The Blue Nowhere blog 2

I find myself one moment being upset with the character Gillette for hacking into those systems. I feel that is morally wrong. The next instant I'm almost siding with him grateful he can assign that bot to plug into Phates computer and figure out where he is. That is amazing and beyond me! Phate is the "bigger" bad guy so I find myself forgetting that Gillette is too!

The Blue Nowhere

I was very excited to get to read a novel!!It is a hard book to put down. It is also very scary to know all this is possible. It's hard to believe that a women(Lara), who made it her life business to help women protect themselves could be caught herself! It has so many twists in it and I couldn't believe he just walked in and took that girl Sammie from school posing as her Uncle Irv! That is just plain scary! How do we keep our children safe?? I'm beginning to change my view on hacking. If Gillette does indeed turn out to be a good guy and he has helped them by hacking, will maybe it is ok in certain circumstance?? Can't believe I'm saying that!

ISTE Rules

This whole blogging thing is brand new to me and I'm not real comfortable with it yet! I do already know I have learned alot from this class and it's only the first week! I have read the standards for students as well as teachers. I'm sure I can abide by them. As a teacher some of them I already do are as follows: I enforce classroom procedures on the computer, implement procedures that are consistent with our district and school policies, use e-mail to communicate with parents as well as co-workers, and I use microsoft office to write newsletters and do lesson plans.
I have reviewed the student standards and looked at 1st grade. I do use all of the K-2 performance indicators in my classroom. My students become familiar with the mouse and keyboard. They view videos using United Streaming and their are other websites I allow them to go to in order to enhance their reading, writing and math.
