So you can see that if you don't have your most important information in the top few lines and left-hand side, your reader may not get to what you want them to see. Our interest/attention span is pathetic! Good information here on the museum sites.

I agree (obviously) - if recreations were just as valuable as the original, why is there a market for fine art and antiques? Thanks for commenting!

]]> Comment on A Digital Immigrant Encounters Twitter by Kyle Roberts http://blogs.luc.edu/kmacica/2012/02/01/a-digital-immigrant-encounters-twitter/#comment-30 Kyle Roberts Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:55:16 +0000 http://blogs.luc.edu/kmacica/?p=44#comment-30 Love the picture of the analog immigrants! I think you raise a fascinating question about whether our native or immigrant status is an individual or community identity. One of the issues with Prensky is his binarism. Surely his categories, if they are at all useful, represent a spectrum of literacies and (as your reflection on the absence of acquaintances who likely have a social media footprint in Facebook, Google+, what have you) engagements. Just because some one grew up with digital based applications means they know how to use them - or want to use them! Great stuff. Love the picture of the analog immigrants!
