Bi-Weekly Blog #2

My week so far hasn't been the greatest. My aunt died so I had to go to Ohio for her funeral. I missed Monday and Tuesday of school and I had a lot of make up work to do. Tomorrow and Sunday will be good though, I'm going to Scarowinds and then I'm going to a baseball game.

The digital literacy that we learned about this week was how to be a good digital citizen. We learned about privacy, self expression, connected culture, and respecting creative work. This means that you should act like you would in person on the computer and treat people how you would want to be treated. This affects me because it shows how to be an even better digital citizen then you already are. An example of this is if someone asks you not to post a picture in the internet and you do it anyway this is invading their personal privacy. You should honor ther request and not post the picture.

One web 2.0 tool that I used this week was Mix-book. It is a really useful tool to know how to use and I like it a lot. It's a creative way to do a project. In Mix-book you make a book type book you can use it to make short stories, scrapbooks, and just a random presentation. Some downfalls of Mix-book are that if you and a partner are working on one together you can't both edit at the same time. Overall I really like Mix-book.
