Social Media Safety

During the presentation, I learned that any of the media is not 100 percent safe. Some people can get our information which we shared on the internet, even they can find something privacy. They have ability to hack in our camera and then they will know everything happened in our living room. That's sounds horrible but these phenomenons really exist.
To keep my safety of media, I sell my phone and computer. If I want to protect my students, I will sell their phones and computers.
In my opinion, the presentation is really useful for helping us to be aware about we are kind of exposed.

Lest We Forget

Remembrance Day
As many know, August 4th marks the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I. Canada’s participation in the First World War shaped the country and Canadian identity. More than 650,000 Canadians and Newfoundlanders served in the First World War, with more than 66,000 of them losing their lives. While traditionally, the Legion does not commemorate the start of conflicts, in recognizing the significance of this historic milestone, we are offering some suggestions for ways you can commemorate and Remember.

Sgt. Tommy Prince (centre), from Brokenhead Ojibway Nation, served in WWII and in Korea with the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry. His cunning and bravery earned him a dozen medals, including battle honours for service in Korea with the PPCLI.
Every year on Remembrance Day I think about my grandfathers, father, uncles, and the 6,000 First Nations soldiers who served alongside the Canadian Forces throughout the First and Second World Wars.
These men and women were not Canadian citizens and not subject to conscription efforts. Regardless, they volunteered and stood as allies with their settler brothers — nation to nation — in defence of the land and our collective freedoms. They made valuable contributions to the war efforts and earned more than 50 medals throughout both conflicts. 
Our soldiers fought for the shared values of freedom and democratic rights for all. However, these soldiers returned from the war and quickly realized those freedoms and rights did not equally apply to them as they did their non-native comrades.

Halloween

Halloween or Hallowe'en (/ˌhæləˈwn, -ˈn, ˌhɑːl-/; a contraction of "All HallowsEvening"), also known as Allhalloween. All Hallows' Eve, or All Saints' Eve, is a yearly celebration observed in a number of countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It initiates the triduum of Allhallowtide, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed believers.
