Some of the most important things I learned was safety, and the proper way to operate machines and tools, not only to keep myself safe, but to also prevent the machine from being damaged. I also learned very useful skills such as welding, with both oxy-acetylene, and mig welding. I also learned different strategies on how to do projects, by getting help from others.
Some of my preferred strategies for maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle include playing sports year round, eating healthier, and working out on the days that I have nothing. Some of the things I do to stay mentally and physically healthy include taking breaks when I need them so I don’t burn myself out, and I try to work on my assignments over a few days rather than one night. When I am sad, angry or frustrated, doing things that I have fun doing help me be more productive or calm. This is because these things get my mind off of my work and let me reset. When I need to boost my mood or re-focus I have something to eat so that I have some energy in me and that usually is what I need.

I appreciate feedback on what I could work on and prefer it comes in the form of constructive criticism rather than trying to tell me that what I am doing is wrong and not helping me do it the right way. When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I step back from my work, and re assess what I am working on. And I think about what is a better way to deal with the task at hand. I respectfully advocate for my needs by asking my classmates for help, and if that does not help then I ask the peer tutor or teacher. To celebrate an accomplishment such as completing a certain amount of work, I take a break from my work and watching tv. Sometimes I will even end my work for the day if I feel I did enough.
I chose this image because a lock represents being secure and it is on a laptop which shows being secure or safe on the internet and on your devices.
What is your digital footprint?
Your digital footprint is what you leave behind after each search, post, and view that you do. Your digital footprint is used for everything from personalizing advertisements to employers using it to see what type of person you are outside of the workplace. The digital footprint that you leave behind can never be deleted and just magically go away because someone can screenshot it and send it to someone, but also all your information is stored on a server and can be recovered fer a certain amount of time.
What does it mean to stay safe on the internet?
Staying safe on the internet includes deleting old accounts, not over posting, and not posting personal information. Deleting old accounts keeps you safe because by not deleting your old accounts you are leaving it for everyone to easily see. By not over posting you reduce the risk of accidentally posting something you may regret or not mean to post. Not posting personal information is important because it is personal for a reason.
What are steps you can take to be safer online?
Some ways to control your digital footprint is to make accounts private, and all social media platforms allow this and there are many YouTube tutorials on how to do this. Make your accounts only visible to certain people, and search up your name occasionally, to see what shows when someone does search your name.
What to do if there is something that concerns you?
If there is something that concerns, you about your social media you should delete the post. If someone else is falsely posting about you, Google has an option for you to report the person and have their whole account or website removed without their discretion. You can also confront the person in their DM’s or in the comments section if you have the confidence to. If someone is attacking you online block them and if it is up to a certain level, you can contact the authorities if that is what you want.
Personal/Social Core Competency Self Assessment
I know my digital footprint can have both positive and negative consequences including account bans so I adjust my actions to make a positive footprint by not posting as much, and only posting what is necessary and gives a positive attitude.
I make digital ethical choices such as not posting certain things, and reporting content in order to make my online areas safer and more positive for myself and others who want the same.
Some short/ long term goals with my digital spaces include learning about other peoples perspectives and my plan to achieve them is to be open minded when someone makes a post that does is not what my personal beliefs are, and listen in an unbiased way.

Collaboration Reflection
Our group shared information by making a plan at the beginning of the assignment and decided what everyone was going to do, and how our group would divide up.
Our group used technology to create the entire project, except for when we wrote in our own versions of the project. The technology helped because it was less time consuming, but if we didn’t have a laptop/tablet then it was very hard to get anything done.
We distributed our tasks by splitting our group into two groups so that we all could get help from a partner. We assigned each group a parent, and a kid, as well as a day to solve for. From there is was each partnership that would decide what they would do.
I did the chart for Thursday, as well as the justification for Thursday which is below the solution chart.
Self Assessment: Collaboration and Critical Thinking
Some things I thought about before dividing up the tasks between our group was how can we all do our fair share of work without any excessive repetition.
I knew the group was working well when we get to work and I could see work being done by everybody on the word document, and nobody was finding any major issues with our system that was in place.
I can contribute to and work with criteria to improve my own work because when I see the criteria, and I know what I have to do in order to get a certain mark.
I remain open minded as I explore viable options or alternative approaches like when I read Ms. Lam’s feedback and made the necessary corrections, and noticed why I needed to make that revision and how it made my project look better.
Our product is Chocky milk and it helps you build muscle at an unnatural rate. It does that by having lots of creatine and protein and may have steroids in it. It is to show other companies the competition and innovations we are bringing to the market. We used what physique many people want in our advertisement to show that our product can help them reach their goals without the continuous dedication of going to the gym everyday. Our product is also meant to not only make you look better but allow you to perform better as well. This product does still require you to workout at a somewhat normal rate but a lot less than without this product.
After this project I can now identify and understand the ways all the different types of advertisements make you think. I can also now understand how all the different advertising techniques affect what you think of the product. This project also has shown me what the thinking is behind the companies when they create an advertisement for us to see. I also now know how companies make you believe that their product is the best compared to their competitor. This project also showed that their are many different types of approaches to advertisements in order for you to pay attention to them.
