Responses:
I use Skype to talk while playing video games, and also to work on a project from home with group members at their homes. Another program that can be used is TeamSpeak, which I also use when gaming. TeamSpeak allows for people to be in a large call, and then separate into channels or teams. You also have the ability to lock these with password protection, to keep players from the other team hearing what you say. This process works kind of like a Walkie-Talkie, but can be better protected.
We are taught to use only creative commons work and content, and to site our sources. During the project we must give credit to those whose content we use. They have taught me how to be safe on the internet and how to know when to give away certain amounts of information. I have also learned to give credit to people whose content I use, even when the content is found in creative commons.
As well as using others work, I have learned how to connect with people safely. I can connect with people and know that they expect me to respond as soon as I can. I will be able to use the tools I have learned about in future jobs or school projects. Not only have I learned of these tools, but how to use them more effectively.
I will respect others and understand their expectations of my immediate response, and do my best to meet those expectations. I will also accept that others may not always be able to respond immediately and I will respect them and be patient with them.
