.. Toni Branch ; Digital wellness is to help keep teenagers away from physical harm. The point is to help teenagers realize the harm that technology is doing to them. Internet addiction is not only a problem in teenagers these days, younger adults such as women in their 20's and 30's, are getting addicted, and children at young ages. Not just being online, on Facebook, or other social media sites are the problem, playing video games, or watching TV, or even texting and calling your friends! The lighting of the screen can cause brain damage, eyesight problems, and a lot of other psychological issues.

Discussion question; Do you know the the symptoms of addiction to the internet? Overweight, or weight loss, dry eyes, strained vision, pain or numbness in hands and wrists, headaches, sleep disturbances, neck and back aches are some symptoms of addiction to the internet. ~Michelle Munoz

Well a lot of people don't really think about these things. -Patrick

Addicted to it and not being able to get off of it. ~ Erin

People addicted to the internet experience body-aches, change in weight, irregular sleep, and dry or strained eyes. In some cases people get Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. -Anahi

Some symptoms of internet addiction include having dry eyes, neck aches, back aches, and headaches and dizziness.- Zonia Reyes

Yes, I think it's very common for people to be addicted to the internet in our society. - Sierra

To the point where you are on it all the time and can't pull off it, late into the night. -Katy

You know you're addicted when you don't wanna eat because you wanna be online or even use the restroom. ~Felipe

 * I think that the video was mostly about how a Facebook page gets deleted after a certain amount of time, and if you don't want the Facebook page deleted, you can request that your page stay up and it become a memorial of you. I don't think it's a good idea to give out passwords though, because there could still be some personal stuff on their Facebook, or anything that they don't want out into the world, and even though they are deceased, they still might not want it out there for everyone to know. I think it's amazing what technology has come to, even though it's not so good that its taken over the world, there are a lot of good things that can come from technology.**

==Digital Rights and Responsibilities- Everyone has rights to privacy, freedom of speech and other things. Basic digital right must be addressed, discussed and understood. With certain rights you have certain responsibilities such as using technology how it's meant to be used. Not using the internet wisely could have very serious consequences and get you in a ton of trouble.==

====**Question: What do you think we can do to make the internet a safer environment?**====


 * Erin ~ I think we should because with new generations coming and that they will be doing things, we SHOULD make it safer for them.**


 * I think to make things safer they could set more restrictions and make it harder for people to get through them. -Anahi**


 * Its saying that in real life we have rules online. -Patrick**


 * Summary: This video is talking about what happens to peoples personal information after they pass away. It's talking about the number of things that you can do. You should always leave a sheet or something will all your social media passwords and your bank account number to your parents just in case something was to happen to you. Or you could also just put that in your will if you should want to. You can never be too sure that you will be alive everyday.** **It is amazing what people can invent these days with the technology we ave these days. Like the invention of the women's mechanical head that answered questions. This is what people are doing now so imagine what someone could do in years to come.**

Sierra Smith

Digital Law is the ethics of technology within a society. Using technology in unethical ways is considered a crime. Stealing or intruding on other people's work online is a crime. The digital laws apply to anyone with an online presence. The list of unethical uses of technology include, hacking, downloading illegal music, plagiarizing, creating viruses, sending spam, or stealing someone's identity.



Do you think these laws are commonly broken on the internet?

I do think that these laws are broken all the time, you hear about others having their identity stolen for example and it happens all the time. -Katy

YES! People do it all the time, but because so many people do it already, they really don't care if they hack, download illegally, etc. -Michelle Munoz

Yes, I think that these laws are broken on the internet all the time and all because people know or think that they won't get caught.- Zonia

Laws are commonly broken on the internet because of what Zonia said, they think they would get caught. -Anahi

YES! because a whole lot of people are doing it everyday, they need to be warned so that they can be stopped and that they won't be able to do it again. ~ Erin

Yes because being on the internet is like having a new life and not having rules to tell you other wise -Patrick

Yes, because on the internet nobody knows who you are, you could pretend to be someone else, and nobody can control what EVERYONE does. - Toni

Yes, laws are broken on the internet all the time. Sometimes people break the law without even knowing that they are.~Felipe

The video we watched discussed the outcomes of social media pages after a users death. Some people wish to keep their pages alive while others are curious of how to delete their accounts after death. The users on the side of keeping their social media alive after death have a wide range of options. Before death they can chose to send out emails and post status updates after death. Users who wish to have their social media removed also have that option. I never really put any thought towards what would happen to my social media after I die. I'm not too concerned with it. I would probably just prefer my accounts to be deleted.

 Summary: Digital Etiquette refers to electronic standards of conduct or procedure. This theme talks about people's irresponsibility of learning appropriate conduct before using technology. People fail to do this because they feel uncomfortable talking to others about their digital etiquette. There are rules and regulations that are created to stop inappropriate use, but this doesn't seem to be enough. This is why technology users often see this area as one of the most pressing problems.

