The new Web 2.0 tool that was presented to us was Glogster. Glogster allows you to put information, pictures, and videos on a background that looks like a pinboard! This tool was very fun to use. We used this tool to show 5 tips on being real online. Lots of people put fake facebook profiles online. While you are online you should base your profiles on your own personality. You persona is what people treat you as. I found nothing bad about this new web 2.0 tool, I love it!!
Here is the ling for Glogster: Glogster Link
Below is my glogster I made.
Cyberbullying affects me greatly. Going on the internet, I have to watch my back while going on sites all the time. It gets annoying.
We watched a movie Tuesday about cyberbullying. The movie was titled "Cyberbully". The movie was about a girl who had gotten a laptop for her birthday. After getting the laptop she made a social media profile on a site call "Cliquesters". After making her profile, her crush added her as a friend. Her friend saw how excited she was and got annoyed thinking Scott only wanted to hook up with her friend then never talk to her again. After that her friend went home and made a fake cliquesters profile based on a gorgeous guy from another school. This "gorgeous guy" added Taylor Hildredge, the main character who got the laptop. After adding her "he" started flirting with Taylor. One day at lunch that was all about to change. Scott, her crush, asked her to the dance. Samantha Caldone, who had made the fake account based on the "gorgeous guy" was not happy. She went home and put a status saying "Taylor hildredge is so nasty and gave me an HIV" After that, it was all harsh for Taylor, everyone was cyberbullying her. Below is the actual movie.
Our DDL this week was about giving out your personal information. Think about this for a minute. If someone you never knew had asked you for your bank account information, would you give it to them, no of course not. "So", you ask, "what does that have to do with facebook or myspace?" well, if you give your personal information out at any time, they could ruin your reputation by putting things on you profile that isn't true. By giving away your profile username and password, is like giving the person a free ride to mess with your persona. Also, you should always make passwords no one would guess. Try using long passwords, or password about information no one knows about.
The digital literacy component was about being real online. When you present yourself online, it needs to be about YOU. While making a profile on Facebook, put a picture that represents you. While putting your age, height, weight, so on and so forth, put true information. If someone sees you in person and you don't look like what you put online, they may not except you. On the other hand, while playing an online game, it is okay to exaggerate sometimes. People get on games to get away from reality.
