2.What are the benefits of using a wiki in class
  
    Benefits of using a wifi in class are that it can help us gain more information about a certain topic and help us make things like study guides

3.How can we create a wiki in this class, what would be contribute to it and how would be utilize it on an on-going basis?

       We can create a wiki in this class that would help us understand how to use certain technology tools.

4.What experience do you have using or creating wikis?

      I use wikis on some projects where the teacher allows me to. I also use it often when i'm in a conversation and someone doesnt know something or can't remember it and it really bothers them so i would look it up.

Facebook now uses a animated dinosaur to explain the privacy policy.

An undated handout screen grab of a privacy notification reminder alerting a user before they make a post on Facebook. The social network site announced on May 22, 2014, it will change how it treats new users by initially setting their posts to be seen only by friends and explain to them that adjusting the setting to “public” means that anyone on the Internet can see their photos and messages.

  • Facebook added a new feature where a blue dinosaur to guide users threw the privacy policy.
  •  Facebook says that they added this feature because its a way tom communicate with the people.
  • Another reason why they did this is because over the years they revived lawsuits and confusions about there settings.
