This week i learned about Cyber bullying and how to prevent it. First of all Cyber bullying is harming another person using the web. To prevent Cyber bullying follow the steps listed

  • Tell a parent or guardian
  • Tell an adult 
  • Ignore it but if it is constant than tell an adult
  • Just tell them to stop and than dont reply  
What im trying to get at here is tell and adult this will help everything even if it was embarrassing just do it it will all get better soon.

This week i learned about copyright and creating multimedia products. I learned that when using writing tools to write a  paper that you should always site your information with EasyBib or else you could be accused with copyright infringement.  
This week i learned how to find reliable site for research. The best sites for research end in .gov or .net any other site could have false information. For example sites like Wikipedia can have public changes so you can get false answers. To find a trustworthy site check to see if the site has a written author with background info or just a author name. Also look for when it was last revised because if it was written a long time ago and has not been changed since then it could have new information that has not been written.
This week i learned about viruses. People can get viruses by clicking on unknown links or adds that seem tempting but can really mess up your computer. To avoid getting a virus dont click on ads because their is a high chance that you can get a computer virus. This week I also learned about Identity theft. Identity theft is someone else trying to pass of as you. This could happen if the person has your id or credit card to show some type of identity to pas of as you and could take your money or give you a bad reputation.

Week 3
I think people should be more careful about what they send to people because if it ends up in the wrong hands it can ruin your life. Somethings that you think will be deleted after you send always are stored in a hidden database for safe keeping and is never permanently deleted. Be careful about what you tell other friends on the phone because they can screenshot it and send it the others.
Some ways to keep you safe while communicating with other people digitally are
Do not send personal information to other people who you don't know.
Don't post something you don't want others to see.
Don't send pictures or video messages to people you don't know or even friends because they could save it or screenshot it and show others.
These thing can help prevent you from online danger.

Week 2
I think the future of computers are going to advance in technology, and hardware. I think in the future the computers will have similar changes like the size and memory capacity. I think computers have come a long way, from computers to smartphones was a big step in technology. Computers will become humans #1 source of information in the future if we keep advancing at a fast rate. As Bill Gates said in an interview "computers will be more intelligent. They will see more, hear more, and just generally be more pervasive."

Digital Literacy is the ability to navigate, evaluate, and create information using different types of technology. It also means using and knowing about technology and being aware of the effects it can have on people. Don't spend a lot of your time on the internet or you will become addicted. "One gifted boy in Korea became so addicted to the game 'World Of Warcraft' that he didn't eat or drink for days and eventually died from dehydration. He played for 36 hours straight and left a note saying that he wanted to join the heroes of the game he worshiped". You do not want to repeat the awful events that happened to this innocent boy. Digital Literacy is an important skill set to have because it helps you life a safe life on the internet and helps you learn how to control your internet addictions.
