Website Credibility

The website i chose was dihydrogen monoxide. After reading over this site and clicking on some links, I  would never use this site for credible content. The site overall was very poorly put together and the advertisements and SPAM made me wonder if i should even log on to them. This page is organizations website, because of it ending in org. I think that the orginization could of dont a better job to get there opinions out and facts heard. The content in the beginning tell the reader that they are not trying to persuade anyone to their side, but then in the very next paragraph they are talking about how they are correct and people need to help them out in the process. So it seems to be they are trying to persuade people  to there site. In the end, I am not very sure what the content is really talking about, but I still would never use this site for factual information. 

Edmodo and its beniefits...

I think Edmodo is a great idea for all students of all ages, because it helps them with there communication skills with one another through networking. The 11/12 year olds digital story was easy to follow and understand and went along with their story very well. Yes I would use microblogging tools and video conferencing, because it is very helpful with communication, socializing, and networking. The networking is a big thing now a days, becasue we all know that networking and technology is our future.

Writing/Edmodo

I believe the main basis of the kids changing there minds about writing is because they like to collaborate when they write. They also like how to recieve advice about their projects.

21st Century Writting

I agree that schools are not preparing students for the jobs of the 21st century, because anymore is all about computers and technology but there is still teachers ignoring technology and reading from a book. CONSTANTLY.Teachers are more worried about teaching out of a book then working on communication skills. Also test taking is a good example on how we prepare our students. For example, they are always section by section tests and not comprehensive. Life and everyday work is no in sections it's all about comprehensive.

:\ Obama :)

When Obama is sitting at his desk he looks serious, but in the same sense worried. This picture is cut off below the shoulders, so u can't see the the hands or fingers. You can however tell that the shoulders are shrugged tight, which makes you think that his hand are clinched in one another. His head is pondering and you can see that by his head cocked side ways and his eye are focused down. This picture is up close and personal, because you can see the concern on his face. His age is a middle aged man of the african native ethnicity. His clothing is casual and relaxed with his top button undone. He looks as if Obama is in a office, because you can see the books in the backround and you can tell he is sitting down. The camera angle in the photo is like I said earlier it is up close and personal.

When u look at the second photo it you can tell he is more relaxed by his walk and how is is walking as everything is ok. His eyes are open and walking with a smile as if someone told him good news about the oil spill. The distance is farther away and you can see is walk with convidence. The middle aged man of the african decent is wearing the same one button downed  dress shirt. The backround is on a ship at which was helping with the oil spill and he is walking away after it looks like he was delivered the good news. The angle of the camera was straight ahead and wide angled to see the environment around him.

Media and Traditional literacy

The only thing that I see that is similar between the two is that they both inform you of something. Media literacy will help to tell you about stereotypes and advertising about one another. Traditional lieracy consists of how it will help you in a positive way with internet/computer help.

It supports the critical media literacy by looking past media literacy and start to understand how they single out and emphasize certain subjects.
