Reflecting on Digital Differences

When I first reflected on my Digital Differences, I assumed I was Digitally similar to people my age living in developed countries, I assumed personal factors were the main thing that might make me Digitally Different… But Phoebe’s comment and recommended article on my blog revealed the extent to which Macro factors have a role, even in developed countries… What I learnt from Phoebe’s blog and the article (The Edvocate, 2017).

I received four comments on my blog this week – this was really nice to see, and made me feel people were appreciating my content which makes writing the post feel worthwhile. Continue reading →

A reflection on Digital Differences

In my own blog post I read all the comments from our introductory topics and took them on board. Coming from population and geography I find the software hard to use, however this week managed to create my own video on Powtoon, as well as creating my own graph on Excel, participating in the MOOC and also adding an infra graphic from Piktochart. Having read numerous other blogs from my classmates I now feel I have a much broader understanding of the topic. Continue reading →
