Everfi Reflection

The Everfi Course that I completed a couple months ago taught me many things about technology and many ways to stay safe, but overall what caught my attention the most was how every section of Everfi related to the topics we were learning in class. It gave me a more clear understanding of what the lessons we were learning in class. For example, I remember how in the middle of second quarter my class and I were learning about how to stay safe when navigating through the internet and social media. At first, I thought that I knew everything on how to be safe on social media, but turns out I didn't. This was when Everfi made me realize that there are many ways to stay safe that we as teenagers and adults. In the Everfi section where it all about privacy and safety I learned that just because your settings and pictures are set to private and my eyes only it doesn't mane no one can see it.This turned out to be more interesting then I taught because at some point in my life of my years of using social media there were times when I would put a post or picture so that I could only see it, and I thought that I was the only one that saw it.Based on what I learned on ever no matter how private something is people will always have access to your stuff unless the type of social media really has settings where privacy is really real.

Another thing that I learned that was related to what we were learning in the classroom was how I always my entire life of using social media whether it was Instagram,snapchat, or facebook I always use to think that once I took something down from social media it would elte forever,but I stopped believing this once I found out on Everfi that nothing you take down ever is going away forever. I learned that yes you may take it down and think that it is gone, but the reality is nothing you delete will ever just got away like that what you post or even send stays there forever it is permanent.There was a video that talked about how you should always think what you post such as pictures or status because you may have it there for a while and decide to delete it later on,but what you don't know is how many people have seen it screenshot it, share it, or saved it for later. These were my favorite topics on everfi that I learned about and also made me understand why my classroom and I were going to learn about this because, to be honest, once my teacher told me we were going to learn about his I was like oh my god boring topic I know everything about it but turns out I didn't know enough. T be honest it was an amazing topic to learn about because it teaches us, teens, that being safe is not easy and privacy is more important than we thought and why it always important to think twice before posting something online that can ruin our lives.
