Self Assessment,[object Object],Alison Resnick,[object Object],	      April 7th, 2011,[object Object]
What does it mean to be technologically literate?,[object Object],It’s more than just being able to use a computer, cell phone, or other piece of technology.,[object Object],Moore describes it just that. It is more than knowing how to use a certain technology.,[object Object],He states that we have to:,[object Object],Identify the technologies we need relevant to the task at hand,[object Object],Understand how to use those technologies and work them,[object Object],Understand what the technology is used for and the inner workings of them,[object Object]
How can I prove that I am technology literate?,[object Object],Technology has always been in my life since I can remember. Cell phones, computers, and iPods are just some of the technologies that have been and still are current in my life.,[object Object]
Recently, media sites are becoming more and more popular. ,[object Object],In late 2009, I joined the new and upcoming website called Twitter.,[object Object],Twitter is a social media site that consists of “tweets” that are 140 characters or less,[object Object]
Looking at the surface, Twitter is seen as a basic social networking site.,[object Object],On Twitter, there is the ability to write freely, such as posting a “status update” on Facebook.,[object Object],You can follow other people such as friends or celebrities, people can follow you, and there is the ability to DM those both who you follow and follow you. ,[object Object],It is used as a way to get short, quick messages out. But the question is, can it be more?,[object Object]
When I first joined Twitter, I was already completing one objective of Moore’s three points.,[object Object],Point 1 - Identify technologies relevant to a task.,[object Object],When I had joined Twitter, I was looking for a way to connect with other people with similar interests to me. ,[object Object],Why not just stick with Facebook? I wanted to expand my horizon to more than just people I knew. ,[object Object],On Twitter, you have the option to find people similar to you by searching.,[object Object],That very tool feeds that need. If I searched music tons of different results would appear.,[object Object]
I would get tweet results..,[object Object]
People results…,[object Object]
And the option to expand that to tweet with links and tweets from people near me.,[object Object],By Twitter offering me these needs, I can find whatever I want to and therefore find the people with similar interests that I want to connect to.,[object Object],I am meeting one of Moore’s needs by proving my technology literacy and ability to navigate Twitter’s interface to search for my needs. ,[object Object]
Another one of Moore’s points are understanding how to use those technologies and work them .,[object Object],Moore says “…that technology literacy should not be thought of as a isolated set of skills, but as an essential strategy for most learning objectives. “,[object Object],Some may see Twitter as a platform just for micro blogging (the 140 character texts), but there are more skills and tools from Twitter than can be utilized to increase it as a platform to be used as a learning tool.,[object Object]
On Twitter, you have the ability to ..,[object Object],See what users are “similar to you” which is also known as Twitter’s way of saying who to follow,[object Object],See what are trending topics. That is also known as what phrases or hash tags are being tweeted about the most at that current moment.,[object Object]
You can see..,[object Object],Who are following your tweets,[object Object],You also have the ability to “favorite” your tweets. It’s a way to keep your favorite or important tweets in one place without having to scroll back through all of them!,[object Object]
The last of Moore’s objectives for being technological literate is,[object Object],To understand what the technology is used for and the inner workings of them,[object Object]
The interface of what Twitter is about, and the point of the final objective, is clear when you first log on to the Twitter homepage.,[object Object],It gives you a clear perspective of what Twitter is about before you even log in, by the way they present the idea of Twitter.,[object Object]
The interface of Twitter.,[object Object]
Just by looking at the homepage you see the following,[object Object],What kind of people are using the website: “Who’s Here”,[object Object],What things people are talking about: Top Tweets,[object Object],What’s popular on Twitter at the moment: Trending Topics,[object Object],The ability to find a specific need: Search Bar,[object Object]
Overall, is my proof of being technological literate similar to the way I perceive it versus how Moore describes it?,[object Object],Before I read about Moore, I though being technological literate was having the ability to use and navigate different forms of technology.,[object Object],Now, I see it in a different light!,[object Object]
Moore says …,[object Object],“What is required to be technologically literate depends on the performance task.”,[object Object],That very quote covers my exact thought of what it takes to be technological literate now. It depends on what the user is searching for in the platform and what the platform has to offer  that suites those needs.,[object Object]
So, am I technologically literate? Yes, I think I am!,[object Object],Twitter is a good representation of that proof. To be truly literate and understand that technology, you need to understand more than just how to use it. I have identified what Twitter has to offer as well as how it works in ways more than just what I need.  ,[object Object],To me, that is being technologically literate!,[object Object]
