Week 6 - Wordle

Important Rules in Cell Phone Etiquette

Top 5 Rules:

1. Turn your phone off and drive. Even if you don't check your phone when it rings, it causes a distraction because you are already thinking about what that person wanted to tell you, so the best way is to avoid that and turn your phone off.
2. Keep your phone on silent in a theater. If you are in a theater it is distracting for another person to hear your conversation or for a person to hear your ringtone, keep your phone on silent so you are notified that you have an incoming call either go out and answer it or ignore it and same goes for texting.
3. Don't text while talking to another person face to face. It is rude to be having two conversations at once. The person you are talking to face to face may get mad if you are texting on your phone instead of paying attention to them.
4. Keep a low voice on the phone when around others. Keeping 10 feet away from someone may not always be enough because they can sometimes still hear your conversation. You don't want others to hear what you are saying so keep your voice low.
5. Keep about 10 feet away from another person when on the phone. You don't want people to know what you are talking about so take it upon yourself to walk away 10 feet so that they can't hear.

Week 6 - ID Theft Reflection

So during week 6 of Online Experience our topic was Identity Theft. Identity Theft is when someone uses your personal information without your permission.

After learning more about Identity Theft I have learned that I need to be more careful about the things I do online. I found out that it isn't good for you to use the same username or password for every account you make. Becuase if someone cracks one account they can crack another after another. Which can lead to a severe case of identity theft.

I have learned ways that someone can steal your information through plenty of ways including old-fashioned stealing, by just taking your purse in the mall.

From now on I will take these steps in making myself more protected online:

• Create more secure passwords by including altealst two or three letters and at least one symbol.
• Have atleast 4-5 different account names to use for different websites.
• Not respond to advertisements claiming I have a new e-mail, a pre-paid debit/credit card, and emails asking from my credit card information, becuase I don't even have a credit card.
• Be careful who I talk to online.

Homecoming!

So I went to homecoming about an hour after it started on Saturday. I had a meet in Portage and it was so worth going to. I got a 15 second PR at 22:27 for the 5k race! Thats a season PR so far. It beat my goal of wanting to do better than Clay. So Portage was about a 2 hour drive and I got home at 7:45 It took me a little over an hour to get ready for the dance. But I am so happy that I got to get. I met up with a few friends at the dance and it was so much fun. I am so excited for Homecoming next year when I'm a sophomore.
