Tech-free Journal
First Day (May 25th)
When I woke up I realized that I shouldn't use electronic devices. Eventhough I knew it in the morning, after school when I arrived at home the first thing that came up in my mind was "turn the laptop". But I noticed the tech-free project quickly and didn't turn on the laptop.
At night I had to msg. If I couldn't I could've lost my prom date(and later I did:(). I had no choice! Also I used little bit of computer for scince lab report but I did not watch T.V, listen to music and other electronic devices. It wasn't really successful today!
Second Day (May 26th)
In the Morning I had to print, so I've used laptop, but nothing else until 9:45pm...
I came home, no one's at home. I don't have key! And I don't have phone. I can't get in. I have to wait until Jonghyeok comes home, but I can't assure that he will come. I don't even know the time. But I've just read through history notes, which I was not going to do when I had key and went in.
Anyway, later I had to go to the neighbour's home and call my dad for the key. Then I went in. And I got a phone call and went out for dinner! I've used telephone and laptop today which also not successful.
Third Day (May 27th)
Today I've used computer to finish of science lap report. And after school I had to study for tomorrow's history quiz, so I spent my time on reading through the notes. So I did not have chance to use any electoronic devices. I think that's all for today.
Fourth Day (May 28th)
It's the first time I have watched T.V. When I was doing my homework in my room and for a break I went to the living room which the T.V was turned on. Subconsciously my eyes rolled to the T.V screen and my ears opened to hear the sounds. I was standing and watched T.V. It was a t.v show that just have started and it was juicy which appealed me. It was fun.
Fifth Day (May 29th)
Today was JongHyeok's graduation. I went to congratulate him as his family member. I had to use camera to take his photos which my dad forced me to do. But it was after school.
____________________________________________________
I've used all the electronic device except of mp3 player. I think I can survive without music. And I couldn't use internet, because our internet was broken and did not work. So I couldn't used any online stuffs which was good. Even though I used my laptop, I did not use it for personal and entertaining stuff. Also I don't really use telephone so it was fine not to use. But the hard thing to control was to use my phone. Messaging was the hardest to control.

Unplugged
We are starting a new project called "Unplugged". We are going to NOT use electonic devices ; T.V, radio, Ipod, cellphone, dvds, internet, games. But some are allowed for emergency. We are going to try Tech-free for 5days and see if we sucess on it!
Wikiality Group Project (E. Evaluation)
We have finished our project “Wikiality”. I have tried to follow the design specification written below.
(Design Specification)
1. Find inaccuracy what I am interested in
2. Not only correcting the error add other contents that the Wiki has missed3. Edit/add at least 3 contents in one site
I found inaccuracy in Wikipedia which I was interested in. I found about one Korean female celebrity, who has deceived her age. In online sites, her year of birth was 1982, but with some other researches her actual age was 1980. This was subject which I was interested in and while I was finding the inaccuracy, I wasn’t bored. For design specification, I said that I would not only correct error, but also add other contents that Wiki has missed. So I was thinking about adding a photo of the celeb and add the high school graduation year of her. This will fill up the design specification number 3. But for the photo, I could only update the photo I took by myself. We weren’t allowed to use internet photos. I and my partner couldn’t add as photo, and we didn’t add add the high school graduation year. I couldn't achieve all the goals in design specification, which I would like to change later even when the project is finished.
(Evaluating criteria A, B, D)
First we had to research about Wikipedia. It was my first time of actually research and gets to know about a certain server. I found out that Wiki was created and edited by Wiki users, which was a quiet surprising for me. The task was to find inaccuracy in Wiki, which had possibility to occur due to the contents which is created or edited by the Wiki users. The inaccuracy or incorrect information can be distributed. This could have a big impact on human. Me and my partner Eun Ju, has changed inaccuracy about Korean Celeb’s year of birth. After changing I have checked 2 times reentering the site, but no one had modified the change me and Eun Ju made.
When I started the project, it wasn't appealing to me. But as I did the project, I starting to think the project was quite enjoyable. When I made change in Wiki, I thought that i could be a person who distributes correct information to other people in the world. Also I learned, I shouldn't use the advantage of Wiki in a bad way(vandelising). The project thought me even a little thing can distribute real quickly and change the world.

Fence Building Field Trip
On the 12th of May, our class gr.10, went field trip to the Ger district. The purpose of the field trip was to build fence, which was related to our previous technology project called "Enclosure vs, Exposure". We head to the place and we ate lunch on the way. On our way, Mrs. Griffith was with us and explained to us about the place we are visiting and what we are going to do. We arrived in the Ger district and looked around the community center 'Flourishing Futures'. We saw little kids having a class. After, we walked to other places near. We saw Winky dink travel agency owned by Mrs. Griffith and the places where some families live whom Mrs. Griffith knows. Mrs. Griffith talked about fund raising dinner held in Hong Kong and the amount of money that was contributed to her community center. She was touched when she talked about it.
After visiting certain places where Mrs. Griffith showed us, we went to build the fence. There was a land and we had to dig a hole for the pole(for fence) and dig mounds of dirts for toilet. I've dug for a hole for the pole. When we saw the hole, it wasn't really dug up. When we dug and we have placed a pole inside. In the hole, my whole arm fit. We put the pole and finished up with putting small rocks in first, than bigger rocks as it fills up. We used a long piece of metal stick to finish up. When I finished up with the hole for pole, I went to help to dig the toilet. I used shovel for this. It wasn't easy as I thought and it required labor. For me, it was hard to handle the shovel. Anyway I had fun digging with the shovel. The place dug up for toilet was reaching my shoulder. We have dug a lot.
Before I came to build the fence, I thought what can a small group change. But when we actually dug a hole and place for toilet with effort, I realized we can make a change or we can actually do something that helps. I was proud of myself and it was fun field trip missing some school lessons! kkk

