Artículo Web Colaborativo sobre el texto: "La competencia digital en el área de Lengua". 

Por medio de este artículo daremos respuesta a tres de las interrogantes que han sido planteadas frente a la lectura del texto que titula este artículo. 

• ¿En qué sentido se considera un mito a la destreza tecnológica de los jóvenes?

Este mito está referido al prejuicio o percepción equivocada de las competencias digitales de los jóvenes que obedece a una impresión equivocada o distorsionada de dos conceptos que no son necesariamente copulativos y se asumen de dicha forma. En primer lugar, el hecho de que los adolescentes actualmente poseen natural destreza para la utilización de las nuevas tecnologías de la información, lo que les entrega una habilidad o destreza funcional que los pone en adelantada posición para alcanzar el segundo elemento es comento. En segundo término, el desarrollo e interiorización de las habilidades que otorga la denominada “alfabetización digital”, como aquella relativa a generar metodologías de búsqueda eficiente ante la proliferación masiva de contenido o el uso correcto y pertinente de dicha información recabada. 

Como señalamos estos dos capacidades son irreflexivamente asociadas, ya preconcepto o la naturaleza metonímica o figurativa de la mente humana, pero no se ven en la realidad tan naturalmente vinculadas como la mente tiende a representar. Es por ello, que se hace tan necesario -y por la patente constatación de la disociación de dichas habilidades- el idear estrategias que se sustentan en prácticas que fomenten el desarrollo de ambos polos

• Observa las características de la “cultura participativa” planteada por Jenkins (2006) y contrasta con tu experiencia personal como usuario de estas dinámicas de comunicación mediadas por tecnologías digitales. (Considerando que han pasado 12 años desde que se planteó el asunto desde esa perspectiva. ¿Qué tanto ha cambiado?)

En mi opinión los conceptos desarrollados por Jenkins son absolutamente actuales y continúan siendo pertinentes para realizar un análisis sobre las implicaciones socioculturales de las prácticas que se llevan sosteniendo con las tecnologías de la información y comunicación. Ahora, respecto del nomenclatura “cultura participativa” y el contenido teórico sobre el que versa dicha categoría que Jenkins nos parece acertada, pero limitada a su vez, ya que los rasgos o características que recoge Jenkins sobre estas prácticas participativas, que sustenta la “cultura colaborativa” que Jenkins perfila, son sobrepasan el análisis externo de tales prácticas. Con ello queremos señalar que tales comportamientos que Jenkins adjetiva como participativos encierran y producen, a su misma vez, un alta individuación y aislamiento del sujeto. Para ser más claro, la cultura participativa que describe el autor es superficialmente participativa, en cuanto moral u orientación de los actos que dinamizan o mueven la colaboración digital, pero engendran una percepción alterada de la colaboración ya que tal participación es sola aparente, sólo virtual. En ese sentido, es vital advertir dicha realidad a todo aquel que quiera utilizar tales tecnologías con el objetivo no facilitar o reforzar que la esta participación virtual o digital debe estar nutrida de práctica reales, concretas. Ello, con el propósito de entregarnos una mirada objetiva de los instrumentos y dispositivos con los que trabajamos y no cometer el error de asociarnos al medio mismo. Esta reflexión, probablemente, es de larga data, e involucra diversidad de estratos de reflexión, pero me parece ineludible este ejercicio metareflexivo para forjar un perceptiva ciertas sobre nuestras herramientas. 

• ¿A qué se refiere que la lectoescritura se ha vuelto cada vez más multimedia?

Se refiere a que gracias a la evolución tecnológica los usuarios han tenido mejor acceso a la lectoescritura, logrando así englobar todas aquellas aplicaciones donde puede convertirse en emisor y comunicar sus pensamientos, dando de esta forma lugar a las personas de poder involucrarse en las formas de comunicación que en un comienzo solo eran para las grandes empresas, como lo son por ejemplo el internet, los aparatos como los smartphones y las diferentes plataformas web que permiten tener más contacto con públicos masivos. Gracias a este fácil acceso de los medios tecnológicos, es que puede considerarse como “multimedia”, ya que cumple y da lugar al servicio de los multiples propositos. 

