For previous week, we discussed about digital literacy skill. Amongst several articles I read, I would like to elaborate on teen's creation.
Since 2004, we have seen recent web phenomena as web 2.0. There, these terms: openness, ease of entry, and adding own value to existing ideas, would express what web 2.0 is. As society faces this dynamics, it might be said that digital literacy skilled person might have not only competencies for typing or programming or accessing to the Internet, but ICT skills.ICT skilled person could be referred to a person who can define, access to what he wants, manage, integrate, evaluate, create, and communicate with people.
Teens can access the information what and when they need; therefore, It is quiet essential that they obtain critical thinking skill which can judge and evaluate the information. Here, I have a question regarding to communication.As the article showed, teens usually would check and give commnents to their relatives on the weblongs; besides, the reason of that was to maintain their relationships.I suppose it could be safe if they only communicate with their friends, but can I call it really communication?
In my country, teens use Social networking site to communicate with frineds, but they seem to be forced to see the blogs and give comments, just as doing their assignments.This resulted that many teens were reluctant to use the web for communication. This sounds bit sad since the web would provide people with World-Wide human relationships.

In the last paragraph, it seems like you are differentiating social networking site and blog. You also said teens are reluctant to use the web for communication. However, what do you think about the comment made by Dominic Ouellet-Tremblay, a fifth-grade student at St-Joseph who appears in Downes article (2004)? Dominic tells us: "the blogs motivate us to write more". Downes, the author adds "these students, when they enter postsecondary education, may have more experience writing online for an audience than writing with a pen and paper for a teacher. Such students will bring with them a new set of skills and attitudes" What do you think about his comment?
