into place. Also we need to assign roles, to be honest I don't kow if it matter who we assign to which role, it's more of a title only situation so long as we're all working togehter. (Bryan)

I found a great article telling how to create a good PSA. It says to be effective we need to get someone to take take one specific action. Also we need to consider who we want to take that action. Something else I read said that the drunk driving PSAs didn't really start making a difference until they took the responsibility to act away from the drunk driver and turned it over to family and friends - the "Don't let Friends drive Drunk" campaign urging people to take the keys away. So I think we need to choose who we want to take the action (parent, bully, victim, etc.) and pick one action we want them to do. It would be great to pick something to empower the victim. I am attaching the article that can help us write a good PSA. (Nancy)

[|DanOdayPSAGuide[1.pdf]] Good points Nancy, I think we need to make sure we address those points tomorrow when we do our online meeting. (Bryan)

Hi guys, let me put more ideas out there, I want to type them before I forget them. In tonights' chat we should talk about what part of cyberbullying do we want to focus on. Based on what I've read there's a lot to cyberbullying, more than what we can cover in 1 minute. We could focus on identifying a child who is being bullied, or making sure a child doesn't bully someone else.

I'm going to keep throwing out ideas, please feel free to disagree, when it comes to job titles, I think we should just fill in the blanks, I think all the really matters is that we get it done. Also let's keep in mind that no matter how much time and planning we do this week, once we start working on the video things are going to change, we'll find new video clips, etc. so I think the key to this week is good communication and team work, not stressing the tiny details that might well get changed next week.

I vote cyberbullying or sexting since both have to do with technology. I will work on anything - don't mind researching and writing once we narrow down the topic. Looks like Tamara needs the "shooting video" job. Should we set up a time to meet and chat to get things decided? I work 7:30 - 5:00 M-Th but can sometimes squeeze some time in during the work day. Just let me know. (NG)

//I like the idea of cyberbullying because it is relevant, but also because I could see it being a lot of fun and easy to run with. It could be simply recorded with a web cam or a lot of it could be recorded with desktop recording software. We could set up a MSN chat room or something and record a small chat with a bully in it or something :P (dan)//

If we've got 2 votes for cyberbullying than I'll vote for that as well. I'll do some research tomorrow. (Bryan)//

Cyberbullying works for me. It may be required for school districts to have an education program in place addressing cyberbullying as early as 2009-10 school year. Definitely relevant. Am available for chat any evening after 5:30 this week. (Nancy)

I vote for cyberbullying, too. Bryan is on the right track. I can chat this evening or anytime Thurs-Sat. I vote that we have a communications coordinator in this group to get the chat together, and I vote for Dan. (hehe!) (TB)

Can we chat within Google? A coworker in another group said they did that last night. Hey, Dan, can you make that happen!!! **:) (NG)**

[|Week 3 assignment 1 group]

thoughts about jobs - looking at the assignment and the jobs we need I thought we could define a little better what each person would actually be doing. please edit the roles as you see fit, I'm just posting my initial thoughts of how it could work.

1. Director(s) - fills out the assignments obviously everyone would help do that, but they would have the majority of input and others would edit as they see fit 2. Scriptwriter(s) - makes up the plot and script 3. Camera Operators - the one who shoots the actual film, probably easiest if it is just one person. 3a.Talent - decided by the camera operator - he can gather who he needs 4. Editor(s) - puts all of the film together.

if we each take one job then we could get this done fairly easy I think. if we need help we can just send out an email and ask.

