TUESDAY: Digital Citizenship

9/22/2015

Today, the Grade 6 students learned the definition of a factor and how to find factors of any number using three different methods. They learned how to factor numbers, use factor rainbows, and factor arrays. They worked on three different sheets in class and will complete them for homework if they didn't complete them in class today.

2.) POST A RESPONSE:

Today's post is identical to yesterday's post a response assignment. Our goal today is to make sure all of you post your response, give someone a positive comment and suggestion for improvement, and edit/revise your original post.
Click here and click on a different issue you didn't read about in class today.
Explain in your own words what the issue is, what your personal opinion is, and your reason for thinking this.
Include the statistics from the pie graph in your response (numbers).
Also give at least one pro and one con for the issue you clicked and read about.
For example, if you choose Native funding, you may want to say something like this: One of the issues I read about on the website was about Native funding. I believe this issue is an important one because many Canadians believe First Nation's people should receive more funding from the government. According to the website, 30% of Canadians believe they should receive more funding and 70% of Canadians do not. In my opinion, I think (INSERT YOUR OPINION HERE) because (INSERT YOUR REASON). One pro to this is........One con to this is.......
Read at least one other student's response and give them a suggestion and a positive comment. For example, if they didn't include the statistics or their reasons, be sure to let them know so they can revise their post.
Edit/Revise your original post. This can be based on your classmate's suggestions.

Dental health coverage- i think dental coverage would be nice! At least for children. If we have coverage for breaking a bone then we should have it for having a chipped tooth or rotten tooth etc...sometimes kids don't take care of there teeth as much as adults would.

Today I looked at the issue marijuana and it is a plant that people smoke as a drug to get high. They also use it to numb their muscles but it can poison your bones. When you start to use to then you can't stop because then you can get sick. Its really bad for your brain and your nerve system. If you use it you might get addicted and can't stop but if you use it properly then it could be good but the question is " should marijuana be legalized for recreational use. 71% said yes and 29% said no. I agree with the 29% who said no because its harmful to your body , although it can be usefull but it can harm you more than it can help you. One pro is that it can help stop pain and one con is that it can damage your brain and your nerve system. That is what I learned on the issue of marijuana.

@Lilmiceter great paragraph! I only found one slight issue with your paragraph is that the conclusion seems to be a bit short, because you have a huge paragraph and then it's like you just said The End. Also don't forget to comment on someone else's!

Today I read about mandatory vaccinations. I don't think that kids should be required to get vaccinations for diseases because if the parents think its not necessary then shouldn't be forced to get or there kid cant go to school or go places, instead the government should give the parents a choice and warn them about what could happen if they didn't. Most people think differently then because on Canada.isidewith.com they take votes and 78% said yes but 21% said no. The pro with this is that nobody will be getting sick and a con is that we have no choice and less freedom.

I decided to look up should the government read e-mails and listen to your phone calls.31% said yes the should be monitored 69% said no I don't want people to see or hear my information.The pros are that they might be able to prevent a few crimes. The cons are there would be much less privacy. I think no unless you have a criminal record.

The article I read about was the bill c-51 and the polls were 34% yes and 66% no.I agree with no because it can lower policemen and women's jobs that was the con.The pro though was it might prevent terrorism. and that is what i think:)

Well I had a great, long paragraph but when I went to submit it my IPad crashed. Great! So looks like I have to re-type it... Today T decided to look at the government surveillance section on the website. The big question is "should the government record phone calls?" I thought that a pro would be that recording phone calls helps solves crimes by playing the conversations the crimilas(s) had.A con is that you won't be able to have a private phone call anymore. I think that they should record phone calls HOWEVER they should only be played if they are trying to try to catch a criminal or something along those lines. Unfortunately, only 31% of people agree with me while 69% of people don't want them to be recorded. Please reply and let me know what you think. I had learned lots about government surveillance and suggest you take a look at it if you haven't already.

Should the government cap tuition rates? That is the issue I read about today. "Cap tuition rates" means that the price of university will stop increasing. 80% of people agreed to have it capped and 18% of people disagreed and said no. 1% of people were in between in decision. I think that the rates should be capped, because when it's our generation's turn to go to university the tuition rate might be too high! One pro is that more people will be able to go to university, but one con is that too many people will go, and there will be waiting lists for courses and programs. Otherwise I think that tuition rates should be capped.

Today I have dicided to look more into goverment survillance. This is a very conversational topic because some people think it takes away our freedom. On the other hand some people think it is necessary to do in order to prevent crimes and terrorist activity. According to the statistics 31% think its OK for the goverment to do so and 69% said no. However the majority of people that put yous put if court orders the goverment to do so. A pro is that they might be able to stop some terrorism before it happens, but the biggest con is our privacy would be taken away, but that raises a question... would we rather have someone potentailly die or a bit of our privacy taken away. For me that will be a no brainer which is to have some privacy taken away. So what do you think what is your opinion, should the goverment be able to monitor our celleuar devices or not?

Should marijuana be allowed to smoke as freely as you want it to?The percentages are 71% said yes 29% no.When a person smokes marijuana the THC passes through the bloodstream and the blood caries it to the brain.Some cons to marijuana are it irritates the lungs and it increases the heart rate.One pro to marijuana is that it calms the patients down.My opinion is that it should be illegal but the hospitals can use it to calm the patients.

