I went on wikipedia and started looking on Education sites. There are so many and I have not pinpointed what exactly I would do on education. I am back and forth on wikipedia and my blog. I created my account and just played around in wikipedia. I looked at recent changes on wikipedia and their were a few. I just assume that the information was always correct. And some how a bunch of scientist were updating the system. Wow now I am one of those scientist.


So I wanted to look at my topic which is hyper activity and I copy and paste some websties.

I think this should be very interesting project.

The presentation in class was great. I learned a lot about "smart mobs". I guess in the world of print I think the voting process can be classified as a smart mob(past and present). I remember post Obama, when you would wake up early or maybe on your lunch hour and go vote. And the voting was all done in one day, between certain time. But with the Obama campaign, they used the smart mob effectively. I signed up on my cell phone by sending a text to a number and they would send me out specific time and places where Obama would be. And on election day or before election day they would text you what the times were to vote and if we had any problems to contact them by text. The text would also tell you to go early because they were expecting long lines. This was for New Jersey so I guess they did this process all over America. And at the end of the day, they would send out a text message thanking you for voting.


So I would use this as a remediation of how we use to vote. I am sure that next election both sides would use this technique because it is very effective.


For the future I see more of the digital influence than print. Most newspapers say their sales have fallen downward. Most people get their information from internet or cell phone. And I see more local elections using the "smart mob" to get people out to vote.

My digital walls are breaking down. No matter where I turn I see something digital. In the grocery store when I buy food and most of the cashiers got fired and there is one left and her/his line is extremely long. Thank goodness I brought one of my children with me to help check out on the new automated system. Going to the bank to get some money or make a transaction, but I have to be there before 3pm if I want to talk to a human instead of my ATM machine. And of course, on the phone of any business, which is nerve racking. Sometimes I just keep hitting zero over and over again, but now the company realizes this and say “sorry you have hit an incorrect number”. I guess the joke is on me now. It may sound as if I dislike the technology that we are in but I don’t sometimes I just want to talk to a human. Sometimes I just want to hear a voice, see a smiling face, and shake a hand. I don’t think that is too much to ask. I like no I love my cell phone. I love that I can go on the internet anytime and check my email. I like that I can go on my children’s school web page and pull up their grades daily without having to talk to a teacher, but if I want to talk to a teacher I can leave an email. I like that freedom and flexibility that the digital world brings. As a writer it is much more difficult. Surprisingly, this is my first writing assignment that I did not print first. I did, however, do my outline in print, but I am taking a huge jump by typing the body before writing it. I was not always this adventurous with my digital life, it has and is a challenge but I am willing to work at it, hence the Cyberspace class.


Suzanne Armstrong Literacy/Technology Narrative 2/19/09 Final Draft

This digital change is necessary now because of the classes I am taken and the overwhelming need to go DIGITAL. It is part of my world now and I must adapt.
I remember my first experience with writing for me was at age 12. Yes, I learned to write in elementary school, but I mean the freedom of writing for myself and it was a wonderful feeling. The ability to take a pen to paper, write down what ever you are feeling or what is on your mind is a freeing experience. Yes, typing is good, but writing to me seems more personal. To me writing is more intimae than typing. It was challenging time in my life when my writing became my lifesaver. Writing saved my life when my parents were going through a Divorce. My writing represented peace, comfort and constant during a time in my life where there was no peace, no comfort, and now consistency. Writing consoled me during my parents divorce by just being there. No matter what time of day as long as I had a pen and paper, I had a friend.
But even before my parents divorce I still don’t remember them reading to me or teaching me to write. That job fell to my aunt ( my mother’s baby sister) and she gladly accepted that role. I do remember my Aunt Jem playing school with my sister and me. She was a tough teacher and would not let us go to sleep until we read from a book she chooses. My parent left her in complete control with us and she was drunk with power. But she did teach us to read and do math. Aunt Jem was 12 or 13 years old at the time she was our teacher. I remember having all the Dr Seuss’s books.


