Week 8 - Website five.
The fifth website I looked at is actually a page of someone’s blog and there experiences of New media cultures digital natives. I am aware that this isn’t an academic or professional web page, but I found it really informative and I like how personal experiences were used. The way the writer draws upon being brought up with technology and knowing how towork and use it, compared to the lack of knowledge and the problems her Father experiences is really helpful in understanding the whole notion if digital immigrants and digital natives from someone reality . It helped me to put the terms into use and get a greater understanding. Like all blog sites, the structure of the site is simple and the usability is pretty straightforward, There are links to other pages at the top of the page, but mainly this is the only page directly related, though if you follow enough links you can find related topics. The blog was posted in August 2008, and although It isn’t the most recent updated site I found, I liked the way comments could be made, which can update and introduce newer concepts. The issue discussed in the blog itself is quite contemporary andf relevant to what we are studying.

You seem to have got better as you went along? This wasn't because you just dealt with the top five hits on Google in order of appearance was it? I hope not.
ReplyDeleteThis unit should be a full two days work per week. Week 8 didn't seem to get that commitment. I hope you weren't ill?
No, I used alltheweb to find most of my websites and searched through a number before using the ones I chose.
