Salutations. I am Rachel, and to tell a little about why I have started this blog I would have to tell you the class that introduced me to this. Digital Communication Tools is a class that I signed up for last minute that I really don't mind. To start out, we learned that since the name is a mouthful, that we will refer to it as DigiTools. For digitools I'm tweeting, blogging, using Evernote to share notes, and things that will better my future in a technology ruled world.
Being born into a world with technology, I have earned the title Digital Native from professionals. No, this isn't an acheievement for a game on Xbox, its a title to say that I have been born into a community where teenagers text more than they talk, spend more time in front of a TV instead of a book, and well books are becoming digital too. If you didn't get my refrence to the Xbox, its because its another digital native thing.
As a student, I'm interested in technology, but I'm more into the arts. I can play a handful of instruments and I can use a paintbrush like an extension of my hand. But I can adapt though. I can create artwork on the computer through the handy drawing tablet; another digital tool; and I can edit whatever I play in programs specifically for music.
But look around you. Do you use traditional tools for your everyday hobbies? Or find yourself glued to a screen tapping away at keys for entertainment?
