Good afternoon! My name is Sabina Eng and I'm a Communications and Events Manager at the ICAA. So far, the readings and videos from Module 1 have been interesting. Dr. Masullo’s main findings on Twitter resonated with me. My friends use it to communicate and reach out to others. It’s quick and easy. We’re always able to find the whereabouts of our favorite local food trucks. The Common craft video was a stellar resource for basic information about Twitter. I will be passing this along to friends who want to know more about the social media channel. Did you know provided some facts and stats that were new to me. I was pleased to read that the mobile device would be the “world’s primary connection tool”; since my phone is like one of my besties. The Machine is Us made some thought-provoking points. Information is available in abundance at an accelerated rate. It’s challenging, exciting and overwhelming!
Thanks for sharing Sabina. Actually I recently downloaded an app that tracks Edmonton's food trucks.
You're right, that we can easily be overwhelmed with the amount of information because it's so easy to access however, just as always, I think that idea of critical literacy plays a key part: we look for information we need and we think about it's relevance, context and authorship (some examples).
I like your metaphor that your phone is like one of your besties!
