On Monday, I popped over to Aaron’s and Jennifer’s blog to find out what are their thoughts on the topic Digital Differences!
Illustrated in the Venn diagram below, we can see the 2 different approaches that Aaron and Jennifer uses.
Aaron’s
He evaluated himself against the different factors that cause the digital differences and further introduce a simple hierarchy inspired by Maslow to go in-depth into finding out what are the leading causes of the differences.
Jennifer’s
Provided statics from the research that was already conducted and pointed out the different factors that were derived from the analysis.
Both blogs also stated out a common thing that is affected by the digital differences, learning, which I missed out on my entry on this topic. Yes, comparing those with internet privilege, they can access information beyond their textbooks, while the unfortunate ones will have to rely on the sources available within their reach.
Reflecting back, I am blessed that Singapore is a first world country opening up to new technology (Have you heard about cashless plans? It is pretty impressive!) allowing us to learn beyond the textbook and connecting to people around the globe to expand our insights.
Below is a little drawing of what happened in week 1, I was introduced back to blogging, creating infographics and researching to support my stand. A little panicky about the 12am deadline but I am really looking forward to a brand new topic!
Ending my reflection with a quote that I adore from Dr Robert Schuller
“Tough times don’t last, tough people do”
Hang in there, earthlings! We are counting down 40 days to Christmas!
