This week has been amazing for me it just flew by. We have covered a lot of topics including a new web 2.0 device called make beliefs comix. Our new digital literacy terms are self disclosure, reciprocate, and sexting (we had a short list this week.) The topic on DDL(digital driver's license) this week was digital health and wellness.I also did a blog post on the Kymera.
I will start as always with defining the new terms of this week.
Self disclosure- sharing private,sensitive, or confidential information about yourself with others. This means if some creepy dude comes up to you and asks,"where do you live " it's not smart to tell him.
Reciprocate- to give in return. This one is easy to understand, give and you shall receive.
Sexting- sending or receiving sexually explicit photos or videos through text or other digital devices. First off sexting usually refers to the sending of nude photos via a text. Sexting is extremely dirty, no one will respect you for it nor will they like you any better for it.Try asking yourself," How will this make him/her feel",or" If I wouldn't do it why would he/she do it." In short don't do it.
We were also asked to contribute ideas on ways to avoid sexting, and ways to build a relationship online. For your benefit I will list three from each category below.
Ways to avoid sexting
- Change the topic
- Date people with good morals
- Have self respect
- Be nice to them(this one is obvious)
- Show them you care
- Skype long distance
Our web 2.0 device for the week was Make Beliefs Comix. Make Beliefs Comix is nothing more than an awesome way for you to make your comics come to life. We were asked to make two strips showing a way to build a relationship online, and a way to avoid sexting. Make your own at makebeliefscomix.com
Lastly we did an exercise on digital health and wellness on DDL. The information portrayed consisted of good posture, making sure to take a stretch break every 30 minutes, and not to get addicted to the internet. Also, as a little side note, if you either have the urge to/do share your every meal on Facebook, you may be addicted to the internet.
My article this week was on a new type of propulsion powered body board. For more information on the Kymera check my article link at the top of the page. Also, I have the original article linked here.
That's all for this week be sure to comeback next Friday for yet another installment of Payseur weekly blog.
