My past week here at GECHS has been amazing. I have learned a lot about computers and how coding works in intro. to pub class. My first day was the best because we had a fun day like I have never had before. My second week of school is when we started getting all of our home work and that is how it has been every since but I am getting use to it. I have had three quizzes and one test so far and they have been super hard.
Some new term I have learned are Fair use:The ability to use a small about of someone’s work without their permission. Commercial Purpose: A use in connection with a business, usually for a business.Copyright: A law that protects a creator’s ownership of and control over the work he or she creates, requiring other people to get the creator’s permission before they copy, share, or perform that work.Creative Commons: A kind of copyright that makes it easy for people to copy, share, and build on someone’s creative work - as long as they give the creator credit for it.Public domain: Creative work that’s not protected by copyright and is therefore free for you to use however one wants.

Some new web 2.0 tools I have used are Schoology, Codecademy, Favicon, and hyperlink. . Schoology: the positive things about Schoology is that your teacher can add you to their classes page and you can see what you are doing for that day and you can see your grades for that class. The negative thing is that your parents can also have access to your page through their page and see your grades. Codecademy: the positive thing about codecademy is that it teaches you about coding and helps you create your own website and other nice projects. The one negative thing is that it is really difficult to understand it you don’t read the instructions.
The digital literacy that we learned is respecting someone's work and if you use their work make sure you use it respectfully. Also make sure you don't use someone else's work for your own or for any kind of profit like prizes
This changed my personal/academic life because all of the thing that we learned helped me be a better/smater person online and to learn how to give credit for the work that I use of someone else's. The main thing that I had fun doing was learning what a favicon was and how to build one of my own.
