Cool things this week

This week was very exciting because we finally moved in to The new building. No more College classrooms, we now have new equipment and are ready to start. A great way to kick off the new building is to talk about our new vocab words.

Our new words this week are...

Track- When companies collect information about you online. Example- Bobs company tracked Bills searches giving him a list of their products.

Target- Content sent To you based on what a company collected about you. Example- When billy searches things now, Bobs products show up for Billy.

Demographic- Painting a picture based on what you do/ lets companies know waht race you are/ gender/ age/ etc.

Cookies- Content contained on your computer that tells where you have been online. Example- John checked his sons cookies to find out what he has been up to.

Our new web 2.0 tool this week was a site called Mixbook. Mixbook is a photo scrap booking site that can be shared and viewed online. We based ours on ways to stay safe from virusis and other things online. I only had one problem with it. It was very distressfull how you had to create a layout from the vey small variety of choices. My mix book can be found below.

Also this week, Hurricane Sandy Destroyed the east coast causing billions in damages in new jersey alone. Millions of people are homeless and many people were not prepared for this kind of damage. Let our hearts and wishes go out to all of those that were affected by this massive Hurricane. 

Well that is all for this week. Please keep up with the news on Hurricane Sandy, and be sure to think about them. That is all for this week, see you next time.
