Core 1, Part 1

With my experience growing up with digital literacy I would say I’m pretty strong at computer skills than the norm. I’m skilled more with the functional literacy side such as computer programs and the functions of day to day digital toys, as far as knowing how things work and the behind the scenes that is not my forte. If you were to ask me to set up a Nintendo or to fix anything on a computer I would be completely lost. I have more knowledge in the arts or the faces of the digital programs such as photoshop and facebook, or even how to function every aspect of a digital camera or cell phone. At this point I am mainly content with my skills but If I was to improve on anything it would be to better understand how things work and more of the Critical literacy skills.
Another thing I’ve seen with my skills is that I’m better with the social types of digital accessories. Such as cell phones, fun internet programs, internet games, cameras, and other types of things that are mainly used for fun. My weaker points are the more complex software because I have less of a reason to use it such as Microsoft excel and video games. I would mainly put myself in the category of Functional Literacy because I am a user of technology. I don’t invent anything, I just use these digital programs as tools or for fun.
