11/15 Photoshop

Last week we learned about Photoshop. It was very interesting to learn about because these days A LOT of  pictures have been photo shopped. You can not trust any pictures that you see on the web. As I was creating my name banner I felt excited in a way because I've never done any type of photo editing except Instagram. I can't wait until our next Photoshop project so I can get better.

10/17 Learning Reflections

This past week my team and I have been working on a group project. Our topic was "What experts are needed to publish a web site and what makes it successful?" We each had a sub-topic to work on and research. Our team leader made sure we stayed on task and were doing the right thing and giving us pointer to make sure our presentation was presentable.

I feel like this was a good experience and wouldn't mind doing again. I love working with my team. And our team leader did a great job at making sure we were doing the right thing.

9/26 Learning Reflection

This week I have learned a lot about appropriate and inappropriate ways to act on the Internet. That is called Netiquette. It is very important to have netiquette because if you don't, your digital footprint will be negative. You need a positive digital footprint because when you apply to jobs, they will probably search your name to see if you are known for anything- good or bad. If they find something bad, that can determine if you get the job or not.

Blog Post 4 Netiquette 

Netiquette is the acceptable way to communicate on the internet.

It is important that you have appropriate netiquette because jobs will search you before making their final decision of hiring you. If you have inappropriate pictures on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, ect., you will not be chosen over someone who has impressive netiquette.

Blog Post 3 Positive Digital Footprint

A digital footprint is what pops up when your name is searched on the internet. It is very crucial to have a positive digital footprint because these days many people rely on the internet for everything.

Jobs, colleges, and even some banks may Google your name before they hire or accept you so they can see what type of person you are in the media.

New Vocabulary:

  • Digital footprint
  • Netiquette
  • Etiquette

Blog Post 2 Academic Integrity 

Academic Integrity- moral code of academics. You should be honest and avoid plagiarism and cheating.


Plagiarism is taking credit for someone else's work or ideas without stating that you did so. If you want to use someone else's words you must use citations and/or quotation marks.

Blog Post 1 Blogging

A blog is a personal web page that you create to share your personal interests and opinions. I do not have a Twitter nor do I follow anyone's blog. Blogging can be used to help the learning process in our class in a more interesting way being that it is in a more modern fashion-technology. With our blogs we can all see what each other posts and comment on it whether it's pictures, words, or video. It is great way for mass-communication.

Here are a few blogs that I am interested in:

My favorite blog is the endangered species blog because I was always passionate about animals and deforestation.