Discussion Question: Why is it not enough to create rules and policies in order to be responsible digital citizens in this new society? Not everyone will follow or obey the rules in the digital world. The population in the digital world is growing and may consist of underage children. The underage children may not be aware of why a policy is important to understand or the rules to be a responsible digital citizen. -Michelle Munoz. Because there will be that one person who will try to do some to our pages and mess everything up. ~Erin

People will always find a way around rules and if they are not enforced, those rules will ignored or not known of. -Anahi

In our society a lot of rules are ignored, this goes along with rules online. - Sierra

We can try to teach people about digital etiquette but it can only go so far. I think there will always be those out there who don't have digital etiquette. -Katy

It doesn't matter how much you enforce rules, because you're on the internet on your own time, there isn't always going to be someone standing over you to tell you not to do that, and there are too many people in the world to control every single person, so it's all about self control, but there is always going to be that outcast who likes to go against the rules. - Toni

Sometimes I think that rules are meant to be broken. No matter how much you try to enforce it people will still not follow them so you're basically wasting you time. ~Felipe

//Its very interesting how people act different from how they really are in real life. -Patrick//

=What Happens to my online life when I die = Summary:

Before people would put the belongings that they wanted to pass on to their loved ones in boxes and stated what they wanted done with them in their will. Now, most of those things are online and there is no way of putting them into boxes. 30 million facebook accounts belong to dead people and that serves as business opportunities for some. Facebook has a feature that makes a mini movie of people's posts on facebook and this serves as something that can be shared with the family members of the person that dies. What happens to all of our online stuff when we die depends on us and what we let our family members know about our accounts.



= Anahi = ====Digital Literacy is the process of teaching and learning how to effectively navigate, evaluate and create information using different forms of digital technology. Many j obs are requiring you to have some kind of technology skills; businesses, military, and medicine are some examples. Not understanding or being able to learn how this technology works is a problem with so many new things coming out. ====

** What could our school do in order to better prepare us for a digitally literate society? **
Make every freshmen take a computer type class to understand how some technology works -Patrick

They can offer classes in the middle schools so that we know how our computers work. ~ Erin

I believe that our students are very up to date on digital literacy due to our laptop program. Our school could help parents in understanding this better though. - Sierra Smith

I agree that we are up to date on technology, everyday there are new ideas and inventions being brought to real life and we don't have issues with learning how to use them. There could be classes offered to older people or those that just don't know how to use technology. - Katy

I think that our school offers us all the technology that they can already by providing laptops and chrome books for us to use and get familiar with everyday. - Zonia

Our school provides us laptops or chrome books already. They offer classes about computers and technology but I think they should provide more help for those who have never used a computer or chrome book before because it could lead to bad choices. -Michelle Munoz

Our school offers online classes, and we're on computers in almost classes. - Toni

It doesn't really matter because a lot of people do whatever they want anyways but we take computer classes as a freshman. ~Felipe

 * Summary of Online Afterlife Video: When a person dies, all their online records of the things they searched, sites they've been on, and the profiles they made stay there forever. Many family members now want to memorialize their loved one's profiles and Facebook has made that possible. Technology has gone as far as creating virtual versions of you that can answer questions asked as if they were that person even though they have not been perfected yet. I think technology like that could help and hurt us because it helps us with not forgetting the person but it could also prevent your family members from moving on. ~Anahi Hernandez**

Digital Communication- In the 19th century communicating with other people was limited and in the 21st century things exploded. In today's world you have email, cell phones, and instant messaging. You can contact anyone at anytime and anyplace. The thing about that is some don't make smart decisions about being able to contact anyone at anytime and place.

Do you think that others don't make smart choices about being able to contact anyone at any given time? Katy Marse

I think on a lot of occasions people make bad choices with being able to contact anyone. You can contact dangerous people and some people do on accident. - Sierra Smith

People aren't aware of the person they're talking to online and it makes them make wrong decisions. They can easily have access to contact them at anytime and anywhere but don't know who they really are. -Michelle Munoz

I think that people don't make smart choices about being able to contact anyone at any given time all the time. Throughout the world there are different time standards in other countries and if someone contacts a person at any given time, they may be disrupting them.- Zonia

People these days are doing bad things on their phones and they are hurting others as well. ~ Erin

Yes I don't think people do that at all, expectantly in emergency -Patrick

Some people will always make bad choices but some might be unintentional. They may expect a person to be who they say to be online but end up putting themselves in danger. Some people also rely so much on online chat that face-to-face communication becomes difficult. -Anahi

I think that some people take advantage of being able to contact someone at the snap of their fingers, people don't understand that you could be talking to the wrong person, and telling them things that they don't need to know, or that they could use against you. - Toni

Wrong choices are part of our nature. People don't appreciate that technology we have now and they take advantage.~Felipe

The Video that we had to watch was about what happens to your personal things online when you pass away. There are a number of options that you can do. You can have your passwords and log ins sent to a loved one, have Facebook make a photo collage of your pictures in memory of you, have emails sent to people telling them why you aren't answering. There is a new invention that is being made it is a robot that looks like the person and it can answering a few of the questions that is being asked. It is amazing what you can do now with technology to leave to your loved ones. If we are this far along with technology then I can't imagine what things will be like in the future. -Katy Marse (DeJesus)

Theme Summary: Users need to be aware that the problems of the digital economy can affect others. The use of illegal downloading, pornography or gambling can raise issues with some countries. They need to be aware that they are sharing the large market economy because mostly everything is done electronically. The use of trading or selling products has become common in digital economy for buyers or sellers.

