Hyperlink on blogging

Blog is short for weblog

Some examples of blogs are Facebook, Twitter, and Tumbler

Blogs are websites where you can find reviews, chat, and look at opinions of other people

There are 152,000,000 blogs on the Internet

KEYWORDS

Keywords help you look up specific information that you need.

You have to type in exactly what you want or it will give you a whole bunch of information you don’t want at all.

For example if you type in ice cream recipes you could end up with chocolate ice cream recipes instead of vanilla ice cream recipes. If you type in vanilla ice cream you will get vanilla ice cream recipes.

Facts on plagiarism

Plagiarism is a growing problem in schools, colleges, and universities.

Accidental PlagiarismSometimes, plagiarism is obvious. Copying a lab report from another student and buying a research paper over the Internet are clear examples of plagiarism. But plagiarism can also be accidental. http://www.factmonster.com/spot/plagiarism.html Never cut and paste unless you intend to use a direct quotation. It is too easy to forget where and why you’ve used a source, so avoid cutting and pasting unless you are absolutely sure you want to use the quotation word for word. Also immediately make note of the source so that you can cite it in your paper.http://www.enotes.com/how-avoid-plagiarism-how-to/how-

Trolls and Flame Wars

Trolls are people on the internet who try to start fights on the computer or on social websites. They often do this just to make people aggravated. You

should always tell an adult right away.

A troll starts a flame war. It starts as flaming and then starts a flame war. A flame war is a series of name calling on the internet. If this happens the first thing you should do is tell a teacher, parent, or an adult that you trust.

Even when you think what you type on the computer is nice, the way it looks can change what the other people think. For example, if you write in all caps people could think you were yelling. It’s the same way using too many exclamation points. You have to have manners online too. I hope you learned something from this presentation. Please see our link for more information about online manners.

Some websites will ask you for private information. It’s important to stop and get your parents to handle it. We got our information from common sense media.
