Internet Safety


  1. "Visit only safe websites. Stay away from sites with flashing pictures, bright colors, and messy ads. Does the site make you uncomfortable? If so, leave the site right away. [1]"
  2. "Do you want to meet an online friend in person? Never do this without a parent’s permission. If you do meet someone, take an adult. Meet in a busy place like a library. [1]"
  3. "You can use Incognito Mode in the Chrome browser on your computer, tablet, or phone to browse the web privately. In Incognito Mode, the pages you visit and files you download aren’t recorded in Chrome’s browsing or download history. [2]"
    But what you share and who you share it with can end up saying a lot about you.
  4.  

    "To help create the best version of your story online, it’s good to know our first tip: think before you share. [3]"

  5.  

    "What’s this mean? That anything you post online, any message, picture, status update or blog post has the potential to be shared. If something you shared privately became public, how would that make you feel? And how might it affect how others think about you if they saw it? So it's always good to think about these things before you share online. [3]"

  6.  

    "Do not share or post your personal information online. Do not give out your last name, address, or phone number. Ask a parent before posting your photograph or


    school’s name. [2]"

IFTTT: Connect Gmail to Google Calendar, Alexa to Blogger, and even Google Calendar to Contacts!

  Now, you may want to connect your devices to each other. Like your smart home to your email to get an email when it is turned on and off! So, before you build a new app, there is already an app for what you want to do. That app is called IFTTT! So, to get started, go to IFTTT and create an account. And then, create a new applet! Now, select what you want to trigger your applet. You could use an Alexa command, sending an email, or even creating a new Google Contact! Now, you need to choose what happens. You could send a notification to your iPad or Fire Tablet, create a new Google Contact, or even create a Google Calendar event! This is the example I will do. Now, before you can use some services (like Alexa and Contacts), you need to link your account. Just log in and allow IFTTT to access your account! After you are done choosing your options, click on Continue. You can receive notifications when it runs. After that, click on Finish. Your applet is now ready! Now, ther...

My New Computer (Acer Spin 3)

  So recently I got a new computer. So what are the differences? While, this laptop is a Windows laptop, which is new for me. This computer is an Acer Spin convertible, specifically an Acer Spin 3. One thing that this laptop has compared to my previous Chromebooks is that it has a Caps Lock key. So what is in this laptop? This has an Intel Iris Plus graphics card paired with an Intel Core i5 10th Gen processor, along with 8 gigabytes of RAM (memory) and 512 gigabytes of storage. WAY more than I need. So should you get it? Yes. Now, when should you get it? Your choice. You can get it now, or get it when it is not an outside vendor. And I forgot to say, it comes with a stylus. So how many stars do I rate it? 5 stars. And there is also a backlit keyboard, but you can turn that on or off with the F8 key. And you will need to turn it on to turn it off. But overall, the Acer Spin 3 is a good laptop. I recommend this laptop to anyone who needs a good Windows laptop. To actu...
