My Weekly Blog Review

This has been the best week yet since we started school back in august. We Have been in our new building for two weeks now. The only thing we really did this week was take some notes and work on our e portfolios.

We added a lot of new stuff to our e portfolios like our blogs and we embedded all our web 2.0 tools in our portfolio. We didn't have a new web 2.0 tool this week which i'm kind of glad we didn't because that just means more work.

  • Scam- An attempt to trick someone, usually with the intention of stealing money or private information.

  • Identity theft- A type of crime in which your private information is stolen and used for criminal activity.

  • Vulnerable- In a position that makes it easier for you to be harmed or attacked.

  • Phishing When people send you phony emails, pop-up messages, social media messages, texts, calls, or links to fake websites in order to hook you into giving out your personal and financial information.

Here are a few things that can happen if your identity gets stolen you could lose money, lose credit, lose money, get robbed, etc. Thats why its best to keep up with everything you do.

Here is 4 rules to follow to protect yourself online:
  1. Avoid opening the message or email in the first place
  2. Don't click on any links
  3. Don't reply
  4. Mark as ‘junk mail’ or ‘spam’ for your email provider

That's everything for this week it has been a fun and easy week i'm really looking forward to the weekend and i'm pretty sure y'all are to. I hope you enjoyed reading my blog. I can't wait to do another one next week.
