I find this piece very interesting because the author outlines the process of learning a new literacy in a way I can understand and relate to. I used a very similar process when I joined twitter. Unfortunately my user name for all social media, to this day, is a result of my 14-year-old awkward sense of humor (see title). Anyways, I really should change that…please don’t look my twitter up.

This blog was a really good example for me to relate the things we’ve talked about in class to the abstract idea of literacy. Franklin gives very clear examples of sponsorship, tools, and learning a new form of literacy. I like that she shared her experience about struggling to learn the conventions of this type of writing. Her learning experience simplified the concept of a student learning traditional essay conventions for me.
