This blog is home of the 21st century scholars course at East Knox High School. Those who visit must interact , debate, and discuss events that are important to our lives.
I just read that article and it took me by great surprise. I personally have facebook, and I never took notice that I accepted that and allowed facebok to do that. As soon as I read that I went and fixed it. It is little writing in fine print that people lack to take notice to and I was one of them. It is not protecting my privacy, and I wish more people knew about this article so they could be more aware. With facebook being so popular it is no surprise that this had been kept more so on the quiet side.
Well I personally do not have a facebook or a myspace because of this reason.They didn't really need to say it even though they most likely did and put it in the terms and conditions that you had to except at the beginning.I mean, if you really think about it, they have to make money somehow, and how.....BY SELLING YOUR INFORMATION! You really need to be careful with about everything you do now.
All students taking any type of flex-credit course must participate in the Current Events Blog. You are expected to discuss the articles and videos as well as comment or debate with other students. You must comment at a minimum of twice a week and correct grammar and spelling is expected. The blog will be updated Sunday nights or early Monday mornings. Depending on the discussions I may add additional articles later in the week. I will try to include current events that are important and relevant to your lives. If you find an article or video you would like me to post on the blog please email me at rgallwitz@gmail.com with the link.
