Science app review

karinab2016
  1. My problem is that when I’m at home I need to search up a periodic table and the ones online are always fuzzy or too small when I zoom in.
  2. So I need an app that can help me find what I need fast and easy. And also to give me proper information Also an app that has all of the nessisary uses of a periodic table that helps me zoom into to the atom and gives me all the needed information, and maybe some extra pointers.
  3. The app that I chose is K12 Periodic Table of Element
  4. /5. I went through my app and it looks like a pretty self explanatory app with good features but I wish it could do a bit more. It tells me which group it belongs to, ex. Alkali metals, alkaline earth metals etc. It also gives me the group and period numbers.it also tells me whether the atom is a solid, gas, liquid or not found in nature. And what the boiling and melting points are. And lastly it shows me what the Lewis structure looks like and how many electrons are in the outer most orbital. But it doesn’t show me what the ionic charge is.

Evaluation:

  1. This app helps build skills and learn content because it tells you exactly how to read a periodic table and it helps you understand how it’s laid out and it helps learn content by labelling everything and making it so you can memorize things easily.
  2. This app is super self explanatory and it also gives directions right when you open the app and it has a help button in the right corner which is great if you need some help.
  3. This app overall is very useful. The best thing about the app is that it doesn’t just give you extra information about the periodic table but it also gives you lots of extra information on the elements. Ex. It gives you the radius and the ionic radius. Which I think is super cool.

My Digital Footprint

Understanding my digital footprint 

How might your digital footprint affect your future opportunities?

image

My digital footprint can affect my future greatly. One of the biggest future opportunities that could be affected is my job/career. When I go into a profession, whatever that may be my boss or employer will if not always then 95% of the time Google search me. That’s the easiest thing to do, to find out if you are the right one for the job. And if some thing that is not appropriate or respectful comes up, chances are I wont be getting the job. Another thing that can be affected is friends and family. If one of my friends or a family member finds something online that shouldn’t be online they could stop talking to me and ignore me or worse tell others to end relationships with me.

Describe at least three strategies that you can use to keep your digital footprint appropriate and safe.

imageimage

Some things you can do to keep your digital portfolio safe and appropriate are:

  • ‘think about what you post before you post it.
  • Think if you could show your teacher ot you grandparents what you posted, and if you can’t maybe it’s not such a good idea after all.
  • Don’t post personal information.
  • If not read then briefly read over terms and conditions for any app you download.
  • try and keep your accounts private
  • don’t add people you do not know to any account.

What other information did you learn that you would pass on to other students? How would you go about telling them?

image

I would just pass on to other students that be careful and well aware of the dangers of social media and your digital footprint. People can find out a lot of unessisary details about you, and example would be filling out the sign up to some website putting your address or number can be optional so you do not have to fill that out. I would first start by telling them to google themselves. People would probably very surprised as to what comes up. Some pictures that you haven’t put up there personally or all your account information or something else. When I searched up my name I was surprised to see my taekwondo sparring and pattern compitition scores. Nothing bad, but I thought that was interesting.
