The idea for the Internet was born from the launch of the Russian
Sputnik satellite in 1957. The US government was worried that the then
Soviet Union possessed superior technological capability and could
potentially strike the US with a nuclear missile. So it began to prepare
for the consequence. The Internet essentially began as way to
communicate if part of the country was destroyed.
In
1969 the technology was advanced enough to begin testing it at
universities and the first successful test was completed between the
UCLA and Stamford campuses in California.
It wasn't until around 1991 that the Internet was introduced for individual and commercial purposes.
Today
we see more an more users clustered around the same sites. Facebook,
Google, Apple and Amazon collectively consume most of our attention and
that's sad because there is so much more to it.
For this post I want you to visit this site: https://www.reddit.com/r/InternetIsBeautiful/ or https://www.reddit.com/r/coolguides/ and
as part of our exploration of Digital Literacy, find a link to something that you think would help
you learn in one of your classes or help you be a better student in general. Explore the link and
write a brief description of how you think it will benefit you and your
classmates. Please also copy and paste a link to the source in your comment.
Example: I found a map that might help me learn Geography and Social Studies. https://worldmap.harvard.edu/maps/5565.
This map helps me identify ancient civilizations in a more precise way
than the maps in our book. You can also overlay other options on the
map by checking the boxes on the left hand sidebar.
I found this attachment on cyber bullying. This is important because I believe that it's wrong and it's not correct to treat people with no respect. This also creates lots of violence, drama, and hatred between people. That's why it's important that students know that cyberbullying is a thing and they shouldn't do it.
