The case study that I really connected to the most was Brittney
Moraski. I really felt a similarity to
her because she had a great family support system that encouraged her to
explore and learn through computers. My
family was similar to this is in the sense that from almost as early as
computers were available we had one in the home. My parents were always encouraging my little
brother and I to use it with educational CD-roms andother interactive learning
programs. I think it really benefitted
my brother and I to be able to use the computer at such a young age because it
allowed us more ways to learn. I know
that some people would think that letting your young child use a computer would
be unhealthy but I think the fact that I was allowed to use the computer for
educational purposes whenever I wanted, made me one of the kids that didn’t
have the urge to use it all the time. As
far as traditional literacy I related to Danielle DeVoss. Her parents did not appear to be big on
letting her use technology but they were very supportive of her literacy in
traditional ways. My family was the same
way with me. Technology was integrated
into my literacy, but my parents also made sure I understood the importance of
actually picking up a book and reading.
