In computer class, we had to do a project on leaders in history. I did Harriet Tubman, John F. Kennedy, Steve Irwin, Susan B. Anthony, and Spyros Kyprianou. I think that this was fun and interestion way to learn. I really think that this would be a fun way to learn, if we did it in groups of 2 or 3 and had more leaders!

1. What has been your experience so far in this one quarter of computers?

Well, we have all basically had the same experience. The bad commens, post, etc. We have basically all been through the same thing!
2.What have you learned so far about computers and blogging?

I have learned that it is still good to use manners on the computer and internet. I know alot of people in my family who don’t use manners when on blogs or writting e-mails.
3. What lessons in life have you learned during our blogging activities?

To stay nice and polite on the internet. And if you post something bad, people can trace you and hunt you down.

4. What do you think blogging is for in your life as a 6th grader?

I think it is so we can learn about how to be polite on the internet. We can also use it to express our feelings and tell others how we fell, in a nice way.

5. Will you be using blogs even after this class? Why? Why not?

Yes. I think blogging is important and that it is really good for us. We are learning to use manners on the internet and etc.

6. What can you tell others about what you learned in this class?

I can tell others that I have learned to be aware of what people do on the internet. I can also tell people that I can blog with out hurting other peoples feelings.

7. What has been your experience so far in this one quarter of computers?

People do bad things. People can post bad comments and post and stuff.

8. What have you learned so far about computers and blogging?

Well, really, not that much. I have done alot of blogging assiments in my other classes back in the states and I have my own blog site. I have been around computers my whole life so…Really, not that much.

9. What lessons in life have you learned during our blogging activities?

Again, nothing much. My mom has taught me to be polite… Even over the internet. She has given me examples on how much it affects the other person if you put somthing rude! Thanks mom!

10. What was a memorable moment for you in the class?

When we found out who posted the bad comment. It was really surprising!

As you all probably know, the end of 3rd quarter is coming up.  You have seen my other questions(and answers) and if you haven’t… It is titled “Experience with the Computer!”  Here is one question that was not included:)

Okay, well, the advise that I would give(Well, the 3 things of advise!) would be, one: Don’t post bad comments unless you really want to get in trouble!

Two: Always be honest!  Don’t make up lies about someone just because you can.

And three:  When you write a post(like this is), always make it something that won’t get you in trouble!

I am going to add a fourth one.  Always use manners!  DONT WRITE LIKE THIS!  That means you are yelling at someone!  Also, don’t use symbols like this in scentences!: Yelling @ some1 is bad!  LOL!  GTG!!  That is just annoying and no one understands what it means!

That is some advise that you should follow!

What would you do if a friend pressured you to write a nasty comment?  How would you react?  What would you do?  I know that I wouldn’t do it.  I would stand my ground and tell them flat out “NO!!!”  Well, how would you feel if you were told that someone in you’r class broke you’r “Golden Rule”?  Your golden rule was that you could no post a bad comment on anyones site.  So how would yo feel?  Betrayed if that person was your friend, angry because you couldn’t post anymore comments, or anything else.  I would feel a jumble of emotions.  Some, I couldn’t even explain!  And what would you do to stop it?  Tell your teacher?  Talk to all your class mates about why it is wrong?  Keep an eye on them?  I would keep an eye on them.  If they started posting a bad comment, then I would tell them to stop and tell my teacher.  That is what I would do.  You might be thinking, “What if they tell me no to tell?  What if they say that they will hurt me if I do?”  TELL ANYWAYS!  It is better to tell than to keep it all bottled up.  If you keep it all bottled up, then it will just want to explode in you!  You will want to tell everyone!  Tell when it happened, who did it, what name they are using, etc.  Follow these and you will be able to keep a happy blogging time! 

I got this quote from blogsaftey.com:

“Avoid getting together with someone you “meet” through a blog unless you are certain of their actual identity. If you do meet them, arrange the meeting in a public place and bring some friends along.”

I really like this quote because my friend met with someone like this without a friend or family member. The man lied and said that he was 14. She agreed to meet him despite the warnings that her family provided. Luckily, they met in a bookstore that was really busy. She is also really good at hurting people so she broke his nose and got away. He is in jail for meeting a minor. It is good to follow this guideline because if this happens, you know what to do. I thank blogsaftey.com and safeteens.com for these guidelines. I hope you visit those websites and learn about the safey!

Today in Computer Class, we had 3 races. One was to log on to the computer the quickest. The second was who could sign in the fastest. Now there is this one. We have to write the post as fast as possible with no spelling or grammer mistakes. I hope I don’t make any! I lost the first two, but maybe I can win this one! I felt o.k. when I lost the races. They are just for fun!

Today in computer class, Jared got a really mean comment. It kinda freaked us all out because we don’t know who did it. Our teacher wanted Jared to reply, but in a nice way. I bet that it was kinda hard to do because of what the person said. Mr. Maqiuez warned us about these type of people. I guess that it over know, and Mr. Maqiuez told him not to delete it yet. He wanted people to see it and to tell them that it is not appropprete. He has warned us that if we were caught doing this, we would be kicked out of comuter class. I hope that the bad comments do not continue. If it happened to me, I know that I would be very hurt! More later! :)

Today in computer class, we made rules for the blogging. We also made consequeces so if we break these rules, we will be punished. After that, I went on Gaggle to get my password. Then, I went to another website and saw that I had only one blog! We were than told to come here and post another post(phew! :). And…. thats it!
