Already week 6

To start the week off we started something new. We started to check each other blog posts by leaving a note. It really helps so you can be positive that you'll get a good grade. Ms. Payseur also put up a poll so we could vote if we liked the new method. I had to put neither because my partner was absent, but otherwise I would say it definitely helped.

Our digital literacy component for the week was called ASPECT. Each of the letters have a very crucial meaning.  It shows that just because the information online is useful it doesn't mean it's accurate.

                     A-(Authority) Who wrote it?
                     S-(Sources) Where did it come from?
                     P-(Purpose) Whats the purpose?
                     E-(Evenness) Information was well rounded?
                     C-(Coverage) Was everything you needed to know covered?
                     T-(Timeliness) Up to date information?


Web 2.00 for week six was Mind Meister. It is where you can make a mind map. You could compare to a spider web. This tool is actually new. Mrs. Payseur just tried it for the first time with us. Now I completely understand how to use it. I really like it because its a unique way to give information.

Did you know some websites are fake? They just want your passwords to all your accounts, even banking! A way to tell websites are fake is by checking the URL. If the login page looks funny don't put in any of your important information in it. We were given a lists of fake websites to look at that seemed real. There were some that were obvious they were phishing. Now I know to take  precautions online when I'm searching for a website. Make sure you know what you're doing with passwords online too.

Our school should be very excited. This morning we learned our construction on our building is done! We have a place we can finally call our home high school. I have especially been anticipating to get into our building.
