As a daily user of technology, I hadn’t deeply considered what my posts and shares could also mean others than the way I saw it. Sharing a Halloween video with a few culturally appropriated costumes in it can be quite offensive when I went back to re-watch the video. Many things that I hadn’t thought to look at if not for the new lens introduced by these new forms of critical digital literacy. Being more aware in this day and age is only a boon to my online persona, awareness helps us be more respectful and mindful of what our actions do to others. Being a future teacher that awareness if critical to my job, and an important lesson for the future students to learn. While looking into this topic I found a very interesting Ted Talks about digital skills, it raised great points. Within the first thirty seconds the lecturer said that we are all global citizens that that is only becoming more true as time goes on.
