With our dependence on computers, this chapter provides significant information! As a teacher, I may have to depend on a computer for my lessons, and it's important to know how to keep my computer safe so that I don't come across a virus that could shut my computer down. The chapter provided valuable information about detecting and removing viruses and the steps that can be taken to protect your computer from the intrusion of a virus. I hadn't really realized how many things can go wrong with your computer, and that no matter how many precautions that are taken, a virus can still make its way in. This chapter is really useful, however, and I will be sure to put its advice into action in protecting my computer in every way that I can.
Chapter eight was extremely helpful for my personal usage. I never know how to avoid or decrease chances of viruses on my computer. I only know one software installation to get to try to prevent it which is Norton. So being myself and inexperienced with technology and how to protect your computer, this chapter provided a lot of useful information. It shows how viruses spread, what is a virus, safety tips on using computers and what you use your computer for and how to prevent viruses from popping up on your computer. As we go into a generation based all around technology this chapter can provide instruction and tips on how to protect your computer. The end of the chapter even provides files and demonstrations on what to click and not to click on when certain things pop up. This was the most helpful for me because i have experienced many of those pop ups on my own computer. I need to become more of an expert when it comes to protecting my computer since I use it on the daily.
In chapter 8, I have gotten a variety of useful information that would help me in the future when it comes with dealing with the safety of your computer. I really don't know many devices to help keep my computer safe or even who to ask how to keep my computer safe. Viruses can come at anytime and you never know how to destroy it before it destroys everything on your computer. There were many safety advice on how to keep your computer protected. It provided information that was useful and valuable for wiping out viruses. Also, there were tips on how to remove viruses. There was files given to show how to use and not to use when you see certain pop ups that might not be safe. The whole chapter was very useful in many ways. People use computers every day and it is important to know how to handle certain situations that might help save your computer.
with our society's dependance on technology it is important for us as a whole to realize the risks that can come along with it. Especially us, as future teachers we need to be aware of the problems that can come with technology and I think the book does a good job of showing us our potential future problems. The ones that really stood out to me were computer viruses, unauthorized access and use, theft, vandalism, system failure, etc. Although I have heard of most of these terms and understand the gist of them, I haven't thought about them in my classroom. All of these issues would case a major set back in the classroom and as teachers we must always have a plan B. Technology isn't always going to work quite the way we want it to, and that is definitely something to be mindful about. I enjoyed reading this chapter because it somewhat opened my eyes to all of the risks that will come along with technology.
Chapter eight was very eye opening to me because I knew computers were capable of getting viruses I just did not know how likely/ often. It showed me how viruses are really sneaky, they come in many different forms and can sometimes be hard to detect. I'm not sure of any programs to instal to help block and avoid viruses but my dad has always put virus blockers on our computers so I have never had to deal with a virus. I like the safety tips they gave to help keep your computer virus free. I think a lot of people are not as aware of viruses as they should be and with our society being very dependent on technology more people especially teachers need to learn how to avoid them or to get rid of them in order to properly run a classroom.
Chapter 8 was very relevant to myself personally and to society as whole. Using technology is not always my forte, especially when it comes to understanding all the little technical details about software, and especially viruses. I hear all the time that it is so easy to get a virus on your computer by downloading things from the internet and not knowing where they come from necessarily. I think this chapter was very helpful for my present and future use as an educator. I feel like I am downloading things all the time and reading and accepting things on my computer without even reading the details or knowing what I am putting on my computer. I think this chapter was super helpful for me to be more aware of how viruses can get onto your computer and how to stop viruses from getting onto your computer. This knowledge has become so important since coming to college and owning my own laptop. I feel like all my classes revolve around something involving my laptop and I don't know what I would do if it stopped working. I have already had some problems with my computer being slow or something not cooperating and had to give it to a friend to fix because I do not know how to diagnose let alone fix the problem. I think this information is so important when I have my own classroom. Technology is so relevant in the classroom and if something doesn't work properly due to a virus on the computer, then the whole content for that day could be affected. This is very important for teachers to know.
In chapter 8, it dealt with computer safety and how we can better ensure ourselves of avoiding possible virus's and other various attacks on our computers. I have been on the receiving end of a virus before and it is not pretty due to attempting to stream movies and TV shows on the internet. Nothing is worse on a computer than getting a virus that continuously fills your screen with pop-ups and slows down your computer process immensely to a point where you cannot get anything done. Installing a virus protector onto your computer is so very important especially as a teacher. As the classroom is becoming more technological, teachers will begin to save all lesson plan files, homework assignments among other things on the computer. If an educator's computer gets a virus, it could lead to a loss of a full school day worth of lessons or worse. In order for this to be avoided, teachers must be extremely careful of the sites they view and read what they are agreeing to by visiting or downloading a website.
Chapter 8 was actually very useful. I have had many problems with viruses over the years, my last laptop completely crashed due to a virus, which was very inconvenient. This chapter was helpful in the fact that it could help me to prevent an issue from occurring again. Because we are going to be teachers in such a technologically advanced society it will be a necessity to know how to prevent a virus from occurring on our computers. It would be really bad if a virus were to mess up one of our online lessons or prevent us teaching in the most effective way possible.
