Tuesday

This morning the school had an assembly dealing with cyber responsibility. The speaker told us that ANYTHING we put online can be seen by anyone who knows how to hack. They told about people in other countries, who for a small fee, can hack into anyone's site, get your pictures and other information. That information can be posted on the "world-wide-web" and sent all over. These people generally do not care about your family picnic, they want pictures that can be used for blackmail. Our students were warned against sexting, cyber bullying and putting anything up that might cause another grief because it isn't private. Anyone who is trained can pull up what anyone texted, put on their password protected facebook, myspace, photobucket, or any other site, and use that information. Talk about it, it was very interesting.

In class we started on our conservation posters. We will be doing those and our planets all week. Sundials will be due April 15th as the weather this week-end was not conducive to making sundials.
