Blog Post #1: EDCI 338 Introduction

Hi Darriush,

I really enjoyed reading your post! Your insights into how social media facilitates learning, particularly through platforms like YouTube, Reddit, and Discord, are very valuable. I completely agree that disagreements can mimic a classroom atmosphere, but I think a significant challenge is the lack of restraint in some online communities. Have you ever encountered misleading or biased information on these platforms? If so, how do you navigate it? It might be helpful to include specific strategies for filtering reliable sources.

Your discussion of personal learning and digital literacy is strong, but I think you could expand on how these skills play a role beyond evaluating digital reading sources. For example, coding platforms like Codecademy and LeetCode require not only technical skills but also an understanding of how to adapt one’s learning process. It would be great to hear how you manage that.

I also really appreciate your thoughts on digital identity, and you’re absolutely right that maintaining a strong online presence is crucial in the tech industry. Lastly, I appreciated your emphasis on ethical engagement online, particularly regarding proper citations and respect for digital communities. You highlighted the importance of responsible sharing, but I think your post could be even stronger if you included an example of a situation where ethical concerns arise in technical spaces.

Looking forward to your thoughts!