Suzanne Armstrong Literacy/Technology Narrative 2/19/09 Final Draft

The one book I read and loved was Charlotte’s Web. I loved the spider and the different names she would create for Wilbur so the farmer would not kill him. “Amazing” and “Wonderful” are just a few of the names I remembered.
After my elementary school years, reading just became a job. I read for projects, tests, school but not for fun. My Aunt Jem’s school was during the summer because during the school year she had her own school work to do and my sister and I loved that. I called my aunt when I had to do this and we just laughed. She lives in Florida now and is an Executive at Chase Bank. She told me she was happy to be an aunt and wanted her nieces to know most of the work when we attended school. I know she did it out of love but back then it seems like torture. But on the phone I THANKED her for loving us so much as to teach us the basic foundation for my life of literacy (reading, writing, and math). In my aunt’s case teaching was not a “Thankless Job”.
Everything we did was non-digital. There was no digital when I was in school. There was only print. When I moved from Brooklyn to Piscataway, I wrote letters to my friends or family. Sometimes at night I would call, but calling was very expensive. You see there was local, regional, and long distance calling and the rates were high. So my father said “if you have to talk to anybody from Brooklyn just write”, and stamps were just 25cents. I remember our first month in Piscataway and we (my sisters and I) missed our friends so much that we ran up a 900.00 phone bill. My father yelled so much that he lost his voice. I can tell you that never happened again, and the mailman became our friend.

Suzanne Armstrong Literacy/Technology Narrative 2/19/09 Final Draft

When my friends got together we talked about boys. And who was cute, who was dating who, who was pregnant, and about fashion. I could only see my friends when my father went to his mother’s house in Brooklyn. That was once every 2 months. But sometimes my Dad said “you guys need to spend time with your family and tell your friends you will see them next visit”. When we were with my family it was a lot of old people talking about the olden days ( I guess now my kids would say the same when me and my family gets together). Both with my friends and family we just sat and talk and eat and just have a good time with one another. We enjoyed each others company, but if we were at my Aunt Pat house there is no tv in her living room. Juts this Christmas we/the family were complaining that she should put in a tv, but she says “you come to visit (talk to her) not watch tv.”
This non-digital experience made me a better communicator. I knew when to listen and when to talk. I would see gestures and learn social cues. I feel some of these qualities are list in the digital world.
My first digital experience was a job after high school and I was a receptionist. I am laughing just thinking about that job. I was maybe 19 years old, I am not sure, anyway I worked for Kelly Agency and they sent me to Dean Witter or Morgan Stanley, which is a Brokerage firm. This office was in Somerset, New Jersey. So they put me on the front desk and my job was to answer the phone with the thousands of buttons.


Suzanne Armstrong Literacy/Technology Narrative 2/19/09 Final Draft

Yes a thousand buttons, and I was suppose to say “GOOD MORNING DEAN WITTER, HOW MAY I HELP YOU”? But I would say “GOOD MORNING DEAN WITNER, HOW MAY I HELP YOU”? It got so bad that on one phone call the person calling had to tell me the correct pronunciation of the company I was answering the phone for. You could imagine, Dean Witter told me not to come back. That was so funny I just could not get that name out the right way. And I did not even get a chance to do any data entry. I was so busy with the phone calls I did not do any work on the computer. At Kelly Agency you had to train for the positions you wanted, and I was a good data entry person. So that was my first experience with the computer. It should have been at Dean Witter, but it was at Kelly Agency. I love telling that story because no one expects you to train for the phones.
My digital familiarity came from my jobs I held. Most people did not have a computer at home and at the job you were being trained on the computer. I remember working at AT&T and the monitor was so big and the screen small and green. There were only one or two people on the computer and it ran so slow. All you could do was enter information in this object that looked like a tv. Even with my digital introduction, I still kept my print life and digital life separate.
With my cell phone now how I interact with my friends and family is completely different. I just text with the ones younger than me and use the phone with the ones older than myself but when I text I forget and write or spell the whole word out.

Suzanne Armstrong Literacy/Technology Narrative 2/19/09 Final Draft

Texting is ok but I like talking on the phone. I mostly text with my children and my sisters, but with my Aunts, Grandmother, Father I use the phone. My younger sister is still trying to get me on my space. I told her just this weekend did you hear that they shut down 99,000 child predators on my space. And her comment was “you are not a child”. I said, “I know I am not a child, but I don’t like opening myself to the world”. She says she uses it for her business (Real Estate), but I am not comfortable with that yet.
I read on the computer for school. Sometimes if I am going out I print and read the material when I am out. Most of my digital experience is from school. My personal life just has the cell and some email. When winter break or spring bread or summer time comes around I don’t get on the computer at all. I only use it for school. My kids are trying to convince me to get a laptop, but that is big step for me.
I still like reading and writing in print. I like holding the book and not feeling confined to one set place ( but a laptop would fix that). I love putting pen to paper. I like seeing the page curl upwards after I write on the complete page. And sometimes when I write a lot my hand hurts. Like I said earlier this is my first paper that I am writing on the computer first and not print first. I did not my outline on paper. Its ok for example, I don’t have to erase or draw a line through a word, sentence, or paragraph. But my wrists hurt from typing so much.
Most of my experience is print. The little digital experience I had is from school. I had to buy an ebook for my history class and I think that was a ripe off. It was here at Kean and the book was only good for one semester and it was $120.

