Cyber bullying is when you bully people over the internet.

Article link:http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,315684,00.html

Article title:MySpace Mom Linked to Missouri Teen's Suicide Being Cyber-Bullied Herself

My article summary

A girl named Megan stopped being friends with some one. Then the friends mom made a blog post called “Megan had it coming” which had a lot of hurtful things . Megan read it and hung herself
Why would a mother want to do that even thought she made her daughter mad
Nothing happened to the bully because there were no laws against it at the time. The victim killed herself
Megan should not have read the article
This is not something I have ever been through so it doesn’t apply.

Staying civil online

5 rules for Internet etiquette are

Follow a acceptable use policy if one is set

Don't send junk mail

Use appropriate language on line

Act the same way you would in public as if on the internet

Don't go around security

7 rules for proper Netiquette

Behave as though you are communicating in person: When communicating with someone online, act as if you are talking to that person face to face.

Remember that your words are open to interpretation: Someone can get offended by your words if you dont use them carfully

Do not "shout" online: typing in all caps is considered shouting and is also rude

Do not "flame" other users: dont post insults or other derogatory content

Dont send spam: No junk mail

Do not distribute copyrighted material: do not post anything without the owners permisson

Do not be a coward: never conceal your identity online by hideing behind a user name it doesnt meen you can say anything

I think netiquette is important because people should behave online. It doesnt give you the right to be a jerk.

An acceptable use policys are rules that explain what the regulations are for a business or public place. An acceptable use policy is used at glenvar with the students who get laptops and for the code of conduct. 5 rules for glenvar are:

All provisions of the RCPS Acceptable Use Policy must be observed by students using mobile computers both in and outside of school.

ONLY authorized educational programs installed by RCPS staff may be used on Roanoke County mobile computers assigned to students.

Students shall not download, install or play games, music or video unless directly related to classroom instruction.

E-mail and Instant Messaging are prohibited in school unless under the direct supervision of a teacher and for a classroom instruction purpose.

Students shall not use any alternative operating system on any RCPS computer.
At a job A.U.Ps could be used to make sure that workers do not go to any websites that would waste thier time. If i were a boss at a big company where my workers had there own computers i would set rules. The rules would be i can see what you are doing at all times. No websites not business related unless approved by me. Also no personal email at work only business email

A HTML is a hyper text markup language. A tag is the HTML code you use for your html an example would be then the words you want then . Open tags are ones that do not end on the page closed tags are the ones that do close. To create an HTML page heres what you do. First you open up the notes page not microsoft word. Then you put in < html >< title > what ever you want for your head of page < body >. Then at the bottom you put and . Then you put in whatever codes you want. Web sites that will give you good codes: www.web-source.net/html_codes_chart.htm http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/quicklist.html http://www.quackit.com/html/codes/
HTML is pretty easy to get but can be challenging if you have the wrong codes. When i started i knew nothing about HTMl. Now i know alot more about how they work and the codes to use to get the stuff to work.I dont know if i will need this in the future but if i do at least i know how to use it.
