We have had a lot going on: big essay projects, Term One Math Tests, Advent concert preparations, reading assessments, and a visit to “Ms. Poirier’s Christmas Tree Farm”!
ADST/Arts Ed.: Decorate your mini-Christmas tree!Our class participated in an “erase” Zoom workshop titled “Establishing Safe, Caring and Respectful Digital Communities”. Here is a breif summary of the main points of the session:TikTok, Instagram, and other apps track your usage and use that information to target advertisements to you with persuasive designs. Be very careful to not use social media to escape your day, but instead prioritize your mental health. Be aware of online strangers, and don’t offer personal information that could put you at risk. Be aware of how apps like Snapchat can track your location and share that even when you don’t realize it. Read privacy policies and understand them. Snapchat keeps 200 days of data minimum, even if you think it’s deleted. “Digital footprint” as a concept is now better considered a “digital tattoo” because it’s there forever. Be aware that employers and universities may look at your social media presence, so represent yourself well. Google yourself with your name and quotation marks once in a while. Don’t share intimate images. Don’t be a bystander, but be an upstander.
We are now starting a big unit on multiplication. We reviewed some basics, starting with arrays.
