Chapter 8 involves security issues, ethics, and emerging technologies in education. A computer security risk is any event or action that has the potential of causing a loss of computer equipment, software, data and information, or porcessing capability. A computer crime is any illegal act involving a computer. A main threat is a computer virus. A virus is a potentially damaging computer program designed to affect your computer negatively without your knowledge or permission by altering the way it works. Computer viruses do not generate by chance and creators of virus programs write them for a specific purpose. Due to the infusion of informational technologies and the World Wide Web, teachers no longer are bound by the four walls of teaditional classrooms and the two covers of traditional textbooks. Another thing that is helping teachers is the digital media revolution which is just beginning and is being fueled by the nees and desires of today's digital students.
As for skills I have acuqired, the more recent thing we have done is the WIKI project or wikispaces. I have only breifly looked at the web page and I am still trying to get familiar with is. It looks like it would be a good tool to use in the future.
I don't really have anything else to say except it's almost Thanksgiving Break!
