Topic 1: Contextualized Digital Literacy

Digital Literacy is Contextualized: Residents in Facebook/twitter does not equal resident in Canvas/Zoom I am skeptical about the term “digital native.” The relationship between young generation and technology requires more nuanced understanding. In my opinion, it is risky if the educators take students’ digital literacy for granted and downplay the necessity of the support system thatContinue reading “Topic 1: Contextualized Digital Literacy”

The scenario for the week reminds me of a movie called the “Hurt Locker”. Here, the main actor (dunno his name) of the movie bravely enters a super market, only to be faced with the daunting task of staring down the isl of countless boxes of breakfast cereals, doing all of this with the infinitely […]

Getting my blog started

Welcome to my blog dedicated to reflections on the onl202 course! As I am new to blogging I needed some introduction to get started, and today I was offered such help through an online tutorial provided by Karlstad University.
