In the last day we had a nice talk about personal information and cyberbullyng with two nice ladies, Rebecca J. Hogue & Helen DeWaard. Basically we talked about the importance of keeping safe our data and keep on mind what we share on the internet.

Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place using electronic technology. Electronic technology includes devices and equipment such as cell phones, computers, and tablets as well as communication tools including social media sites, text messages, chat, and websites. Kids who are being cyberbullied are often bullied in person as well. Additionally, kids who are cyberbullied have a harder time getting away from the behavior.

Cell phones and computers themselves are not to blame for cyberbullying. Social media sites can be used for positive activities, like connecting kids with friends and family, helping students with school, and for entertainment. But these tools can also be used to hurt other people. Whether done in person or through technology, the effects of bullying are similar.

Today our awesome teacher showed us some video tools and also wa had a little talk with Maha Bali.

Video editing could be very money consuming due to its requirement for large hard-disk storage, high computer performance and expensive video editing software. Because of all of these, it makes nearly impossible for end users like us (or me at least) to afford the fun of video editing. Some of video tools that I find very useful are:

Jumpcut

Movie Masher

Editor One

Jahshaka

Some of these video tools are extremely great beacause it is not necessary to download them, these are online tools, which help us save some space on our computers.

About the digital identity, Maha Bali told us some really interesting things, for example, nowadays more and more people are having access to the internet, years ago. our data was safer because there were fewer people. The people who has access to the internet nowadays are highly exposed, these users may also project more than one digital identity through multiple communities. In terms of digital identity management, key areas of concern are security and privacy.

Today we had a talk with a some highly prepared people, like Bonnie Stewart , Autumm Caines  & Sundi Richard. We learned about the visitor and resident map, and this model is used to provide how user preference and habit motivates engagement with technology and the web. For example, posting to the wall in Facebook, tweeting, blogging, or posting comments on blogs.

This model tells us how personal our stuff is, how realle exposed we are, also people operating in Visitor mode have a defined goal or task, and select an appropriate online tool to meet their needs as they arise.

Our activity was to create our own V&R map, so, here is mine. I really think that some social networks are not tha personal, it is important as public as possible in some networks, like linkedin because in that case we are looking for a job, so, the greater the number of people who sees our profile, the higher the probability to reach our objective to get a job.
