Nettiquettte

What is Netiquette? Netiquette is set of rules for behaving properly online. Netiquette effects everyone who uses the internet. Without rules for behaving online many peoples stuff could get stolen or fights could break out and even cross over to the real world where someone could get hurt. Cyber bullying seems like a popular topic right now and netiquette may help to stop cyber bullying. Cyber bullying is a great example of poor netiquette, as is being rude or just picking on people over the web. On the other hand their are still people out there with good netiquette who are polite and help others online. They don't call out others mistakes publicly, but instead go the person directly and let them know what they did wrong without making fun of them for their mistake. These are just some examples of good and netiquette.

What is copyright?

Copyright is what helps to stop people from stealing music and artwork from others and reproducing it. Without copyright laws a lot of people could get ripped off, and make the money they rightfully earned. In many cases if the infringer is caught they are forced to pay a certain amount of money to the copyright owner, and stop using their work. Copyright laws state that when using someone elses work you must have their permission and give them credit for their work. The author or owner of the work has the right to allow others to reproduce, distribute, and use their work if they wish to do so.

Argentina Glog

Research Project

My favorite part of the research project was the power point. It was fun to make, and it wasn't to hard to do. I learned a lot about Argentina.  I found out that one Argentine peso is worth 20 US cents and that there main language is Spanish. I also would jot know about the Iguassu falls if i hadn't done this project. Overall this was a fun project to do.
