Week 1 Tutorial
I was bit apprehensive before joining the tutorial session, as I am not a tech savvy person. As we moved forward in the discussion, it seemed interesting and I was quite fascinated about that digital conversation. We picked up the issue about the educators dealing with the stress that came along with this digital conversion. Myself and the other colleague shared the experience of handling this digital transformation in the past year of the COVID pandemic, especially in the clinical education. There was a real debate about the challenges being posed by the new generation of students growing with fast internet connections and quick online resources. Same like other innovations, the online technologies are associated with some unforeseen circumstances. I am really looking forward in the learning and growing in this digital era, eyeing on its numerous advantages especially in the education sector, to meet the demands posed by the modernization of the global educational environment.

Thanks Ranjana. One of the interesting tensions in digital culture is the distinction between technical skills and a deeper, critical literacy around the implications of our dynamic relationship with technology. Do we need to be able to work the printer in order to understand the shaping influence of datafication or the privacy implications of Google search? Does one help with the other or are they totally separate?
