So today it’s almost the last day…
I don’t know if #Ken is reading my posts, but anyways…
Today was an not so much active day but it was interesting, we visit the blogs of our classmates and commented in these, and was interesting to see how different we are haha, in the good way, I mean, I saw like at least 50 photos, each one with different words and meaning, and it is amazing to see how a photo, sometimes can say more than words, I think I’m finally understanding all the things that Ken says, if we’re going to put something in Internet, we should put cool stuff, something that can change lives, well not that strong, but something that make other people feels different, or change their perspective, not just put random stuff and words, we never know who is going to read this post right Ken?
In the noon we had the virtual visit of our guest Maha Bali, she was in Cairo, and for this visit I read her article Knowing the Difference Between Digital Skills and Digital Literacies, and Teaching Both, this article blew my mind, but I regret one thing, not to asked anything to #Maha, I was to shy to ask my question, but maybe I’ll do it on twitter, this article talks about how we can use the digital world as a connection, learning, critics, and judgment and all these together create a Digital Literacies, no skill, as the article says, anyone can learn how to download a photo and use it in some article or blog post, but what really matters is the content of a blog post or a video, if it is informative or not, if it will be transfer information or a feeling, and that’s what Maha said in one question that someone asked, she said that she preferred to do a blog post instead of video, but then she said that with a video you can get more emotional and it’s easier for people to understand you, but with writing you can get deep something that you can’t do with a video, and something that was very interesting to me, was that she said that maybe videos are more like for our generation, and for her generation the blog posts are better.
Today was an interesting day and I’m looking forward for tomorrow, last day of #Semanai with Ken and Diego Zavala.
