Digital Citizenship

The quiz that we took today opened my eyes on some of the facts about digital media. I was really surprised that 85 percent of children has been taught internet safety by there parents becuase I was not taught fully by mine. I by far use my phone the most and usually to text so I can stay in touch with my friends. One upside is that I  can contact my friends anytime. A down side would be that I become lazy when using digital media. I feel like most of society today has the same problems I do and it also benefits them in the same way as well. Overall, digital media has its ups and downs in effecting life as we know it today and will continue to grow, but safety always should come first in everything. Your digital footprint is everything that can be found online about you. To have a positive digital footprint you have to be extremly careful about what you post and what other people post about you. This is important becuase many colleges and jobs have people that look at your digital footprint to see if you are worthy of being accepted. Digital media is sadly used to bully others. Cyberbulling accurs usually when one person has an insurcuity about thier own life so they hurt and judge others to make themself feel better inside. It is linear to talking to someone behind there back in a way becuase they are not hearing what your saying directly from you, but instead the two people are more then likely separated by miles.

First Week of Sophomore Year

This first week has gone by so slowly I feel like its been a month already. Compared to last year, my schedule is so much easier… for now. Being in advanced classes, I know it’s going to get much harder as the year continues. In most of my classes all we have done all week is get things set up for the school year and take universal screeners to see where we need to improve the most. BORING!!!! But I know this school year is going to teach me a lot and I’m excited about what’s to come.
