• Telling someone your address online
• Strangers tracking your location to find where you live

Some steps to stay safe include

• Use security software
• Secure your online accounts
• Don’t post a lot of your personal information online
• Don’t open mail from strangers

Personal/Social Competency Reflection

Some of my preferred strategies for maintaining a healthy, balanced online presence include…

• Not showing my face online in order to keep myself from being phished.
• Not posting my personal information online (my address, my country, etc.)

Some of the ways I work to build and maintain online relationships are…

• Keeping the information I tell my online friends limited, and not telling them where I live.
• Giving myself a fake name and not telling people my real name online

I think my experiences as a digital citizen, such as…. influenced my choice of course/hobbies/ teams because…

• I like 3D animations, and I got to make one in Drafting Design and Animation.
• I like to draw as a hobby, but I don’t often do it anymore because I’m always busy.

Data And Solutions

Year 1=80000 x 1.042 = 83,360

year 2=year 1 x 1.042 = 86,861

year 3 = year 2 x 1.042 = 90,509

Savings= 10,000+10,000+10,000=30,000

Total= 30,000+90,509=120,509

Justification

Risks- A safe and secure investment with very little risk. You don’t have to worry about losing your money because it is guaranteed. This suits me well because I am not the kind of person who likes to take risks with a lot of money.

Strengths- GICs are one of the safest investment options for Canadians because returns are guaranteed.

Weaknesses- You’ll need to tie up your money for the entire term if you want to get the full return

Collaboration and Contributions

1. My group was quiet, but working with them was good
2. I contributed to the group by researching what a GIC is. The other people in my group didn’t contribute to my learning much, but they were being helpful at times.
3. No, because my group did not give much info.
4. 2

Core Competency Reflection

• I can ask and respond to questions to be an active, supportive listener.
• I can work with others to achieve a goal.
• I can identify and describe my qualities.
• I can take pride in my work and myself.

I sometimes ask questions when I’m stuck, and I am a supportive listener. I worked with Mr. Ruditsch, and he helped me find the formula to this equation. I was able to identify the answer to this math problem, and I took pride in my work and myself.
