Internet Safety
I think that internet safety is really important. Especially in today's society. Like we have talked about in class there are so many good things that can be accessed by the internet, but there are also many bad things that are on the internet that can be accessed by children, teens, and adults. Because of all the bad things out on the internet it's important to have proper instruction on how to be safe while navigating the internet. I believe that there should be a mandatory internet safety class that all students should have to take/go to in every school. Meaning that a internet safety class should be taken once while in elementary school, once in junior high/middle school, once in high school, and once in college. Getting these classes in every type of school would be important because you would be kept up to date on the latest way to stay safe while on the internet. I think that this would be a good idea to implement.
I think that there should be stricter rules when it comes to what sites you can and can't get on while in high school, middle school, and elementary school. I know when I was in high school if you ever were in a computer class the kids would be playing games, getting on facebook, my space, basically anything that they wanted. Schools should be more particular in the sites allowed to be accessed by their students. By blocking some of these sites I mentioned earlier, the students wouldn't be distracted by them during class and would be able to pay more attention during class to what the teacher is trying to teach. Now I'm not saying that these sights are bad, but when a student is in school he/she needs to be learning the school material not wasting time on the internet, chatting with their friends in another class room. They can do that outside of school, during lunch, or in between classes.
I gave my internet safety lesson to my roommate. We sat down and I taught her about some of the things we learned in class that I had never known about that I thought was really cool. For example: looking for the "s" at the end of http: to see if it is a secure site or not. Also I taught her looking at the last time the site was published. I also talked to her about getting anti-virus software, and which ones were the best to use. I went over the basics of not sharing personal info with others online. Also not putting up pictures that you wouldn't want your family, and/or your potential boss to see. Another thing I shared with her was this program that I found out about called LifeLock. It monitors social security number, credit card numbers, home address, and bank accounts so you don't have to. It protects against indentity theft. I really thought that that was a cool program to use. We had a good discussion about internet safety.

Website Project
I felt that this assignment went pretty well. I would definitely use this when I am a teacher. I would use a class website to put up announcements, and fun activities that the students can do if they choose. Also by having the syllabus, and calendar online this would save paper, and the students wouldn't be able to loose it. It was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be as well. When you first said that we were going to make a website I was not looking forward to it. However, once I got going it was pretty easy, a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. I could make another website if you asked us to.

Problems part 2
Oh technology, I don't like it. I'm usually pretty good with cell phones, but my mom got a Droid this past week. We were trying to set up her email so she could get them from work. We entered all the correct information, it said it was connected and everything, but she wasn't getting her emails. We re did it a couple times with the same result. Again any insights into what might be going on?
