Screencast Experience

I think I did good on my screencast project. It was kind of hard to teach how to do the task and do it at the same time, while concentrating on where to put the mouse and when to click. I could use this tool in the future to teach a person I'm not with how to do a task on the computer, and then send the video to them.

Driving Survey

Self Critique

In my other classes, I think I could use something like the digital story I made to do presentations. I liked how easy it was to make and researching the things I want to do on my bucket list. The hardest part was writing a script and trying to figure out the perfect words to say to keep to story interesting. For personal use I would make digital story that features vacation pictures, the things I did and how much fun I had.

Parent Job Interview

First I interviewed my mom, Patty Henry. She is a dental hygeinist and says she enjoys her job because she gets to work with the public and promote oral health. Next, I interviewed my dad, Kenny Henry. He is a nurse at MOTT Children's Hospital in Ann Arbor. He also likes his job because he gets the opportunity to help children and make a difference in their lives.

Theodore Roosevelt and the River of Doubt

In 1913 Theodore Roosevelt went on an expedition, after an embarassing elction loss, to explore the River of Doubt. The river is located in the Brazilian rain forest. On the trip, he brought with him his co-commander Candido Rondon, a Brazilian explorer and his son Kermit. Both Roosevelt and Kermit suffered from malaria. Roosevelt also suffered from an infection in his leg. On the trip they faced strong rapids, starvation, disease and attacks. In the end, they made it through the expedition and came out alive.

Online Safety

In the article I read, it was about a 16-year-old girl and an old man. He had lured her out of her home and into meeting her. It turned bad when he drugged, drove her out of town, and video taped himself sexually assaulting her.
I thought this story was gross. I wondered what the old man would do with the video when he was done. The girl couldhave easily avoided this by not giving out her personal information to a stranger, not even talking to him in the first place, and being smart enough not to agree to meet a stranger she met online.

Google

There are many new changes in Google's new privacy policy that is effective on March 1st, 2012. First, it will be able to take information from one Google product, like Gmail, and integrate data found from it with other Google services like Google search and Google Photos. Also, when you use a location-enabled Google service, it can collect information about your actual location, such as GPS signals sent from your cell phone. Google will also be able to store telephone information like your phone number, forwarding numbers, time and date of calls, duration of calls, calling-party number, SMS routing information and types of calls you make.

In the article I read, it seemed to be supporting the new policy. It says that Google can monitor the sites you go to, and display ads relevant to your age and interests. Also, one example the use is if you are on YouTube, a video may show up about how to chop an onion. This would be related to an e-mail you sent about a cooking class. Overall, the article made the new policy seem positive, because it gave the user a more personalized experience.

I think the new policy is going to help when you are searching on the web. Google will be able to display websites and ads based on your interests and what you have searched before. The policy ends up giving you options that are tailored to your interests and I believe that is a good thing.

Internet Safety

Internet safety is being careful and secure online. The three things that are most important about being online is to make sure the sight you are on is safe, if something seems suspicious, then talk to your parents about it, and never give out your personal information. From deputy Krupp's presentation I learned that many things on the internet are not safe, and to always be careful online. To make sure I'm safer online I can make sure I don't give out as much personal information.

Feed Readers

I liked FeedDemon better than Google Reader. First, when you added a site you could copy and paste the URL into the box and a warning would pop up saying if it recognized feed from the website or not. Next, when you were subscribing to the site it would go to a page where you could add or select a folder you wanted it to be in. I thought this was easier because it just popped up automatically and you didn't have to think about adding it to a folder like in Google Reader. The final thing I liked more about FeedDemon was that you could click on a tab that would show you all the posts you haven't viewed yet, Google Reader did not have this option.
