Digital literacy & Me (Adela Popescu)

Here is my podcast
Reflections…
 It was a good exercise for me. This digital material made me think about changing. It made me think back, and noticed how I let myself changed over time by technology. Nothing stays the same, especially, in the digital era: things are changing, and we are changing with them. Listen to my podcast and see what I mean!
I used audacity to record myself, a great open-source tool that I am using frequently, and it never lets me down; audioboom.com also worked perfectly for my purposes -- very user-friendly for a first time user.The open-source tools, such as these, make the digital world  awesome(r): save time, money, and allow us to be experts from the comfort of our home.
Here is the community I’ve mentioned in my presentation, aquarius.net: http://aquarius.net/directory/

When I think of new media, I have this visual representation in my mind:



Lastly, the bird present in my audioboom profile picture is my quaker parrot, Bambi.

  1. Hi Adela, having just listened to your podcast, I was struck by the diversity of your digital participation - how cool is it that you belonged to an online community (whose purpose is to facilitate online connection) for translators (whose purpose it is to facilitate more traditional connection)! Facebook seems to be a boon for you; I'm so happy that you can keep in touch with your Romanian friends and family. Finally, I really appreciated the strong and assertive tone with which you spoke. Good on ya!
