Flat Classroom

2 Paragraphs on your reactions/reflections to the content. What did you learn? What surprised you? What did you agree/disagree with?

Through out the World is Flat project I have learned a lot.  Starting with the imported goods map we did. I learned that we, the USA, rely on importing foreign goods to survive. From there we learned in Digital Communications the 10 flatteners; Collapse of the Berlin Wall, Netscape, Workflow Software, Uploading, Outsourcing, Offshoring, Supply-chaining, Insourcing, Informing, and “The Steroids.” These 10 flatteners helped me understand Thomas Friedman’s case on the world is flat, which is that we are creating value horizontally, which I had never heard of. I can’t say that I agree or disagree with creating value horizontally because I don’t understand how value was created horizontally.

I’ve learned a lot through the World is Flat project. One of the things I’ve learned is the 3 Globalizations, Globalization 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0. Each Globalization shrank the world 1 size smaller. Which I agree with because of the things that have been created has shrunk with each upgrade. Another thing I learned is that Netscape started is all on August 8^th, 1995. Netscape had started the “.com” world. The third thing I learned is that the Internet has changed our lives more then a politician. Which I think is completely true.

1 Paragraph about how you are feeling about the Flat Classroom Project: concerns, worries, questions, what are you excited about etc.

                I have a few concerns about the Flat Classroom Project. The main concern is that I won’t remember any of this by the time I graduate from college. I feel that this will lead to something important in the future, but in the mean time, I think this isn’t important. I still enjoy the class, but I’m getting a little bored talking about the same stuff over and over again.

Digital Citizenship

Digital citizenship is one of the few words that people hear about in the world. Well, in my eyes, I think digital citizenship means to be smart, responsible, and thoughtful with what you are saying to your digital media community. Because you never know what will happen if someone takes something you said wrong.
I think they should be more respectful to other students and not criticize anyone or anything. Secondly, I think they should have the freedom to say whatever they want, as long as it won’t offend anybody or anything. Also, students shouldn’t post any inappropriate or harmful pictures or videos that could potentially ruin someone’s reputation. Lastly, students should think about what people consider them to be, because that might change how people act around you.
My personal online profile on Facebook and Twitter are pretty clean. I might on occasion say something that someone doesn’t like, mostly my parents. My parents keep a close eye on everything I write on Facebook and or Twitter because they don’t want anything I say to come back and haunt me. My friends on the other hand, well they swear everywhere, they pick fights with other friends, and they say hurtful stuff to people.Collapse this post
