1. New terms that I have learned this week:

• Privacy: Your on personal information.
• Digital Citizenship-  safe, responsible, and approach ethical to interacting online.
• connected culture- treat others in a respectful manner and be kind.
• Ethics: Set of morals about people's behavior it requires respect, honesty.

2. Web 2.0 tools i have learned:

• Prezi: a website that is smiliar to googel presentation, but instead of slides it is bubbles and you have different themes that are more interesting an flashy. 

3.Positive and negative aspects of Prezi are:

 Prezi is a fantastic website for a presentation or PowerPoint when you want an interesting and attractive piece of work. It provides you with creative commons pictures that are free to use and share, also there are various backgrounds to fit your style or topic. the only down-side to the website is it is hard to put your information in the bubbles and when you add a new blank you have to move it around and adjust it to match the size of previous information bubbles or boxes.

4. A digital Literacy component i have learned this week:

Web Evaluation: is a process of questions where  you can determine if the website is accurate or dependent. 

How do I evaluate?

1. Authority- Is the author identified?

2. Accuracy- Are the facts documented? What are the sources? Can you verify the facts from another source.

3. Bias- Is the author informing or persuading?

 This digital component will be very helpful when I am getting information for a project or research. It will help me because I will know how to evaluate the site and see if it is trustworthy and so I can get information so i can get a good grade and learn my subject better.

 

 

 

6. My past week has been very stressful because of the amount of homework and the projects, but I have gotten it done because I have worked very hard until I finished my assignments that are due. Nothing interesting has happened this week because there has not been time to play around because of the amount of work.
