1. How has technology impacted my writing in this class? How has twitter etiquette impacted my writing? blogging? creation of a website? How has this affected the way I write? Broadened my concept or reinforced?
--I would say that my concept of writing has been broadened because of this course. I took Introduction to Writing Arts, and there was a twitter and technology module, but for some reason my view of writing hadn't changed. Once the course was over I stopped using my twitter and and I never looked at netvibes again. This semester, I've learned more about twitter and like it a lot more. I've learned about different genres and I love the creative license I have as a writer to be able to choose my mode of communication.
2. How has technology connected me or made me more mindful of my writing and/or place?
--I am more mindful of my place depending on my mode of communication. For example, when I use my website, I am more professional with my writing and tend to lean toward more sophisticated writing. Similarly, with twitter, I complain more openly (tehe) and am more upbeat, depending on the day. So, I've found that audience plays a large part in how I write.
3. How has technology impacted my identity construction?--implies that identity is something we create/ construct. Identity we have in class versus the website we have and comments on twitter. Are these different types of identities? Or is my identity consistent. Am I more active in my learning in class or at home?
--I would definitely say that I am a different person from my website, my twitter, and life. I think people can see more of my personality on twitter; I am more bold on twitter than I am in my life. Even though I may not speak up in class, I definitely think about and analyze responses to questions in my mind.
--As stated previously, my website is more professional.
