In this assignment,
You will create a digital text detailing how you came to use technology in your life and in your field (i.e. Business).
What are your goals for using technology in your field (i.e. Business)?
Description
For this assignment, you have the opportunity to argue for a particular understanding of literacy by telling a literacy story and then justifying that story’s academic rigor.
Literacy narratives, as the Digital Archives of Literacy Narratives explains, are stories about reading (books, cereal boxes, music, websites, magazines, signs) and composing (letters, Facebook pages, songs, maps, blogs, papers) in any form or context. Literacy narratives often include poignant memories that involve a personal experience with literacy. Digital literacy narratives are the same kinds of stories told through the use of digital media (iMovie, Movie Maker, Sophie).
Academic rationales are writings written within the context of the academy, or the university. They invite something or someone—a given time, a particular phenomenon, a certain mood, a specific person—into the academy by framing that something or someone as complex, important, and worthy of rigorous study.
This assignment requires you to do four things:
1. Develop an understanding of literacy.
2. Compose a story which forwards that same understanding of literacy.
3. Digitalize your composition.
4. Explain, in writing, how your digital composition forwards your understanding of literacy.
