What is an annotated bibliography?

What is an annotated bibliography? Why do you have to write one for this class?

 An annotated bibliography is set up the same way as a regular bibliography in the sense that it is alphabetical. The annotated part is a summary and/or evaluation. This would be important because it will explain that even though the title of a source does not sound scholarly, we can back it reflect the truth in the summary. The annotation can also include a reflection to shoe how it shapes your argument. What is confusing if it should include all or part of these. Should I include a summary, assessment and reflection of every source or just the few that seem to really need it? A summary is easy, even including an assessment should not be hard. It is including the argument that would be annoying. Sometimes I do not know how it can be attached my argument until after I put it together. I know it does not sound proper but it is true. I can relate it back to my topic but not always my argument. The annotation is also great to understand which source to follow when you find something interesting in another person’s sources.

Wednesday, October 31: Find at least one image that you would use in a presentation about your topic and cite it correctly. Also find an additional resource you’d use in your research project (it can be anything!) and include an annotation summarizing the article and how you plan to use it in your research project.




Ciliberto, Kayla. "Bullying." 2012. PNG file.
I edited it today but took this picture years ago.

U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. "Bullying Definition | StopBullying.gov." Home | StopBullying.gov. U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, n.d. Web. 2 Nov. 2012. <http://www.stopbullying.gov/what-is-bullying/definition/index.html>.

On this government website they detail what bullying is, types of bulling, frequency of bullying and where and when bullying occurs. This site gives great details in an organized way that is beneficial for our project and they cite statistics to back up what they are claiming.

CRAWFORD, NICOLE. "New ways to stop bullying." American Psychological Association (APA). N.p., n.d. Web. 4 Nov. 2012. <http://www.apa.org/monitor/oct02/bullying.aspx>.

This is a trusted website I adore. The APA is wonderful. This article is from a bullying expert (the author is just reporting on it) and have peer-reviewed research. All of this information is useful for seeing long term effects bullying can have both on victims and the aggressor.  
"Nansel and colleagues also found that:

• Bullying occurs most frequently from sixth to eighth grade, with little variation between urban, suburban, town and rural areas.
• Males are more likely to be bullies and victims of bullying than females. Males are more likely to be physically bullied, while females are more likely to be verbally or psychologically bullied.
• Bullies and victims of bullying have difficulty adjusting to their environments, both socially and psychologically. Victims of bullying have greater difficulty making friends and are lonelier.
• Bullies are more likely to smoke and drink alcohol, and to be poorer students.
• Bully-victims--students who are both bullies and recipients of bullying--tend to experience social isolation, to do poorly in school and to engage in problem behaviors such as smoking and drinking."

I am having a lot of trouble getting the link to work for this blog.

As a citizen of the nation of Facebook (or "Facebookistan"), what are your rights and responsibilities? How does this podcast--and a larger discussion of social media, which includes using blogs--fit within this class?

I honestly hate that this is an hour long podcast. This shouldn't be a podcast. It should be more of a video. I have seen documentaries of this topic that are more effective at giving this same information in detail.

Facebook can give you all the information you ask for it? I didn't know that! That would be cool if it was in USA. Mine would be thousands of pages long because I'm an avid Facebook user.

Facebookistan? Seriously? You don't have to have a Facebook. So why are they whining?  It is my right to choose to have one. I have many friends that use fake names on Facebook. Facebook has violated rights making people very upset. I realized this and made sure to hide certain things from people. I am very careful about that. I add many people on Limited Profile list. It is my responsibility to choose what I display on Facebook and what sort of applications and games have access to my information. I do not allow applications to post on my behalf without my permission. I do not allow applications to have access to my pictures and basic information.

This podcast relates to our class in the sense that Facebook is taking our information "without our permission". Like I mentioned in class, the information I post for my friends to see, I don't care if other people see or use. I posted it carelessly. It didn't matter to me to share it with people. It does make it easier for plagiarism. It makes it easier to steal information from many people and it makes filter bubbles more predominant too because it knows location and facial recognition.
