digital futures
For this lesson’s assignment, you are to select a topic (topic selection below), describe your plan to find the information you’ll need to complete the project, and propose a completion schedule, keeping in mind the due date for the Final Project. Also, keep in mind the very notion of the future. Think of how the ideas you’ll engage will shift in the coming generations as technology continues to make progress and changes the way audiences read and respond to texts.
Option 1: Digital Futures
In this project, you will explore the future of digital technologies by choosing a specific technology that you’re interested in (video games, the Internet, social media, etc.) and researching what the experts say is the future of your chosen technology. You’ll also reflect on the types of literacies that might be necessary in the future in order to critically read and engage the technology that you chose.
