blog 4

The blog by Keri Franklin really caught my attention. None of the teachers at Chico State print anything out any more, so I got a Kindle to save my self the hassle of printing out twenty pages a day. I spent at least the first week trying to figure out how to even use the thing.  Keri Franklin really put into words how it was to learn a new type of literacy that involves technology. She definitely was dealing with a type of social literacy, since twitter is a social media. It’s a way to communicate your ideas/feelings/thought/meals/actions/bodily functions with a big group of peers at the same time.  While most of the information that is tweeted into cyber space is useless and awkward, Franklin pointed out there are tweeters that have helpful information as well.  I especially liked the requirements for learning a new genre that Keri wrote out.  They do not only help with learning twitter, but with learning to write any kind of new literature.
