Ghostery is a browser tool available for Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, Internet Explorer, as well as a standalone app available for iOS. It scans the page for trackers - scripts, pixels, and other elements - and notifies you of the companies whose code is present on the webpage you are visiting. These trackers often aren't otherwise visible and are often not detailed in the page source code. Ghostery allows you to learn more about these companies and their practices, and block the page elements from loading if the user chooses. This app didnt really show me much on my computer.. I actually had alot of trouble with it. But overall i think the app is and or could be something that will help tremendously to keep your privacy..

inste.nets.t Final project
Intro Video demonstrates #1. I feel that making an intro video helps show yourself. It helps them get to know who the students are out of their own mouths. It shows what part of them they want you to see, which goes self esteem..I would use this in a classroom because it would show what the kids really are interested in . When people talk about themselves they usually tell you something that they love or is in their hearts. This way kids can express what is important to them from the beginning.
Ghostery Represents #4. Ghostery showed thing on the Internet that were tracking you. I don't know if i would use this as a way to teach my kids in class. Number 4 is teaching safe, legal, and ethical use of information and technology. So with that being said i would not use ghostery with my children because it really is not teaching them much in my eyes. I do feel thta there would be better tools to teach about information and technology. Ghostery may only be a good tool for me as a Teacher.
The face book exercise demonstrates #3. Number three is said to influence knowledge to new technology and situations.It is also said to collaborate with students, peers, parents and community using digital tools. I think this would be a good exercise because i don't know many people without face book and people keep in touch with each other threw this. I also feel that it may not be a good tool for younger kids because elementary children are not old enough to use this but many lie about their age in order to get on fb anyway.
The concept map demonstrates #5. It exhibits leadership and demonstrates a vision of current research. I would use this in my classroom to teach my kids about something and go into detail where they will understand better. It would help me as a teacher go into the things i need to talk about. Kids would be more interesting because the detailing would help them in many ways. Yes i would use this tool in my classroom.
The Voki exercise was really fun. It represented #3. This exercise we used it to voice our opinions about something USM does that we do not like or we feel needs to be improved. I would use this in class to improve my teaching or what i need to do to help them learn. We can learn alot from students and their ways of learning if we just listened. This would be a great way to get that from them.
The web page is an example of #5. I think this is a great way to show parents and or employers who we are as well as our history as teachers. It gives them an understanding on where you have been and how much you love what you do. I would use this in order for my parents to get to know me as an educator of their children. I think this would be a little to in depth for my students but i would use photos only for them.
The xtranormal activity was an example of #1 and 2. It helps kids to explore real-world issues. and solve authentic problems. as well as personalize activities that address students diverse situations. I would use this in my classroom to capture the attention of my students and to also get their attention in a different way. It would help in so many ways to teach them Right from wrong and what to look for in different situations.
The Movie maker activity represents #2. It uses experience that Incorporated digital looks. This activity was kinda fun. It helped people get a sense of where you come from and where you are wanting to go. I don't know if i would use this on my younger children but i would with older kids like Jr high or high school students . It helps show what they love as well as family times . Maybe even show the bad and good things that have gone on in their lives. it would help and I may use it a time or two according to the situation.
