In this lesson, we had learnt more about the internet, mostly about the informations it provides and its content.
Internet content is unregulated. We often see hate sites, fake sites and received chain mails, hoaxes and scams on the internet. These are all example of cyper crap. It is important to differentiate what is crap and what is correct on the internet. We had learnt that chain mails and such could bring fear to others and minght even bring harm to ourselves. Thus we should not foward it to others.
We has also learnt that using the internet for research , the information we gather night be false. We have to know how to determine whether the information we have is what we really wanted. And today, we had learnt some tips to know if the information we have is correct. We must make sure that the information provided in websites are consistent. They should tally with others similar websites. The information should not contain any biased views. It should have more facts and information. The website should also be updated.

cyber wellness :)
In this lesson, i had learnt the importance of keeping our private imformation a secret online. We should not give anyone online any clues regarding our gender, age, name. We could do this by having nicknames that could be use for people of different gender, age, name. Thus, we could be safe from hackers and perverts. I had also learnt from the lesson how to differentiate the 2 levels of information which are public and private. Some information that does not allow others to know our identity are considered public imformation whereas informations that contain our personal info are private information. Pictures are considered private info as they contain our images, people would know how we look like. Thus we should not reveal pictures on the internet , to prevent people with bad motives like hackers or perverts from knowing us.

racial harmony
My neighbours are malays. They are camera-shy hence there is no picture of them. :( Even though we belong to different races, we are able to live together without being racist.Being in different races, had help us to adapt to the different tradition and the different things we do. We had also learn more about the malay race and what they do during days that are important to them.
Living with people of different races had allow us to gain more knowledge about them and enable us to show our respect to them. i treasure having neighbours like them. ^^