6% of people are saying Yes, but I don't agree with how the funds
are currently allocated
2% of people are saying Yes, and the government should give them their land back
2% of people are saying Yes, aboriginals should be further compensated for their hardships and use of resources
30% of people are saying No
6% of people are saying No, instead of monetary funds, we should instead offer assistance in the form of education, training, and social programs
2% of people say No, they should be integrated into Canadian society as citizens
2% of people say No, and we should slowly phase out funding
my opinion is that we should fund it because that's their culture
one pro is that they will be happy and us but one con is that they will be mad for taking their land.

The issue I looked at today is Parole Hearings. 33% of the people said yes to "Should prisoners serving life sentences for first degree murder be eligible for a parole hearing after 15 years?", and 67% said no. 20% said just yes. 65% said just no. 7% said yes, provided a strict psychological evaluation shows that they are no longer a threat to society. 6% said yes, and we should provide more rehabilitation programs for prisoners. 2% said no, and reinstate the death penalty for heinous premeditated crimes. One pro is that the prisoners get a chance to get out of jail, and a con is that if the prisoner is still dangerous, they could attack again. I would say no because of the con that I put above. What do you think? Tell me below if you want.

My issue is environmental regulations. This is when the governnment add rules to factories about the polution and chemical leaks. Should the government increase environmental regulations on businesses in Canada? In other words, their asking if you think they shoud put more rules and ristrictions on factories in Canada. The majority of the voters said yes which is 83%, and the rest 17% of nthe voters said no. In my opinion if I were able to vote I woud vote yes, my reason for this is that the factories all arpund the world has already polluted air enough, why do anymore? One pro is that if they do put more ristrictions on then people will be more aware of the pollution, and it will save s more clean air for the atmosphere. A con would be that there is already so much polution so I'm not entirely sure that it would make a big difference.

I will be coming to school tomorrow now for my topic.

Today while I was at home sitting on my couch being sick I started to read about marijuana. The first thing I learned was that marijuana was a plant. Should people to be able to smoke marijuana freely I checked a poll online that showed 71% yes and 29% no. Research shows that marijuana has the potential to cause problems in daily life. A study of 129 college students found that, among those who smoked the drug at least twenty-seven of the thirty days before being surveyed, critical skills related to attention, memory and learning were seriously Declined. A study of postal workers found that employees who tested positive for marijuana had 55% more accidents, 85% more injuries and a 75% increase in being absent from work.

Pros of marijuana
One of the pros of marijuana is for medicinal use (cancer or other medical diseases)
(my mom who works in the hospital is my source)

Issues with marijuana
It is addictive and you can have sleeping difficulties, aggressive behavior as well as restlessness and irritability.
Marijuana also causes health issues, affects brain function and memory and destroys healthy cells in our bodies.

Overall my personal option is marijuana is only good if you have a medical condition that affects your health so if you don't have a medical condition don't use it.

Should government increase environmental regulations on businesses in Canada? 83% of Canadians say yes, 17% of Canadians say no. I say yes because businesses need to stop littering in the ocean, allowing oil spills to happen and green spaces need to be left alone instead of being replaced by townhouses with tiny driveways. I want to prevent big oil spills like the Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989 when the ship got grounded.
A pro is that many animals and trees will be safe from man-made buildings and other structures and a con is that the businesses will have less land to use to build on.

The issue that I read about was marijuana and I think this is very important because some people want to use it for medical uses and others just want it for no reason at all. I think that it shouldn't be legalized but it should only be given to those who need it for medical issues. I think that if it was legalized many people would get it even if they didn't have medical problems but also people who are medically ill could also get access to it. But I think it's better if marijuana was not legalized but only given to people who need it because it would be a safer community.

My topic is about prescription drugs.

81% said yes.

5% said yes but only when a high cost threshold is exceeded.

5% said yes but only for low income families.

5% said yes and 5% said no, Regardless, enact regulations to cap the price of drugs.

3% said yes, cover overall prescription cost but have the patient pay the pharmacy dispensing cost.

12% said no.

2% said, we cannot afford to add this at the moment.
I think the pros are now some families have not that much to pay for the prescription drugs. Now for the cons still the cost for the drugs may still go up and up which you may pay more and more and more if you don't have much money

that's my cons and pros.

my topic is government surveillance. 31% of people want the government to monitor and 69% don't want the government to monitor are phones and email.

12% of people said yes

15% of people said yes, but only by court order

3% of people said yes, but only for people who criminal backgrounds

2% of people said yes, this is necessary to combat terrorism

64% of people said no

4% of people said no, and enact legislation preventing government surveillance of citizen communication

for me I think my pros should be that the government should not monitor are phones and emails. My con is that the government should only monitor if they have a criminal record

I picked the question: Should marijuana be legalized for recreational use? and these are my thoughts on it...

I don’t think it should be legalized, I think it should only be used for medical reasons. Why? I think this because this drug can be dangerous and there is no reason for you to have it unless it is for medical purposes. Some pros and cons to this are… Pro: It helps relieve someone of pain by getting them high. Con: If it is legalized then anyone can buy it even if they don't have a medical condition and I don't think that is right. I think that you should only use it for medical reasons because it can be dangerous so you don't want someone who does not need it and who is not going to use it for a proper reason (like something medical) to have it because there is no need for them to have it. I think this because, it can be dangerous and become addicting so you don’t want it falling into the wrong hands. So I agree with the 29% of people who said it should not be legalized and I am disagreeing with the 71% of people who said it should be legalized. Now you now my thoughts on this topic and I hope it has got you thinking!

From Wednesday because I was sick the last two days.
