All about me!

Hey everyone, my name is Billy Wang and I am a fourth year accounting student at Brock University. During my free time, I like to play squash and badminton with my friends at Brock's athletic facilities. I am also very active as I enjoy regular morning runs and spin classes in the Zone at Brock. In the past few years, I have been very active in my community. Some of my involvements included participating in the annual CN Tower climb for the United Way; I have also participated in several charity runs organized by Scotia bank, CIBC and GoodLife Fitness.

Although I do enjoy a variety of physical activities, I also like to spend a fair amount of time on video games; one of my favourite PC games is Total War: Rome. In addition, I own a PS3 which I occasionally play, some titles I own include Battlefield, CoD Black Ops and GTA. Apart from video games, I enjoy a variety of music including Rap, Hip-pop, Classic Rock, Classical and Jazz! My favourite male artists range from James Blunt to Jay-Z and even Frank Sinatra. On the other hand, I absolutely love female artists like Kelly Clarkson, Whitney Houston and Ella Fitzgerald.

Growing up in the digital age where technology has moved incredibly fast than it ever has provides countless amounts of opportunities to embrace technology and use it to my advantage ,whether I am at school or work. However, with all these new technologies and innovations, it is important to understand the idea of digital citizenship and digital footprint. Because what one chooses to do on the inter web will affect one's digital citizenship and leave a unique digital footprint. This is why I have chosen to take ADED 1P32, an education course in digital citizenship. Through this course, I hope to become familiarized in effectively and ethically using digital tools for lifelong learning and development. Furthermore, I believe this course will help me understand the benefits of using digital technology, articulate an understanding of Canadian digital laws and principles of digital citizenship.

I hope you enjoyed reading my first blog and I will end it with a quote:

"My own experience is use the tools that are out there. Use the digital world. But never lose sight of the need to reach out and talk to other people who don't share your view. Listen to them and see if you can find a way to compromise."

Colin Powell
