My assigned topic was Access. It is about how there are tons of kids all over the world who don't have access to the internet or even laptops. Thankfully there is something called the $100 laptop which is on the access page to learn more about it.
The strengths of my groups were that we communicated well, (at least me and Chris). our weakneses were that we didn't communicate outside of our school.
I feel that my poster is very informative. This also is about the $100 laptop.
I think that digital… Continue

Communication and Collaboration is about how people tech others about how to communicate with others with electronics. I worked and told people what i was doing and gave them some advise. I think my poster is informative because it shows people what communication is all about. I don't think I will discuss the digiteen with younger kids because it might be hard to understand.

What I found important are that so many people use emoticons without knowing what they mean. Some weaknesses in my group were that we had a lot of words and we kept repeating them over and over again. Some strengths in our group is that we knew all about out subject and did an excellent job pasting pictures and all of that. Yes, One person wrote a lot about the subject and put one picture up. Yes, it is. My poster defines the definition netiquette and talks about the many ways to chat/talk onlin… Continue

I did Rights and Responsibilities and Scrutiny/Integrity!
This is about the right that you have to read true information on the Internet, and the responsibility you have to check whether what you read is false or true. This can even be dangerous if it is a money offer and you give away your address or even your email. Some scams are harmless chain mails but others can scare people into doing something that they don't want to do.
I didn't really get to talk with anyone in my group. They added a l… Continue

Hey My topic was commerce (generally blogging talking and buying on the internet) It was pretty easy and I got it done fairly quickly, But I think my whole group could have used its time more wisely. the poster I made seems fairly informative and eye catching but I don't think it was that important, If I were a elementry school teacher I would teach about internet safety. I think the most imporntant thing I can take away from this is how easy it is to get attacked on the internet and for people… Continue

I did internet security and safety- entertainment. I learned that you should never talk to people you don't know and don't want to give of personal information. I think kids should learn about this when they start to get laptops and facebook. I really hope younger kids can have fun on the internet and still stay safe.

I worked on Law-Freedom and Customization. I learned that there is a lot that is illegal and you can get in trouble for that people don't know about, for example, downloading music form Lime-wire is illegal. I think my group worked well together and shared work pretty evenly. I feel my poster demonstrates through pictures how computers and law meet. I think most kids are smart enough to not get in trouble. I think the older kids like the high schoolers are the problem. The most important thing I… Continue

Bad posture and texting while driving can really affected you. My partner helped edit the page and really helped. Yes. It is a good poster and it shows lots of pictures and has good information. No. Some young kids may not get it. 10-20. To stay away from strangers on the internet.

Hackers

There are two very important terms, which are misused by many of us on a day-to-day basis. These words are hackers and crackers By hacker, you probably think of some teenager living in their parents garage who has way too much time on their hands. The truth is, most of the successful hackers who create viruses are really intelligent adults who will spend great amounts of time creating a virus that will make your life miserable. Sometimes they are paid to do this, other times they are ju… Continue
