Checking your sources

These are the ways to investigate whether a video is a hoax or not:

+Ask these questions to yourself:

1. Is it clear who has written the information?
2. Are the aims of the video clear?
3. Does the video achieve its aims?
4. Can the information be checked?
5. When was the video produced?
6. Is the information biased in any ways?

+ Investigate whether if the evidences supported the video's findings

+ Look at some of the comments of the video, if it's repeat a pattern of negative comments, it MIGHT be a hoax video.

+ Are you suspiscious that the video might use omission?

Flotilla Protests Homework

• Have you had a look on various sources to find out what Marc (Marc3pax)does?

Now that I feel a little bit suspicious. I decided to view the video on Youtube. As I went through the comments of many users, I saw A LOT of negative comments saying these are lies and cannot be trusted. Then I decided to check his Youtube profile and saw that that video was the only video he posted. By that I know that he is not a reliable user and is not supported. As I dig into it deeper, I found that he's describing Palestinians as dangerous homophobes to justify the oppressive of Gaza.

• How does this video relate to the flotilla movement?

He did mention about Hamas and the Israeli-Palestinians. And he talked about the Free Gaza Movement, how he sent an email to the group and got rejected because his participation would not be in the overall interest of the flotilla. 

• Is the video objective (based on facts; unbiased)?

I don't think that this video objective. He used omission to miss out facts that radically changed his whole message. And he provided bias information without having reliable evidences; sources. He could have tell us how did he know all of this, could have provided another reliable source to support his message. Therefore, this video is NOT based on facts.  

• Is there evidence supporting Marc3pax’s findings?

Well, there was some short video footage and images that supported some of his findings.But for most of the important findings like shut down the office of the human rights NGOs, he just said without any proves. He doesn't even let the users know much about him, like: His last name? College attended? Group he wrote the letter to. And once he put up the pictures, I have no idea what those pictures about, because it doesn't relate to what he's saying. It doesn't support his ideas.

Project 1 Review

I think I should've added more advanced key words that I've used in my project. I think some of the big words are included but not much. This word cloud tells that my Project Review is long enough and included several big important key words.

Blogging Rule #4

4. Treat others that way you wanted to be treated

I think this is very important because this can affect your relationship you have with other people. As you say bad things to a person, they'd eventually get this feeling of being hated therefore might decrease their self-esteem. Before you thinking of saying any bad stuff to anyone, imagine yourself in the role of that person and know how they would feel. Don't cyber bully or cursing on the internet, or else they might get revenge in order to reclaim their rights. Treat others the way you wanted to be treated, with respect. We don't want misused the internet, do we??

My ICT Target

Hello everyone, my name is Annie. I like to draw and listen to music. I like to try new things when I'm inspired. This blog is for my ICT subject and I will be using it to post my homework and projects. My one target this semester in ICT is to learn to use different softwares, especially Photoshop because I like to draw and want to learn how to create shades and colors on the computer. I would be happy if I get to learn how to make animations too. If there's anything that relates to graphics, I will try my best to learn it...
