The semester has finally come to an end so this will be my last blog about information pertaining to good digital citizenship. In the book LOL... OMG by Matt Ivester he taught his audience the importance of being a good digital citizen and how to become a good digital citizen. The user should always watch out for the content they post and the content they “like” on social media. The user should always watch out for who they are friends with on social media, along with their privacy settings when they are posting content onto their social media accounts. Also, the user should always be thinking twice before posting content online because anything posted on the internet is considered forever.These were the biggest take away points from the book. In this class I did a research paper about Jofi Joseph, somebody who was fired for posting negative content about their coworkers and employer online, who was eventually fired.

PowerPoint has been around for many years so people are getting tired of seeing the same stuff over again. This blog post will introduce the viewers to some new presentation tool alternatives.

People can get bored when listening to the information if the visual effects are not effective.

Protecting Digital Reputation In the book, LOL...OMG by Matt Ivester , the author talks about before posting the content on social media it is important to understand where content might end up, the people who will see it, and how people will react to the post. It is important to filter through content before posting it online and figure out the reason certain things should or should not be posted. Understanding the reason behind the action reduces the amount of risk taken when posting content. One of the potential hazards associated are temporarily impaired emotions like “drunk facebooking.” When someone with thousands of friends online writes something, everybody will see the message. This would make the content harder to renege in the face of such a huge audience. And timing is also important, If someone is currently in the eye of the public for whatever reason, they would have increasing eyes on them just waiting for a chance to scrutinize them. There are many ways

In the book, Untangling the Internet by Steve Dembo, the author talks about the internet curation sites like delicious. These sites made a way for people to personalize information and at the same time make the information public so other users could use the information too.

He talks about how stories are not reviewed thoroughly and just posted onto the internet. Schlerethh also talks about how bloggers are not held to any journalist integrity.  He states “ Being first is more important than being right but years ago being right was the only thing that mattered.” He talks about how being  first generates more buzz even if it is not necessarily correct. Schlerethh recounts how an analyst found a tweet from two years prior that Charles Barkley had wrote. Charles Barkley talked about how James Harden was not a good player and should be not have been drafted to the Oklahoma Thunders. Also, that Harden was not the best player on the team and would prove to be a big waste of money. Then Barkley says later that Harden is a good player. Barkley never did his homework on Harden, that is why he made a bad judgement call when  saying Harden wa
