This week I was much happier with the content that I produced. I took on board the comments about having headings on my blog and made them work this week – compared to previous weeks where I think they interrupted the flow of the blog. My main focus of improvement this week was making sure that all of the infographics/multi-media I put on my blog were self-created. While I managed to achieve this, I only used infographics and a power-point presentation. Continue reading →

I tried to take on board comments from last week’s feedback about having headings, and while I agree that headings are a good idea I think the implementation of them made the flow of my blog suffer.

Reading my peer’s blogs and seeing how differently each of us has responded to the same task has helped me to establish the persona that I want on my blog. Before researching and wholly understanding what a digital resident is I would have classed myself a digital resident on most platforms. Continue reading →

Originally it was suggested that you’re either a digital ‘native’ or a ‘immigrant’ (Prensky, 2001).
