I used various online articles to understand the new terminology and the different opinions on ideas I had. Online dictionary sources were helpful to learn the definition on new terms since sometimes words can’t be guessed based on surrounding words. The shorthand on both Twitter and Twitch had to be researched to understand not only what that shorthand or image represents, but also the history behind the words themselves. My meanings are not the only ones that are formed based on what I post on the internet, and I need to be aware of that, this was highlighted by the article for meaning-making. This extension of digital media makes media ever more complex to understand and participate in; by looking to improve understanding of how media is created you as a teacher will be far more prepared to teach in the digital age. By learning to use and find outside resources I as a future teacher will be able to show students how to look else where for information then encourage them to do the same in all aspects of their lives.
