Question of the Day: 9/26 Do The Right Thing

Question of the Day: 9/26 Do The Right Thing:

You walk in to the computer classroom. You sit down at your computer. You notice that the computer was left on. Someones online accounts, photographs and classwork is open. What is the right thing to do? What would you do? Why? Should you go into the other persons accounts?


The right thing to do would be to go ahead and log out of the account OR put it aside if you are going to use the computer. Thinking of moral conduct, what If it was your information ? would you like someone to use it or take advantage of it ? NO, so therefore you should never violate another persons personal information. I would see who's account it is and try to notify them and let them know it was open and tell them to be careful next time using the web. But I would never violate another persons info.

A "boy/girl" friends you through Facebook. He/she is exactly your age, likes the same things as you, likes the same music you do. After a few weeks of chatting, he/she asks you to meet him/her. What do you do?

       If a person I met online happens to like the same things I like , was exactly or around my age, AND lived around the way , Im pretty sure that we would share some mutual friends. After a week of chatting online and the person asks me to meet him or her, depending on wether or not I AM POSITIVE that this is a real person with real interests I would or would not meet them. If I do decide to take the offer I would not give out personal info such as phone number and address. The anonymous person and I will HAVE TO meet in a PUBLIC place with mutual friends like a football game or school event. I will make sure I bring a friend. I say this because kids meet everyday through online sites and in my reality , it's done this way. the safe way using COMMON SENSE.

Good manners and the web (NETtiquette)

I think it's important to have good internet manners because the internet is available to millions of people worldwide. Everything you do, post, say, upload, and type is there for parents, peers, businesses, and colleges to see. If you wouldn't do something in person then why do it on the web ? If you portray yourself as an unmannerly person on the web then people may mistake you to be such a person real life.

Question of the Day: 9/16 Cyberbullying

Question of the Day: 9/16 Cyberbullying: Tell us your ideas about preventing bullying — and dealing with it when it does occur. Do you think laws like the one in New Jersey will help reduce instances of bullying? What do you think teachers and schools can do to improve school culture and reduce bullying? What approaches do you think can be effective? Do you see this problem getting better, worse or staying about the same in your school or community?

I really think that the kids in he community just needs a serious reality check ! A mature minded person would never sit there and cyber bully another person. Those that bully people period, either is very insecure within there selves or just straight out immature. Ever one person has different characteristics, style, living ways,and religion. But we are ALL human. there should be mandatory seminars that speak deeply about how something such as cyber bullying affects a person.

Question of the Day: 9/15 Teen Reputation

What would you do if someone created a page on Facebook using your name and information? 


If someone was to create a fake profile of me I'm not actually sure i'd know what to do. I would definitely work towards finding out who created it. Although it can always be the person that is the closest to me, I will make sure I check the people that have a despise towards me. I would definitely tell my mom and school adviser/counselor right away because I will not be held accountable for anything vile this person has batched up and made public.
The rules and policies in school and our community are not adequate. More things are actually said than done.

Question of the Day: 9/14 - Cyberbullying:

Cyber bullying is wrong. There is no actual justification to bullying period.

So far there are ONLY 6 states that have laws against cyber bullying. whether its physical,verbal,face-to-face,or just cyber..its just as bad.

Question of the Day: 9/13 Information Highway Safety

Question of the Day: 9/13 Information Highway Safety:

While young children are quickly getting familiar with the "information highway" better known as the internet, teenagers have already been introduced to it and by now have got the hang of surfing the net. I think of the Internet as a bittersweet source. while there's a good chance that a young child may stumble upon an indecent website or source of information, there's a better chance that a teenager that is aware of what they're doing on the internet may be putting indecent images or info on the internet. Plagiarism something many many teenagers get in trouble for.
