Digital Literacy 350 word thing
Digital Literacy is the ability to effectively and critically navigate, evaluate and create information using a range of digital technologies. It affects my everyday life because I use digital literacy every day. If it wasn’t for digital literacy I would not be able to contact my mom and dad and have less communication with my friends. Knowing how to use technology helps me and other people because I can help others how to use technology. Technology is a useful tool. We wouldn’t be where we are if it wasn’t for technology. Teenagers would be very different without the use of technology. You can contact anyone who is in touch with the internet. You can even meet people who live in another continent! For example, if you need to talk to your mom who lives in Oregon you attend college in Miami you can face time her or call her. One thing I learned on digital literacy is how to upload a video on YouTube, how to use snap chat, and search for hotels on trip advisor. I will probably upload videos the most out of all the new technology I learned. Then I will use snap chat for my friends at the boring times. I also learned to stay appropriate using digital literacy. If you want to apply for a job, having a bad reputation on the internet can affect that in a negative way. The best way to make sure you won’t have to worry about what’s in your twitter, instagram, etc. is to just not use them. You are doing an excellent job at what you are doing. I am having a blast in this class so far. The way you run the class is fun. I hope to have more classes with you in the future. =)

Digital Access
Digital Access by rmahey96 on GoAnimate
Digital Access is the use of technology and how frequent you use technology. A seventh grade student probably has less digital access than a post-graduate buisiness man. You might have more digital access than other students. For example, you can have a phone with twitter and messaging and another student might not have a phone.
This has a small effect on my life. Personally, I feel like I don't over-use my use of technology use. I know people who post tweets and pictures like no tomorrow. I feel like this damages the brain. Without their digital access, they would definetly be less happy. If they have never used technology excessively, they would be a lot closer to everyone they see everyday. I see people's faces when I walk the hallways and they're mostly on their phone or just keep walking like they don't want to make a freindship. After all, we are only seeing eachother for 4 years out of the 60 something years we're expected to live for.
The Digital Divide in education is techonlogy in schools for education. Schools are debating on using digital access inside classes for educational purposes. This might get over-ruled probably because all students will not follow rules and will go on other webistes in class.
Digital Divide has a small effect on me because I can learn with a whiteboard. If I have to use the internet for school work I can go on the laptop or desktop at my house. I don't need internet in school.
Digital Divide has an effect on my school because the people who don't have digital access are left out of the technology world. If they hear their friends talk about twitter or instagram they'll feel confused and have low self-esteem.
