Journal Entry #8: Digital Law
I found most surprising about this unit, the fact that so much material can actually be copied for teaching needs. Teachers have a lot of access to basically whatever they need without notifying the owner of the material. I just thought that was very interesting and different.
I found most of this confusing. The wording just made a lot of the questions hard for me to answer. I didn't really understand what you were looking for as answers, while doing the 17 questions on the copyright and copy-wrong.
I think the copyright matters material is a good guide for students when they are unsure about copyright information. I think it has a lot of helpful information that can be easily accessed. It is just whether students would access it or not.
The website NeedHelpNow.com is also a very good help for students looking for information on cyber bulling. It has a lot of important information that can help students during a bad situation. It also, has a lot of sources on how to report the cyber bullying incident. I just don't think it is know that well by many people so, it isn't as efficient as it could be. I think the biggest issue for young people when it comes to copying is the copying in itself. Copying is so easy to do now with all the technology. Many students just don't have the work ethic or desire to finish assignments on their own. Many students would much rather just take a paper offline and take the risk, rather than spend time doing it themselves. Copying happens a lot now a days and it's a growing issue for young people!
I think the biggest issue for young people when it comes to cyber bullying is that many people don't report it. It happens so often now a days with the technology we have and many people don't even consider themselves bullying or being bullied. A lot of people don't know where or how to report these cyber bullying issues. If the websites and places to report them got out there more, cyber bullying might be easier to catch and abolish.
Assignment #2: CyberBullying (and Privacy)
1. Two actions that can violate someones privacy are:
non-consensual distribution of an intimate image and voyeurism
2. Canada has many other laws, one is "Acts that hurt the reputation of another person", example, impersonation. Another law in Canada is "Acts that make others feel unsafe", example, blackmail.
3. Three examples on how you can report a potential crime are: local police agency, Cybertip.ca and Kids Help Phone (1-800-668-6868).
4. The section on "Removing pictures/videos" gives you a couple different examples on where to go when needing to remove pictures/videos. It even lists the steps on what to do for removing this media from the certain kind of website. Such as on Facebook, you need to state your age, that you're in the picture, state that you do not like it and want it removed and also let them know if you have sent the picture to anyone else. The section on "Getting emotional support" also has a lot of helpful tips for people that need help in these situations. It has a category for the most helpful people to go to and how to approach them such as: family, friends, safe adults and other services. It gives you helpful tips on how to deal with each type of person and how they might react to the situation.
5. A point from the "Manifesto" video that I liked is how they can actually help you get your life back. They can help improve the situation you're in and get you back in control of your life! I thought it was interesting on how they could solve your problem and were very welcoming to do so.
6. I think one way that I could help support the #ChangeTheStory campaign would be to share the information I know with others. Getting awareness about this campaign out there is good and very helpful. I could easily do so by verbally sharing information with friends or also using the hashtag on my social media posts!

Journal Entry #7: Digital Access
What I found most surprising about this unit was that small communities are getting more of an advantage to high-speed internet than very big cities are getting. I found it difficult to think of three positive and negative things for the situations we were given. I think I found it difficult because the positive and negative things I was thinking of were similar to each other. I do think everyone should have fast, reliable internet because it is very frustrating if you don't have it and the companies would get a lot of complaints. No place deserves faster internet. I am never nervous about my privacy online when I share something because I feel like I can trust the internet and I know the thing I am sharing is trust worthy. I think I could prevent my privacy being invaded online by showing as little information about myself as possible. I don't think I will be haunted by anything I post because I am very careful with what I post. What I think is the biggest issue for young people with digital access and privacy is that they will post things they will regret in the future and it could possibly hurt their possibilities for future jobs.
