I'm back for my second blog post of the week! I am excited to talk about an article of interest I had read and how it informed my learning as well as discuss what the RSS Feed Reader contributed to building my knowledge about digital literacy, responsibility, and citizenship.
Earlier this week in my previous blog post I talked about Feedly and how useful of a tool it is/could be in my learning and already it is turning out to be better then I expected. The articles it collects for you are extremely interesting and it actually provides articles/blogs that can be utilized for my education. One blog of interest I would like to share as it was very beneficial is written by Dr. Raul Pacheco-Vega and is titled Five strategies to get your academic writing "unstuck".
This blog is helpful with academic writing and can be useful in kick starting your mind into writing an academic paper. It outlines five strategies to get you mind and writing unstuck and in the groove of writing a paper. As writing academic papers are a large aspect of my academic career, this blog was very useful and I wanted to share it as I feel it may be able to assist my fellow peers! This blog informed my learning as it provided me alternative strategies I can apply to get me going on my academic papers. As someone who procrastinates and struggles with writing a well written paper, this article gave me ideas to better start and write my papers. After finding this article I realized just how many blogs/articles I can find on my Feedly that are similar or just as useful in academic career. I have been surfing Feedly and have already read countless articles and have bookmarked some for future reference for essays and just for general knowledge. Following this, I wanted to discuss what RSS feeds contributed to building my knowledge about digital literacy, responsibility, and citizenship.
What the RSS feed contributed to building my knowledge on digital literacy, responsibility, and citizenship was with reading a myriad of different blogs and articles, I was able to see how to act on the internet with proper netiquette. Seeing how my fellow peers and other authors wrote their blogs and articles, I have the ability to build on my own blogs and to be a digitally literate, responsible, good citizen on the internet. Feedly provides scholarly articles and blogs that are well written and are a good guide on how to write my own that are responsible and appropriate. They allow me to see what it takes to be a good citizen on the internet and what it is like and how to write papers that allow me to be digitally literate. As I continue in this course I hope to continue to build on this knowledge and become a better digital citizen. Hopefully my RSS feed continues to bring me interesting articles (which I know it will).
This is it for me this week, I will be back to write another blog so you'll be hearing from me soon!
All the best,
Jason Wilson
