Digital Literacy

Hey, 

 This week I'll tell you about what I learned on our terms : Publish, trustworthy, evaluate and criteria.
When you publish something, you're putting it out for the public to see. Not all things put on the internet are true though, in another term, trustworthy.

 

When it's trustworthy, that means you can use it and not worry if it's stolen, fake, lies, etc. It will be dependable and accurate.

When you look around for things like that, you have to evaluate it. If it doesn't stand out as you analyze it then you may not want to use it. Definitely when it doesn't stand up to the criteria needed. Criteria is moral standards on how you base your judgement.


Well, I'll tell you about the things this may relate to. When you publish something
and you forget to evaluate your information and it turns out it wasn't true,
you may not be able to change it easily.

 

 Especially if it's in print. Like books.
If you make a mistake in books, it's extremly hard to try to change it back to how
you need it. Though if it's on the internet, it's way easier to do that sort of thing
there.

For example: Presentations, if you mess up on a presentation on the computer
it is easier to change a mistake before you may get judged on the mistake
you made. For you using Mixbook, or Prezi as we learned this week,
if you mess up you can fix it easy peasy.



Also, this week we learned about being a good digital citizen and the
ways to behave on the internet. Maybe you can take these in consideration
when you go onto sites and things like that.



So, next time you're online, you
can think about these things. Just look at the presentation below to follow
the ways of being a good online citizen.

 

Welcome back (if you've seen the prezi)

So some positives on this would be you can do things much easier without

having to worry about buying enough posters for your presentaion.

 There is a negitive ornegetives to it, like sometimes it could fail

and you wouldn't be able to present for an impotant moment.

 

Next topic, learning about online ethics and being a good online citizen.

You kay wonder why you need to learn these things.

 

It's because

people on the internet sometimes tend to be rude or maybe they are acting

very obnoxious. They may not know these kinds of things they have to think about,

but you do. If more and more people learn about these things then mor people

wouldn't act they way they do.

 

It could creat a better online community for everyone. I'm not saying you

have to be all bowties and proper sayings, I'm just saying you should keep in mind

these guide lines so you won't be caught in the middle of ridiculous online

discussions.

 

It can affect you if your professors or someone that wants to hire you

but look at your facebook or blog posts and see you have a foul

mouth or you get in tons of fights, being disaggreeable.

 

 Then you may

have lucked out on the fact you couldv'e gotten that job,

or you couldv'e gotten into the school you've always wanted.

So to say, you should be careful.

 

Okay, on another subject, my week has been very nice.

My friends from the bus ended up not ditching me. Seeing as I still

ride the bus with them all in the mornings and afternoons. Now I

get dropped off with them too.

 

 Other than that, it's been a really slow week.

It's felt fun , I was very happy, except

of the fact I had to wear my hair curly...

I hope I didn't jinx myself though.

Let's hope the next week will go just as well.
