Week+7+(B)+Internet+Safety

Internet Safety.



We have heard about people reducing their "carbon footprint" but what about the reduction of their "internet tracks". We all use the internet in some form or fashion, but just how much information about our personal lives, can be tracked back to us. Today we will discuss how trackable we can become when using the internet. This discussion is not designed to scare you, but simply to keep you informed and safe. I would like for you to view the 5 minute video clip entitled "Tracking Teresa". While you are watching the video, see how much information you can find about her before the narrator lists what he is able to find. If the video does not work or run properly, you can click on this link and view it on the actual website: Tracking Teresa

__**TASKS:**__ E-mail me three statements about yourself. Make two true statements and one statement false. I will review what you have written. We will read the statements out loud in class and as a class try and distinguish which statement is false and which are true. Try not to make the false statements so obvious.

Go to the Discussion tab for this page and share your thoughts concerning this video clip. Here are a few things you may want to consider in your post : Have you put personal information about yourself on the internet? How trackable are you? What do you think you may do differently the next time you are in a public chat room or public internet environment?
