Part 1: Prepare

In the realm of digital literacy and technology, I think I stand at a point that is slightly above average when it comes to knowing how to use technology and its various resources. When dealing with multimedia technology such as video games, cell phones, cameras, and laptops, I am very good at being able to figure out how to perform atleast the basic functions on each. However, I am also to usually use each item more than just for its basic programs. In the school-oriented category, I mostly use Microsoft Office and the internet as a basis for all of my work and research. I am very familiar with both programs and am very comfortable using them on my own without any help. In the play-oriented category, I would also consider myself very skilled in the area of online games, youtube, facebook, twitter, and anything else used for entertainment.

As far as improvement is concerned, I don't really think that I need much improvement in any of the above areas. At the present time, I am able to perform tasks and use each program and item as needed. While I do not know how to use and maneuver each piece of technology fully, I do know enough about them to get all of my goals and tasks accomplished. I am a user of the computer and of technology and different tools; therefore, I am familiarized with all of the basic functions of each piece of technology plus some, but if i wanted to become more of a creator or entrepreneur through the online world, I would have a lot of learning to do.

When dealing with which area I am stronger in, I would have to say that it would be in the category of entertainment oriented technology. I am a frequent user of facebook, youtube, social networking sites, etc... So I would say that entertainment technology is my strongest point of the three categories.
