Norway!

I  choose norway for my country, I was pretty sure that it wouldn't be one of the first countries taken! I really love Norway plus Norway has always interested me, and I think that I'm going to like doing this project.

Scenario #1- A student sends a harassing e-mail to another student. The receiving student
retaliates with a “flaming e-mail.”    

                    I think this is not the appropriate response; the receiving student should have saved the email and showed it to an adult or teacher so that they can handle the situation.

Scenario #2 – When hanging out with friends, one of the students makes a call on their cellphone and carries on a conversation while still within the group. Is this okay? Why or why not?  

                    I think this is okay because the friends probably have a casual relationship together. Although it wouldn't be okay if the student on the phone was talking about other students in the group.

Scenario #3 – A student logs on to a free file sharing website and downloads a song they just heard on the radio. Is this ok? Why or why not?

                    I think this is not okay because if you download and distribute copyrighted music, other materials over the Internet without proper payment or permission, you are stealing.

Scenario #4 – A student follows a questionable link to a website and downloads a malicious script which releases a Trojan Horse virus on to the school network. Is the student to blame? Why or why not?

                 I think that this could go either way, the student didn't know there was a virus on the link, but the link did look questionable so the student should have had told a teacher.

Scenario #5 – An hour before class, a student remembers that a writing assignment is due. The student goes to the library, logs on to a website, and copies/pastes the information. Is this ok? Why or why not?

                   This is not okay because this is plagiarism which is illegal!

Scenario #6 – At home, a student uses a software package to copy movies and games from DVD’s for his or her friends. Is this within fair-use laws? Explain.

                   No this is not within fair use law because, downloading and distributing copyrighted games over the Internet without proper payment or permission, is stealing.

Scenario #7 – A student logs into the school website to download the syllabus they lost. Are they breaking any rules or laws? Explain.

                   The student isn't breaking and rules or laws, because teacher put their syllabus online so that students and their parents can download it.

Scenario #8 – Students spend a good amount of time in class creating a web page for a school sponsored fundraiser. However, there website is not usable by certain individuals with disabilities. Was this disrespectful or wrong of them?

                   This is disrespectful, because people should treat everyone equally!

Computer Survey and Results- Reflections

At the beginning of the survey, I was really uncertain if I knew more or less about these computers than everyone else. I was surprised to find out that I knew a lot more than I thought I did, because I'm not very familiar with Mac computers. And for the results, I was really surprised that the entire class knew a lot more than I thought we were. Therefore I am a lot more confident now about taking this multimedia class than I was at the very beginning of the year!
