Reflection
Write a blog entry on WordPress about what you learned on privacy. The journal should be reflective in nature and meaningful to you. Use the responses from your worksheet to help you get started. Those questions are only intended to help you generate ideas for paragraph writing. Keep the blog entry between 350 and 500 words.
