I chose this quote because I truly believe it. I grew up in a world where technology was just making it's way to us. Therefore, I lived a childhood without computer aged social settings. I used to use the house phone with a cord connected to it. This is now almost unheard of. I used to call my friends and play outside with them. Now - kids are online talking, tweeting, instgramming, and doing no outdoors play. It is a great tool; however, it has definitely changed socially. We can now communicate with people all around the world. It is a great tool with so many benefits; however, there are some down falls for children.
I chose this image because it is literally exactly what we are saying here in this post. Digital technology has become such a change for social needs. It is always a great thing to become a much more social world. We can communicate with anyone in the state, country, and the whole world. It is a great social change for us.
1. What is the difference between an "essentialist" "traditionalist" or "autonomous" "perspective of technology and literacy and a New Literacy Studies of "ideological"perspective on technology and literacy? Which perspective do you adhere to? Why?
Essentialist is all about the ability of using technology, not in the way that it is used. Ideological perspective is about the abilities in which the social aspect is used. The social life is affected with the ideological side is used. I am all about the essentialist perspective. I adhere to this because we need to be able to use the abilities to use technology. I feel that literacy is made through the surroundings and families of people - not having it already.

The teacher used blogging to let her students post pictures for feedback. This allows the students to post comments, and they can use it for their own work. She uses quotes that inspire her, in hopes that she inspires her students. She also wants the students to stay organized, which is a great set of skills for students to have. She also supported the new literacy ways because she actively posts and expects her students to post as well.
