Hello C’s Class

In my class today we had a really excellent guest speaker that scared the crap out of me… Basically he is an internet genius and told the class how scary the internet can be and all this other crazy information that all of you will want to know, so keep reading!

Let me start things off with asking, who all uses snap chat? Probably all of you at some point or you currently have an account. Well guess what. Snap chat has EVERY SINGLE picture and or video you have taken on snapchat! So not just the ones you have sent but all those ugly selfies you have taken and then deleted, yup they have those too. So should you delete you snap? I mean probably, or just stop taking ugly pictures and remember what ever snap sees, the snap world has access to… Holy crap I probably just blew your mind because mine sure was at this presentation.

Okay what’s next? This one is just a tip for all you creepers out there. Have you ever stocked someone on insta? LOL yes you have because that’s basically what insta is for. Have you ever been humiliated because as you are creeping some hot guy and you accidentally liked his pic from like 50 weeks ago? Well hot tip coming at yeah, put your phone on airplane mode and BOMB… nothing will happen… try it, go tap that pic as many times as you want. You’re welcome.

Want some more advice? Basically don’t be an idiot! If you are second guessing posting a pic, a status, video, sharing someone else’s video then DON’T DO IT. Some female elementary teach put a pic of her students on her TINDER profile… Like how dumb can you be! You guys are smarter than that! If you don’t have consent to do what you are doing or maybe in your head you think “hmm I would never show the principal my tinder profile with my students in it” them hmmm maybe it’s not a good idea! If you are worried about someone seeing a pic of you doing something you shouldn’t be doing or you think that you would never want you employer to see a certain pic then don’t post it. If you don’t get it by now not to be an idiot on the internet then I don’t know how else I can help you..sorry not sorry! I warned you…

As a future teacher I have a few words of wisdom for those who have kids, teach students, or really anyone that likes to learn something new and share it with others. Educate those around you on using social media pleaseeee. Teach people that once you put something on the internet it will probably be on there forever. But you think “well my insta is private so no one will see a pic of me at a party…” News flash hunny it’s called taking a screen shot. So if your friend takes a screen shot of this pic of you at a party and you deleted it because you are applying for a job well right before your interview this friend makes a post saying “happy birthday girl, party hard” and it’s the picture of you wasted at a party, whelp see yeah later job. Be so carful and educated those around you to also be so carful. Go onto you social media accounts, go through you info and pics, set up privacy settings, and think twice before you post.

This is just some of the things that I learned but I will be going through all my social media accounts to ensure that I have privacy settings and no information out there that someone could use or any pictures that I wouldn’t show my future employers. You all better be doing the same! Below is a TED Talk of Jesse Miller who presented in my class today! Enjoy!

Oh also here is a video I edited on iMovie in class today! lol don’t judge I am new at this… If I get better at it, I will give you some tips and tricks on how to work it. For now just laugh at my editing skills..

 

Anyways, that’s all for now! Keep posted for more blogs this week!
