Chapter 6

1. What type of issues would you worry about in terms of students producing content of sharing with the world via the web.

The issues that I would worry about my child or students being on the web or Internet are giving their personal information to a stranger. Because children can easily become a victim of abuse at any time. Another worry I have is children is being hurt through there peers or classmates, for example name calling.

2. Identify three practices or rules that you believe would be good practice in protecting students on the web. Elaborate on why you have chosen each?  

I think three good practices is have a good virus protection, have information sessions and always talk to parents and students how to protect themselves. A virus protection can help against hackers. The information sessions can help with getting the right information and protection out there for both groups.

Chapter 4..........Reading and questions assignment!!

1. Novel Study with author participation?
I think this would be something that the author is going to blog about his own personal feelings and thoughts. Maybe this is his way of getting others opinions and ways to improve his work.

2. Students at two first nation schools in New Brunswick and British Columbia recording and sharing native stories and music?
This would be a Wiki because it will give information about where and how they learned the stories and music.

3.Daily science journal?
This is a blog because it keeps track of daily thoughts and events that went on.

4. Student creative writing with peer review?
Students writing and peers giving there review is a wiki cause the information can be changed.

Coffee at Tim's

The other day I went for a coffee with a few friends of mine. I was asking them about technology and their kids. One parent was talking away how someone asked him why he didn't agree with his 13 year old daughter on the net all the time. His answered that there is some many more things that she can be doing besides talking to friends and family on line. He also said that talking to friends the old fashion way by picking up the phone. He mentioned that there was a fear of predators and having some pictures on facebook. I really enjoyed talking to them about there views about the internet and technology. I asked him where do they see technology going and they answered its moving so fast I wouldn't know what to say or even think where its going!!

Happy Birthday Mom!!

Today is my mom's birthday and I'm so happy to have her in my life. She has to be my number one supporter for being a single working parent and a student. She was always there for me in the times I needed her the most. She was the one that really pushed me to go back to school. So I thank her for always encouraging me to do positive things for myself and my daughter. I hope that some day I can repay her for all the times she help me with raising Daisy.

My mom is a language teacher at the Metepenagiag Elementary School and she struggles to keep the Mic Mac Language in the school system. I hope that some day our language can be stronge again in this community.

Spring Fever!!

I think I have spring fever cause I'm really tired of this snow!!! I wish the nice weather would hurry up and get here. I miss going to on my evening walks and walking in the outdoors even though I work out at a gym I love the spring and summer time.

The days seems alot longer now and I hope old man winter goes to sleep for a while!!

Facebook and MSN

For the past couple of weeks I was without a computer because the power source burnt out in my computer. I was really fustered because I couldnt keep in contact with friends and family I really realized how much I depend on the computer for entertainment and for my everyday routine.

I was fustered because I had to go to family members to use there computers to check my email and even pay my bills on line. I was really un comfortable asking someone else to use there computer because I'm a really independed person and having to do these sort of things on their time.
