First I want to say I really enjoyed watching all those you tubes videos and understanding how each of those web 2.0 tools websites work. My understanding on web 2.0 from watching the video is that web 2.0 is to me better than web 1.0. Web 2.0 the webmaster shares the responsibility with the internet audience for keeping the website informative and engaging and by doing that people are interested in what the webmaster have to offer . whereas web 1.0 the webmaster is constantly burden with the responsibility of updating the website to keep visitors informed and engaged. So web 2.0 is more of an experience as well as giving out information and keeping people engaged. Also this website is a modern website that is transformed from a simple place to store information to a dynamic place where people regularly gather and interact. Their are alot of web 2.0 tools that are vailable and beneficial to everyone.
How does web 2.0 tools benefit/impact to today's education? By sharing, collaborating, and exchanging ideas in ways that were not dreamed of a few years ago. Web 2.0 tools have the ability to connect administrators, teachers, students, and parents all at the same time. Web 2.0 is great to have you can never go wrong with using any of these tools it makes life and education so much easier. By using web 2.0 groups can be formed to relay information quickly to a specific targeted audience. So I think web 2.0 tools are very beneficial especially to teachers.

copyrights, fair use, cyberbullying, and Nettiquette
what I learned about copyrights, fair use, cyber bullying, and netiquette and my thoughts about all of these is that, copyrights is a form of protection grounded in the U.S. Constitution. Copyright protection exists from the moment that person creates an original work that is fixed he or she owns that copy right. My thoughts on copyright is that I agree that a person should get in trouble for copyrighting CD's or DVD's because the owners are loosing hundreds of dollars maybe even more all because people wants to be cheap and go buy bootlegs copies of different CD's or DVD's just to save a dollar or two, to me that is not fair. Fair use is a limitation and exception to the exclusive right granted by copyright law to the author of a creative work. My thoughts on fair use is that I think it is good because it gives you a chance to use information without getting in trouble like for example using search engines. My thought on cyber bullying is unacceptable I think people who do cyber bullying is a coward and they should be punished to the max so many people have committed suicide because of bullying whether it be on the internet or in person bullying needs to STOP. Netiquettes to me is your behavior on how you represent yourself over the internet how you talk and things like that I feel if you have good netiquette you will never have a major problem with someone on the internet everything will be all good and go smoothly because you are showing respect. So I learned that all these things are very very important and we should take each one of these seriously and learn from them on what to do and not to do.
How I feel about all of these is that, like I stated earlier we need to take each one of these seriously. Do not copyright nobody else's work without their permission they worked hard for their work that they created and the least they want is all their profit. Fair use is good and well said. Cyber bullying needs to come to a stop because too many people are committing suicide because they can not take the bullying it is too much on a person, especially if you can not handle it. Than, netiquette is who you are over the internet it's how you represent yourself over the internet. So I feel that all of these are very important and we need to respect each one of these and we need to educate our students as well as our own kids about all of this information so that they will know.

Mapping Information Activity
I really enjoyed this activity although I was a little confused about this activity when I first read the instruction and still I'm not too sure about it, but I understand it now a little better. Before the mapping activity I conducted my online search my typing in Google I really never used excite or Bing search engines at all. I felt like Google was much better than those search engine. So I would use the Google search engine to pull up my information that way. I hardly ever went directly straight to any website unless it was to fill out information or look up information about that particular website, like to fill out applications. I already knew about the different kinds of search engines and the different search techniques already before doing this activity.
After doing the mapping activity I do not think my habits will change unless it is better than what I am doing now. I will continue to search the way I am searching now in the future by using different search engines like Google, yahoo, or Bing. what I notice about the difference search engines on the specific topic or website that I picked witch was "Victorian Robots" was that when you go to the different search engines it would pull up everything about Victorian Robots and all the related sources about Victorian Robots on each search engine. I also noticed that Google search engine had 2,460,000 results, Bing had 1,850,000 results, and Excite search engine did not list the amount of results on Victorian Robots. This knowledge will affect my teaching to me in a positive way, because I can show my students that it is ok to go straight to the website itself but if you use search engines you will get all different types of information concerning that topic on what you are searching for and you will have different references and sources. My future students may or may not be affected by this and if they do it will be again in a positive way, because they would know how to search for different things and know how to research different things quicker and faster.
In conclusion, I enjoyed this mapping activity and I learned a lot that I did not already know about mapping. I learned how these different search engines have different information about the same topic, how many different results that came up on these search engines and all of the related topics concerning the main topic which was Victorian Robots. I think that this will be a very good activity to show and do with the students and each students will benefit from this activity because they will know the difference between going directly to a website and than using different search engines to search for a topic. I think that different search is great because you can gather all types of good information and create a great paper because you have differencent sources you can go to by using different search engines.
