My PLE!!

The most valuable thing about my PLE is that I learned to create a link. to them. I like being able to see all the different things that I worked on. It is fun to see how far I came.

Okay the thing I least liked about my PLE is that sometimes I did not have enough to say about one thing, but it was not long enough so I had to blabber. It was tedious at times.

I am not sure if I will use this blog after. But I might make a different blog for my actual life!

Watching Video's about Internet Safety!

I recently just wanted many videos--60 minutes worth to be exact concerning internet safety. I learned so much. I watched all these different feeds about giving out personal information. I saw how it ruined a girls life by giving out her password to her friends. Everything can be degregating. Everything was very informative!

Readings of Internet Safety

The fourth article that I read was entitled, "Mixed Signals." The most important things that I learned from this reading were: 1. The computer has an off button. I should not be afraid to press it abruptly. 2. Be wary of pop ups, I should not click on them. 3. I learned that I should keep the computer in a high traffic area.
Now, how has this information helped me in becoming a parent/teacher? This has helped me greatly. I will teach youth that you should not always believe what you see or read. I will teach them to always keep the computer in a busy place to avoid temptation. I will monitor what is being viewed as well.
I can have a positive influence on my family and friends by just giving a friendly reminder of being safe and not giving out personal information. It would give me peace at mind if they would never do this.