Discussion Question: What conflicts could be surfaced in some countries about the digital economy?

I think the some of the problems could be solved by some people just leaving their phones alone for a few hours each day, and go out and do something that has nothing to do with electronic use. Electronic use can really mess up your brain and your eyesight. - Toni Branch

I think that people should stop using computers & phones all the time. People are on their electronic devices most of the day and if this continues there could be even more conflicts.- Zonia Reyes

I think that we need to some how get them away from younger kids so that they don't get in so much trouble later on. ~Erin

I think that some problems could be that people lose track of what they're doing and how much their buying and then end up over spending. Another problem could be if your receiving something from over seas, there is the chance of it getting lost in the mail. -Anahi

I know that illegally downloading music is rather common with our generation. I think this can cause a large amount of conflict in certain countries with the digital economy. - Sierra Smith

People can download stuff illegally and or get information that they aren't suppose to have and get into serious trouble with the police and or the government. ~Felipe

I think that we shouldn't be on our cell phones, computers, etc. the amount of time that most people are. It has to be doing something to us and there's a certain amount of time like an hour and a half to two hours before bed that you shouldn't be on electronic devices because your brain needs to settle down and if you are on these things right before bed your brain will be over working. -Katy media type="youtube" key="nZIYeBnspe8" width="332" height="189"

Comment: Patrick: I have never thought about that, your summary has made me think. Erin:

Full Electronic Participation in Society. It is mostly about how we are able to get on it and access it through: computers, phones, i-pads, and many other things that can get wifi. It also works on how you can work on equal rights and supporting the difficult to grow as a society increasingly using these tools. We need to be committed to the idea that no one should be denied digital access and that training and resources should be provided so that everyone can fully participate in our society [|Embed Code Generator | Embedly] "Digital Access - Google Search." //Digital Access - Google Search //.

**What does Digital Access mean to you?**
 * I think that it's taking over society, and in some parts that technology can be bad. - Toni Branch**

Digital access is just being able to get a hold of some kind of electronic device like a laptop or a cell phone that almost everyone has now. -Anahi

I think digital access is like having a new life and being consumed with social media and attention. -Patrick

To me, digital access explains the wide amount of access we have to the internet today through out cell phones, laptops, and tablets. - Sierra

Digital access means that you can get your hands on a device that will allow you to get on social media. -Katy

To me, digital access refers to using electronic devices, such as computers and cellphones, to enter a new society, virtually. - Zonia

Digital access means to me that anyone can access the internet with any smartphone, tablet, computer, or some type of electronic device for many reasons. -Michelle Munoz

I think that it means that not everyone has the same opportunities when it comes to the internet because some people have it and other people don't.~Felipe

 Patrick

My theme is on digital security. Digital security is about keeping yourself safe and keeping your Identity yours. Being safe on the internet is just like being safe and protected around your house. Almost nowhere your safe so keep your self safe by adding security to your digital life.

Have you ever felt unsafe? If so have you ever thought of how you can protect yourself and others? Explain.

Comment: Erin: I don't think that I have ever felt unsafe, but I tell my friends to be careful about who they're talking to

I agree with Erin. I don't feel unsafe because I am always careful about what I post on the internet and I don't share personal information with people I don't know.-Anahi

I have never felt unsafe online. Its important to be very careful what you do and who you talk too. - Sierra

I think it's important keep yourself safe online and offline. I haven't felt unsafe online because I know it's important to keep your personal information off social media. -Michelle

Don't give out your identity to anyone, etc. -Katy

I haven't felt unsafe on the internet because I know what the right and wrong things to do are and I start out by protecting myself.- Zonia

Yes, I have felt unsafe, because even if you are careful about what you post, there are still some creeps that could send you stuff that makes you feel unsafe, and some stuff that they can say to make you feel uncomfortable. - Toni

I have never felt unsafe online because I know how to be careful on what I post. I have thought how I could protect other but the opportunity have never come about. ~Felipe

Summary: The video was about if a loved one died, you can send an email to the site and get them memorialized their profile. I do think this is a good thing to have considering if you tell your family things they can back up your stuff and look at your stuff if they don't know your password.I have sent my friend an email. Now that I know it works, I'm glad that he got him email. I feel so much better now that he got it.
