Typing Test #1

Today I took a typing test and my net speed was 33 wpm (words per minute).

Digital Respect

I feel that this module was the most useful one we have done. This module was about cyber bullying and how it can effect someones life. People respond differently from being bullied. Some may ignore it, while others may harm themselves. If you experience being bullied, the best thing to do is tell an adult. Most adults would know what to do in the situation. Most bully's do not even realize they are bullying someone at first. Its great how most teens want to stop cyber bullying. Cyber bullying is a crime so, remember to think before you speak.

 

Multimedia Products and the Web

I have learned many things from the Multimedia Products and the Web module. Downloading illegal music and movies can be very dangerous. You can get charged with thousands of dollars that effect your life tremendously. I also learned that almost anything can be copyrighted. It is illegal to put copyrighted information up on the web for people to download for free.Critical Commentary- The process of using copyrighted material to try to prove a point. Lastly, I learned that a good blog should have good security and storage capacity features. 

Internet Resources and Credibility

I have learned many things from the "Internet Resources and Credibility" module. One thing I learned is the dangers of plagiarizing. Plagiarizing can effect your life in so many ways. It can effect your grade, reputation and future. Another thing I learned is if the URL has a domain of .biz, .com, .net, .org, it may not be a reliable source. Also the website may not be a reliable source if the author of the website does not use correct grammar, a source page from where they got the information, and if the information is scattered. Meaning, if the website jumps from topic to topic without making sense. 

Viral World

You may not know but, when something goes viral on the internet it could happen in the matter of seconds. One thing can travel from one person to another very quickly. From this module, I have learned many things about the viral world. One thing I learned is, it is very easy to catch a virus on your computer or email. If there is an attachment to an email that looks suspicious, do not open it. It is most likely a virus. Another thing I learned is, you should change your password on any account you have each month. It is very easy for hackers to get into your account. Your passwords should consist of capital and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols.
