Well, I too took the digital navites quiz... the answers I didn't know were "modding", "smart mobs", and "wiki". I knew the rest of the answers to a certain extent... but I still feel like there is a lot about technology that I don't know. As the times speed along fairly quickly, technology is created and constantly changes faster than we can blink. I think that this project is going to help us learn how to explore a new technology not only now, but in our future. By doing this, we will have the ability to discover and create our own classroom technologies and that is going to become increasingly important, especially as our students are growing up learning things that we did not.
I am going to try to do something with this project that I have not done before, I haven't quite figured out how to do that yet, as I've experienced most of the options. I may create the option of combining a few of the literacies together for one classroom "experience" if you will. I am thinking of creating a classroom blog, but we'll see how that goes. There is still a lot I need to learn about blogging and the intricacies that come along with it. Overall I will say that I am excited to get going on this project although it may be a little bit overwhelming, it seems like it will be fun because we can personalize it.

It's funny how well you think you know something, but then you turn around and you don't know it that well at all. I also missed those terms that you did not get, and even though I thought that I was a "digital native" before this quiz, I now know that I am not on that level.
ReplyDeleteI am also going to try and do something that I have not used before for the new literacies project. I am going to be using a wordle, which I think will be a fun and interesting way to bring out the important terms in cultural literacy. I look forward to seeing your project as well as the rest of the class members projects when they are finished a little bit later in the semester.
