Reflection

Having previously completed a module within which writing a blog was a core component, choosing UOSM2008 seemed like a smart decision to make. I had assumed my degree background being technical, and having previous experience blog writing would aid me within this module, something which was not the case. Continue reading →

Reflecting on my first blog post (intro topic)

Before completing the introductory topic for UOSM2008, I was already aware that I needed to improve my digital literacy in the modern society that I live in. This was the main reason I chose to study this module in the first place: I felt that I needed more digital skills, particularly in order to become more employable. Continue reading →

Intro Topic – Reflections on the Module and 1st Post

When first posed the question, “are you a digital native or a digital immigrant?”, I would have hands down said I am a digital native. Being brought up with technology certainly has helped this. However, it wasn’t long before I started doubting my positioning in the groups. The first thing this module required was to set up a blog, for a digital native like I thought I was myself should have been effortless, however, it was the total opposite. Continue reading →

New journey,new challenges: Reflection on my very first post.

The first step is the hardest Though I have read countless of blogs, never once have I realised how difficult it was to create your own blog. I have always identified myself as a fast-learner and computer literate, but I still found myself struggling to set up the blog. Both writing the post and leaving comments on other’s blog were challenging for me as a passive reader. Continue reading →

Introductory Topic

Whilst writing my first post, I realised it was going to be difficult to create an effective, interesting and engaging piece of work but I soon realised this would be easier to achieve with the use of infographics and Youtube videos. Through researching into digital migrants and residents I feel like I have been able to think about the world wide web from a new perspective. Continue reading →

Let’s Reflect on my Digital Residency

Reflecting on research is important, especially in learning and teaching science, otherwise pre-existing conceptions from a monistic approach result in only “the one correct explanation” and “one most elegant procedure for testing an hypothesis” being put forward (Baird et al., 1991).

My Reflection on Digital ‘Visitors’ and ‘Residents’

A Reflection on Digital ‘Visitors’ and ‘Residents’ Upon writing “Digital ‘Visitors’ and ‘Residents’”, I admittedly paid less attention to Prensky’s theory and accepted White and Le Cornu’s concept as absolute.  But, further research into Prensky’s approach has actually got me thinking about the similarity between the two.

A Reflection on my digital residency

I chose this module due to it being so far removed from my actual degree of Population and Geography as well as a challenge. Being relatively useless with technology, I have found using the various software challenging however look forward to developing my skills as the module goes on. I am used to a different style of teaching as well as essay writing and this new way of learning has been a great experience so far. Continue reading →
