Technology Article

Twitter Hacking: Twitter had recently had hundreds of company accounts hacked. large company's like Jeep have been hacked and posted lies about the company. Twitter is trying to figure out who is doing all this, while the company being hacked continue to use twitter for Twitter hold a million of potential costumers. They have also watched who has the password and when they use Twitter. Twitter has tweeted millions of times how to keep you password safe, and to practice good password hygiene, not only for Twitter but for other sites as well. After their network being hacked a little over two weeks ago, they have posted for security  jobs on keeping the site safe.

Voki and Blabberize

Both websites are similar in the ways that you can use your voice through the images you choose. Both Voki and Blabberize use voice recordings to display what you are trying to create. For me I think that Voki was easier to use, I also like Voki the best because you can make your own individual character when Blabberize just uses photos you choose. I would use either again, I just like Voki better. I did enjoy using both though. I could see me using Voki again for my English class for a book that we read and creating someone from the book and maybe explaining a situation or something like that.

Tracking Teresa


After watching "Tracking Teresa" I found out that it can be really easy to find out information about someone online. Teresa didn’t put any personal information online that can easily track her, but she did put her phone number and what time she would be home to call the number. With just that little bit of information we were able to find out where she lives her family members name and where she goes to school, along with more information. I have put personal stuff on the internet which now worries me that I can be hunted down by some weirdo. I will change it all to where no one can find out any serious information about me. One of the most important things to do when putting up a profile on the internet is to never put out any information that is easily traceable to where you are and that reveals anything about you.


After watching another video about sending photos, the  video shows that once you send a inappropriate photo to someone else that it is out of your control on who else see's it from now on. Adults can see it, friends, family, and even old guys who will be creepy and try things. I know gross right! When sending a photo you know that when you send it or post it that is a good picture that no one can make fun of you for or can black mail you with. Just a simple picture of you smiling with friends is good and can keep you safe from embarrassment and most of the time creepy weirdoes.

Tweet Cloud

I am proud that I was able to look back at my past language and am glad I don't say the things i said in the past. I am shocked to see what language I used I had a horrible mouth a long time ago. I am embarrassed about some of the words i used a long time ago on my twitter, because I haven't been on in such a long time. Going into the future i want to one learn how to spell the right way and two learn how to use the right language and not use such bad words when they are not needed.

Cyber Bullying

The movie about her life dealing with cyber bullying not only showed me how things really worked with cyber bullying online, but also showed that you can always over come it. I thought the movie was a good learning movie because its not just straight information after information its a documentary so it keep a lot of people wanting to know what happens next while learning how to deal with online bullying and seeing how it happens. A lot of things stuck out to me in how we learned a lot of the things that Taylor was told not to do and how to resolve it in our class. Tings like "Do not become the bully yourself." And "Print it out and tell and adult." Those are the three most common things everyone should know. Also if you are being bullied speak up don't just stop after you tell an adult and its still happening. keep speaking up. Because even though your online and not face to face to the person, it can still hurt them in a lot of ways. The victim can suffer from depression, physical problems like headache and sickness, and even suicidal thought. a lot of kids have been found dead because of other people deciding to be rude and mean, and other just join in thinking there is nothing wrong with calling someone a name or spreading rummer. A rummer is just a lie. We all know we are not supposed to lie. So why do bullies continue to spread rummer's? The best thing you can do is speak up and tell someone print it out and call attention to it.
