recycle, reduce and reuse

recycle, reduce and reuse

Wow, at the least I think this is going to be interesting…this is NOT a disclaimer!

It almost almost like not knowing how to recycle or what recycling is, everyday you just keep throwing away useful and valued information with nothing gained but over filling and already full trash can. When a sponsorship pops in the picture and shows how to separate you ideas and where the proper places are to put them. All of a sudden your like damn that was easy, aluminum goes here and all of a sudden it has a $-value of blank. But instead your reward is not in a currency form of cash but instead the reward is your feedback which can be almost instantaneous or almost non existent if you mix up the way(s) you deliver your questions/opinions to your given audience. Very similar to mixing your plastic with your other recyclables, its considered a dirty recyclable and you hardly get and profit from you hard work. As Keri found out first hand about social media,

“I feared that I would do it wrong. Reading other people’s tweets made me realize that there was a lot I did not know. I wondered about the symbols and the language? What was the # for? Why the @?”
        Kinda of a hard reach comparing cans, plastic bottles, glass bottles and cardboard boxes etc, but when properly put/separated into the right systems of process this “trash is anothers treasures” your now a happier individual now that you learned how easy the process was. I guess it the basic idea that the tree of knowledge is right in your reach for your own ideas to efficiency flourish and grow from healthy diverse feedback , most useful way to engage your colleagues or just get some positive pointers from a hash tag, twitterdeck or whatever form your ideas are delivered “conversations and threads emerged.”

               One of the big difference with sponsors for print based literacies, its almost comparing one dimensional plan to a three dimensional! He/She teaches you what tools you need for a good foundation to start, basically several styles to get your circulating your ideas. These concepts might not be as familiar to you, but is suitable for individuals who want to progress in our capitalistic society to have networking skills. Honestly in some ways print based literacies are becoming a outdated mode of communication, especially in developed nations. Your ideas cant grow and flourish as efficiently when they limited to being trapped in a paper only with limited availability/access! “The uses and networks of literacy crisscross through many domains, exposing people to multiple, often amaglamated sources of sponsoring powers, secular, religious, bureaucratic, commercial and technological.”(Brandt) Its our next progression of learning to communicate more efficiently in our modernizing on global platform, you either learn the skills necessary to survive or you get left behind. Yet both print and digital literacies strive for a familiar goal, of getting you in touch with the tools you need for success through the experience of learning.

“Most important, write so you make mistakes. “\Be open to sharing those mistakes. Experience the feelings that come with those beginning moments and experience the feelings of success. Share that with students.”(Keri)
