BLOCK 3/4 only...
I spent a great deal of the weekend thinking about the Internet Assembly. We have this assembly every year and every year it makes me think. I, as a mom, think about what the world will be like for my boys when they are in middle school. The tech and internet becomes crazier every day and I wonder how this will affect them. It scares me. I know that when I was a kid cyber bullying didn't exist, kids instead bullied through paper notes or by simply spreading word-of-mouth rumors. What has remained the same is the cruelty. I wonder why people are still cruel and why this stuff still exists. What I do know is that you can make the change. Think back to the Rachel's Challenge Assembly- and starting a chain reaction of kindness.
For this blogpost- I want you to answer two questions:
1. What did the Internet assembly make you think about, or what surprising thing did you learn?
2. What can you do, name one specific thing, to change things or make a difference? (Think bullying, facebook, sexting, etc..)
One thing i learned at the internet saftey assembly that i didn't know before, and frankly blew me away, is that Facebook can take the pictures that you've posted on your wall and practically give them away. Like, when she said that your picture could be put up on a billboard and you wouldn't even get paid, but more importantly, you wouldn't even know. I think one thing that EVERYONE could do to make a difference, or stay safe, is don't post/text/email anything that you wouldn't say to the person's face. As they say: if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all.(That also includes texting, posting,etc.)That assembly also made me very happy to NOT have a Facebook!(:

1. I learned that Facebook could do anything with my pictures and that has scared. So from now on I will think twice before I put up a picture of me on Facebook.
ReplyDelete2. To make a difference I will watch out if I get an inappropriate picture of my classmate I will inform an adult right away.
1. One thing I learned that seems pretty outrageous is the police department has a record of every single message and post you send on face book. This also applies to text messaging. I think that having access to these messages is unconstitutional. (Right of privacy).
ReplyDelete2. To make a difference I will always inform an adult if someone is being bullied online and if I receive an inappropriate picture I will tell an adult.

1. One thing that I learned from the internet assembly is that I never knew that that the police is watching every one of your moves one texting,facebook,email,etc,(not to say I do bad things on them).
ReplyDelete2. One thing I can change is the way I say things or how I word things when I am talking to someone.
The assembly made me think about how scary the internet is and what I learned was facebook legally owns what ever you post. Something that could help bullying on facebook would be not allowing people to post or send unkind words against someone or something.
ReplyDelete1. What really suprised me was that the police had access to all of my texts and emails. It made me be really thakful that I hadn't said anything bad in them.
ReplyDelete2. I will stay away from facebook and make sure that I really pay attention to what is going on around me.

1. I learmed that facebook owns the rights to yout photos if you put them online. Which for some reason freaks me out... I don't know why.
ReplyDelete2. To make a different I will be careful what I post online and I will only accept people I know on facebook
1. I learned that Facebook is just not safe at all no matter what you do, your in danger as long as you have your page up.
ReplyDelete2. If i got a forwarded sext then I would show it to the police and then delete it form my messages
I was shocked of how powerless I am on facebook. Any police group can read any comment that you have ever made. I need to be more careful on facebook of what i say so i don't hurt anybody's feelnigs.
ReplyDelete1. I learned that any picture that you take could be posted on the internet and that if it was facebook, the you can't take it off again. It made me not want a facebook relly because i have been thinking about it for a while.
ReplyDelete2. One Thing that I can do is not post any picturess on the internet
1. I thought about how some people are freaky and they show distubing content of their bodies
ReplyDelete2. to censure the comments or videos that are disturbing
i learned that facebook is like a cyber stalker and that it can tell exactly were you are.
ReplyDeletei can talk to important people
What I learned at the internet assembly is that... When you upload pictures on facebook. You can't say you own them. Even if you delete THEM! Facebook makes a copy of the picture and in the fine print it says something along the lines of: You gives us right to own the picture and we have right to sell it. That means they can sell our pictures and we wouldn't get paid... Let alone know they did! That's messed up. Also facebook is allowing '3rd parties' to see your email, address, and phone number. That's really wierd/stalker-creeper!
ReplyDeleteThe one thing that I would change is stop putting up personal information of facebook. Yes you talk to your friends or family but the people that aren't you friends... You don't know if they're looking at your profile every day or maybe even every other day. How can you know? So I think just putting the basics like: Age, Name (you can fake it!) or even one family member would be good. Instead of saying I live (yada yada) here and my phone number is 000-000-0000! So maybe instead of putting up all that information on your profile would be better not too.... (:

1.) I learned that no matter the social website, the police can track anyone who write anything on the Internet. Whether it's annonymous, or not.
ReplyDelete2.) To make a difference, I will make sure if people say rude things on the internet, I'll have the other person's back.

The internet safety assembly surprised me because I didn't know that anyone can just copy and paste your picture, and that they could put you on a BILLBOARD. Nothing is safe on the internet. To make a difference, me and my parents went in and changed my privacy settings. I will think twice next time I post something on the internet.
ReplyDelete1. The internet assembly made me think about how someone could take some pictures from my ablum on facebook and could do gross things to it, try to hunt me down ,or could even profit from one of my pictures.
ReplyDelete2. I thought more about what would happen if I gave out even the tinest amount of information someone could track me down and take me.
1. I learned how dangerous Facebook really is. I always thought that if you were smart and careful that it was a safe site...but its not. I didn't realize how easy it was to track someone, there was a tracker on my account!
ReplyDelete2. To keep people safe, people should check their account settings, and make sure that nothing is on there that they don't want. Also, people should be aware that everything posted NEVER dissapears.

1. It made me think even more about the predators that are out there on the internet.
ReplyDelete2. I thought about how someone could get my adress off facebook and come to find me. That scared just a bit.
1) the internet assembly taught me that any picture you post can be used for whatever Facebook wants. (I dont have a facebook but still)I agree with Ben that it is unconstitutional that they can read what you say.
ReplyDelete2) Dont just post anything you want on the internet because it can be used against you.

I learned that people do some stupid stuff on the internet. I am lucky that i dont have a facebook and i dont have anything to worry about. To make a difference, i would not do anything stupid on the internet or text.
ReplyDelete1. I learned that even if you set your privacy settings on facebook to private people can still see your info.
ReplyDelete2. To see what people say or comment on a website.
I learned that facebook can use your photos in advertisements and you won't get paid for it. I also learned the police have a record of all the posts, texts and emails you've ever sent. What I can do is tell an adult if I ever get sent any bad pictures or if I know somebody is being bullied.

The internet assembly made me think about how much people can do with the internet and cell phones and how you can lose your identity or have people stalking you through the internet. its really messed up and i now know that i should be very careful on the internet.-Jordan Carlson
