Weekly Report & Reflection Post #9

This week we added another usesful tool, VoiceThread is an apparatus where one can create a slide show. The interesting part is that other people such as friend, classmates can comment on the slide how in many options such as voice sounded comments or an usual written comment. This can enhance ones slideshow because constructive criticism, tips or compliments on the slideshow can be made in present tense to the creator of the slideshow. This tool can be very much useful in a classroom such as seminar when one is presenting. For example an individual can be presenting and classmates can comment upon the presentation, this is really useful for individuals that may be shy to speak in class.

I first used polldaddy to answer one of the question in our weekly task. After experiencing PollDaddy one is able to post their survey question and have it answered. This tool was used in my first year biology class, the prof will post a question online and the class will enter their answer using there phone or laptop. This was done at the beginning of the class and really intrigued the attention of us students.

I can add PollDaddy and VoiceThread to my personal learning experience when I am doing my next seminar presentation. I will purpose question through PollDaddy. This can create a positive personal learning network, by having a inclusive environment this will give everybody the opportunity to participate. With VoiceThread classmates will be able to ask questions on the material I'm presenting.

This tool differs from tools such as Blogger, Pintrest and Evernote because the other tools we used had multiple purpose. Compared to VoiceThread and PollDaddy that specify is answering polls and slideshows.

On my journey of becoming a digital citizen I picked up some quality tips that will morally better my internet interaction. Digital citizen made me well acquainted with digital etiquette, the responsibility and respect that acts as a code of conduct over the internet. Having a ethical guideline to follow provides regulation of the internet, creating a safer and better world wide web.

I wrote an essay this weekend on an issue raised by the Supreme Court of Canada declared that the police require warrants to gain information about individuals’ internet activities. This central issue directly relates to the major aspects of every Canadian citizen: their fundamental rights and freedoms according to the Canadian Charter of Rights, and Canada. In the article an outstanding mudslide of the citizens of Canada refused the government having access to personal internet activities. This relates to my Feedly because it made me realize that privacy and security is important and violating it makes people uncomfortable.
