How to know things are fake online

For the last cupple of weeks in cybersmart we have learnt how to know if anything is fake or dangerous in the internet. Our teacher showed us a site called tree octopus we looked at it for a while then The teachers said it was all fake. Then watched a some videos then we had a little quiz that we had to try and guess if it was fake or real. One thing that we learnt was if it was a site it may not have http there or there might be spaces if it was fake. If you have a dogie email that asks you for personal information or if it say hello dear friend and it doesn't say your name its most likely fake.

So Now I know if you have to be very careful on the internet because there are loads of people that want peoples private information.   Have you ever had a dogie email before?

Math factor patterns

Last week my math group learnt about what factors where. If you don't know what factors are factors are what we can multiply to get that number. After we learnt about what factors where we got an factor sheet to fill out, There were different questions about factors like make a list of numbers from 1 to 20 and write all the factors for each of the numbers.. I found it quiet hard for me because some questions I didn't really get what it was trying to tell me.
