media type="custom" key="23919798" Hello i am a senior here at Long Beach Poly high school. I enjoy listening to music and hanging out with my friends. I have an older brother and an older sister and i am the youngest of the three. =**Topic 1:** Blogging= __video 1: What is blogging__ In this video i learned many things abut what blogging really is and how it even got started in the first place. The video talked about all the reporters and how they posted different stories and things and soon it turned into blogging. The video also talked about the whole purpose of blogging and why people even started using it. They gave an example of why people used it they said that people who were buisness owners used it to help spread the word or get the message across and so anyone would be able to blog. People use blogs for differnt reasons they use them so they can comminicate and spread news that they want people to know. An example they gave of that was that people use blogging to share things about their families or friends and buisness owners use it for their business.

__video 2: Post to be private__ From this video i learned that you need to be careful of everything that nyou post online. I also learned that just because your page is private does not mean that other people can't see everything that you post online. Another thing i learnd from this video was that you have to be very careful on everything you post because once you post it it stays online forever even though you delete it. You also have to be careful on who you have as your friends because not everyone is who they say they are and not everyone is who is on their picture profile and it can be someone very different or it could also be a scammer. So overall you have to be very cautious of everything that you post online.

__video 3: Social Networking__ In this video everyday teenage students were asked if they had any social networking pages and if they did they were asked what they used their pages for and why they were useful to them and most students just use it as a way to communicate with their friends, They also mentioned how you have to be very careful on everything you post on the internet because some people could find a way to use it againts you. I also learned that you have to be very careful on everything you do online because sometimes some people that hire you in a job could look at your profile to look at the kinds of things that you post up on the internet and they could use it againts you and not hire you for a job. They were also asked if their parents knew everything they did online and most of them said their parents knew what they were doing and that it was important that they did.

__video 4: Protecting online reputation__ In this video i learned that doing something in the internet and social media sites are very differnt than doing something in real life. In the video they gave an example that doing something embarassing in real life is not that big of a deal because yes people will laugh but soon they will all forget about it. Then they said that if you do something embarrasing online then you post it up it will be thee forever even though you delete it. i also learned that even though you delete something online off your page it stays on the web forever no matter what. You need to be careful on everything you post up and be very careful when posting things up such as videos and pictures.

=Topic 2: Digital citizenship= =Activity 2: "ATale Of Two Footprints Post"= Privacy is important online because you never know who can be looking at your stuff. From this video i learned that you need to really be careful of every move you make online. I also learned that doing something online is like leaving your footprints if your not careful of everything you put publicaly for everyone to see. In this video they gave examples of godilocks and snow white. In tje video they mentioned that both girls went into other houses and for example goldilocks left her footprints at the three bears hous. She left an empty bowl and a broken chair and then the bears got mad and roared at her. Then thyey mentioned snow white and how she helped the drawrfs out and they promised they would prect her. From this video i learned that every move you make is very important and that it is up to u on how you want your future to end up.

=Activity 4: "My digital footprint post"= I searched through the online pages and i found myself online. I typed in my name and found a post i had comented on on Facebook a while back. I was suprised to have found my self on line and glad that i did not find anything negative under my name. I feel comfortable with this asignment because now that know that if you put something online even though you delete it it is still going to stay with you no matter what. From this asignment i learned that i need to be very careful on everything i post on the internet from now on because now i know that it really does stay with you forever and it can make you lok bad if your not careful on how you use the internet and how everything is up to you. =Activity 5: Public relations word cloud on aspect of digital citizenship=

=Topic 4: Images and giving credit= =Activity 1:copyright, public domain, fair use and creative commons= From this video I learned that public domain is available to the public and is able to see by anyone because ii does not have copyright protection on its work and it does not claim to be owned by anyone.Copyright is the legal right to own any work like books,dance,songs,pictures etc.... and only that person is able to sell or distribute that work because only that person leagally owns it. Fair use is being able to use something that is copyrighted that you dont really need to get permission for like commenting on it, critisizing, or to make a parody out of the copyrighted work. Creative commons is like a license. If you really like something that is not yours but you still want to use it you are able to use it under certain conditions. You have to give the person who owns the work credit and make sure people know that its not your and that it belongs to someone else.

=Images Activity 2: Creative commons= Creative commons are basically all the work that is posted online that is able to be viewed by anybody and is basically a legal way to use anybodys work like pictures, videos etc. In the video they metion that the reason people post up things online is so that other people could be inspired by it and if you are the one that created the work you automatically own that work. That is called copyright and it protects your work so that it could only be used by things that you aprove of. Creative commons is a lisence so that people could use your work without going to you for permission to use the work. Creative commons is basically a way to set restrictions on your work so that you can decide in what ways your work can be used. You can decide what people can and can not do with your work.
