4. Picnik is a website where you can edit digital photos. You can add
things like text and clipart, and you can touch up the color, the
clarity, or even a pimply face or yellow teeth. I find this tool
useful because not only can I use it to improve personal photos,
but I can alter photos that I can use for projects at school to give
them a desired effect or message.

5. Ning is a social network site that can also be used to share
information like school assignments. I can receive assignments
and projects from teachers, and I can communicate with group
members about ideas. Handing in assignments is super easy, and
I can work from home because I can get assignments on and off
the Ning.

6. Facebook is a website mostly for social networking, but you
can use it to communicate with peers and classmates on ideas
for school or getting together for projects. You can also share
projects like videos or written projects by copying and pasting
them or uploading the file. I mostly use Facebook to stay in
touch with my friends.

7. YouTube can be used to look for videos that are useful to you in
class or just for fun. More often than not, I use it just for fun, but
in the past I have used it for information for Humanities and
Science 10.

8. Google is my favorite search engine. I use it all the time at
school for every subject, because it will find just about
anything for you. I also use it for fun, when I’m looking for a
new game site or I’m trying to buy something I can’t find
anywhere else online.

9. Digital citizenship means having access to technology, using it
and interacting and participating in a responsible manner.
Being able to use the technology we have access to, whether
it be computers, laptops, cell phones or whatever else there
is out there, is also a part of digital citizenship. In practicing
good digital citizenship, I never give out personal information
such as a telephone number or address, and I do not put
things online that I would not want others to read. I try to
read articles and take information with a grain of salt. In the
future I think I will be more careful about who I sign up for
emails from, and I will also make sure a website is safe before
I join their membership.

10. In a perfect class where technology was used a lot, I see it being
efficient. Note taking would take a fraction of the time, regular assignments
would be simpler to complete with word processers and fast access to research,
and it would be easy to keep in contact with your teacher or your classmates.
The teacher might have an easier time keeping assignments together and
arranged. But I also know that there would be issues.
Students would have access to internet constantly, which could make
it easier to plagiarize rather than do the work yourself. The technology could be
a distraction, especially if students had access to whatever sites they want or if
the technology were to be a cell phone. People would become more reliant on
their technology and it could make it seem more difficult to create projects
from other materials. The teacher would need to be constantly monitoring the
students to ensure that they were doing their work and that they were not on
any inappropriate websites. Having technology in a classroom could be both a
good thing and a bad thing at the same time.

12. In an environment where the use of technology is encouraged, many problems could arise.
These are only a few:
Problem Solution
There is the opportunity for cyber-bullying to Limit student’s access to particular websites

being harrassed.
Students are distracted from lesson plans Make rules so that students may only work
because they are able to use technology while with their chosen technology at certain times
teachers are speaking. during the class.
Teachers may need to monitor students more Set up firewalls and authorization systems so
closely to ensure they are on task and not on that student’s access is limited to school
