My Korean student named Jung Jae Won’s journal.
SOCIAL NETWORKING DISTRUCTS THE ATTENTION SPAN OF STUDENTS
Technology changes rapidly. From the old-fashioned snail mails to the new and fast 3G video calls. Indeed, everyone is qualified to be called a geek. The computer savvy people come from all ages, from your neighbor’s youngest cousin to your grandmother. But most computer users are proven to be us—the youth (students). How do social networking sites affect the way students study?
Today, Friendster has more than 13 million active members in the Philippines. Friendster is also the country’s #1 social networking site. In Korea, people don’t really have Friendster or Facebook, because almost 25% percent of the South Korean population has Cyworld. And just like any other countries in the world, students are among the top users. In America, researchers surveyed 219 students at Ohio State, including 102 undergraduate students and 117 graduate students. Of the participants, 148 said they had a Facebook account.
An Indian student was killed because of posting a little something about him in a social network that is popular in India. This is perhaps an extreme example of the social impact of these social networking websites such as Facebook, Myspace and Friendster on today’s youth. So instead of asking a new friend his home address, we rather ask his Friendster’s URL or if he’s on Facebook.
Students’ attention is separated by two worlds – the real and the virtual. The real world is all about submitting projects, doing homework, passing tests and so on. While the virtual world is about giving friend requests, approving new comments, sharing photos and everything that is digitally connected. But which world is better? Which is much more fun to focus on?
Forgetting that they have Science test tomorrow, students chatted through Facebook’s walls. Their grades were affected and going down period by period. Because social networking sites are highly addictive, high school students who use Facebook spend less time studying and have lower grade point averages than students who have not signed up for the social networking website. This is according to a study conducted in the States.
The effects on students are really getting destructive on some points. They are addicted to the extent that their performance in the real world is negatively affected. The technology changes so fast, and so as the students’ future.
What can be the solution? How can we prevent students from being addicted? Should we really prevent them? Like locking personal computers up? Blocking networking sites to be accessed by any student? No matter how we try to stop them from accessing these sites, they would just keep on trying to log in. So, what should we do?
Keeping students away from computers isn’t a good solution. But bringing education attached to these sites is one of best ones.
A good way to start is by adding simple challenges to solve every time we click anything in a social networking site. If we want to approve a pending friend request, we must solve a simple Math question like 200-45= ? and if we get that right, we can approve the request right away. Instead of those Farmville, Restaurant City and Pet Society games that we play on Facebook, why don’t they replace them with Texttwist, hangman, Scrabble and other educational games?
Students may spend less time studying because they rather go on social networking sites. It’s hard to change this, and we couldn’t stop big sites from operating just because we want them to. So the best way to prevent destruction is not by killing them but by taming them, rather changing them into better sites.

Who doesn’t love Big Bang? We all do!
Big Bang
But searching the web for the best fan-made sites about Big Bang is so confusing.. There would be 7,840,000 searches from Google, 14,300,000 from Yahoo and some 63,465 from Naver, if you typed “Best Big Bang Fansite”.. (actual figures may change or vary) And they multiply everyday.
The Leejaedi Productions site isn’t one of those Big Bang Fansites that you see in the search engines mentioned above. What we want to do is to help people find the exact things they want. And this post aims to help you find the BEST BIG BANG FANSITE (written in English language only) in the world. Read “about” page for more info about us.
The nominees for this polling service are judged with these criteria:
- Multimedia contents
- Website profile
- Updates
So the nominees themselves are really good enough to stand on their own, but this poll isn’t searching for the good one, but the BEST of them all.
Of couse, the poll starts today October 16, 2009. Anyone can vote, so the more ‘fans’ those fansites have, the more chances of winning this polling game. The official winner will be based on the total number of votes on the Official Poll placed below. (Just that.. And oh, Leejaedi Productions isn’t bias. So all nominees will receive fair* treatment, *as fair as possible) And polling ends December 31, 2009 and the winner will be announced on January 1, 2010. (What a good New Year will that fansite have, eh?)
Winning this doesn’t end there.. But sorry to disappoint you Admins, because you won’t receive cash. The winner will receive special electronic banners (Just digital pictures of different sizes. We will show you as soon as we finished updating our system) that could be posted on their site. It has their own logo, website address and website name with the claim as BEST BIG BANG FANSITE 2009. (we may include a very humble text like “Source: Official Survey conducted by Leejaedi Productions as the 2009 Best Big Bang Fansite” as this is really necessary so people can check on our site to prove your claim as the best fanmade dedicated to Big Bang).
And also, the winning site will be the topic of the special video documentary that will be posted on Leejaedi’s Official YouTube entitled “____________ IS THE BEST BIG BANG FANSITE 2009″ by the end of January.**
**Prizes and dates of release may change without prior notice. So administrators must keep in touch with Leejaedi Productions for the updates.

