For this post, I’ve responded to Dana’s blog post as seen below.
Hey Dana,
It was great hearing about your passion for the outdoors, and especially animal-habitat relationships. I think we can relate on the outdoors, coming from a Geography/CSC major!
I do notice your appreciation for blended learning, it can have lots of benefits when fostering collaborative learning and offering flexibility at the same time, I also appreciate being able to submit assignments online. I also can relate to your story with digital literacy, as I went through the exact same experience myself in my major – I had to build essential digital literacy skills to even submit my assignments. One strategy I had for that was to spend a certain amount of time at the start of each semester to figure out how to submit things and where/in what format, and it helped me a lot. I also related to your insight that digital content is permanent on the internet, so we should be careful.
Thanks!
