For our newest digital literacy component was staying real online . It is very important you stay true to yourself online and off. If you send a friend request to someone you know they won't recognize you with a fake image or totally different avatar. Wouldn't you be embarrassed if someone found out your two different people?
Since being true online was our digital literacy we had some definitions. I found out it's really hard for some people to be real online and off. Those who are fake just want to fit in with the cool crowd. The definitions will help you understand some terminology involved in being real.
Represent- How you present yourself to others or the way your labeled.
Persona- An image or personality you show to others.
Avatar- Graphic image to represent you online.
Anonymous- Hidden identity that lacks information.
Inhibited- Careful or restraint to your actions.
Staying real online:
* Present yourself in a good way
* Watch your language
* Show respect to others
* Keep the pictures appropriate
* Don't lie to other people
Our web 2.0 tool for the week was Glogster. Glogster is just like an online poster. I really enjoyed this assignment because I had past experience with it. My Glog contains four pictures that show how to stay real online. I also included a video on how a guy found a fake Facebook account. I like the video because I never knew how easy it was to upload a fake image. Now I know if someones pictures looks unfamiliar to report them.
I hope you enjoyed reading this past weeks blog. Even though it's sometime hectic at GECHS I still manage to add it all into my blog. If you did not like it I would like your advice on how to better it so please comment. I hope everyone has a Happy Halloween!
