Digital Students

Site makeover coming soon!

Amy Goodloe — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 23:28:17 +0000

Students in my Spring 2012 section of WRTG 3035: Technical Communication and Design are going to work on a complete redesign of this site for their course project. Our goal will be to turn the site into a resource for all college students who want to develop their digital literacy skills.

I may close the site to members only while it’s under reconstruction, but the new and improved version will definitely be ready by May, 2012, if not sooner. Stay tuned!

Interesting but rather time consuming way to make a point!

Evernote for Transliteracy

Amy Goodloe — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 01:08:05 +0000

I just came across this presentation while looking for more cool things to do with EverNote. EverNote is quite possibly the most handy digital tool I’ve ever used, and I frequently recommend it to students, but until I saw this presentation, I hadn’t thought about how useful it would be to students who are working on research projects. The fact that you can share notebooks with other users makes it even more appealing.

Somewhat tangential comment: “transliteracy” is an interesting choice of terms, but I suspect it would be initially misleading to people who are into gender studies, as the “trans” evokes the word “transgender.”

Information Media and Digital Literacy

I came across this image a while ago and saved it on my computer, but I forgot to record where I found it, so I didn’t post it here. And then I forgot about it.

I just came across it again, so this time I’m including a link to the source. It’s kind of a nice visual representation of the various one-way and two-way relationships that happen between information, media, and participants in digital environments.
