Finishing production

In the week 8 we did the privacy digital age in our team,The next topic we want to discuss will be Facebooks digital age for teenagers.

And what exactly is the digital age you ask ? The digital age as we know it today, is the era in which computers and other tech are more widely available to the masses. This allows people to freely transfer and receive information across the globe. Social media is one of the biggest ways in which we do this.

Teenagers use social media as a means of staying connected with friends, joining in on conversations, learning about current events, and meeting new people but there can be many risks that come along with using social media such as pervasive targeted advertising, scams, manipulative product designs and even unwanted contact by someone who is a lot older and possibly dangerous.

This is where Facebook comes in; Facebook has introduced a new privacy protection for teens. These changes are intended to protect children under the age of 18. This is huge news and when it comes into effect, advertisers will only be able to target people under 18 on their age based on their age, gender or location on Facebook, Instagram and messenger. Facebook and Instagram users can change their settings to not receive tailored ads, Instagram is no longer allowing users under 13 to have an account and children under the age of 16 will by default have their account automatically set to private.

All these measures being taken are a step in the right direction but we still have a long way to go when it comes to protecting our data and privacy in the current age.

Peer Review #2

Today, i finished the reading tasks. What I need to do is I need to write feedback from 2 other students. The first step is to learn the SPARK method, I learn what is specific, prescribed, operable, reference and kind. I think these methods are very useful when providing feedback to others. I also think that this method can bring the greatest benefit to those who receive the feedback. The second point is that I have write 2 feedback. So I go to the blog and write down some important notes, because it will allow me to understand what they are trying to say and also give them the best feedback. When I gave her feedback, I used a specific and standardized method for the first blog I also made some suggestions I also used the specific in second feedback and used the referenced method because I think the blog is really good and I have nothing to give feedback, but I try my best to give them Feedback In this lesson, I learned how to use the sprak method and how to provide feedback. I also le...

study skills

Today, I want to talk about the valuable information I found in the study skills video. I found the first thing is the active recalled. Active recall means that you must recall what you know without looking at the answers. I think this technique is very good compared to my previous experience. From my previous experience, I read the text many times because it is the easiest method and there is no pressure but the most efficient way of learning is active learning. Even if you think that active recall is a difficult way to learn, but it will make more effort and will make your brain more active, which will allow you to get better retain knowledge. The second thing is spaced repetition. I also knew this technique before watching the video, but I didn't do it. After watching the 3 best science learning techniques I understand the benefits of spaced repetition. spaced repetition makes your learning more efficient and easy because you should know that the longer you wait, the harder it i...

technological evolution

Today I want to talk about technological evolution. Our human evolution began 1-2 million years ago. Fire began. Humans discovered fire. We can see that humans have begun to understand the environment. After that, we can see that in 1650 we have a pendulum clock. That means we have the correct clock. After It was one of the world’s first personal home computers in 1976 that did not go deep into the technical part at that time. This is the beginning of technology, but there are no media yet. But in 2020, we have quantum computers, and our technological development has undergone great changes at this time. For example, we must know what copyright and media literally and other things. This also shows us that our technology has changed a lot and changed so quickly. However, it wasn't until around 1960 that media literacy as a term or field became "one thing". We can see that the media is developing so fast, and we are not ready yet. I also think that in today's society, w...
