online courtesy

being mean to someone online is much more easier than being mean to someone offline. the internet makes it very easy to be mean to someone because you can make fun of them anywhere anytime. when using the internet please be courteous to all around you. no matter how much you think you're being funny it hurts the person you're being mean to. always treat thy neighbor with respect no matter what. http://www.teachthought.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/cyberbullying-2.jpg

The internet is forever!

Be careful with what you post on the internet because no matter what it will be there FOREVER! Before you post anything be very careful and mindful of what you post. Don't say mean things about anyone and don't post provocative picture of yourself, your future employers will have complete access to whatever you post and they will use it against you. To keep yourself safe just say to yourself, "would i like my future employer to see this? my future spouse? future children? my parents?" and if you say no to any of those questions, then don't post it.

Current event about technology

The current event i chose was about a teacher named Jory Yerkie at Rock Hall Elementary School in Rock Hall Alabama who bought iPads for all of her second graders. In the article it talks about how her students all had their own individual iPad's in her classroom and how they all used Discovery Education to do their assignments. Yerkie said every student worked more efficiently and were more behaved while using their iPad's. I think it's a great idea to use iPads in our schools and classrooms because its a great and easy way to tech and learn but at the same time it could be bad. The children may become to dependent on technology and then what happens when they go to a school where they have to learn without an iPad?  They wont know what to do. What i'm trying to say is the iPads are a great idea but use them in moderation, teach without them for a day or two and then use them for a day, let the kids see how it is to learn with and without them.  http://www.myeasternshoremd.com/news/kent_county/article_745dbea0-97e7-598c-97f3-41040fa555c8.html

why its important to pick the right password

It is VERY important to choose a safe password because it is very easy for hackers to hack your bank accounts and your Facebook if you use easy passwords. Hackers can wipe your bank accounts clean and steal your identities in less than an hour depending on your password strength. Keep your accounts and identity safe by creating a safe password, be sure to create a password difficult enough to where a hacker cant hack it but still easy enough to where you can remember it. Take it from me, one of my social media account got hacked two years ago and they were spreading lies on there and everyone began to hate me... I got the account back and explained that i got hacked but what if i didn't get it back? they could have ruined my life.  Take this advice i have given you and create yourself a safe password.
