It's Confirmed: Driving's a Full-Time Job - How Texting Impairs Driving Performance - T... - 2 views

  •  
    The study consisted of three major steps. First, participants typed a story of their choice (usually a simple fairy tale) and also read and answered questions related to another story, both on their smart phone in a laboratory setting. They were trying to prove that texting while driving impairs your ability.
  •  
    Researchers and safety advocates have known for years that driving performance worsens when the driver is texting. Now we know just how much worse. Federal statistics suggest that distracted driving contributes to as much as 20 percent of all fatal crashes, and that cell phones constitute the primary source of driver distraction.

digiteen2008 - Digital Health and Wellness - 2 views

  • Digital Health and Wellness is how to stay physically fit.
  • . A few months ago a train wrecked because the driver was texting and not paying attention to how fast he was going
  • I think that alot of middle aged students would be interested in playing the nintendo wii fit.
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • Just a bit of advice for the middle and high school students, put the phone on silent and leave it alone while you are driving because you can really get hurt!
  • Also you can still teach kids to sit correctly when your on a computer
  • So they are just naturally harder to teach than anyone else
  • one of the teachers said that walking into a room without computers was like walking into a desert.
  • This video is all about minor cases of what can and will happen if you text and drive.
  • Here are some pictures of some of the worse things that can happen.
  • Middle school and high school students are more likely to text and drive because they don't know all about the dangers of texting and driving
    • d l
       
      This is true. Texting and driveng is very dangerous.
  • A good saying for this is," I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand." Confucious.
    • d l
       
      I agree.
  • One is that they are more affected by predators
  • The second is WE have to keep them from getting too much computer consumption
  • Doctors say kids should only get 1 or 2 hours of "screen time" a day.
  • People of all ages are becoming more and more dependent on computers and mobile phones.
  • Digital health and wellness is about staying fit and healthy I think. People that spend to much on computers or use there mobile phones to much should cut down heaps.
  • A. Elementary Aged Students Don't let them stay on the computer for extended amounts of time, don't let them get on Myspace or Facebook, and when they are on the computer the parents should always be watching them no matter what. B. Middle / High School Aged Students The middle school students should be allowed a little more freedom but by the same token i don't think that they should be allowed to get on Myspace or Facebook. Those things will bring a lot more trouble than anything else. Do you think that the people on Myspace are looking for a good christian page or a page that has a lot of bad pictures on it? I don't have a Myspace or Facebook and truly I don't want one. C. Adults Adults should be allowed to do what they want. I mean really what can we do to stop them? Nothing!! We can try all that we want to but adults get more addicted and are harder to get out of that habit. Then again I think that the adults will be the best influence for the young kids and if they will try and spread the word for the kids they can do anything for them that they want to

Facebook keeps 'deleted' user photos for years - 13 views

  • Even if you delete incriminating photos on your Facebook profile, the company is keeping them accessible to anyone online for up to 30 months.

      woahhhhh that seems really creepy. i dont think that is right for a company to have a deleted photo of you for 30 months. if you delete it, then you delete it for a reason, not so even more people that are in a company to see you doing something that you thought people to see but then relized it was stupid to put this on in the first place.
  •  
    This article points out that up to 30 months after photos are deleted from Facebook that they are still there. If someone has the direct URL to a photo, it is still accessible. Students should be taught about this and we should educate ourselves as well. Once something is uploaded it is out there. Period. You cannot take it back.

FOXNews.com - Cyberbullying: Parents, Tech Companies Join Forces to Keep Kids Safe - Sc... - 1 views

  • An ex-friend’s mother faces charges in federal court as a result, and Missouri has made Internet harassment a crime.
  • Cyberbullies often commandeer e-mail accounts and social-networking profiles, attacking kids while pretending to be someone they trust, like a best friend. They use cell phones and the Web to spread embarrassing and cruel material, and they can harass their victims well beyond the schoolyard -- even when they're "safe" at home.
  • 85 percent of 5,000 middle-school students surveyed said they had been cyberbullied. Only 5 percent of them said they’d tell someone about it.

  • Aftab said she knows of three other teens who have committed suicide after cyberbullying attacks, and that the problem is on the rise.
  • Cyberbullying peaks in 4th and 7th grade
  • 4th graders are especially into blackmail and threatening to tell friends, parents or teachers if the victim doesn’t cooperate.
    • Vicki Davis
       
      This is essential to discuss in 4th and 7th grades as this says these are the places where this happens most.
  • The most outrageous recent way is through theft of a cell phone for a few minutes," Aftab said. "If your kids leave their cell phone unattended or accessible in their backpack, the cyberbully will take it and send a bunch of bad text messages or reprogram it.”
    • Vicki Davis
       
      Taking cell phones is part of cyberbullying.

    Important article about cyberbullying and some recent legislation.
  •  
    Excellent article on cyberbullying and an example of a girl who was harrassed online and killed herself. This sort of thing is tragic and we should consider what we think aboutinternet harrassment penalties, particularly against children. There are mention of several websites including one I'd never heard of called CyberBully Alert.

  • n the US, ethnicity is an issue; whites and Asians access the internet more than the African Americans and Hispanics. In Kenya, it is probably where you live that decides your destiny with technology, for even with education and good income, reliable internet services are available only in the major towns.
  • Overall, 59 per cent of Americans have access to the internet, seven per cent in Asia and only 1.4 per cent in Africa (Internet World State, 2005).

      Notice the date of this information (2005). May want to be on the look out for more recent data.
