Digital Literacy: How Would You Teach It?



Writing 150 Free Write 1/30/13
2) From Virginia Heffernen
1. The way my teachers in elementary, middle and high school could have better prepared you for the tech requirements in college was  give us detail or ideas on what kinds of tech we would be using or have someone that is an expert who specialist in the tech and show us.
2. The kind of technology I anticipate having to use in my chosen career field is different program things and working with electronic circuits. Do I think my schooling here at Oakland will prepare me for that and many other things in my field in the future.
3. Yes I do feel better writing in a more relaxed setting because there are no distractions around to get me off track. Another reason why I like it is that there is no pressure and I can go off my mind and just write however I feel rather happy, sad, good or bad. Because not everyone can just go to a different place with a lot of noise and just write what on the top of their heads and just write about anything rather it’s a paper (rough or  final draft) for a specify class or just writing to express themselves. I also wouldn’t be over thinking anything I can just be myself and be calm to write rather a blog, song, poem, etc. it’s just a good thing to be good in the environment with just yourself and maybe some music to get ideas going to better yourself with anything regarding writing projects. Another reason I like writing in a relaxing setting because it’s in general a relaxing place no one wants to be in a busy environment to think and write if a person is more relaxed in a setting that fits them then a lot can be accomplished with anything dealing with homework or other things and rather it’s myself or someone else no one wants to be stress out, yell at, or pressure to meet a word and page requirement but not caring how much they write or how long it is.
4. If I was a science teacher I would attempt to have different scientist come in and help with projects and give detail on how to do certain thing that way my students don't mess up. Also give detail on what they do as their profession.
 5. I do agree  with the main thesis of education needs a digital upgrade because in school nowadays certain student will be doing work that hasn't been invented yet and it would be better if teachers at least gave example on what the students want to get into in the future. Also try having someone come in that specialists in something that people would be working on where the students can see hands on.
