A9.5: Week 9 Reflection

Aims and Objectives:

My goals this week were:

• To write my fourth genre.  I really wanted to complete this genre and make sure that it could be integrated into my topic.
• To learn more about branching literacy.  I never realized how the things that I think are common knowledge are classified.  I think that it is really neat that there are a ton of different types of digital literacy.
• To reflect upon the suggestions that my classmates have made in order to improve my work.

Declarative Knowledge:

     This week I learned that branching literacy is a type of digital literacy.  This literacy includes being able to operate technology and map how you used the technology to get to places.  I learned more about how I could improve my work through reading my groupmates comments.  I also have learned more about alternative treatment options for a person with severe Broca’s aphasia with apraxia by talking to professors and researching sources.

Procedural Knowledge:

     I began this weeks assignments as I usually do by going to the class website and viewing the reading assignments.  I then went through my email and read some of the mailing list emails that I have been receiving.  I then did the branching literacy assignment by going to Yahoo and typing in branching literacy.  I chose two helpful websites and reflected on the questions that were asked.  I went to my weblog and posted the response.  I then went to my groupmates websites and posted my comments.  I have really enjoyed reading their projects and providing helpful feedback.  I researched my topic further and wrote it on paper.  I am doing some last minute revisions but plan to post it this evening.

Conditional Knowledge:.

     I really think that it is important to know about the different types of digital literacy.  This will allow you to improve upon these skills and even teach others how to use them.  This will help as a lifelong learner.  I also think that it is important to be able to make suggestions without criticizing and I think that we are learning to do that by reviewing each others work.  This will really help us in our careers.

Question:

When are we going to learn how to Podcast?