Suzanne Armstrong Literacy/Technology Narrative 2/19/09 Final Draft

That was highway robbery. If I were to by a text it would be good for as long as I have the book. But the bad thing about buying a school book is that you pay $100 for it at the beginning of semester and when you want to sell it back at the same book store it is not worth $25, and then you see it on the shelf the following semester, used for $60. It’s all a scam.
I am still learning the technology of the time. Now if I had to write a paper I would probably do my draft on the computer first, so that has changed. Work and school yes, that has changed, but socially no I am not ready yet.
Reflection
Looking over what I wrote about digital or print, and I see may pattern as willing to learn. There is an improvement in digital when it comes to space saving and a more effective writing pattern. But as for reading I like holding the book in my hand. As a writer I see and will use the computer as a positive tool, but as for reading I think I will stick with my books in hand.
My parents divorce is an experience that enhanced my relationship to writing. I think I will still keep my journal as paper but assignments I will use digital. I still see the reluctance to change when it comes to personal things. Like my journal and personal writings. I still have a protective nature when it comes to my deep writing or writing for myself.


Suzanne Armstrong Literacy/Technology Narrative 2/19/09 Final Draft

I love to write. It is so freeing to me. It allows me to say, be, or do what ever I feel with no consequences. May be one day I will let others read it but for not is by me and for me only.
My personal writings will be done on print for now and I don’t see myself changing but I will keep an open mind.
But I still see the lack of intimacy I have with the digital world. I use it because I have to and not because I want to. Hopefully, in the years to come that will change.

Maybe I will write about the difficulities in educating to the Hyper Attention generation. It is becoming increasingly hard to teach to students who loose attention so quickly. When I sub- teach in the 1st to 4th grade classes the students are always looking for something to keep them entertained but this is the classes you set the foundation of reading, writing, and math especially in the first grade. We do want the children to be computer literate but what about reading and writing literate. The things you attain in the class room are the things a computer can not give you or teach you. The basic penmanship, encoding, decoding, phonics and show the connection of all skills to make you a stronger student. And as a teacher you want the children to be interested in the subject. I do not want to compete with a computer.

Just yesterday my kids said "mom you should go out more" I said "after all the things I do during the week (chauffeuring you and your sister to different events, going to school myself, cooking, cleaning, doing homework, keeping my marriage interesting, do you really think I want to add something else on my plate? So on the weekends I just want to stay home and get some me time." they said "that's boring" and I said " why do you guys feel the need to be entertained all the time and why does that mean boredom"? I said "I just like to soaking in the tub for an hour and hear my thoughts. I just like being alone". My kids equate being alone as being bored and that is far from the truth. This is just one example of the younger generation believing that there must always be a stimulus. Another example, is that I have to keep reminding them that dinner time is family conversation time. We can't eat together every day but a least 3 times a week and a must on Sunday. But even though they know this, I still see a psp or cell phone in handwhen coming to the dinner table, and I have to say turn it off. I want them to know the importance of talking and listening and learning physical gestures when people talk and looking at someone when they speak. I value that just having a good conversatation, and I feel that is being lost with this digital generation. I adjust also, I play video games with them (Grand theft auto is to busy for me, but I do like the football and basketball but I love pacman). So I share in the transition. I just don't ask them to change, I try to change also.

This is one of many problems I see with Hyper Attention always having stimulus. Deep attention also has its disadvantages (as the article states). With deep attention it is hard to be flexible and in this time you must be flexible.

Both Hyper and Deep attention has its advantages and disadvantages.

I dont know what I will post on Wikipedia, when I look at the website its a dictionary and encyclopedia all wrapped up in one. I would include some ways to lessen the generational gap between digital and print in the house like JUST TURING OFF THE COMPUTER. I am still thinking about what else I want to put on their. It would have to connect to hyper and deep attention.

