My Digital Dossier

Digital Dossier is an accumulation of digital tracks you have left behind on the computer

Your digital dossier begins before you are even born, when your mother gets an ultrasound of you. This is the first picture taken of you it may be sent to other people through email etc., a copy is also kept in your file in the doctor's office. This is the beginning your digital dossier. Then when you are born and your parents text or ring friends and family to tell them that their baby was born,the time and how much they weigh this may even include a photograph. All of this information is also kept in your doctor's file as well.
 As you grow older, your parents take photographs of you. Your first step, first pair of shoes, first day of school and other milestones. These photographs may be put onto social media sites such as Facebook, twitter etc. Your digital dossier is already very large before you even contribute to it yourself.
 When you get older you join computer games like club penguin or stardoll, you give your name age and gender on these sites. This adds even more information to your digital dossier. When you get even older you join social media sites such as Facebook and twitter. Here you give out your likes and dislikes, your  birthday, where you live and what school you went to. You also post videos, pictures and post about things that you have done. This is all adding to your digital dossier.
 As you grow older you add more to your digital dossier. When you get a credit card, every time you buy something it is recorded. When you buy a house or get married there is documents that you have to fill out this will add to your digital dossier. Everything that we do adds to our digital dossier sometimes it is positive other times it is negative and sometimes we don't even know that we are adding to our digital dossier.

Walk in my Shoes

Today is Mental Health Day. To raise awareness for mental health we gave a donation of €2 to the St. Patrick's Mental Health foundation to help raise awareness for positive mental health in young people. We all wore funky shoes along with non uniform to show how we were walking in other people's shoes.

It was great to see everyone's funky shoes and to see everyone supporting such a great cause because people rarely talk about young people's mental health

Wake Me Up Before You Go Go .....

This week was very busy. I had Work Experience on Wednesday. The school mass and our funwalk was on Thursday too.
  In work experience I did a lot of office work, this meant scanning, answering phones,writing addresses on envelopes and sorting the post that had to be sent out. It was good to see how in a lab it is not only about testing things there is other aspects as well.
 In the school Mass I was singing along with my music class, another TY music class and a 5th year music class. This was good as I have never sung in a choir before so it was a new experience.
  After the mass we had our funwalk. We had been preparing for this all week. All the TYs had to wear yellow and each class in the school had to preform a dance. My class, Aurora danced to Wake Me Up Before You Go Go by WHAM!. We had great fun showing the school and the judges our dance moves that we had been working on all week. After everyone was finished dancing we set off on our walk. When we got back to the school it was time to go home. The day flew by.
  When I went into school the next day we waited for the announcement to see who won the dance from our year. My Class Won! We were all delighted and got a box of chocolates as our prize. I was delighted that we won because I hadn't won before
