In our world today communicating has reached new levels such as talking on social networking sites, or texting. Here are a couple of things you should know while talking on the internet:


#1.) If you are talking to someone on a social networking site never list personal information such as your name, age, adress,etc. even if you know the person you are talking to other people can see your whole conversation.


#2.) If you have an E-mail account and someone sends you a e-mail that says mean things about you or about someone else show your parents.


#3.) If you have a account on a social networking site never upload a picture or you or your friends, because people can change what is happening in the picture.


Those were some tips on how to keep yourself safe while your on the internet, to learn more visit this website about Digital Citizenship.

 Today I am going to talk about Digital Law.


1. I learned that copyrights last a very long time. Some company copyrights last as long as the owner lives plus another 100 years.


2. There is a defense policy in court called Fair Use that allows you to use a copyrighted material within reason for uses such as teaching.


3. Finally, I also learned that if you use only 20% of what an article says and you use citations, it's not plagiarism.


There are many other important things in Digital Law, and these are just a few.

Cyberbulling has been a big problem for kids and teenagers for awhile. These are the three things I have learned about cyberbullying and bullying:                                                  


     1.Bullying and cyberbullying are different from each other cyberbullying is when you bully someone over texting or on the computer.            


     2.Bulllying is when you bully a person physically or just by telling it to their face .                                                                                                                                                                                                     3.If in anyway you feel like you are being bullied make sure you tell a teacher or a parent right away.                                                                                                                                                               Any type of bulllying is bad just make sure you aren't the one getting bullied.

Digital Etiquette

Article posted March 29, 2011 at 10:50 AM GMT-5 • comment • Reads 645

What is Digital Etiquette? Here is a link to the www.digitalcitizenship.net/Nine_Elements.html


Digital Etiquette is inappropriate "behavior" online (example: cyber bullying). Being mean to someone online is cyber bullying and it can be very serious sometimes. Cyber bullies only bully people online because it makes them feel stronger because it's kind of like protection for them than to do it face to face with the actual person who's being bullied. If the bullying gets very serious and if no one's around to see it then copy it and print it to show your guardian, never hide it from your parents because the person who is bullying you is not going to get what they deserve.


The point is that is you bully someone then there always will be a consequence so you should never do it.

DH -- Do You Know About Copyright?

Article posted March 29, 2011 at 10:51 AM GMT-5 • comment • Reads 616

                     Here are some tips on how you can be part of your digital community and follow the laws. Following the lwas of Copyright  is very important and everyone should know about them so you don't get caught for doing something that you didn't know was wrong. Here are three tips:




  • Do not copy free music online or from a friend. That is not good and instead you should just pay for it. You could be fined for a lot of money if you do.




  • If you want to use someone's information for a project make sure you use quotations for the site. Ask the person you are getting the information from if you can use it. After saying that you got the information from someone else say your own thoughts about what you think about it.




  • You are allowed to borrow some copyrighted information through fair use so that you can teach about it, but make sure to take the right amount. If you take too much information you could get in trouble and have to pay a fine. Also, do not change the information when you take it because it is someone else's.




Copyright is a very important concept to know about so that you don't get in trouble for anything you take online. Be careful and if you don't know if you can copy something online the best thing to do is don't take it. If you want to learn more about Copyright and about The Digital Citizenship Laws click here.

Hi,  I am here to talk about the importance of Digital Communication. You always have to be careful when communicating online, especially on social networking sites or chat rooms. It's always a good idea to use caution when talking to strangers. If you post anything, like a picture, all someone has to do to spread it all over the internet is copy, paste, and repost. They can also distort your image and make you look like someone your not. Also, if you get a social networking account, be careful who visits your page. If someone teases you, tell you parents and block them. If  you'd feel safer, you can also make your page visible to friends. But even then, remember your friends can share your personal pictures and data. See more information here.

When communicating online by instant message, text, or e-mail, be safe by using these tips:


                                                 1. Be sure you know that everything you do or say can be seen by everyone and be traced.


                                                 2. Respect everyone's privacy as well as your own. 


                                                 3. Before you send a text, e-mail, or instant message, check it before you send it. 


The Internet can be fun but you should also know how to be safe.
