the reason of creating this blog is for my school's project . more inportantly though , its to let people know the dangers of blogging . blogging can be fun and also its a way to communicate with other people too . however , do you know it is also dangerous as some people tend to leak out some of their personal information .
posting pictures on blogger may leak out some of your information eg : where you stay
letting other people noe ur information that you leaked out (eg: name , age , etc.)
you know some people through blogger and you dont know who the other party is .
your pictures you post might be photoshopped and spread across the world ( eg : editting it into being nude , funny pictures , etc .)
objectives : encourage creative thinking , teamwork and presentation skills .

1) being street smart ...
Do you know how to be street smart? Being street smart means knowing how to keep yourself safe from strangers . revealing your information on the internet is dangerous . this is what happen to a little girl ...
there was this girl who loved to blog . she revealed alot of her personnal information and soon she knew this stranger who read her blog . they chatted thru msn and the girl gave the man her handphone number . not long after , the man found out her address and sent her gifts!this girl then told her parents about this incident and reported it to the police .
see? revealing your information on the internet is dangerous!so be street smart and do not make friends without knowing the othe party enough .
2) be responsible and respectful ...
Many people exhibited ignorance about copyright laws. The findings, in fact, show that Singapore youths are not using the Internet optimally and adopting cyber wellness practices.
Teenagers here spend an average of 17.2 hours per week online.
72 per cent of students indicated that their parents knew how to use the Internet.
49 per cent of parents never check the websites visited by their children.
10 per cent of parents often use Internet filters.
67 per cent of parents are unaware of their children's passwords to sites.
10 per cent of students sometimes feel depressed, moody or nervous when offline.
2 per cent sometimes fear that life would be boring, empty and joyless without the Internet.
17 per cent (207 students) indicated that they had met people whom they got to know online.
90 per cent would not pay to download files off the Internet.
An overwhelming majority of respondents never or rarely reported illegal online activities of others. (taken from http://www.asiaone.com/Digital/News/Story/A1Story20070523-8363.html )
Perhaps most lacking was the awareness about copyright issues. Some teenagers gave responses like "..it was free. It should be free", as a reason for being unwilling to pay for downloaded material.If it's on the Internet, it's not illegal 'cauz if it's illegal, it would have been taken off already," was another's response.