• ¿Qué actividad se te ocurre realizar con estudiantes?

Una actividad que se podría realizar durante el desarrollo de una clase. Sería la de que los alumnos jueguen al “cadáver exquisito”. La actividad consiste en que un estudiante debe escribir una oración con el fin de dar inicio a un texto que se desarrollara de forma colectiva por parte del curso, esto se debería realizar en algún programa o aplicación online que vaya censurando la oración escrita por el alumno anterior dejando solamente visible la última palabra, la cual el siguiente alumno tendrá que utilizar como referencia para continuar con la historia y así sucesivamente hasta que la totalidad del curso haya participado en la elaboración del texto. Una vez todos hayan agregado su oración se pasaría a mostrar la totalidad del texto y se leería en voz alta por el curso para su revisión, y luego comentar el texto desarrollado, preguntarles que les pareció esa experiencia de creación colectiva de un texto. Las habilidades que se trabajarán serían la de redacción, trabajo colaborativo, mecanografía, la utilización de un ordenador o sus smartphones como herramientas para el trabajo en clase.  Los recursos a utilizar serían: que la totalidad de los alumnos cuente con un smartphone y acceso a internet en caso de no cumplir con esto, la actividad debería llevarse a cabo en el laboratorio de computación del colegio y contar con la cantidad de computadores apropiadas para cada alumno y acceso a internet. 

Final Relfection

I really enjoy doing this activity because connect me, with my creative side that lately had been forgetting for the time that consumes my job and my others subjects at the university, I really like to create things and this subject let me do it, now this is my favorite subject I would like that the other subjects let express yourself, because it's very important to know what people think, we are studying for being teachers and we need to know who are our students, I like the way how the teacher planted the activity I consider that writing on a computer is easier than in paper because the programs help you with the misspelling words and other grammatical mistakes, but that is fair because we are first year students and we are at the beginning of many years of success and fails, and I hope that in the next semester we could have more activities like this one in particular.

What do you think is the most significant invention ever made and why do you think so.

There's is a lot of useful invention for helping the human being in many areas like health, construction, communications, but for me, the inventions that make people happy are more relevant, the recreation it is important but in the world where we live now there is no place to have fun all people is like trapped in some electronic device probably they could have fun in some of them but they don't have contact with this beautiful world, they auto isolated them, they lose the ability to relate to other people in real world, they don't know how to express their emotions at least that will be with an emoji on some app or social network.

For me the most significant invention ever made is the skateboard, because when you ride your skate you are connected with the earth you can fell the wind on your face and the sun over your head you make new friends riding, you can see the city where you live in another perspective, all that just on a piece of wood with four wheels connected to it, you can feel the adrenaline running through your veins, every fall, every new trick, every day on a skateboard it is a different day, and those are the reason of why I consider the skateboard the most significant invention ever made.

The Black Butterfly (based on the short film the black hole)

