Day 3
Well I have successfully survived this far which is a great achievement for me.
Today we learnt more about social media. Our class isn't really very tech savvy as we had to come up with as many different types of social media that we knew about and we ended up with a very small list.
We then had to pick one that we didn't know much about and do some research on and present to the class.
I chose pinterest as I do know alot of people that use it but had never looked at it myself. It was easy to find information about it and I found it to be very interesting and might even continue using it.
I am looking forward to seeing what the others have found out as I don't really know much about any of the sites apart form facebook and that is really boring and I hardly go on there these days.
We also looked into emails a little more in depth in particular learning all about the types of suspicious files and how to set up and use filters which I think is a very good idea.

Day Two
We started blogging !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ive never tried this sort of thing before and so far it seems like an interesting thing to be doing. We started posting and also created a class one which we have to interact with.
We learnt all about good and bad blogs and had to search for ones we thought were good and bad.
I found that was a really hard task as I didnt realise just how many blogs are actually out there.
Some things to think about when blogging are:
Do you have the time to blog on a regular basis
Check your spelling
Add colour and pictures if possible
Dont talk forever
Dont be too personal or negative
Im not sure how good or bad my blog will be but it is a fun adventure and you never know it may end up being something I will continue after all this school stuff is done and maybe not.

Our first day with email
Today was our first day in a new class it was an interesting day.
The class is all about communicating electronically and we learnt alot about emails, and the ettiquite behind them.
I didnt have much experience with emails before this class, just the odd one from family and friends but mostly it was just juck emails from signing up to different things.
After getting to know each other a little bit we set up an email and watched a video all about emails. There was alot of information in the video including a very brief history of the internet and social media. It then had details about emails like teaching all the parts of an email and tips on producing good emails.
Other things I learnt to consider when typing an email include
Is it appropriate for the audience
Does it contain proper language
Is it readable
Make sure attachments are not too big
Are the details correct of the person/s you are sending it to
The video also talked about texting, instant messaging and cyberbullying.
Im not sure if I will use emails any more than I did before but then again I never thought Id be in a position where I would be using computers all the time.
