Literacy begins simply with understanding. There were
mainly technologies that I had used before taking this class, but there were a
couple I had little to no knowledge about. After being shown how Prezis work as
well as being hands on and creating a presentation with it gave me a very solid
understanding of it, and I’ve even made a few more since being taught.
Another form of technology I had sparse knowledge of
was RSS feeds and Google Reader. I have experience in blogging and I understood
what RSS is coming in to the class, but I had never subscribed to a feed
before. I found that assignment, using Blogger and Google Reader, to be one of
the most enjoyable and interesting for me. Google Reader is just crazy to me
because it’s so simple at the surface but once you start getting deeper and
deeper into it there’s really so much to it (as shown in the “How To Use Google
Reader” resource). Even if it’s not in an academic setting, I can now use
Google Reader to be a much more informed individual which is incredibly
important to me.
