So far this year in Globaloria, I have learned a lot of things. Right now we are starting into a new unit. This unit involves a lot of flash so my class an I have been learning how to group objects and make them move around. The hardest part was following the code that you have to type in order for your object to work. You have to make sure that it's word for word or the process won't work. The easiest part of the class is the assignments. Like creating blogs and writing about the topic that Mrs. Barker gives us. But my favorite part in Globaloria is the new mini-game unit we're on right now. It's a lot of fun and I learned many things.
What is important for us to know? It is important for us to know that the internet can be very dangerous and terrible things can happen to you if you don't take precautions. If you be careful and watch what you do on the internet,it can be fun and safe.
How safe are we making ourselves online? I think that at our school,we are making ourselves safe because we don't give out important or personal information such as our full name,where we live, or our social security number because if that information was in the wrong hands, who knows what a person would do. Dangerous people could kidnap you and possibly ruin your life if they had access to your personal data,so i'm glad that I don't give that out or add any people that I do not know.
Is the internet safe or dangerous? I think that the internet is safe and only you can make it dangerous. You can make it dangerous by not updating your antivirus,giving out personal information, and talking to people that you don't know. There are kids that have been kidnapped because of strangers on facebook,myspace, and other messenging websites. You can make yourself safe by avoiding all these things that lead to danger. So if you don't know someone on your messenger who wants to be your friend,decline their request. That could prevent serious problems. The internet is supposed to be resourceful and fun so let's keep it that way!
People have the freedom and rights to express themselves. But when their expressions are harmful to other people and theirselves, it is limited. That is why the schools have dresscodes. In my commitee, my mind is set on safety of the students. I would suggest that there wouldn't be any flip-flops or sandals without backs on them. Students could fall and get hurt. But, I would also consider the thoughts of the students too, so my commitee and I will hold a vote on whether or not to ban strapless sandals and flip-flops. If they vote no then the decision is made. They get to wear their sandals as long as no one gets hurt. Each and every student will sign a contract wrote up by my commitee saying that they will take precaution and be careful while walking.
Hello my name is Kaitlyn and I am in Mrs.Barker's 7th grade globaloria class. This year, I want to be more advanced in technology. I want to learn how to create games on the computer. I've always have been interested in computers. I'm very excited about creating games in this class with my friends and classmates. I hope that this year will be fun and helpful. I am very lucky to be in this class and I intend to succeed.