Wikiality Group Project (D. Create)
Wikipedia Responsibility Agreement signed!
Correction Done!
Me and my partner found inaccuracy about korea female celeb. The birth year of Han ye-seul was wrong. Me and my partner Eun Ju have researched about and found the right information. After signing wikipedia responsibility agreement, we went into Wiki. We logged in and we edited. I pressed the button "edit", and changed the year of the celeb's birth. Then we added her present age. But, there was an error. In the profile of han ye seul, we shouldn't have added her present age. The present age of her was calculated itself and appeared. So the first time of editing there was an error. So we changed again by erasing writing the present age of her. When we checked it later, her present age was there by Wiki's own calculation. Then we decided to add photo. We looke for her photo in googl image, but we found out that the photo can be updated with the photo I've taken myself. So, I couldn't update the photo. With little clicks and typing, I changed one person's profile, which some people will research about her and notice the change I made. I've checke twice, but no one has changed it. It was really easy to edit.

Wikiality group project (A. Investigation)
A) Investigation
Wiki is free online encyclopedia which can be freely and simply created, modified, and deleted by volunteers. It is collections of web pages collaborated. Wiki was created in 2001 and rapidly spread out and reached to largest reference web site in the world.
Larry Sanger and Jimmy Wales is the founder of Wiki. As Wiki is enable to be created, modified or deleted by the users the users are the creators.
Wiki is very well known web page with tons of information we can get. It appeals more to use Wiki because it is one of the largest reference web sites that provides trust in them.
The Wiki users can edit them. When the wrong or incorrect information has been updated, the users who are normal person, professional about the topic edits it.
My task is to find out the incorrect or inaccuracy content in Wiki and fixing it like how the information in Wiki is produced/edited.
It is important for me to learn about Wiki, because Wiki is such a well known server and there could be incorrect information. When incorrect information has been created the other user will correct and edit again in a minute to a day. This shows that wrong information can be distributed extremely quickly and easily. It will definitely have impact and inaccuracy information can be spread out to people to people.

______________________________________________
- Where does Wikipedia gets its information?
Wikipedia is server with collections of web pages. The information is from other sites, professionals, and users. Contents and edits are only from the wiki users. - Who is in charge of deciding what goes into an article and what gets removed from an article? There is no one officially chosen to decide what goes into an article or removed. Mostly, users are the one who decided whether to edit or remove it. When the content shows the inaccuracy too much and if it is vandelizing the established editor or administrator decided to edit or remove.
- If there is some debate about whether a particular bit of info should or should not be included in an article, what is the process for deciding? Mostly, debating in Wiki happens with keep editing and fixing the information in Wiki. Also the editor with more sources will win the debate and will be able to keep the contents in Wiki.
- How reliable do you think Wikipedia actually is?
Wiki is in all languages in the world. A lot of people in the world will rely on it. However only within the name of Wiki people just believe all information which some are not correct or not acccurate. We only should rely on the Wiki 40% and rest 60% should be relied on other sites, information from teachers, acquaintances, books, and other various medias. - How would you know whether a particular article really is accurate?
If an article in Wiki and few other sites are very similar then we can say that the article is accurate, but by only seeing Wiki and saying the article is accurate, it is not. - How would you go about discovering whether an article contains inaccurate information? As I mentioned above, referring other few sites are a way to discover whether an article contains inaccurate info.
(Method of finding inaccuracies on Wikipedia)
- Step 1. Before entering Wiki, enter other few sites.
- Step 2. Compare contents from different sites and Wiki with cautious perspective
- Step 3. Use common info that are at least in 3 different sites and if there are info with doubt research again
(Finding an inaccuracy on Wikipedia)
Ye-seul han korean celebrity has decieved her age and the truth has revealed. Her birth was 1980 but in Wiki it is written 1982, not have been edited yet. The birth of Ye-seul should be changed 1982 to 1980.
(Researching to back up my corrections)
http://juneslee.egloos.com/9649449
In the site above, Ye-seul's graduation year of high school is shown and the calculation of her age referring different events on her life has been shown. Certain people will think that she could have attended high earlier and graduated. Mostly in Korea, people start their first year of primary at the age of 7 and people in certain grade are all same age.
(Evidence)
Ye-seul has graduated Cerritos high School in 1998. If she was born in 1982, she graduated her school in a age of 16, which does not make sense. The site above is the evidence and in the site you can find her photo in yearbook of her graduating year.
