Voki vs. Blabberize

Making an avatar on Voki was easier to use, than to make one on Blabberize. Voki, you got to create an avatar from scratch. Blabberize, you had to choose an existing photo. I liked the Voki avatar better than the Blabberize avatar. I would probably use Voki again. You could possibly use these in other classes by using it with a visual project. If you were doing a project on Ben Franklin, you could use blabberize and make him talk.

Your Photo Fate
 
When someone sends you a really graphic photo, don’t show other people. Also, don’t send it to other people because you, the person who sent it, and the people who saw it will get in huge trouble. Don’t put the picture on social networking sites so everyone can see it too. Think before you post.

Digital Footprint

When I searched for myself, I found my facebook page. When I searched my images, I found a couple of my pictures. I am surprised to see that my cover photo from Facebook was on google images. There is nothing that I am embarassed about. What I might want to do in the future to ensure my footprint accurately represents the picture is to not put bad pictures up.

Cyber Bully

In the movie, Taylor got bullied online and in school. In class we talked about how cyber bullying is not only online. When she went to the group to talk about the issue, they talked about not fighting back. They also talked about how you should tell an adult or print the messages for evidence. When you are talking to someone online, you don’t know who it is. The cyber bully turned out to be her best friend. This case was very similar to the cases we talked about in class. The only difference is that she didn’t commit suicide, she only thought of it.
