Reflection on Week 5 of the course

As we nearing the end of the course, it is getting more interesting. Austin Bell, in my opinion, wrote the best post so far, eloquently describing his views about the evilness of google. Lindsey Myers stated that she got really scared after reading the articles. I am going to reiterate a comment I post, I believe, on Leticia's initial post, digital responsibility should be considered as an extra duty both as parents and teachers. I always find it bizarre what people have chosen on blogs without the thought that it is public records. We need to find a way to make students understand that whatever they post on google or any other blog is an indelible and can comeback later to haunt them in life. I personally do not have any worry of google because I am not that naive to think that I have any privacy. I will echo the exhortation of the author of one of the articles who suggested that it is imperative for our students to have digital knowledge. I have a three year-old son, while I want to supervise what he does in the future using these mediums, I would not want him to be left off the bus in the electronic age.
