SCED 4200: Blog Post #5

In today's society you would be considered "weird" if you didn't have a I-Pod, cell phone, computer, etc. I have had to become digital literate because of our society. Over a one week period I use digital technologies every day without a doubt. Each day I use a cell phone, multiple times a day. I also use an I-Pad a couple times a day and a computer at least everyday. I use my I-Pod everytime I work out as well. I don't have interent or cable at my house, so for internet I just use my phone and for tv we just watch movies or play video games all the time. There is always some way to use technology ha ha. The online texts that I read are mainly social. I read facebook updates, I like to read about sports, and I sometimes like to read the news online. When I am teacher I think it would be a good idea to incorporate digital texts somehow into my teaching, because students are already online most of the time. I think blogs is a great way to have students communicate with each other and write their thoughts out. I think students will be more interested in writing on a blog as opposed to on paper.
