    What I learned about Financial Higher Education is it is a series of methods to pay through school. There is  Research, apply, select, study and repay. This is how you pay through school. You can use methods like FASFA, Private Student Loans or Grants and Scholarships. You use Financial Higher Education methods to find easier ways to go through school by paying less.

              Payments, Interest rates and Credit cards are components of Financial Literacy. Payments are ways of paying in different ways like; •Cash, Checks, Money Order, ATM Cards, Debit Cards, Credit Cards, Merchant Credit Cards, Money Advances and Payday loans. Interest Rates can be beneficial and hurt you. The way it can help you is if you choose a fitting banking account it can help you make money and save money. Credit Cards are another way of paying but it can put you into debt most of the time. You can purchase items on your credit card but at the end of the month, you are going to have to pay the credit card company the money back and some times more.

                   I know that a digital footprint is the data trail that comes from the internet. The importance of digital footprint in a positive way is looking for something that you forgot about but you know is going to come up in the future. We can develop our digital footprint by leaving bookmarks on what we think is going to be important in the future.

 Before: I know that Academic Integrity is something like copying others homework and forging signatures  and stuff like that. I know that you can suspended or get detention for sharing your work with others and pretending that a no name homework is yours when it is not. I know that cheating has something to do with that. I know plagiarism is involved with that. So basically everything is cheating.

After: I learned that expulsion is one of the consequences for Academic integrity. I also learned that if you do get work from a site you will have to state what site you got it from and what page etc. etc.

              I honestly don't know much about blogging. I know that bloggers post things about there daily lives and if something interesting happened that day. I don't follow anybody on twitter because I don't follow social media anymore. I think it can help our learning process by sharing our ideas with each other to expand   our minds and share our thoughts with one another. If I see something that will you know help me understand the topic better I will read it or write it as long as it helps me understand more thoroughly. I am interested in Sports blogs. I found a plenty of Sports blogs on ESPN.com. I am interested in Soccer, Basketball, and Football.