IDEAS: using the shot of an empty classroom, showing a celphone with a nasty text, Nancy Gardner to digs.jones, bryanartman, digs.jones, bryanartman, tmbellah, digs.jones Jun 18 In the chat room: Dan Jones (digs.jones@gmail.com)

7:50 PM Dan: You've been invited to this chat room! Bryan has joined Dan: hi all 7:51 PM Bryan: how is everyone? Dan: good, i think we are just waiting for tamara Bryan: no problem Dan: i sent an invite 7:52 PM Bryan: so do we have an agenda? 7:53 PM me: Hi. Maybe we can use the homework sheet as our agenda and one of us can fill in as we go. 7:54 PM Dan: That would be great Bryan: I agree I can do it if you want Tamara has joined 7:55 PM me: Hi Tamara Tamara: Hi! 7:56 PM Bryan: The first thing on the homework is a title, I suppose at this point it can be a working title. Tamara: so let's brainstorm 7:57 PM Dan: 21st century learners and 21st century bullies
 * D

Tamara: Step Up Online (as in take a stand against cyberbullies) 7:58 PM me: What message are we going to try to convey about cyberbullying? I like that one Tamara: It sounds like we want to take the victims perspective? Or maybe the perspective of a parent in this situation? me: We can reach out to those that see cyberbullying happen and empower them to take action 7:59 PM Dan: we could just do an informational approach, and explain what it is, give examples and such me: I saw "Don't let others get Bullied - say something" idea Bryan: these are all great ideas, but I'm a one thing at a time person, does that mean we want step up online as our title? Tamara: Take a Stand Agains Cyberbullying? we're just brainstorming ;) 8:00 PM Bryan: cool me: I like both your ideas Bryan: I do like the idea of using one perspective 8:01 PM Tamara: maybe we should do an informational psa for parents? Dan: one perspective is good Bryan: I can get behind doing a psa for parents or students, to me those are the two best options Dan: i like the idea of info for parents because i think a lot of them don't know how bad it can be Bryan: i'll vote for parents 8:02 PM me: Keep in mind it is one minute. How much info can we give a parent in one minute Without it being informational overload Bryan: with one minute we can only focus on one aspect of cyber bullying, i.e. warning signs Dan: if we shoot it in a way that they get interested we can end with a link to a site that can helps 8:03 PM then they can go for more info i think we should just really try to get them aware that it happens and try to get them to learn more on their own Tamara: i like that idea, Dan...like it a lot me: I like too. 8:04 PM So we might need more title ideas 8:05 PM Bryan: ok, so we need title ideas to go with the focus of making parents more aware, am I right? me: Yes Tamara: how about "Don't Be a Crappy Parent" just kidding! Dan: I like that one! Bryan: I'm going to throw out some key words, maybe they'll help, opening eyes, realizations 8:06 PM cyber dangers, becoming aware Tamara: 21st Century Parenting Bryan: good 8:07 PM Dan: that one fits well with the theme of this program i like it Bryan: don't forget, it's not written in stone Tamara: alright, so let's go with that for a title for now and change as needed? Bryan: ok 8:08 PM me: Ok Bryan: does everyone want me to type or does someone else want to? 8:09 PM Dan: go for it me: Purpose - To inform parents about the signs of a child being bullied online Tamara: sounds great Bryan: good, is that our only purpose or is it about what cyber bullying is as well? me: audience - Parents, teachers, who else? Tamara: i think we should keep it narrow - audience: parents 8:10 PM me: Put both purposes for now and we can narrow if we need to Tamara: good idea Dan: just thinking about sets... 8:11 PM we could do some shots of an empty classroom which would give us a good chance for voice over that could be our introduction me: How about actual kids telling what is happening to them or what they are feeling Bryan: question, this psa will be video we film as well as clips from the internet right? 8:12 PM me: Is Tamara our camera person? Tamara: i can be! i have all the stuff handy Dan: i vote for tamara me: What about subjects? We need to know what you can do 8:13 PM Tamara: my husband is working basketball camp next week so i have mucho access to kids/school areas Bryan: on the hw sheet, what exactly is the difference between a set and a location? me: That would be great! 8:14 PM Dan: i would guess sets are spots we set up locations would be like if we went to a playground me: set is a pretend world and location is real world. You may not necessarily need both Dan: or a set could be a chat room we record on the computer me: My husband was a theater major Bryan: ok, so for starters, our locations would be a classroom, what else? 8:15 PM Tamara: i can shoot whatever/wherever...good job Nancy ;) me: Location - bedroom, house 8:16 PM Bryan: good, thanks Tamara: i could do a kid's bedroom and we could cut to a chat room? me: Since a lot of this takes place in "private" that would be good 8:17 PM Bryan had added some of those ideas on the wiki Bryan: idea- the introduction could be an empty classroom, talking about how we know what the dangers in a classroom are, than we cut to the bedroom and talk about unknown dangers 8:18 PM props- desks, computer, bed, what else? 8:20 PM Dan: want me to write a script? Tamara: sorry got cut off...i'm thinking a shot of a computer and all kinds of other technology around it in a bedroom Bryan: we should all chip in, but if you want to be the main writer, you're welcome 8:21 PM me: I think we do need to decide what our points will be before we get too deep into sets Dan: i'm working summer school as well, but as the tech support, so i have lots of time as long as stuff doesn't break x-( 8:22 PM me: I don't mind helping writing a script. Should we list points we want to cover and go from there Bryan: that works 8:23 PM Tamara: sounds good Dan: point: bullying happens in your home Bryan: but can we finish assigning crew and schedule of deliverables first? me: Yes Bryan: thanks, I'm a little anal about somethings like that, sorry 8:24 PM Dan: that's good, there has to be atleast 1 in the group other wise we wouldn't get anything written down :D Tamara: lol i agree Bryan: cool, so who's the director, Nancy you have a theater husband 8:25 PM me: I will do anything except I think one person needs to shoot video for consistency Tamara: alright i'm the shooter Bryan: I have Daniel as one script writer and Michelle as the camera operator 8:26 PM me: That's fine. I don't know exactly what the job description is Dan: none of us really do we can make up the description to be what ever we want Tamara: that's the nature of these lamar classes... Bryan: nor do I, but it doesn't really matter if we all work together me: Okay 8:27 PM Dan: i say we put down Peter Jackman as our director and see if they notice ;) Tamara: lol Bryan: Talent? Dan: None here 8:28 PM me: I don't think that is one of us!! Dan: put down nancy's husband
 * D

