YouTube is a fun site where you can find tutorials for a variety of subjects. With anything, you have to be careful and use common sense. If you come across something that is inappropriate, don't watch it and don't share it with others. Here's an example of a video I found interesting. It's about 3 minutes long. You'll need a pencil and piece of paper. Check it out and try your hand at drawing. When you're finished - write your thoughts about your experience on my blog. Have fun.
Bring your drawing to school for proof you completed the assignment. Be sure to write your name and hour on the drawing.

Now go to the following link and listen to this news report http://www.ketknbc.com/news/should-a-facebook-post-be-grounds-for-firing
Recent Situation at a local company: In a company when someone is hired or gets a promotion it's normal policy that the manager and Human Resource Department notify all parties involved before general employees are notified. This is considered "common courtesy" and helps managers provide a smooth transition. For example: what if you-the student, found out your teacher was being replaced ... and your teacher knew nothing of this. Recently, something similar happen at a local company. Within the last month the "ABC company" interviewed a candidate for a Site Engineering Managers position at their headquarters in North Carolina. The candidate was excited about being hired and posted the name of the company and title he was hired for, on his online resume. Someone from the "ABC Company" noticed the resume . . . the man being replaced had not been notified, none of the engineers in the group were aware of this either. This posting put the company in a very awkward position.
Based on what you just read and listened to, come up with 5 personal rules you would follow when posting things online. Be specific and key your first and last name at the end. Due today, Monday, Jan. 3.