The Sampling "the New" in New Literacies article was a good read. I liked how the article started with the basics of Literacies. I mean to show us what the basic meaning is thought to be (pg 2) "If we see literacy as "simply reading and writing" -whether in the sense of encoding and decoding print, as a tool, a set of skills, or a technology, or as some kind of psychological process - we cannot make sense of our literacy experience. "Reading (or writing) is always reading something in particular with understanding". The understanding is what I look for in a student because that shows me they get it. They can take that basic information and build on it, or strech it and they can do that because they understand it. They took that reading, writing and the understanding and it evolved. Just like the internet which was first used by our government for military purpose and because others understood it, it evolved. Today the internet is so many different things for example, who would of thought 10 years ago that kids would rather text than talk on the phone. That you can make a date with someone you never met. Talk with some one clear across the world. I am inspired with this article.


I also liked the part on Discourse (pg 3). It shows the importance of social influence, which is the primary discourse "is how we learn to do and be (including speaking and expressing) within our family (or face to face intimate) group during our early life. And than the secondary discourse, which is "(and we each have many of these, although they differ from person to person) are those we are recruited to through participation in outside groups and instituations, such as schools, clubs, workplaces, churches, political organizations, and so on". As an Education major we are taught to examine and direct the shaping of these clusters in the class room to better educate the children. For example, as a teacher I might place a honor roll student with a student who is having problems in my class or I would have my students work in groups to pull their resourses and work as a team after my lecture. This shows the importance of the social element in influence a positive learning experience in the class room.


Another interesting part of this article is the Mindset table (pg 11). I would find myself in the mindset 1 table. Because when I was in school we steered to individual learning. There were no group learning experience in my past. It was completely individual work. This experience was good and bad. The bad was that you trusted no one and you learned to depend on only yourself in school. Maybe this is why I can't see myself on myspace or facebook. Because I don't trust meeting someone that I can't physically see. Who knows I am still working on that. The good is that I learn to be self-reliant. Now the mindset 2 is my kids. They are either on the computer or cell texting or im their friends or playing video games with some one in a different country. In school they learn to work together and share ideals. It's more of a team atmosphere at home, play, or in school. I like it but I try to teach them to learn to spend time with themselves. It is good to know and love yourself. I teach them to be balanced. I like that they meet different teens, but it is also important to know and love yourself first. They are also teaching me to be more digital and so when I want to send them a message I text it or email it, but sometimes I leave a voice message.


I also notices the Web1.0/Web 2.0 (pg 16). I think its up to Web 5.0 now? I remember using netscape to get information. I also remember friends putting up webpages, and now we blog. The mind is a wonderful thing and as an educator the possibilities are endless and I like that and that is why I enjoyed reading this article.

I read over the reading list and so far I have the best of 3. First is the "Hayles, Hyper and Deep Attention". I like this one because I am a mother and my 15 year old and 13 year old does everything so fast. They grew up with a computer in the house, because I got a computer before they started school. And they know so much, the way they process information is scary. My kids both can process information quickly. It is like their brains run like the computer. And they both talk very fast. When ever I have a conversation with them I have to ask them to repeat what they say several times. So by reading this article it may help me better understand how the computer influence the way their minds process information. I on the other hand was not raised with a computer and I think every thing over completely. Maybe that is the wrong word my mind processes information, not like a computer. I don't know, but it is very interesting to see the differences in the way we process information. They (my kids) are always telling me to speak faster. It seems like they loose attention quickly. And that leads me into Deep Attention.


I can't say they don't have Deep Attention because they are advanced students. So that has to show deep attention. And they can pay attention to so many things at once. I was raised to do one thing at a time and it would be done well, but is that saying still true? It is really a generation gap. The information they know now is what I was learning in 11 or 12th grade. I don't mean the education information but the LIFE information. The amount of information that is available to our children is a hard pill to swallow. But I try to keep the communication open. So these are just a few reasons I am interested in the previous topic but options are still open.

Wickipedia is a good reading also. I remember having those big encyclopedias in my home growing up. It is so much easier to go on wikipedia than storing and looking through those books.

Another reading I was looking at was the Electronic Literature, but that seems a little confusing to me. I think it is books or a summary of books to read. It was colorful but I don't know. It is a shaky top 3.


I have a few interesting readings to choose from and no mattter which one I choose I have to add the change from when I grew up and used only print to now where most things are digital. I have to add I just love my cell phone. It frees up a lot of space in my bag.
