La mayoría de los profesores les enseñan hablidades digitales a sus alumnos, lo cual es de gran ayuda e importante para el aprendizaje, uso y manejo de la web, se enfoca en el cómo. Sin embargo, la alfabetización digital es un método más profundo y adecuado para la enseñanza, se enfoca en el cómo, por qué. para qué, en qué momento, para quién.

Por ejemplo, aprender a usar YouTube, la hablidad digital nos ayudaría para saber cómo acceder a la página, cómo buscar y subir un video. Mientras que la alfabetización digital nos enseñaría a reconocer un video adecuado, a reconocer los derechos de autor, al subir un video cómo hacerlo privado o público, ventajas y desventajas de usar está página web. En resumen una alfabetización digital nos permite tener un mejor uso de las aplicaciones, páginas que usamos.

One of the things that I most enjoy doing is to listening to music. When I’m bored, doing some chores, homework, working, etc. I think music is a big part of my life because I can’t live without it in my everyday.

Here’s a video of the music band Playa Limbo that made a presentation on my school recently.

And here is the main singer of the band “María León” who is the heart of this group.

We constantly use technology to make our lives easier or to communicate an socialize, we get encouraged to post information of ourselves online but we are rarely warned about the possible consequences of doing so, for example, posting certain types of photos on Facebook could possibly reduce your employment opportunities.

There is a huge risk when making blogs and tweets, you are are giving information about you to a lot of people and you can’t know how will they react to it. It is also important to realize that it is important to develop the skills to use technology but it is more important to understand what our reading and writing might do.

It is not possible to avoid all the risks and threads that happen when we post on the internet, but we must be prepare to face them and deal with them in order to address anyone who might contact them.

On today’s session of the course, we learned about new tools to use to manage our vast resources and automize certain tasks. Twitter bots, password managers, video apps and “what Facebook knows about you”. Our guest speaker Maha Bali will be joining us at 12:00pm, to talk about Digital Citizenship.

About management tools, one of my favorite password-keeping tools is 1Password. I have different passwords for every account I have online (especially important ones), and I rely entirely on my memory to remember them. My only concern is that, as I grow older, I won’t be able to remember passwords I created when I was 12 years old. Enter 1Password, my “memory backup” for passwords. Apple recently started implementing password locks on their Notes app, which is also something I use to write down important stuff.

I try to stay updated on current events and relevant news stories every day. My phone is always being attacked by notifications (especially in the morning)  from news apps such as CNN, MSNBC, Bloomberg, and so on. Apple (I’m a huge Apple fan) recently launched News, a news app where you have stories from multiple sources in one place.

Those are a few of the many tools I use in my everyday life to make things easier and more automated, and to absorb as much information as I can without really trying.

Today we started the course by reading other’s blogs, some where really cool with a great disingh, like the yellow duck, and others where kinda not related to what most is writting. I guess they took the no rules thing seriously.

After that Ken told us look some tools to learn more about. In the bening i was looking at the story of the gifs and how a big part was lost due to some galery website going down, but latter Ken show us some cool information about our browsers.

Google chrome as almost every browser is capable of saving your passwords, but this is not the safest way of saving passwords, so you can manage wich passwords chrome saves and wichones don’t. I personally don’t save passwords in my browser, but it is a cool tool to see what is already saved there. You just go to settings then advanced configuration and there is a section of passwords and formularies.

I’ll get to it… eventually… same as adding my #banana tags to all my posts..

Today we had a presentation of how we use the internet on two different “mindsets”, either as a “Visitor” or as a “Residents”.

• The “visitor” mindset is about using a website as a tool, to get something done and that’s it.
• The “resident” mindset is about being active on the website and actually produce content and interact with the other members.

Afterwards, we had a hangout with Autumm Caines, Bonnie Stewart and Sundi Richard about how to connect with people on similar interest using the internet.  Using a “map” to assign a category to each tool, we found out that not all people use social media the same way. As some people use Facebook for professional reasons, other use it as a totally personal tool. Same goes for Twitter. We also categorised other unexpected tools such as LMSs or Reddit.com.

We were encouraged to use other media types instead of just writing so what I did was interview a friend of mine, mechatronics engineer not very tech savvy, about whether which websites he used as a resident and/or as a visitor.

Here’s the short interview:
