2nd Post

2nd Post: Choose either the Citizenship or Character Ends statement that you are going to work towards in school and in your life.  Write about why you chose it. Include a list of activities that you already do that show that you are trying to reach that goal.

I choose Citizenship, because it is very important of my life. First, I always have a responsibility with my homework. I do my homework every day. Second, I help people by returning their own things. One day, I picked up a key of someone in school; I didn’t know who dropped the key, so I brought it to the Main Office. Finally, the most important is I participate to build the country and society better by studying harder and improving my English skills.

Goal Meaning

1st Post: In your own words, explain what each of these goals means.

Citizenship

This goal means each student is one of responsibility for helping people by participating in other activities not just for country but also all around the world and all communities.

Character

This goal means each student must behave well with other students. Every student has different characteristics, so we have to mutual respect. Not only yourself, you have to help other students.

Discussion 2:

1)  How much do you live online / how much time do you spend online; what types of things do you do online?

I spend 2 hours to live online. I do online on Yahoo Messenger.

How could you do your school work on it?

I have a personal electronic device. My school worked on it because my school has Wi-Fi and internet.

Computers give us more human connections, because nowadays internet has Yahoo, Facebook…These websites are social network, and so people can chat each other.

4)  If you had to write 3 rules for internet ethics and manners what would they be?

If I had three rules for internet ethics and manners, they would be no hacking website, no cursing each other on internet, and no creating website has bad contents.

5)  Do you think teachers should encourage or discourage multitasking (doing many different things at the same time, such as listening to your iPod, texting, and working on an assignment)?

I think teachers should discourage students about using technology while working on an assignment, because it is very distracting and make your assignment incomplete.

6)  What do you think is better for teaching and learning: D2L (closed learning management system) or blogs or other open public social networking tools? Why?

I think opening public social networking tools is better for teaching and learning, because the social networking tools have a lot of information and document for studying.

7)  Is there a need for online relationships in learning?

Yes, we need for online relationship in learning, because when you stuck in assignments, you can contact your friend for helping.
