Reaction: Technology and the perspective has changed in the past few years. Students are now encouraged to create blogs and profiles to create additional skills. The society has changed and now relies on the internet in many ways. Even for careers an employer some type of technological skill. Students should be introduced to technology in their younger years. The internet is a large part of our lives now days and students should now that. Creating social networking sites and profiles lets them be creative when creating blogs. It also lets them be more self conscious with what they write. Their peers are more important to them then any teacher. They feel that a peer criticism is stronger than a teachers.

I used this same quote! It really shows how, just like everything else, media literacy changes. We need to keep up with it if we ever plan to benefit from it.
ReplyDeleteYou're definitely right about the fact that our lives and futures are just going to continue to get more technologically advanced, and we do need to teach our students the skills they will need to succeed in that world. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI know a lot of people feel like when they write for their friends to read, they make it good. That's because everyone wants to impress their friends and show them that you can do good work. Makes them work hard no doubt. Good post.
