[Knobel, M., & Lankshear, C. (2007). A new literacies sampler. New York: P. Lang. Chapter 4, New literacies and social practices of digital remixing.]
In this Chapter, the author addresses that culture is created by remixing of individuals. I find the idea of how remix things in our everyday lives serve as a primary source of culture creation very compelling. For that reason, he suggests not to absorb new ideas but to write and give out opinion about it. Until now, I have looked at the word, culture, something very foreign and distant. This article provided me with a different perspective to view it. Even at this moment, I believe I have been contributing something to the culture that we are living in now.

Until I got a chance to read this article, I was not aware of how advancement in technology could impact on a field like in a dance. I always carry this image of technology as an object or tool and often forget social media platform is part of technology. So it was refreshing for me to define the range of technologies and how it smeared into our lives without even realizing it.
Frazel, M. (2010). Digital storytelling guide for educators. Eugene, Or.: International Society for Technology in Education. Chapter 3: Digital Story Production.
This article shares a guide for digital storytelling and provides a very detailed explanation for educators. It even gives details of how to address children who already know how to deal with digital devices. I immediately realized that the process of using a digital project at any moment is not a new learning process that we must learn, but it will become something very natural. For this reason, to not be left behind as an educator, I realized that I should always have an open-minded attitude toward new technologies.
