Blog Post #3



Dear, Readers



Some new terms that we have learned this week is a stereotype which means a popular belief about a group of people based on assumptions that are often false. An online predator is commonly someone who uses the internet to develop inappropriate relationships with kids or teens. Manipulate is trying to influence someone to do something they might not otherwise do, for one’s benefit.


Some web 2.0 tools that we learned about is make beliefs comix, goanimate, animoto, and chogger.  Make beliefs comix is not a good thing to use I don’t think so because you can’t save your work. Goanimate I really like using it because I used it in a project and I got an 85 on it. On goanimate you can save your work and add your own pictures. It is basicly like a comic site. Animoto is a website where you can make free 30 second video’s I also like this one because I did a project with it an make an 95 on it. On chogger you can draw your own characters and make a comic with them. All of these tools are comic tools and very fun to use when you play with them I bet that you would like them.  I don’t believe that these tools have any negative aspects.


The digital literacy components that we learned about is the positive and negative interactions with strangers online, some stereotypes that people believe are true, people being manipulative, and how to avoid sexting. This information affect me a lot because now I know what to do and what not to do online. I also know what stereotypes are and to not believe most of them because if you focus on a pacific stereotype then you will think that it is ok to do whatever with who ever as long as you are the same age.

Overall my week has been good and bad it was bad because of my grades that I got on my report card. I had a good week because I got to see all of my friends and also my dad understood my grades and we are working to better them before the next report card or progress report.
