1. You work at a university. You have to choose a few talented students to spend six weeks on your college campus between their sophomore and junior year. Question: What would you want to know about these students? What could you find out about them online?
2. You are finally old enough to join a social networking site and set up your profile! You spend a lot of time making the profile look cool and you have links to many of your friends. Your mom makes her own profile and asks you to be her friend. Question: Is this fair? Explain your thinking.

1. I would want to know how serious these students take school, obviously they get good grades but I would want to know what they're like outside of school. Who one hangs out with affects the attitude of this person, if they hang out with others who do bad things, they probably have bad habits. Online I could see what types of things they post, and what they feel through their statuses, or even what types of pictures they post. Many of my friends on Facebook post various pictures of themselves doing strange acts and making poses that could make another think differently of them. A person's online profile is set up so your "friends" can find out information about you, such as interests and what you're doing. To me, the Internet is scary because there is so much information that is accessible about yourself.
ReplyDelete2. I think that it is fair to have your mother as your friend on a social networking site, it's like having a screen, you know what you can post and what you shouldn't post online. I am friends with my mother on Facebook and she doesn't post anything embarrassing. Some people don't want to add their parents on social networking sites because they say, "oh if I add my mother, I'll have to take some things down" and truthfully, some people post some ridiculous things on social networking sites
1. I would like to know what their interests were and if they would like my University. I could probably find out what type of career they want to have and the kind of student they are; hard-worker, slacker, or a neutral student.
ReplyDelete2. No because the mom does not really have to be there. She can trust that her daughter would not do anything bad and stay away from her social life.

1. I would want to know if they got any degrees yet, what is their career, and what college they went to before. I could call the person in charge of that previous college they had went to and ask some questions.
ReplyDelete2. I don't think it's fair, since my mom would be invading my privacy and looking what I post online. It is okay for her to check at times on what I am up to. Though my mom joining the site just to see everything I do is unfair.
1. If I worked at a University and I needed to chose six talented students to work with, I would definitely need to know a lot of information about them. I think maybe I would need to know about their school habits, perhaps what their weaknesses and strengths are. It would definitely help. Also, I would think it would be good to know their personalities and how they act towards others. Online, I could find out anything they've put on the internet. What goes on the internet basically stays on the internet. So if they created a myspace or facebook while in middle school and high school I could possibly see it. It would help me understand what's important in their life and if they're serious about anything.
ReplyDelete2. If my mom requested me on Facebook, I would definitely think it's fair. She is the one provides the access to Facebook by providing our phones and computers. Parents have every right to see what they're children are doing online. Although I don't have my mom on Facebook, I still have church leaders and other family members as friends. My mom trusts me, and I don't want to dissapoint her or lose her trust. Every teenager should have this point of view. What they post online stays with them for the rest of their lives.
1. I would want to know if specifically what their talent is, what school they came from, and if they have any bad records. They could be a different person online then in person. For example, if they had a Facebook or Myspace, I would see what they were posting so that could determine what person they really are; attitude wise.
ReplyDelete2. Yes, I personally think its fair. Your parents should know what your writing on your profile or what pictures you're posting. Even though it's kind of personal and private, they still should know. The parents aren't going to know what their child is really like if they don't see what's online.

1. There are many things that would be good to know. One thing would be how they are academically. If they're good in school and also how there attitude is in the classroom. Also how they act outside of school is a big thing, things they do for fun and what interest them if the play sports. I could find out a lot online. Birthdays, friends, parents, where they were born, interests, where they might be that day, places they check into I might even be able to find out there telephone number.
ReplyDelete2. I don't see anything wrong with having your mom as a friend on a networking site. There's nothing un fair about this because she can make a page if she wants to. If she requests you it's simply your decision if you want too approve her or not. Some people may not want to approve there mothers because of privacy, secrets, language and also pictures. Others don't really care. I don't see it as a problem or anything if you wanna add your mom on your page the go for it. everyone has their own opinion and that's mine. Everyone also desrves there own privacy so it's their call.
1.I would want to know what they enjoy doing in everyday life, and how they are doing in school. I would choose a student who is talented in some area that they really love. Also, knowing about how they treat other people including friends and parents will help me get to know about them.
ReplyDeleteSome information I could find online would be their hobby and how they treat others. For example on Facebook, I will be able to see their profile to examine what they like to do. Pictures and posts can help me see how talented they are as well. The photos of them can show me how they dress and act in daily life when they are responsible for themselves. Connections between the student’s parents and friends may also be found online.
2. Even if the mother is really close to her child and has responsibilities for them, they do not have the right to invade their children’s privacy. There is nothing wrong about a mother making a profile and wanting to be her daughter’s friend online. Still, she should not force her child to accept her request. Children are also individual people, who have privacy. Even though children needs to be responsible for what they do online, parents need to trust them for their actions. It is not right to use the profiles to stalk their children and invade their privacy.
1. What I would like to know about these students is about their talents. I would like to know how they became interested in in and when they began to have their talent. I would also like to know a little about their personal lives so that we could all get along a bit better. Online, I could find out their personality. In real life you don’t always know a persons personality just by knowing their name and what they do, but online people had the freedom to express their selves and people get to see the real you. Most of the time it would be about random thoughts that even the people with the thoughts don’t take seriously, this would show that the person can act a different way but wouldn’t prefer it. You also can’t judge a person by what they put online, so really you would only find out a part of a persons personality.
ReplyDelete2. I believe that is fair to add your mom on social networking websites. Moms just want to monitor what you are doing online to keep you safe. Although I believe this, I wouldn’t want my mother to judge me about what I post online. But all in all it is just simply fair to add my mom, in the future it might even save you from unwanted drama.
