First, employers can monitor, employees who maintain a blog, photo diary, or website. Employers can look for, controversial employee opinions, sensitive information disclosures, or wildly inappropriate, conduct. For example, a North Carolina newspaper fired one of its features writers after she, created a blog on which she anonymously wrote about the idiosyncrasies of her job and co –, workers., The second unintended use of information from social networking websites is employers, who check on prospective employees. A June11, 2006 New York Times article reported that, many companies recruiting on college campuses use search engines and social networking, websites such as MySpace, Xanga, and Facebook to conduct background checks. Although, the use of MySpace or Google to scrutinize a student‟s background is somewhat unsettling to, many undergraduates, the Times noted that the utilization of Facebook is especially, shocking to students who believe that Facebook is limited to current students and recent, alumni., Corporate recruiters and prospective employers are not the only people interested in college, students‟ lives. The third unintended use of social networking websites is college, administrators who monitor the Internet – especially Facebook – for student misconduct. For, example, a college in Boston‟s Back Bay expelled its student Government Association, President for joining a Facebook group highly critical of campus police sergeant. In addition,, fifteen students at a state university in North Carolina faced charges in court for underage, drinking because of photos that appeared on Facebook., Although more users of websites such as Facebook are becoming aware of the potential, pitfalls of online identities, many regular users still fail to take three basic security, precautions. First, only make your information available to a specific list of individuals, whom you approve. Second, regularly search for potentially harmful information about, yourself that may have been posted by mistake or by a disgruntled former associate. Third,, never post blatantly offensive material will likely make its way to the wider world. By, taking these simple steps, members of the digital world can realize the many benefits of e –, community without experiencing some of the damaging unintended consequences., , pg. 28, , www.myteachingrobot.com

It has functioned as popular art and enjoyed periods of fairly widespread public, response, in the “jazz age” of the 1920s, in the “swing era” of the late 1930s and in the peak, popularity of modern jazz in the late 1950s. The standard legend about Jazz is that it, originated around the end of the 19th century in New Orleans and moved up the Mississippi, River to Memphis, St. Louis, and finally to Chicago. It welded together the elements of, Ragtime, marching band music, and the Blues. However, the influence of what led to those, early sounds goes back to tribal African drum beats and European musical structures. Buddy, Bolden, a New Orleans barber and cornet player, is generally considered to have been the, first real Jazz musician, around 1891., What made Jazz significantly different from the other earlier forms of music was the use of, improvisation. Jazz displayed a break from traditional music where a composer wrote an, entire piece of music on paper, leaving the musicians to break their backs playing exactly, what was written on the score. In a Jazz piece, however, the song is simply a starting point, or, sort of skeletal guide for the Jazz musicians to improvise around. Actually, many of the early, Jazz musicians were bad sight readers and some couldn‟t even read music at all. Generally, speaking, these early musicians couldn‟t make very much money and were stuck working, menial jobs to make a living. The second wave of New Orleans Jazz musicians included such, memorable players as Joe Oliver, Kid Ory, and Jelly Roll Morton. These men formed small, bands and took the music of earlier musicians, improved its complexity, and gained greater, success. This music is known as “hot Jazz” due to the enormously fast speeds and rhythmic, drive., A young cornet player by the name of Louis Armstrong was discovered by Joe Oliver in New, Orleans. He soon grew up to become one of the greatest and most successful musicians of all, time, and later one of the biggest stars in the world. The impact of Armstrong and other, talented early Jazz musicians changed the way we look at music., pg. 30, , www.myteachingrobot.com
