The biggest goal that I have so far is to go to college and recieve a bachelors degree in nursing. I hope one day to make a good impact on someones life and to change the world for the better.==== = = =Topic 1: Blogging=

Activity 2, Number 4 and 4A
__Video: Blogging__ I watched a video called "What is Blogging?" from it I discovered that in the 20th century news was only published professionally. But now news can be published professionally and personally thanks to blogs. Blogs are websites that normal everyday people use to post things about what is happening in their life currently. Bloggers often work together to promote their blogs, to do this they read, quote, and link things to different blogs. Blogs give people the chance to be involved in the news without having to go through the professional process.

__Video: Post-to-be-Private__ I watched a video called Post-to-be-Private. From it I discovered that even though you may have a web page that is private people on your friends list can still see what you are posting. You should always only add people that you know in real life because you never know what face can really be behind a profile picture. And lastly no matter what you should always be careful about what you post on the internet because you never know who is able to see it.

__Video: Social Networking__ I watched a video called Social Networking. Today I learned that jobs and colleges that you may be applying for will sometimes look at your profile to determine if they would want to accept/hire you or not. I also learned that you should give your parents some insight of what you are doing on the internet because they can potentially protect you from posting something that will harm your reputation in the future. This video reminded me of facebook because some people add others as friends even though they have no clue who that person is. Doing that can be potentially dangerous and someone should consider that before adding a random person as a friend on their profile.

__Video: Protecting Online Reputations__ The last video that I watched was Protecting Online Reputation. I learned that search engines are constantly scanning the web to take snapshots of things posted on the web and save it for future web searching. We should be careful of the things that we put on the web because anyone can eventually see it even if it has been deleted. It is our resposibilty to protect ourselves and those involved with what we post on the web. We should always think before we click because we wouldnt want an authority figure to see an embarassing post that we put up on the web.

=TOPIC 2: DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP=

Activities 2 and 4
Digital Citizenship Activity 1: Blog about "A Tale of Two Footprints" Privacy is important to me beacause I want to uphold my good image and I want to protect my private information from people that I do not know. Whatching the video "A Tale of Two Footprints" showed me that the choices that we make on the internet can leave a good or bad footprint. We should stick to wise choices when it comes to sharing public information. Digital good citizenship is important to know about because it can prevent a person from putting unflattering things of themselves on the internet and help to hold up ones good image.

Digital Citizenship Activity 4: Blog about your online presence I searched through 12 pages of hits but did not find myself online. I found others who either had my first or last name, one of them was a supermodel and the other a basketball player. From the looks of it they both have left decent digital footprints. I feel that this assignment was a great learning experience and it showed me that I havent made any digital footprints yet.

=TOPIC 5=

Activity 1: copyright, public domain, fair use, and creative commons
A compyright is a permanent fixed originl mark on a piece of work. One can't use a copyright with out the owners permission, and if you do you have to pay for it. Public domain is a work that is free for anyone to use. It is the status of a literary work or an invention whose copyright patent has expired or has never had such protection. Fair use is ised when someone where to use a certain amount of copyright for commercial input, news reporting, teaching, scholarships, etc.

Images Activity 2: creative commons
It is important to pay attention to a copyright because it can protect you and the person who owns it. Creative commons is a way to use some of a persons copyright for free. Creative commons provides a person with a free copyright license. It gives the owner the ability to share their copyright without having to give permission constantly. If I were to use creative commons in school I would use it for a project and I would take images and text from the website to help me to complete my project.

Images Activity 3: Finding Images and Photographs

Pinterest can be used in many different ways; (1) for fashion and all things beauty like me, (2) educational purposes, (3) for inspiration. Pinterest is free and from my experience secure. I believe that it may be able to help students but it might not be the most helpful site for a teacher.