(Info about the Poll system, *Multiple choice is activated for those who can’t decide *The names are in a random order (not a biased arragement) *People can vote as many times as they want (this may be a cause of commotion, but blocking by cookie and IP address can be problematic for some voters. So if you think the other admins are voting 24/7 for their sites then why don’t you vote for your site 25/8? *Results won’t be published until the date of announcement mentioned above.)
Result updates will be posted every Sunday only.

I Saw the Sinking of the Titanic October 1, 2009

add a comment
It was cold that night of April 14, 1912. Many were sleeping in their
own cabins. I suddenly felt the engine of Titanic as it stopped. The
silence put a scary feeling on me. ‘What’s going on?’ I said to myself..
I was traveling and living alone. But it wasn’t that sad staying on
this 3rd Class cabin because there were others whom I shared my room
with.. I had made friends with Adam Smith and David Phillips. They’re from
England and had been planning to work in an American company.
My birthplace was in California, United States but was raised in
Scotland. So after 20 years, I’d be returning to my homeland.. I was now 25
years old.. And it seemed like it was just yesterday since I left my
real home..
Adam and David were peacefully asleep when I left our room to check why
the engine had stopped.. Before I reached the deck, I met a 3rd class
staff on the hallway. He said there was nothing wrong and adviced me to
go back in my room. But I could tell he was lying.. There was sweat
all over his face. And he talked as if the unsinkable ship was about to
sink.. I thought that’s impossible to happen.
I got back to my room and tried to go to sleep. But I just couldn’t.. I
closed my eyes for minutes.. It opened automatically when I heard
people crying for help.. My two friends were awakened by the commotion.
When we opened the door, people flooded on the corridors of our cabin.. We
were terribly shocked when we asked one old man on his 40’s “The ship
hit an iceberg. The captain said it won’t last for hours. And they
don’t want us out of here.”
It was the scariest 5 seconds of my life.. My heartbeat pounded
heavily.. I thought it was the end my life.
The people in front of the doorway in the corridor destroyed the locked
gate without second thoughts.. The staff kept insisting the ship
wasn’t going to sink. But people were mad..
The next few moments were scarier than I thought. Boats were being filled
with people. The staff and crew members kept shouting “Women and children first!”.. White
fireworks were lightened in the dark sky.. A band cheerfully played
music.. People ran here and there but it was so organized as though it was just a simple fire drill. They had lifejackets on them. I had none
and my worry was I couldn’t swim..
It was the first class passengers who went on boats first.. While some
3rd class had to beg for them to ride the safety boats.. It was a
matter of wealth and their social status.. Since children and women were the
first priority of boats I had this feeling that I wouldn’t get a
chance of riding one, so my friends and I ran to the stern -the rear end of
the ship..
After an hour, the last boat was filled and sailed.. Now, the thought
was ‘a man for himself’.. Most of the people left were men. While some
women decided to stay with their husbands until the end.. The bow of the
ship was slowly being eaten up by the cold Atlantic Ocean.. I held
tight on my grip. I heard Adam said ‘Good luck buddy..’ while David said
‘See you on New York.’
They’re right. I should survive this. We should see each other in
New York.. I should see my family in California. They’re waiting for
me..
The next thing I saw was the world largest luxury ship being eaten by
the ocean. Is this for real? The lights all over Titanic went off. People made a little commotion as it
happened. It had made its final vow. As if the stern was pointing to the heaven for its final goodbye.. The ship was sinking and it wasn’t slow.
It felt like a train bulleting down a hill..
I closed my eyes.. I felt the water as it splashed my face.. It wasn’t
actually icy cold. It was hot because tears were falling from my eyes..
Suddenly, I felt being sucked by the ocean.. But I struggled to swim to
the top.. And fortunately, I managed to come on the water surface.. I
felt lucky, I didn’t know how to swim and didn’t have any lifejacket
but now I was on the surface again. I caught my breath.. Titanic was now
gone for good.. The unsinkable had just not managed to survive.. The
luxurious ship was now heading her way to the ocean floor of the
Atlantic.. With her was a thousand and more people.. Indeed, the world’s
largest ship was gone.. But at least, I was on the surface again..
But my little achievement was changed with total grieve.. I wished I
hadn’t gone on the surface. I wished I had sunken with the Titanic.. I
wished I died with them.. On the surface were hundreds of people. All
were crying for help.. It was really the most terrible thing that happened. What
was left now were people crying for help.. But there wasn’t any
answer.. And there wouldn’t be any. It was the coldest night..
The ghastly cries were slowly diminishing as hours went by.. It was
very cold.. I could see a lot of people but I didn’t see Adam and David. I
knew I would never see them again..
I fell asleep and didn’t care if I would be waking up again.. All I
want to now do was to sleep.. It was a very tiring night.. The next thing
I felt was my soul flying away from my body.. And there was silence..
After a while I opened my eyes again.. I thought I could see my family
waving at me.. But they weren’t there.. I was wrong to say that I would
never see my friends again.. There I saw Adam, David and a lot more
from the ship.. And I felt relieved to see we were sailing on the
unsinkable ship again.. Titanic was, indeed, unsinkable.