Bryan: ok, I will put Nancy and myself down as co scriptwriters Tamara: perfect Dan: looking at what we turn in, i don't think it will matter 8:29 PM me: Me either. Bryan: Editor? Dan: it seems like they are just checking to see if we have something down that matches our video and if our video is good Tamara: i think dan should edit Bryan: Daphne Dean is pretty easy to get along with and a pretty easy grader Dan: that's fine, it will be done with window's movie maker :D 8:30 PM me: It will be hard for more than one person to edit Dan: very true Bryan: I went ahead and made sure that everyone is listed on the crew sheet at least twice Dan: awesome, you are good at this bryan me: Tamara will just need to make sure that she can get video files to Dan in the right format 8:31 PM Tamara, do you use a Mac? I saw that you used iMovie Tamara: i have both at the moment Dan: as long as it is .avi or some other standard it will be fine me: I have both - used iMovie for my digital story and MovieMaker last week 8:32 PM Bryan: ok, so what is this schedule of deliverables? Is it the script outline, narration script, etc.? Dan: script - by monday 8:33 PM shots by friday me: What is due next week? I haven't looked at week 4 assignment Tamara: that works for m Dan: editing by the following friday final turning the monday it is due 8:34 PM of course we can do it quicker but that could be a guideline Tamara: looks great - i'll just need the script so i can shoot and send it to dan next week 8:35 PM me: Once again - they are only looking for a plan and us working as a team so as long as we have reasonable dates we are okay 8:36 PM Bryan: who will do the narration? Tamara: i think we need a male voice me: Me too 8:37 PM Dan: paper rock scissor for it bryan? Bryan: can we get the guy from the all state commercials? Dan: j/k - i can do it Tamara: lol Bryan: I'll do it if you can make it happen Dan: when i get down to the editing i think it will be easier if i do it me: Most PSAs I've seen don't have music 8:38 PM Dan: then i can play with the speed and such to make it fit me: Makes sense for the editor to do it. 8:39 PM Bryan: ok, thanks, fyi, on the schedule of deliverables, I'm just kind of filling in the blanks, especially with the names, please feel free to make any changes Dan: how bad do we want to go with these bullies Tamara: bryan whatever you fill in i will turn in gladly Dan: i keep thinking about the girl that committed suicide and am thinking we want to be serious about this 8:40 PM Tamara: these bullies are pretty scary - should we mention the girl that committed suicide? sorry typed that at the same time as you Bryan: definitely a psa is never a joke Tamara: yeah let's try to scare everyone's pants off 8:41 PM me: so what are we telling parents - this is what it is Dan: I 'm just thinking about some shots we could have a friend texting or IMing about a web site made about a student called "Sally's a big fat whore" me: and this is how you know it is happening Dan: something along those lines 8:42 PM just as a disclamer - i don't know a sally, but i'm trying to think of how a student would make and name a website me: Happens 24/7 no place is safe 1/3 of kids being bullied don't report it talk to your kids Tamara: yeah i like that idea - check out a few myspace pages - they're ridiculous 8:43 PM Bryan: I have everything typed into the Google Doc for now, I want to start typing some of our ideas into the wiki page so we don't forget them Dan: honestly i think we have enough for our wiki page as far as a grade 8:44 PM but if we want to transfer for ease of use that is fine me: Do you want to just type brainstorming in Script area for now and then we can replace it with the actual script 8:45 PM Bryan: whatever works Dan: i'll work on the script tonight/tomorrow and send an email tomorrow Tamara: awesome 8:46 PM Dan: i was not looking forward to setting up groups and doing group work but i'm actually enjoying this thanks everyone! me: We are al used to doing our own thing Bryan: I'm the same way, did you notice my control freak side? me: this is kinda fun Dan: lol Tamara: i feel very technological myself - good job group! 8:47 PM Dan: nope didn't notice bryan :D me: I think we have several "leaders" in hear.

