Project Summary

During this "Blogging" project, I learnt that not everything on the internet is safe. Like downloading, sharing your personal information with strangers, talking to people on the internet...e.t.c.

This was suppose to be a challenging project. I found it quite difficult doing some of the things. I think the most challenging part was to embed stuff, such as: Google docs, Library Thing, Wordle and Delicious, for all of those, I needed help from my friends. Some of it I found it fairly easy like, embedding Youtube, adjusting the width for the posts, organizing my blog and adding different gadgets!

How I learnt?
I learnt by figuring out how to embed something. I think this is going to be the best way to learn because when you figure things out yourself you will remember it better!

Next time, I will try not to ask for that much help and try to figure it out myself.

As this is my first project, I really liked it, it was a good experience!

After this project, I learned that being challenged isn't that bad, it's actually quite fun because you get to play around with stuff and explore the internet!

I hope my overall score will be satisfying!

5 Google Search Tips

Here are some tips on how to search efficiently on "Google". Here are a few...

Helpful Tips:
1. Every word you type is essential.
2. When searching, case is not important.
3. Every word you put in brackets will be used
    E.g, A search for [ south china ] is the same as a search for [ South China ].
4. Punctuation is also ignored, including @#$%^&*()=+[]\|!~ and other special characters.
5. You must always keep your words simple

Hope you found these tips helpful!

Activities I do

In my spare time I do many activities. Swimming, Ice-Skating, Drawing and Piano. I also take extra lessons after school. I take Maths lessons and Chinese. They are there to help me improve my learning! Sometimes it can be very boring but sometimes it can be fun! Swimming is my strength but not my favourite, my parents say that it is good for me and it makes me grow taller! I participated in a number of competitions, sometimes I win and sometimes I lose. To me, it doesn't really matter if you win or lose as long as you had fun and you tried your best! Ice-skating is my favourite because it is very graceful and the tricks looks amazing! When I am bored at home I draw and sketch. I use to learn drawing, for drawing you need to have lots of patience. As I grow up I have more homework so I don't have much time to learn drawing, but I still enjoy it! In piano I am grade 6. I kind of like piano, depending on the piece I play. The teacher usually choses the piece I play, except for an examination. I like the songs in a fair speed, I don't like slow songs because the rhythm sounds boring. In a speedy song there is a good rhythm to it and it makes you want to dance! I enjoy doing all of them!

Improper Way of Using the Internet

The internet can be quite useful but in another way it can be quite dangerous! The internet is connected to the world! So you must be careful what you put to share with other people. You can't share your personal information. For example: your age, school, last name, mobile or other information. In case of other evil people, will steal your information and do something bad to you! They can meet you and pretend to be your friend (Facebook) and once you get to see them they will ask you for money and black mail you! Also if you buy something expensive from the internet and give your credit card number. The website you use might not be safe, they can take your credit card and steal all of your money! Not all of the websites are safe you should not trust the internet! There are also viruses on the internet so beware of what you click! Don't download something that is illegal or something you're not sure about. You should always ask if you are not sure!

In a good way, you can use the internet for education like doing some research. The internet provides a wide range of sources for you to use but again, not all the information is true! Like, Wikipedia, everyone can edit and change information so you can't trust the information on wikipedia.

Here are some examples of an improper way of using the internet:
1. When using a social website (Facebook, Blogger) do not share all your personal information because other people people might steal your information.
2. On Facebook, don't add people or chat with strangers you don't know, they might invite you to come out and then trap you!
3. Don't download everything you like as that may cause virus.

The internet is not that bad but only if you be careful of what you do! Don't download things or catch virus. You should ALWAYS think before you act!
