UOSM2008: Intro topic reflection

This post is part of a series published as part of the University of Southampton’s Living and Working on the Web module. To find out more, including links to all of this year’s student blogs, check out the UOSM2008 website. Although it has involved completely different styles of university teaching and writing to what I’ve been accustomed, I feel I’ve been adjusting well to UOSM2008 throughout the intro topic.

Introductory Topic – Self Reflection

See my original post here. While I do consider myself to be reasonably competent using the internet, comparing my digital self test with others has shown me that I am lacking in some areas; Mostly involved around participating in and building online social networks and managing my online identity. Prenksy’s argument for “Digital Natives and Immigrants” appears as a persuasive and black and white approach to categorising internet users. Continue reading →

Reflecting on the Introductory Topic

On ‘Digital Visitors and Residents’ Upon reflecting on my previous blog post I believe that I have gained a better understanding of my own use of digital technologies. Beginning with the digital self-test made me aware that my digital literacy was not up to the standard which Prensky (2001) would expect of a ‘digital native’ that grew up around technology.

My Reflection on the Introductory Topic

Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants Initially, I was sceptical about Prensky’s theory of digital natives and digital immigrants. After interacting with my peers, I recognised that I was not the only one who did not identify as a digital native and therefore would not fit into Prensky’s theory. At first, I was quite focused on the age biases in Prensky’s theory. Continue reading →

Reflecting on Residency

The first week of creating content for this module has been very interesting. 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 →

Reflecting On My First Blog Post

Writing my first blog post, I quickly realised that it was going to be extremely difficult to put all the information I had gathered through research in to the minuscule 300 word limit. On top of this I really wanted my post to be as engaging, and aesthetically pleasing, and not just a page with 300 words. This is where info-graphics became extremely useful, it allowed me to give a detailed summary of what Prensky Digital Immigrants and Digital Natives meant, and what David S. Continue reading →
