How do I select content? Which feeds am I following? Which should I follow? Where do I search for information? How often should i blog, twitter and create other posts? In which contexts do I create? Is it only personal or professional? What presentation tools should I use? Can I just follow a person on twitter? Am I supposed to follow people back that follow me? Are people really interested in what I have to say and share?<\/p>\n<p>The questions seem endless and I guess I was wondering a bit too much about them in the past. A few weeks ago, I guess I decided that I want to change a few things. Instead of worrying about what is right or wrong, I got inspired by the playful learning of my two year old daughter and just try out a few new things. I started this blog, I start to connect to people on twitter and I told myself &#8220;Hey, I put things out there and if people are interested they can read follow and\/or comment. If not they don&#8217;t have to and I am not forcing anyone to follow my posts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So, am I digital literate? For a while, I had the feeling that I am lagging behind the fast development of the digital world and web 2.0 and I think I was. At least I was not using the internet and social media to its full potential. I think that through the project and the course I am starting to close the gap and engage more in creating and connecting. And through creating and connecting I can already notice that I develop my digital literacy and get inspired to also put this into practice i my professional life as researcher and teacher.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unit two of\u00a0the open flexible online course (FDOL)\u00a0that I currently engage in, is about digital literacy. &#8220;Digital literacy?&#8221; you might ask yourself.
