We know that 75 percent of American adolescents are online and 85 percent of all Internet users expect to find key news information online. Yet “the adolescents of the nineties are more isolated and more unsupervised than other generations”. Although this quote did not surprise me as far as the number of adolescents that are online and that internet users expect to find key news information online, I was really surprised that our young people are more isolated and unsupervised than other generation. I get that we don’t have the traditional 1950’s kind of family anymore where Mom stayed home and took care of kids but to find that our kids are more isolated caught me off guard. As a working Mom I pretty much knew where my kids were and what they were doing online. With all of the well-advertised dangers that kids can get caught up in online, why are parents not supervising them even closer than they used to?

Double Entry Journal 1
Quote: New communication technologies, he believes, can enable ordinary citizens to produce and disseminate oppositional content that could be used to assist in political struggles.
A person would just need to look at what is going on in Libya and not too long ago, Egypt, to know that this quote is very true. If the rebel forces had not had the communication technologies they would have been unable to disseminate their ideologies and rally their forces from all across their country and revolutionize against the terrorists that govern their countries. If it had not been for the internet and social medias this kind of communication would have been impossible.

The difference between critical media literacy and media literacy is that critical media literacy envision teachers as the educators of citizens embracing reflection and social action and the exposers of the "hidden curriculum".

Introduction
My name is Diana Dunn and I live with my husband and my little schnauzer Bridgette in Fairmont. I work as the Director of Certification and Advising at Fairmont State. I took a digital media class over the summer and became intrigued with many of the things that we learned to do. I don't really have much of a background in computers and I learned a lot from the other class so I thought I'd give this one a try too.
