(week 2)
This week has certainly been a busy one and for me, working while in school can get really busy. But the content in this class is amazing, so we push on! All jokes aside I think this week has been extremely useful and beneficial for me now and in the future. There were a few things we did this week but I believe the main event was learning how to read laterally and tieing that into web literacy. Learning how to investigate a claim/image and get to the bottom of truth are some skills that I hope to improve on heavily. Knowing what sites to trust and what sites to use as tools to guild research are extremely important especially as time managers. Teaching myself about personal data tracking was also super intriguing, I went into it knowing a little but I never thought it went as deep as I found. There’s just too much out there to keep track of and in an ever growing world of technology it’s only going to get worse. If its this easy for companies to track, trace, and guild our habits than why would they ever stop, especially if they’re earning some cash off of it. AH, feels like so much to talk about but everything myself and my group have done can be found in this blog under Web literacy and Personal Data Tracking. As for a letter grade, I think this week is deserving of a high B+. I kept on my work and accomplished the tasks for my group that needed to get done, as well as keeping great communication with the team in my best effort to contribute and throw in my two cents. Overall it felt like a solid week and I’m ready for the weekend! 😂
