Week 2- Wee-Bit-Boring Gate

 Hello All,

I decided to take a three-personality exam this week, and I must say, I never thought personality tests would be so entertaining. I finished Trueity, Five Thirty-Eight, and sixteen personalities. I should think about who I am most closely associated with cognitively before taking these personality tests. Characteristics of an individual's outlook on life, values, thoughts, and self-perception are the primary foci of cognitive theories of personality. This way of thinking maintains that one's ideas play a significant role in shaping their personality since they impact their emotions. In other words, I am expressing the possibility of two things being true simultaneously because I enjoy personality tests and think they can be accurate if taken honestly. Among the three, I preferred 16 personalities for a couple of reasons: first, I didn't have to pay a subscription fee to get my findings; second, the results are accurate and useful. I took a personality test a few years before my senior year of high school in the hopes of discovering my niche in the workforce; the findings indicated that I would be most fulfilled in the roles of social worker, nonprofit employee, or teacher. As you may expect, I work as a teacher. So, getting back to the 16 personalities, they said that my dominant trait is advocacy; when I shared these findings with my fiancée, he agreed wholeheartedly. One aspect that really stood out to me was the portrayal of parenting, which included a quotation from Nicole Kidman: "My instinct is to protect my children from pain." But adversity is frequently the thing that strengthens our character and bravery. Continuing from there, the piece emphasizes the significance of a parent with this personality type seeing their child through the process of learning the difference between right and wrong. These parents also tend to instill a sense of independence and integrity in their children, according to their findings. Out of the three tests I took, this one was the most fun for me. My results from FiveThirtyEight were broken down into five categories, and one of them was "low negative emotionality." This basically suggests that I am an extremely positive and stable person emotionally. In addition, they said that I am very conscientious and that I may be "wee-bit-boring," which is both a funny and accurate description of me as most days are dull and predictable.

    Hi Cydney. It is very cool that your personality test results from high school continue to reflect the results in the 16 Personalities test. You are definitely in the right career field, as teachers are the biggest advocates of today's youth. Of the three tests you took, did you find any results that surprised you? Also, how do you think your personality traits help you in developing relationships in PLNs?

 Hello All! My name is  Cydney Berdell, and I am now in my second year of teaching for the Chicago Public Schools. As someone born and raised on the south side of Chicago, I am currently employed as a teacher in the same South Side neighborhood. Specifically, I spent my childhood in the Walker-branch and Woodson Regional Libraries of the Chicago Public Library system. I concluded that I wanted to earn a master's degree in library science at some point in the future because I would eventually like to leave the classroom but continue to work with marginalized children and community members. One of my favorite things about the Chicago Public Libraries is how they offer unending support, resources, and materials to the community they serve. At 25 years old, I belong to that peculiar group known as Gen Z, which takes social media somewhat seriously while also appreciating the little things in life, like spending time with loved ones, being outdoors, and even having a hobby (I was a...

  Given that my grandmother is an elderly woman, I believe getting her an Alexa Echo a few years ago was a brilliant decision. I got it for her even though she isn't tech-savvy or remotely interested in technology. It would be an excellent idea to give her this gift for Christmas. I visited my grandmother a few weeks after Christmas to learn how she utilized Alexa and whether it worked for her. "No, Alexa is nosy and listens to your conversations," she told me pretty clearly before unplugging it. I thought my grandma was exaggerating at the time, but I now understand that these gadgets are meant to listen in on conversations. The absolute risk of Alexa listening to our discussions was an article that explained why Amazon violates the privacy of its customers by listening to their discussions in the comfort of their homes. According to the company, this improves the accuracy of software responses (Alaimo, 2019). I understand that Alexa's function as a virtual assistant...

  The Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) was passed by Congress in 2000 to address concerns about children's access to obscene or hazardous information on the internet. The need for two separate acts arises from the fact that they regulate different aspects of Internet use: COPPA governs commercial websites, whilst CIPA governs schools and libraries. Another distinguishing element of the two statutes is that they are administered by separate commissions. Federal rules like FERPA and COPPA safeguard student/child privacy and records. (Pintrest Image Retrieved from:  CIPA, COPPA, FERPA . (n.d.). Pinterest. https://www.pinterest.com/lbthomp/cipa-coppa-ferpa/ ) In retrospect, I am of the opinion that COPPA can effectively safeguard children from viewing detrimental online content. However, it is important to note that the primary purpose of COPPA is to equip parents with the ability to regulate the gathering, utilization, or revelation of personal information from children ...
