Introduction

My name is Alicia and I am studying a Bachelor of Primary Education at Australian Catholic University. This reflective blog is associated with the COMM140 unit of semester 2.

I have created this reflective blog to express my personal views on technology and the impact technology has on humankind. I will also explore what ethical issues can arise surrounding the use of technology through driving questions that have been posed throughout the lectures and tutorials of the subject COMM140.

In my first blog post “Do Digital Native’s exist?” I explore the difference between a Digital Native and Digital Immigrant and outline the key differences between the two.

In my second blog post “To tweet or not to tweet” I explore the positive and negative impact that tweeting can have on your digital footprint. I also discuss the importance of thinking before you tweet and give examples of “good” and “bad” tweets.

In my third blog “An understanding of how technologies impact on the way humans communicate and the ethical issues that surround these changes” I explore a timeline of communication tools that were used in the 1900’s compared to the 21st century and what ethical issues can arise through current technology and communication between people.

In my fourth blog, with constructive criticism from my peers I will rewrite either my 1st or 2nd question with alterations based on their ideas.

In my fifth blog I will show you two of my peers blogs with a paragraph of constructive criticism from myself.

Happy reading!
