Hey! How are you? Rhetorical question don't worry, although I bet you answered that in your head anyway, didn't you.

Anyway, this is the first time I have ever looked at a blog page let alone writing my own. Talk about being thrown in the deep end. Bare with me and more importantly pray with me that my mandatory primary school swimming lessons pay off!

The past two weeks have been a real eye opener because to be honest, I never thought I was bad with technology. I mean I have always had a smart phone, used Facebook and Instagram more than I change my socks, watch my lectures online, surf the internet and participate in a more than normal amount of online shopping. Yet, it was not until this unit that made me second guess myself. It made me realize there is so much more to knowing technology than just using it. For example: I made my mother dearest a Facebook account and left it at that, assuming she would know how to use because I know how to use it. Next thing you know she had randoms all over the place adding her and sending her viruses because she had not updated her privacy settings. I connect this example with the unit as we discuss digital citizenship because as a future teacher, I have to not only have the knowledge of how to use, structure and participate in the online world but also how to avoid the nasty side, how to create a censorship to protect my students and guide them, as it is clear the self-autonomy of today's world  is not always as high as we would like!

Well, that has been my two weeks! Before I baffle on to much, its time to do my topic three readings. wish me luck!!

Blog you soon. (see what I did there)
