New Literacy Tools - Reflection

My strengths:

• I feel like I usually pick up on how to use new literacy tools fairly quickly, since I have a lot of experience with some of them.
• I really like incorporating multimedia into things, like one might do with a multi-genre research project, so tools like Blogger and Glogster suit my communication style.
• I have a particular interest in exploring new literacies as a teacher and as a learner.

New literacy tools as a learning aid: 

• New literacy tools help us communicate more effectively when we are not communicating in person. E-mails and phone calls would likely fall short in comparison.
• The tools also help us share not only our ideas, but relevant resources, videos, etc. This helps us not just talk with one another, but actually engage with one another.
• Tools that allow us to do things like annotate each others' videos aid us in our ability to support each other's learning.

Question: 

• What do you think your biggest struggle will be with using the new literacy tools this semester?
