Digital Citizenship

Digital citizenship can be a bad or a good thing. Just like in society, there are good and bad citizens. Bad citizens on the internet can hurt themselves, others, or both. If you post the wrong thing, it could go viral and define you. Bad citizens can also post bad things about others.

The Independent Project

The independent project seemed like a pretty cool way for students to go to school. It is much easier to learn if you are learning about what you want to learn, and the pressure of a large school is not on you. Not only is it easier to learn, but students want to learn if it is about whatever they are interested in. Without being told what to do, it makes the students learn the way they want to, which is better than having directions and being told exactly what to do.

The back channel on Twitter was kind of like people talking during a video. It seemed just as distracting because it was hard to pay attention to the video and Twitter at the same time, and read tweets and listen at the same time. If you did it enough and got used to it, it could be useful so you can talk during the video instead of talking about what happened afterwards.

Video on Filter Bubble

The man talking in the video was right about the filtering of the news that we get. It would be better to get information that is not always relevant or important to us, but if he read them than we can learn more or get a better understanding of things that are happening. The more variety of news we have, the more we can learn and get out of the internet.
