- I think the minimum age for someone to begin playing violent games is 13. I think its up to the parets to decide wether or not their children are ready for games of such matter. I think 13 is a reasonable age so that the child begins to process what they are seeing/doing.

Tell us about your digital media habits. How much time (and money) do you spend texting? Do you recognize yourself at all in these teens’ stories? Do you often switch between doing homework and things like checking Facebook, watching videos or playing games? Do you find it hard to focus on and process your schoolwork? Are your grades affected? Do you – or your parents – try to set limits on your use of technology?
- I think i spend a lot of my time texting and sometimes its hard to focus on other things. Thats one reason why i think is really a bad idea to ext and drive. I definitely can recognize myself in some of the een stories, kids whose lives revolve around texting and cant seem to find any thing to keep them from texting. Sometimes while doing homework i usually take breaks to get on Facebook, or to do other things that will not help me finish my initial goal. It is definitely harder to finish homework when im distracted and i find myself spending unnecessary time on 5 min assignments. My grades are definitely affected most of the time when i dont finish assignments

Do you think people are more likely to review a product they like or a product they dislike? Why?

Do you think this is right?Is this cheating?What would you do?What happens when you get a job and don't know what to do?Would you go to a Doctor who did this?

I dont think is a problem.....people can use these different websites for extra help. Especially when teachers dont explain what is wrong with work that we return. People use these websites everyday and unless school ban them then initially stopping the process is impossible. I dont think this is cheating but in the end not getting the full understanding of a certain topic will effect everyone eventually. If our grandparents, and parents could survive without the technology that we have then so can we. Im not saying that all these websites should be discontinued but it would benefit us better to try and do our own work. I personally would try and get extra help but in the case of college when extra help is not an option i would possibly turn to one of these websites. The websites dont give answers to how to do jobs (i dont believe) so this just might not be the case. We would have to settle down and study at one point. the website is more or less just for help. I dont think i would go to a doctor who did this but then again how would we know that the doctor is using a website like this. I believe that whoever uses the website should be able to use it and keep it confidential that they used the website.

- i understand the information that i read only because i am able to comprehend most of it. if you know what the information is trying to say then we have a better chance of being able to process it.

Why do you think reading comprehension is so important? what can you do to improve your Reading Comprehension?
- Reading comprehension is important because reading its great, but understanding what we are reading is better.as long as we understand what were reading then we have a better chance of taking that information and making sense out of it.

Would You Trade Your Paper Books for Digital Versions?
Write three paragraphs supporting your opinion.
Tell us your thoughts on the growing offerings in digital books and textbooks.
- I would continue using paper books because it is the traditional way. I wont knock the idea of using an Ipad, r e-reader but kid’s always get distracted from the initial topic and they won’t focus on their work. People are saying that kids shouldn’t spend much time in the computer or on the phone, and by turning our books from paper to electronically it’s just not helping out at all.
If everything is electronically based we are more dependent on technology, and we become lazy as individuals, and as a people. I think the paper books are very important because it forces the person to actually sit down and read. With e-reader it is possible to just look up the summary of a book, and people still do it with the paperbacks so whats to say that things will change. Reading is a choice and people will either read or not.

Would you speak up if you saw someone being bullied online? Why or why not? Would you speak up if you saw someone being bullied in school? Why or why not?
- I would definitely speak up for someone if i saw them being bullied because it is wrong. Anyone who is bullying someone has been bullied and they feel that it is only right to continue the pattern. Online bullying doesn't make matters better, it make the person being bullied feel like they are not safe online or outside in the real world. The most important reason why i would speak up is because bullying can effect people for the rest of their lives; it makes tem feel like they dont belong and they began to isolate themselves from the world. No one should have to endure the emotional, an physical pain of bullying.

What is the advantage of email updates of the latest Google results of information based on your name?
instead of searching the internet you receive updates from google. This can be a good advantage because it helps narrow down the information we use for research.

I think people who use the computer to say unkind things are usually cowards. They use the computer to say these unkind things because they are scared to say it in public. The computer may be an escape for cyber-bullies.It is best to ignore cyber threats. Otherwise report it to an trusted adult.
If someone said something i didn't like to me on the computer, or telephone, i would be very offended and would find away to solve my problem. The easier the problem is solved then the easier it will be to forget and move on. There is reason to hold an internet grudge against someone. You will eventually have to face that person in public.
There is really no difference between the computer and a telephone. They are both very different way of communication, that can still be used for bullying. In many cases the telephone, and the computer are still ways to communicate with people and are still very dangerous ways of Stalking.

How do you know if the information you find on line is accurate and truthful?
- I personally don't think it is truly possible to know if the information online is true. That's the main problem with the internet, anyone can alter information and then post it online

9/21
What do you think the potential problems are with giving or sharing personal log in information? When do you think it is okay to share this information? Why?

- I think sharing personal log in information is very dangerous. You never know what the person or people you share it with are capable of doing. The only time it is okay to share this information is possible when your parents ask for it. Other than that is is possibly dangerous to do so.

9/22

What do you think you should include or not include in your online profile (Google Profile) for this class?
- I think no one should put anything on their online profile they don't want people seeing, or commenting on. Everything should be school related, and should have something to do with the assignment.

Do you think that a parents should spy on their kid's online life? Is this good parenting or an invasion of privacy?
- I think this is both good parenting but also an invasion of privacy. Parents should just ask their kids to see their online stuff, instead of just snooping around. If the child has nothing to hide then there should be no problem with the parent checking periodically.

Some web sites hold very dangerous information, for example how to make a bomb. How can we control these Web sites?
- i think the only way to stop the dangerous information from being posted on the internet is to not allow it at all. i think everything should be screeened before it is allowed to appear on any website.

In other words there a dangerous people online and we need to watch our backs. People are not who they appear to be like in chat rooms, or on gaming websites. The safest way to keep away from people like this is to not give away any personal information. If they get a hold of that information they can easily prey. Also do not accept emails from people you don't know especially if the emails are inappropriate. Do not con
