Weekly Review #8, Who are you Online?

This week at Gaston Early College High School has been anything but ordinary. With us transitioning into our school building next week, school has been very chaotic.

It has been stressful at school due to all of the preparations that my peers and teachers have been making in order to move into our school as easily as possible.

Earlier this week, we viewed the movie 'Cyberbully' in order to fully understand the causes and effects of cyberbullying to many people all around the world. The movie depicted a very heart-breaking story. Many of my classmates were emotionally moved by the phenomenal story in that movie.

On Wednesday, we discussed how we present ourselves online. Our teacher provided us with key terms and definitions to help us comprehend the class lesson better.

Represent: how you present yourself to others

Persona: image or personality that you portray to others

Avatar: image or graphic that represents you

Anonymous: hidden identity

Inhibited: careful or restrained about your actions or impulses

These definitions relate to staying honest and real online. It's important to stay real online because the things you do online affects you in many other areas in your life.

In class, we discussed tips on how to stay real online easily and efficiently. To broadcast my ideas about staying honest, I created a Glog using a website called Glogster.

Glogster allows me to build digital posters easily and creatively. I really like this flawless website, and I will definitely be using it for other projects throughout my educational career. If you are interested in learning more about Glogster, then a short, easy-to-follow tutorial will help you get started.

Also, pasted below is the glog that I created this week.



This week has been spectacular, and I hope that next week will be just as great. Until next week, happy blogging!
