I can best sum up my experience in New Media New Literacies as compelling. In the beginning of the course, I had a lot of time to devote to this course because I had much more time available at school. However, as the course progressed, I saw myself devoting fewer hours to this course until I was only doing what was required. I didn't have the time to read everyone's post and respond, and there was a lot of really thought provoking material in our discussion posts as well as the blog entries.
I hope that I will have access to all of our course material for a while because I would truthfully like to be able to read through the posts while I am on Christmas break.
We did a lot of great work throughout this course, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome and the knowledge that I have gained in such a short time. This course has given me a new perspective when thinking about online communities and language. I guess I could be characterized as an old geezer when it comes to technology and what can be done with it. I learned a lot through my interview with an adolescent student. This course has given me a lot of insight through using this blog and posting projects to YouTube.
I really enjoyed the "Literacy Debate - Online, R U Really Reading" paper. My one regret with this course is that I didn't have enough time to really sink my teeth into the material or the work, but if I could have a mulligan, I would try to devote two or three days a week to this course in order to fully appreciate the comments and posts from others.
