media type="youtube" key="WkBepgH00GM" height="344" width="425" I have been teaching in the Tulpehocken School District since 1995. I have taught 3rd grade for the majority of that time, but also have taught 2nd grade, 6th grade, and music. I use United Streaming in Science and Social Studies. I have my class use the COW to do Study Island on a weekly basis. My students also look up the weather forecast to present to the class on a daily basis. When we do projects, the students will often google topics.

I visited Scholastics website. [|Click here] to see it:

Information on MySpace seems to be made more easily available than on Facebook. I like Facebook and some of its features such as "ignore" and block who I don't want to know about. I usually do this to people who ramble too much.

In visiting some blogs, I found that they can be very informative. I feel that teachers could share a wealth of information whether it be about a particular product (such as review of textbooks or materials) or about a topic that you need information on. I do like the sample sight shared in class [|21classes]which has given me some ideas for possible us of blogs within primary classes.

Then, we will look at some of the rules that govern the Internet and email. To start, go to the Bill of Rights and Responsibilities for Electronic Learners site by following the link listed below. Read carefully the Bill of Rights and Responsibilities for Electronic Learners and give a brief discussion on the following questions and post this assignment **on your page of the wiki**:
 * 1) Do you agree with all of the items covered in this Bill of Rights? Why or why not? I agree with most of the information in this Bill of Rights
 * 2) What do you disagree with? I agree with most of it, but it seems that many do not follow the individual guidelines. I do not feel that people are aware of these rights and responsibilities.
 * 3) Do you plan to abide by these guidelines? Why or why not? As an educator, I will follow these guidelines to the best of my knowledge.
 * 4) Do you think they leave out anything important? Why or why not? Nothing that I can think of at this time, but they need to keep them updated in this day of advancing technology.
 * 5) What's not covered that should be? Can't think of anything at this time.

I noticed in my research that many viruses affect some basic actions you may do in Microsoft Windows and Flashplayer programs. These are common applications for most computer users. A less informed computer operator can easily get these viruses because they are unaware of what to do when a window opens that may say they need to download a program to continue - which may unfortunately be a virus. VIRUSES TO BEWARE OF:

=Microsoft Windows Media Format MP3 Metadata Remote Code Execution Vulnerability= = =

Risk
High

Date Discovered
September 8, 2009

Description
Microsoft Windows is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability that arises when an affected Windows component handles a malicious MP3 file. Successful exploits may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the currently logged-in user. Failed attacks will cause denial-of-service conditions.

Adobe Acrobat, Reader, and Flash Player Remote Code Execution Vulnerability [] = =

Risk
High

Date Discovered
July 21, 2009

Description
Adobe Acrobat, Reader, and Flash Player are prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue by supplying a malicious Flash ('.swf') file or by embedding a malicious Flash application in a PDF file. Successful exploits may allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the affected application. Failed attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions. UPDATE (September 4, 2009): Mac OS X 10.6 reportedly ships with Flash Player 10.0.23.1, which will overwrite any installed version of Flash Player when Mac OS X is being installed. The issue affects the following: Reader and Acrobat 9.1.2 Flash Player 9 and 10

INTERNET HOAX Liz Clabourne announced that she will not create clothes for black women because their hips are to big. --- FALSE

INTERNET ETHICS (Acceptable Use Policy) Scenario: Sandy has been receiving 4 or 5 anonymous insults daily over e-mail. Because of the context of the notes, she has narrowed the suspect down to someone in her 4th hour class. She sends the entire class a nasty warning not to do it again.


 * According to our Acceptable Use Policy, Sandy should not have taken matters into her own hands, but should have reported anything that is inappropriate or makes them feel uncomfortable to the proper teacher/administrator who would deal with her e-mail problem.

I agree that Sandy should not have taken the actions she did. If this happens during school time, a teacher or other employee of the district should deal with the problem.**

I would have my students use this in our Social Studies when we discuss our Government and Washington DC. There are also several of my Guided Reading groups that would be able to research information

Video Conferencing: Sue Porter, a retired teacher from Michigan, shared with us her work with Polycom and TWICE.com. This was very informative as she shared with us different ways to connect to educational sites for video conferencing. One site that I also found was []. There are many good educational ways for our class to conference with other students and adults especially through CAPspace _Collaberation Around the Planet. This is a great organization to help us conference around the world.
