E.brechel blog : Weekly blog post

Well learning new vocabulary this week was interesting because of the words we actually learned about we already knew but,we just have a different meaning for them.Track means when companies collect information about you based on your online behavior or actions,Target is when companies get content off your profile based on the information you look up,Demographic is common categories of a population such as gender,race and or eye color,and finally cookies means data files that companies keep folders of what you use.

We used a new tool called Mixbook this tool is like a auto book on the internet you can put photo's,things about life on it and make a graphic book about anything from family reuions to wedding's.

A positive thing about using Mixbook is that you can make a graphic book online about anything with family the negatitive part about this it is very diffcult to use,everytime you add pictures you would have to save all of them or keep exiting out and logging into it again. overall it is a good thing to use if you want to be creative with things.You just have to be tech smart.

Our digitlal literancy this week was how to act online when pop-up's and spam comes up,also how to act when giving personal information away even to something that is good. When you are online and all of a sudden things pop up about what you may be trying to search that is companies trying to get your attention and your personal information.

Ways to avoid being scammed online and get your personal information taken is to watch scam's and be very careful when doing things online,also watch when you are buying things online.Keep your password private and do not give it to anyone not even your bestfriends.

This effect me personality because I will be more careful about giving my things away like email and other important things. I will also watch out for pop-ups instead of just clicking random things.

This week has been good and we finally have got into our building, also next week will be our first full week and we have spirit week what could be better.
