It was a privilege to collaborate with my fellow classmate, Evelina, for the last reflection post and I had great fun while filming it. Do take some time to watch it! :P Here are the out-takes, just for laughs, really. Continue reading →

What exactly are content producers? One could argue that we are all content producers in one way or another, creating content as we leave our digital footprint.

Someecards This topic has given me insights to ethical issues of business and education with regards to the use of social media. Several classmates have my drawn attention to the what they think are the most significant ethical issues.

What exactly is real and how do you know what’s real – that’s questionable. The veil that surrounds each individual is what makes it alluring, we do not know for sure what we see is who the person truly is. Continue reading →

Two words: Mind blown. I bet you are too. Before reading about Prensky’s and White’s theories about Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants, Digital Visitors and Digital Residents, I had no clue that we as digital users of the web are labelled as such. Subsequent research the topic and discussion with my peers has given me greater insight and understanding of the model to better reflect on where we stand in this digital space. Continue reading →
