Good afternoon bloggers,
This week I was introduced to several pod cast and screen casting tools in order to create my very own web cast. For more details on which tool I used and to listen to my pod cast, check out my page called "Podcast." Living in today's world involves living in a digital environment as well. Because of this, we have an obligation as digital citizens to take care of this environment. We are truly privileged to have access to hundreds of different tools in order to create a diverse and creative digital environment, but at the same time there comes an enormous amount of responsibility on our end as users. In my opinion, everything starts with communication. Communication is an extremely key aspect of digital citizenship because that is what the digital environment is based on. Everything you see online is a communication of some sort, whether it is a thought, idea, process, etc. Following communication, there are many different responsibilities we have on HOW to properly communicate with each other. We need to really have a good idea on what type of communication is right or wrong, and how to seriously avoid situations evolving into cyber bullying. I have had experiences working with others in my class on projects without even meeting my classmates in person. This is a great example where cyber manners really comes into play. Communicating with each other allowed for us to stay on the same page, and work efficiently to complete our goals. SoundCloud has made me realise all of this, and is definitely a tool I am adding to my PLE.
This week, NBA history has been made! I'd like to share with you an article called Kings' Sim Bhullar embracing place in NBA history. This article explains how Sim Bhullar is the first player of Indian decent to ever be signed to an NBA team. Why I personally like this article is because, Sim is actually also Canadian! Sim comes from an Indian family who moved to Canada when he was very young. It's great to see the success of those from our great country, and truly proves that you can do anything as long as you set your mind to it. Give it a read!
