Blog Nominations!

CONSUME!!! BOOLEAN SEARCHES - Jeffrey did an excellent digital literacy post on Boolean Searching post because he explains very simply, verbally, and visually how Boolean searches work and how they can help you to better consume information. I liked this post because I feel like it can help you to significantly improve the way you consume material and can help you to become a more effective self-directed learner.

Master (Almost) Any Software with Lynda.com – In this Alex’s post, he does a great job of explaining what is and how to use Lynda.com. Alex does a screenshot-by-screenshot tutorial to show you how to use Lynda.com. I feel like this post is extremely useful as it can help increase your skillset in all of the self-directed learning digital literacy areas (Consume, Create, Connect).

Hindsight – 20/20 Foresight – This is a powerful, yet commical, post by Kristi about the Digital Revolution. She talks about how, what were normal days to the people of the time, now stand as history-changing days for us (e.g., Germany invading Poland, the invention of the cell phone). I feel like this post does a good job explain the impact of digital culture and the digital revolution.
