Wikipedia and Privacy

Once again, you have two options to complete for this week's blog post.

Option 1. Using the Van Dijck reading (Chapter 7) and Tuesday's discussion on Wikipedia, make a case for whether or not Wikipedia should be used as a reliable source for student research papers.

Supplement your argument with specific examples from the reading and discussion. Responses should argue for or against in about 3 paragraphs.

Option 2. Have you thought about the information you share online? What does it say about you? Are you protected?

Thursday's topic is Privacy Online. There are so many ways that hackers, scammers, and phishers can access our information. Is any of it actually private?

Tell me what you think about privacy. Are you being proactive about protecting your identity and information online? Explain what you do to keep yourself safe online.

As a part of your response, come up with a set of guidelines (a list of 3-5 governing ideas/techniques) that you would give a high school senior in terms of online protection as they begin thinking about an adult life away from home for the first time.