Neil, it was a student of Harvard doing his final thesis on the library very late at night he needs to take a copy of a book, so he walks to the photocopier when the machine print the copy all he saw was a black circle he thought that the machine was broken or something like that
he drink coffee and place the glass on the printed black circle  but the circle swallowed the glass he thought that all was produce for the stress and fatigue the place his hand on the black circle and he could feel his glass of coffee inside and also, he could bring it back outside of the circle
he was a student of astrophysics so he start to think of all the possibilities of how a black hole could  exist in a piece of paper he did some experiments he took a candy of the machine in the corridor,
and he could take it, he felt so much curiosity about his discover that he leaving behind all his scientific knowledge he put his head inside the mini black hole and the mini black hole does what the black holes do he was swallowed by the black hole when he was inside the black hole his mind were filled with knowledge about time and relatively he had a complete control over time travel he could come back to the library, he sit down and start to think how to share his new knowledge and power with the humanity and how to used it to make the world where we live a better place, but before he wanted to do a time travel to knew his idol in science Albert Einstein he did a time travel to the past  while he was traveling to the past he was thinking what to say to his idol, he had a problem about one of the contributions to the world of his idol and was that he worked on the Manhattan project, he arrived in the past he was in front of Albert Einstein himself, Neil introduce him to Albert, and  he told about the atomic bomb and all the deaths that caused, Albert Einstein promises to Neil to not work on the project they spend hours talking about physic but Albert just wanted to hear Neil, but Neil told to Albert, that it's not good to reveal thing about future, Neil  said goodbye to Albert, he came back to his time but when he arrived everything had changed there was nothing he was floating on nothing all the universe was destroyed he try to think how that could be possible and he remains that he told to Albert about the Manhattan project,  he caused a butterfly effect, he had changed the timeline so in effect of what he made all the universe were destroyed and was floating in nothing forever, the black hole give him the knowledge about time travel bit didn't about inter-dimensional travel he couldn't come back to stop what he made because all the timeline were destroyed because his childish whim.

when Brad was 19 years old his mom gave him the heritage that his grandmother left from him, he was really quiet and not good on the academic stuff he think if he used the money to went to university the most probably was that he doesn't end his career so he decided to use the money to buy a farm and work on it, he was a shy man but for all the physical work that he do on his farm he was very muscular and the ladies of the town always look at him he never had a girlfriend or a date and one day he went to a bookstore and bought a book about botanic, he had a crush on the girl who attends the store and he invite her to a date, she accepted they met each other and he told about his love for the animals and also that it was his first date, the girl name was Alanis but she liked that people told her Lana , she got a good feeling about Brad he was a nice guy some kind of weird but Lana like it, they start a relation and he spend a lot of time on Lana's apartment but she never had spent a day on, Brad's farm she doesn't take too much importance to that. one day Brad asked to Lana if she wanted to marry him she thought that they don't have enough time together but she knew that he was the love of her life, finally was the day of the wedding Lana was wearing a White dress and got flowers on her hair Bard was wearing a black suit and he was looking very nervous, he decided to show Lana his farm that day before the wedding, later when the ceremony and the party overs he drove his car with Lana in it,  Lana asked him "where are we going?", he answered "it's a surprise it's something I wanna show you, since the day that I met you at the bookstore", Brad made Lana covers her eyes with his tie and, he guide her  by the path when they arrived he told her to take off the cover of her eyes and what she saw looked like taken of a picture the house was gorgeous and the green field it was  shining for the dew and the moonlight,  he shown her the house that he was built with his own hands. she couldn't believe what she saw all was perfect, Brad took her hand and told her "I got something else to show you" Lana was very happy because she finally knew his husband farm, they walked for the lawn and when they arrived at a red barn Brad said "here we are it's very important to me to show you this" when he opened the door of the barn a stamped of rabbits run for the inside she was in shock she never had seen that quantity of rabbits in her life, Brad asked her "what's happening, darling? are you okay?", she answered, "no, these rabbits are your Bradley?" he replied, "yes they are there's any problem with them ?"

Lana asked him "you have it because you sell it?" he laughed and said "no silly they are my pets, now all we can live happily together forever and ever" Lana shouted him "I can't, I'm sorry Bradley I love you, but I refuse, they are too much they are hundreds of rabbits this is not healthy, you have to do something with them selling or giving away"

brad was confused his face was freeze with no expression he moved his mouth and he said: "why?", Lana was scared and she tried to calm him she touch his arm and asked him "do you really love me, Bradley?"

he was quiet and steering her eyes he looks the rabbit that he had on his hand and answered: "of course you Alanis know that I love you why you ask me something like that?", Lana told him "so you don't need so many pets, maybe just one or two but no this amount of rabbits, you just need me, am I right?