Towards the end of chapter 8 the book began talking about different government actions taken to ensure child safety on the Internet. This is mainly referring to pornographic material and other things of that nature. Also, the author refers to the new trend of cyber bullying towards both students and teachers. When it comes to both of these topics I think it is critical to be aware as a teacher of the potential for any occurrence of either inappropriate material or bullying. However, I do not think it is the direct responsibility of us as teachers. It is the job of the school district to ensure that the accessible Internet on school property has sufficient software in place to prevent anything not in accordance to school conduct. If I had to be concerned with controlling what my students saw on the Internet at school I would seldom get anything accomplished, as it would be a constant battle. As far as bulling goes, I think we are creating a generation that will always expect someone to clean up their problems and make life as easy as possible for them. That simply isn't how life works. I would never go as far as to say that bulling is a good thing, however it has been around forever and people have the choice to overcome it and grow as a person, or to do nothing. I had my fair share of bullies growing up and each one taught me a valuable life lesson about how to improve my current situation, and I think I am a better person because of it. If a student came to me with a bulling problem I think encouragement and some advice would better help them then simply solving the problem for them. Our job is to encourage kids to become the best that they can possibly be, not hold their hand and tell them to take the easy way out.
Chapter 8 discusses the problems attached to using computers and online options such as how viruses can infect your computer without you noticing. This is why you must take the necessary steps to keeping your computer safe. Installing an antivirus is vital to keep your technology running smoothly, and with increased reliance on computers in the classroom that's a priority. Everyday assignments are turned in online as well as visual aids requiring internet or computer use are used in lecture, if a virus shut your computer down the whole class would be set back. I have encountered viruses before and they make it extremely difficult to accomplish any tasks. This chapter is very relevant to utilizing technology to the best of its ability in the classroom.
One of the most useful things chapter 8 said was about how to combat viruses. I have had my computer for a long time and always refuse to enter any sites that aren't "mainstream" sites. Especially when downloading material, I make sure i do it from a site that is well known site. Viruses are annoying to deal with so i take every precaution i can to avoid them. At the end of the chapter it talks about how to make sure your child can stay safe on the internet. Mostly dealing with porn/bullying material. This is a great thing to teach and know because I can help take these precautions for my students/kids.
Chapter 8 is something relates to everyone. Our whole society is completely technology dependent, but what do you do when your technology has come down with a virus? This chapter taught me a lot about what I thought I knew about computers and viruses. I never realized how easy it was to get a virus. I have very little understanding of technology and all of the little things that make it up. Whenever I get a virus, I take my computer right to my dad and have him help me. This chapter has made me much more aware of what I’m actually downloading to my computer. I tend to just hit the accept button without reading about what I’m actually agreeing to. It crazy to think about how a virus could affect me as an educator. If I were to get a virus on a school computer, then you risk the possibility of it spreading to other school programs, then it could erase lesson plan and other information you may have saved on your school computer. I feel that this is a very important chapter to have read.
Chapter 8 was really relevant to me in the fact that I am not so good with the technology stuff and I have had two computers (one was my family's desktop) get viruses and crash! It was a huge bummer and was super costly. I remember I used to use Norton Anti-Virus stuff and I never actually knew what I was doing to protect my computer, or if it was even protected at all. I am a person who never reads the agreement disclosure when I accept or download things. (Those things are so long who has time for that??) Since I don't take the time to read them I try to only download from sites that I know or sites that look trustworthy. When I am teaching and have my own class I need to be careful what I put on my computer because I don't want my files to get messed up or ruined and I don't want my students personal information or grades to be compromised. This class, and the book, talks a lot about how technology is so great and how it can be a great tool for educators so I like that they took the time to add in a chapter about the risks/problems of technology (like viruses). So all in all I really enjoyed this chapter!
Chapter 8 is a chapter that could be useful in my daily life. It spoke on how to combat viruses and how to prevent them in the future. I’ve had viruses and had no idea how I got them, so this chapter really clarified a lot for me. I think it’s really important for a teacher to at LEAST know how to work your computer whether that is at home or at the school. Knowing how to protect your computer from viruses is an important thing. If your computer doesn’t work, then there is no way to get information out to your students.
I thought chapter 8 was informative on the problems of viruses and how to prevent them. I have never had to deal with any viruses, possibly because I have a mac, so I learned a lot from reading this chapter. Most schools use PC’s which are prone to viruses if you do not take appropriate action. Antivirus is definitely an important purchase to protect your work computer. Viruses can destroy saved work, which can really put you behind. I think its also important to save your files onto a backup drive or cloud to save you from having any issues. It is also important to be aware of what you are downloading. On my mac, I have a notification that warns me if something is unsafe to download.
I am not much of a tech person, but I am on my laptop a lot. I was able to relate to this reading due to the fact that it spoke about viruses when in fact, I have had many viruses on my computer. It all started when I was looking up full time movies to watch on my laptop because I did not have Netflix yet. I did not think anything would happen until I started getting a lot of pop-up blockers and my wifi would not connect anymore no matter where I was. I had to take my laptop to the TechDepot to fix it and save myself some money on an anti-virus software. If you do not get a virus fixed, it could eventually eat away your database and ruin the device that it is on. I own a Mac, and those are not cheap to replace whatsoever.
I was very intrigued after reading chapter 8; it makes receiving a virus seem easier than ever before. I also had no idea how many types of viruses existed; I guess I realized some had different purposes, but there certainly is a wide variety! This just furthers the point that it is more important than ever to have a good antivirus software. This definitely lets you know to backup any important files you have as well, as they could be gone in the blink of an eye. I also found it interesting on how the virus has evolved, as I had to look up the "Your PC is alive" reference. Some viruses seem so odd or silly compared to the giant threat that they could provide.
Chapter 8 had some very interesting points. Viruses are not as much of a problem as they used to be when I was growing up discovering technology. I have had viruses before and I was not sure how to approach them. More viruses exist now too. Now i do daily backups for andy electronic device I depend on. Hackers that create viruses are also a problem, as more people know technology and can negatively affect it. I now feel more prepared in the situation that I deal with a virus.
With our dependence on computers, this chapter provides significant information! As a teacher, I may have to depend on a computer for my lessons, and it's important to know how to keep my computer safe so that I don't come across a virus that could shut my computer down.
