Hi everyone,
So this is finally the last week of school, except for exams of course, and I am so happy summer is almost here! Over the course of the term I learned so much in ADED about the digital world and now my brain needs a break.
The most beneficial aspect of ADED, in my opinion, was all of the useful tools that we were forced to utilize because it made me experiment with tools that I would have never tried before, and a lot of them actually turned out to be pretty neat. My PLE definitely grew over the duration of the class, and I will continue to use some of the tools I learned about, like Evernote.
The most important part of the class, I think, was learning about what makes a good and responsible digital citizen. ADED made me consider so many different things about the digital world that I had never thought of before. Even if they were simple things, such as trying to find photos that were eligible to be changed or copied. I believe that the most crucial thing that I learned, however, was when we did the mind map on digital rights and responsibilities. This activity really opened my eyes to the fact that the digital world has the same "code of conduct" or "laws" that the real world has and that people should be treated the same in both places. This is the part of the class that I will try to teach to others and try my hardest to abide by on all forms of social media that I use on a regular basis. I think that the easiest platform to get across lessons like this is on Twitter because Twitter has an easy potential to be used for more harm than good in today's society, and therefore, it would be really helpful for a good example, such as myself, to show good digital responsibilities.
Enjoy your summer,
Jesse
