I do believe that at times some are more prone to understand a certain type of literacy a bit easier, perhaps, than others may. And the world of digital literacy is no exception. Consider how some grasp learning a second language easier than others. Could the computer not be considered almost another language as well? Prezi for example, for me, is still a language I am learning. You were absolutely not alone in your unfamiliarity with this particular program-I wasn't even sure what it was until this semester and class. I have seen it before but thought that perhaps it was a part of PowerPoint that I was not yet familiar with. After all, that is the only presentation software out there right? Not hardly I'm sure; a fact I'm quickly learning as I'm finding my way through school again. The digital literacy world will constantly evolve and we will constantly be its students. A fact that I find both exciting and disconcerting-for as I find myself finally comfortable with one language, I discover that there is yet another that is still to learn. Or even worse, that version has now evolved. So will we ever stop learning, especially when considering this digitally charged world we are all now a part of? Probably not, but I am working on building my schema-one mouse click at a time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
