Journal - What are your hobbies and extra curricular activities? Where do you spend your free time? Tell me three of your favorite things (movies, TV show, magazine, sport, color, etc.)
I like to go to Walmart, I like to watch Netflix and I like to be with my friends. Also I'm going to be in track in the spring and long jump and run the 200m. My favorite shows I'm watching on Netflix right now are Grey's Anatomy and 24.
I spend my free time either outside, on the computer, on my PS3 or on my phone. Some of my favorite things are the movie Braveheart, the band Linkin Park and the game Skyrim.

Journal - Tell me if you agree with this statement and then explain why or why not. "Images on the internet are 'free game' - if someone posted I should be able to use it."
Images on the internet are not "free game", because most of them are actually copyrighted by someone. Many people forget this because the pictures are so easy to access. So they end up putting the pictures in a project and then get in trouble.
However, if you want to use a picture you found online, there is a correct way to do it. You have to cite the picture using the link and other information you can find about it. If you do that, then you can use any picture you like.

Journal - What is the importance of online safety and protecting your information? What do you do to protect yourself online? Share an experience you or someone you know has had with online safety.
The importance of online safety and protecting your information is very high.If you don't protect your information, somebody could hack in to your private accounts and use your credit cards and buy all the stuff they want.
To protect myself online I make sure I set all my passwords to something that cant be guessed easily by a hacker. I also set all the options to where I can recover my account if I need to.
An experience I have had with online safety is when Google notified me that someone accessed my account from an unknown source. After I saw that, I changed my password so that who ever it was couldn't access my account anymore.

Journal - Tell me what you know about Web 2.0. List example Web 2.0 sites. Are you on any sites that let you “post” information? What are those sites? How often do you use them? What do you post on them?
I have only briefly heard of Web 2.0 in past Emerging Tech classes. I heard it was like a system that the internet runs on and uses as a backbone to support the various features of websites you find on the internet.
