Blog Post: 12 My Blog Posting Experience

My blogging experience was very interesting and very enjoyable! It gave me an outlet to speak about anything that was going on in the world. One of the biggest things that I learned from blogging is that you have to really vet your news sources and make sure that they are credible. If the news you report isn't credible then it becomes a problem as its an issue for yourself as a blogger and the person reading it as they are reading news that isn't true. With this not being my first time using blogger I was better able to understand how to format my blogs that way it would be easier for the reader to follow the story and understand what was going on.  I think I will continue to blog after this class has ended as I find its a great tool to use in many different things going on in my life.

Blog Post: 11 Class Presentations

One of the things I learned from the presentations today was a whistleblower topic. I found it extremely interesting and that it was The definition of a whistleblower is a person who informs on a person or organization engaged in an illicit activity. They expose some type any kind of information or activity that is deemed illegal, or immoral within an organization that is either private or public. There are plenty of examples of whistle blowers but one of the more well known ones is Edward Snowden. He revealed that the NSA was spying on American citizens. Many of Snowden's revelations changed how people view there online privacy and it created a deep sense of urgency to fix the issue and distrust of the people from the government.
