Editing on PicMonkey


The name of this application is PicMonkey

PicMonkey edits photo's and helps you get a better idea of how to screenshot things.

 
 


You could use PicMonkey in different subjects like Art to create things and English to also create things.

I didn't really come across many challenges except for one that was towards the start in which I could not put a photo in to edit.

There is nothing more to add except for the fact that this was really fun and I enjoyed it.

Identity Theft

Identity Theft is really bad, some ways for identity thief's to steal your identity are;

-They can get your bank details through emails and scams, forcing you to click on links whilst you think it is your bank but you are unaware that it is the thief.
-They can tamper with your bags, wallets, briefcases, purses, suitcases and handbags whilst you are not looking and they can get your passports and licenses.
-They can call or text through to your phone and they can spam you or ask for very important details.
-They can force you into things, and trick you into doing things and saying things that you don't want to say or mention.

Scrupulous ways for identity thief's to steal your identity;

-Skimming is a common way for identity thief's to steal your identity. The process is by getting your credit card information including your pin number and any other passwords included in payment process'. This form of identity thief is usually performed by restaurant owners and waiters whilst you pay at the cash register, this is also used from business people.
-Another way is called shoulder surfing, the process for this is the thief will video you over your shoulder with a simple iPhone so its not as obvious when he is video you whilst you swipe your card and put your pin number in.
-Thief's could steal your identity by putting fake things on ATM's that track your finger print and then they can see what your pin number is and investigate further to steal your identity from there.
-Also to do with ATM's is they can out mini cameras that are now where near noticeable on the ATM, they can then see everything you do to take out your credit card number out of it.

Ways to prevent this;

-You could only use inside ATM's, that are inside a bank so not just anyone can tamper with the ATM's.
-Also be aware of your surroundings and make sure there is nothing suspicious happening around you or no one suspicious around.
-Be aware of Phishing. Shoulder surfing and Skimming.
-Watch videos on YouTube or talk to friends about this to make you aware of what's been happening or what potentially can happen.

Ngram

Ngram is the name of the website.

This is a website that shows the history of the use of words and how the use of them have increased or decreased.

This is a screenshot of an ngram monitoring my name and brand with Google alerts.

https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=hannah&year_start=1800&year_end=2000&corpus=15&smoothing=3&share=&direct_url=t1%3B%2Channah%3B%2Cc0

You could use Ngram in a lot of subjects but the main ones would have to be History, English, Maths and Christian Ed. You could use them to see timelines and how words have been used in previous years and centuries.

I had a challenge while taking a screenshot but apart from that it was a very easy task!
