Here are the definitions and some clues to help you understand:
-Reputation: A general impression held by others and the public. For example, if you are always happy, nice, and all around joyful, that is what people will remember about you. It is also how they perceive you. Sometimes your reputation is effected by how you look, how you dress, and of course you attitude. It can also change how people treat you. Maybe you are usually happy, then one day you are very quiet, keep to yourself, and seem spacey. Someone is going to ask if something is wrong, because you have a reputation of being joyful.
-Persist: To continue and endure. An example could be a reputation. If you have had the same reputation for five years, the your reputation has persisted.
-Context: Different factors that surround information that help determine it meaning. This is where things can get tricky. Sometimes things can be taken out of context. Which means, you think it means something, when it means something completely different. That is why you have to be careful what, when, and where you say something. Someone may take it out of context and things could escalate quickly.
-Tag: Words or terms that describe a photo or video. Could also be called a caption. Facebook has completely changed what people think is the meaning of tag. Most people think that it means to "tag" a friend it a photo or video. When it really means the words people use to describe said photo.
A way to help us understand the meaning of these words, we used some photo editing websites. These are good for making things such as Christmas cards, or something just to make people laugh and have a good time. Even though they sound like they are completely, all around good, some people use them for not to good things.
These are some pictures that I made using a photo editing website. (I got the original photo from here.) I edited this photo at this website. This is an example of how people can use photo editing tools to make someone looks good, or bad.
The photo on the top appears to be nothing more than an old man (We shall call him Bob, he needs a name.) on a Christmas card. Someone got a hold of the original photo of Bob, and made to photo on the bottom. Some people might see that as just a fan of Batman putting Bob in the picture. It could also be taken offensive by Bob or friends of his. It is all about the context.
That is just one example of how people use photo editing to make a bad reputation for someone.
To learn more about how we should act online or in any digital world, we used Digital Drivers License. It is where you take a series of quiz like cases to see what you already know. The videos either ask questions or teach you something new. We learned about how sending texts over and over to someone it not good digital etiquette.
Also, we learned, from all of these experiences, how to act while you are in the digital world. I found that the most important thing is to be respectful. That way you would not offend anyone. I learned that you should also be ethical, instead of just saying anything because you can.
All in all, this week has been good. I was not to overly confused, or frustrated. I actually enjoyed the activities we did.
This is the original photo of Bob.