Dan: nancy are you the tech facilitator at your school? 8:48 PM me: I an the district Instructional technology coordinator for 19 schools Dan: wow how do you like that? Bryan: peace out everyone, I'm going to keep typing a few more thoughts. Dan: cya bryan 8:49 PM Bryan has left me: We don't have campus full time specialists so it is a big job Tamara has left Dan: we have facilitators at all the high schools and one for every 2 middle schools 8:50 PM i'm trying to get on as one in the 2010 school year me: I don't feel I am contributing to the actual assignment much so I will put my two cents worth in on the script 8:51 PM Dan: lol me: Good luck I miss being out there actually helping teachers and kids with the technology. That was my last position and it was much more fun than this one Dan: i wouldn't worry too much, once you see my script you will probably need to put in aleast a dollar fifty 8:52 PM me: Okay. I can do just about anything but shoot good video. Do you think we need to fill in the shot list? 8:53 PM Dan: how about i'll send you a rough draft tomorrow and you can fill in the shots list i think we will need a bit of an outline before we can really narrow down our shots me: That works. I looked at the top and we do need the shot list. 8:54 PM When do you think we need to get together agin to make sure we all have the assignment ready to turn in Dan: i think we can actually get this done at least a week early if we want to part 3 we turn in on monday 8:55 PM and then we don't have to turn in anything for part 4 then the final turn in is the last week i would like to get it done during week 4 if possible, but we'll see how it works 8:56 PM me: I think we can finish early too. That's why I picked this group because everyone here seemed to try to get things done pretty early Dan: yep me: Thanks for getting us organized with the wiki and google docs Dan: my pleasure me: I will wait for your email. Gmail or lamar? Dan: it is fun for me to actually see people using it do you have a preference? 8:57 PM me: No Dan: i set up my gmail to collect my lamar email so i don't know usually which one i send from :P 8:58 PM me: okay. so i guess we've got a plan Dan: yep, i'm out talk to you later me: cya
