FlickrCC Images
On FlickrCC, there is an enormous amount of images to view. I enjoyed browsing through pictures of magnificent landscapes and features of the world. The images I chose to post on my blog feature the amazing and awe-inspiring sights around the globe. The pictures on my post today show how truly brilliant and wonderful nature is. I love the beauty of nature and decided to showcase the breathtaking views of the world we live in on my blog post today.

I plan to use my blog to talk about my life and voice my opinion about issues and events occurring in the world. I will enjoy writing about my life so people can get to know me better. An issue I will also address is being a good digital citizen. I will write about cyberbullying, privacy, and how to maintain a good reputation over the internet. I will speak about the pros and cons of how much technology, specifically the internet and cyberspace affect our lives. In my blog, I must also ensure that I keep aspects of my life private and to not include them in my posts. Posts including my address or any other personal information could easily cause problems over the internet.
Now, I want to go more in depth about being a good digital citizen. Digital citizenship is how you interact and behave through technology. Many rights and responsibilities are required of a digital citizen. The first issue that manypeople forget about until they become accused of it is plagiarism. It is important that credit is given to those who deserve it. This means that we must always cite where we received our information from. Although we may not get caught or accused of plagiarism, eventually it will happen. Many people do not realize that anyone has access to everything on the internet. A teacher or professor can effortlessly find where you received your words from. Remembering to always cite your work and never simply copy and paste and simply forget the consequences of your action. Digital citizens must be courteous and conscientious of what they post on the internet, because it will remain in cyberspace forever. Digital citizens need to realize that people are not always who they appear to be. There are many creepers, stalkers, and pedophiles in the world that pose as innocent children. It is just as important to maintain proper etiquette both in person and in cyberspace. Cyberbullying occurs everyday over the internet. People insult others under an anonymous screen name, causing the victim to become terrified, frightened, and severely insulted. If you wouldn’t say or do it in person, don’t do it in cyberspace. In today’s world, it is more important than ever to be cautious of what you do, say, or post on the internet. We do not think about who the pictures and words floating around in cyberspace will affect. Negative images and words can easily
interfere with future opportunities, such as jobs, colleges, and others’ opinions of you. In order to maintain a positive reputation in cyberspace, we must always consider the consequences of our actions. Although our actions may not have taken affect now, they may come back to haunt us in the future.
