Week 14

1. What article did you choose to read for your article of choice?
I Have a Question

2. Describe the video resources you watched?
They were stories about kids who didn't realize what they were doing was unsafe. They didn't realize that anyone could find out more information about them even if all they give is an email address. The videos also included bullying. Adults and kids alike create websites and screen names to hurt other people. If you give out your information, it is likely that they will use it against you.

3. Write a paragraph describing what your most important "take-aways" were from the readings and video?
Be safe. Never put too much information on any website. If someone wanted to, they could do searches and find out everything about you. Also, if you know someone found out a password to your email, social networking site, etc. Change it immediately and let your friends know. This will protect you when/if someone else has logged on and said things that you wouldn't say.
4. Write a paragraph or more describing the details of your "doing" experience (you don't need to include any names).  This might include:
a. what did the person already know about the topic
She knew more than me. She knew not to put anything you wouldn't mind if anyone saw on the internet because once it is there, it available for anyone to see/find. She also said not to let your kids go unsupervised while on the computer. This will help to keep them safe. Also, there are programs that block things such as chat rooms and even a firewall that you can put on your computer so parents can see who their kids are talking to at all times.
b. what was the person's reaction to what you shared
She wasn't surprised. She realizes that things happens if you aren't careful. She also said the internet is a great tool but can be very dangerous too.
c. what surprised you about the person's reaction to your message
It happened near my parent's home. It is always strange when things happen closer to home because everyone always thinks "oh that will never happen around here."
d. what do you think the person will do with what you have shared, etc.
I believe she will keep doing what she has been doing. She will continue to talk with her friends and her kids about internet safety and make sure they are aware of the dangers. She will also always be aware of who her kids are talking to on the internet.

I completed the University Course Evaluation in RouteY
I completed the Course Feedback Survey
I checked my grades in Moodle. I don't think there is anything that seems incorrect.
