Blog wrap up

Thank you for looking through my blog. This year taught me many new things, it was entertaining and a good experience. I learned from internet safety to making a smart board out of Wii motes. This was a great year and I hope to have more in the future.

Thank You

Netiquitte quiz

Jules has walked away from a lab computer without logging off. Trish sits down and, still logged in as Jules, sends inflammatory e-mail messages out to a number of students and posts similar messages on the class newsgroup.
Trish is sending mean emails under somebody else's account. I think it is terrible that somebody would do that because any info on the web can be stolen or looked at by anyone giving the person who sent those letters a bad reputation. Another sanrio without computers would be note passing between people and pretending a person wrote it when they really didn’t. A way to solve this problem is to make sure you wait for your computer to completely turn off to prevent any issues.

Lester sends e-mail to the entire student body inviting them to a BYOB party at his house while his parents are out of town. Lester receives a message from a system administrator calling him in for a meeting with school officials. He objects because he feels that his email is his own private business.
Lester sent  an email that the school saw, to all his friends about an unsupervised party. I think he is partially correct about his privacy but he needs to understand nothing is safe on the web. This could happen just as easily as a gossip scenario, where this info leaked out through the school.

Web 2.0 project Module 2

 This is a video of how to get onto sweet search my web 2.0 project. Sweet search is a safe search engine for kids that blocks any game websites or websites that have nothing to do with educational values. Other features it contains is a social studies website that gives you the latest and the oldest news. This would be good in a class because teachers would not have to worry as much about kids goofing off or seeing things they aren't supposed to.

Google apps Module 2

This is my Google app aviary. Aviary is a digital arts program that edits music and images and saves them on your computer.
