Weekly Report & Reflection Post #8



This week was the first time I've encountered the wiki tool, and I'm not sure if I enjoy it more than Google Docs. I like that with Google Drive I am able to have all of my applications under one account, and being required to make a new account for wiki adds another password that I have to remember. Currently I would still say that Google Docs is my favourite tool for develop material in a collaborative way. 

Digital Rights and Responsibilities Concept Map


Looking more deeply at the digital rights and responsibilities we all have was eye opening! The internet is such a large media landscape that people have endless opportunities to access information. This access to information can be extremely useful, when it comes to things such as education, but must be used with caution. Not all individuals on the internet have been made aware of the ownership laws put in place on digital content, but thats where digital literacy plays a huge part! Individuals must be taught early on in their technology use how to appropriately utilize the information they consume. It is important to be wary of information you find, because not all of it is correct. This means that taking the information you find and verifying it with other sources is a large part of research. 


This week while exploring my Feedly Reader I found an awesome article from the New York Times food blog on 8 Recipes for Now. Having not much cooking experience of my own, I have been forced for the last 4 years to fend for myself. You might think that I would have developed some creativity in the kitchen over those 4 years, but I guess cooking isn't my forte. So in any case, I have linked the post to inspire all of you for your next meal (yes cookies can be a meal). 

Enjoy!
