We tend to become too comfortable, and not grow as a person, learning comes through taking risks at doing things that we've never done before,through making mistakes we are learning and knowing how to better ourselves at it, for eg, we've all made mistakes in life that we regret like stealing something, or not studying for a test, but that guilt in return made us grow because of the situation..

Making excuses for something you did wrong also wont get you anywhere, own your mistakes an learn from it, in doing this you will become a better person, things will go right for you,because now you are fixing it, you have learnt. We are not perfect but it doesn't mean we shouldn't try.

Many times we feel as if we need the help of others to survive. Referring specifically to the education sector, this article reminds us and bluntly states in so many words that we should not be dependent on someone else.  We should be reluctant and dependent on our own skills and our own knowledge. As Nelson Mandela quotes when he said, "Education is the most powerful weapon ONE can use to change the world". Taking this into consideration, we now know that we should rely on our own knowledge and not depend on anyone else. We should soar like the eagles that we are and that way we can all make South Africa a better place for all .

There are those that are quite literate but are what we call street smart. In order to stay literate we simply need to constantly be aware of changes and be open to change. It is through change that we learn new things. For example, there are many teachers who were never taught how to integrate computers into the classroom but due to the world and its technological evolution, those teachers had to adapt to change and with that learn how to survive with that change. ]]> 2019-02-07 11:45:33 UTC https://padlet.com/computersineducation2016/psxxxyxc330c/wish/328675995 216182409 Jurgens zjurgens8 https://padlet.com/computersineducation2016/psxxxyxc330c/wish/328679944 The text and video highlights the core problem in the education system not only in South Africa but around the world. Its easy to say "all you need to do is simply step out of your comfort zone" not realising how difficult it is to in fact do that. For example, how often have we as students gone to campus, sat in class, got an assignment, and told ourselves "I'm going to start on this assignment as soon as possible" but before we know it the assignment is a week away from being due and basically nothing has been done. Stepping out of your comfort doesn't only need self motivation but motivation from other around us. We as teachers need to teach outside our comfort zones in order to motivate learners to work outside their comfort zones. Again, change is key and being open to change. Same, as in my illiterate comment, I make a point of saying that we do not learn if we do not accept change. ]]> 2019-02-07 12:01:25 UTC https://padlet.com/computersineducation2016/psxxxyxc330c/wish/328679944 215037421 Dawood https://padlet.com/computersineducation2016/psxxxyxc330c/wish/328976149 To be literate in today's era means that we should be able to adapt to any form of learning.

Therefore, we as future teachers need to constantly implement computer literacy and adapt to the changing technological era in order to equip ourselves to teach better with the aid of technology in classrooms. I also noted that over the years the skills most students and myself acquired through the teaching of computers in education made it easier to grasp the attention of learners in schools with the use of technology in the classroom that was maybe not implemented by their teacher thus, making it easy to reach lesson outcomes. ]]> 2019-02-09 08:40:04 UTC https://padlet.com/computersineducation2016/psxxxyxc330c/wish/329465696 Toufiqah Williams - 215053877 toufiqah33 https://padlet.com/computersineducation2016/psxxxyxc330c/wish/329466672 What are we doing to be literate?

A literate person is someone who is advanced at reading, writing, communicating and learning. What goes hand-in-hand with being literate, one also needs to have competence and knowledge. I have come to understand that in todays day and age, being literate is and requires much more then only reading and writing. What I am doing to be literate is to develop relationships with others and solving problems. Gain knowledge with tools of technology. Being able to analyse information. Share information simultaneously on different platform while being an effective communicator. I think that the most important thing for me to be literate is to be a lifelong learner.

This video has not only been educational but it made me ask myself the question "Are you a tiger in a zoo or in the jungle?" 

I always believed that I was like the tiger in the jungle because I had to be independent from a young age. Nothing was ever given too be without hard work and dedication. 

This is were I got it all wrong. I was in the jungle yet having some "tiger in the zoo" mentality. I always tell myself that I am not a numbers person and Mathematics/Accounting and Physical Sciences is my weak areas. Languages, Business Studies and Creative Arts were my strong points therefore I excelled in those subjects. Not knowing that I sit myself up for failure because without knowing I already told myself what my weaknesses are without proving myself wrong.

The video has taught me that we put ourselves in categories and boxes based on our own preconceived thoughts. In the proper environment we can all essentially learn anything.

Great video :)

Technology was intended to make things easily accessible but ended up brainwashing our children. I say this because to be literate, is to fully be able to read, write and comprehend a particular language. However, social media has a language of its own and smart phones auto-corrects in correct spelling. Which unfortunately puts our kids 10 steps backwards because they cant read,write or comprehend proper English.

That is why education systems were put in place to help us become literate, However, poverty stares us dead in the eye learners drops out of school and cannot read and write properly going out to find jobs that pays out a minimum wage/salaries and this affects their living standards heavily in the future!

I have been one of those learners in school and when I go out on teaching practice I would get one or more of those learners in the class.

Learners spend more time infront of television and cell phones using technical mediated tools to communicate and reading books or newspapers are no longer important to them.

This is quite scary because I ask myself what is going to happen if the next generation of learners are being raised by parents who are illiterate?

It is our responsibility as teachers to encourage reading on our schools and in our classrooms to ensure that our learners become literate and informed.

Being limited to do what you good at or consist of characteristics of something can't be explored.

BUT, to read and write and not understand what you are reading and writing can cause much damage, therefore we have to practice our literacy daily by reading books, articles, watching tv, etc.

The term illiterate means that you can't read or write properly and be able to do a certain type work you must be fully competent or literate to do so. 
It's your choice to stay illiterate.  
The key to being literate is to read,read, and read.

I think the use of the tiger as an example was perfect. As much as I tend to think of myself as a jungle tiger, this video made me realise that I am very much still a zoo tiger. I am very confident and capable in my comfort zone, but this is because it is what I am used to. This video made me want to challenge myself and step out of my cage. I realise that this is how I will grow as a person as well as a teacher. This year I want to attempt to make use of different teaching styles and teaching materials to see what the outcome will be.

So, it is all about familiarizing yourself with the new trends and of course finding the easiest ways to approaching problems with technological tools at hand.]]> 2019-02-13 18:17:56 UTC https://padlet.com/computersineducation2016/psxxxyxc330c/wish/330959557 215081528 Williams cheryl03cw https://padlet.com/computersineducation2016/psxxxyxc330c/wish/331086188 "He is illiterate"...."That student is economically or computer illiterate" So the definition to the term illiterate may sound simple and clear. Yet, the concept is still not fully grasped by many. It goes beyond the inability to read and write. Let me use the example above - "The student is economically or computer illiterate". This in fact means that the student is perhaps able to read or even write but does lack knowledge of computers or the subject economics. In others words being literate means being equiped with not only writing and reading skills but also knowledge in general. So the following questions may arise
1) What exactly leads to someone being illiterate? Having parents who are illiterate themselves, learning disabilities, poor living conditions which makes it difficult to access reading/writing material.
2) What are the main effects of being illiterate? Such individuals battle to function their daily lives for example trying to sign a form or even reading a contract or any other piece of information, socially such individuals usually withdraw themselves and cannot participate in any working activities, economically this means lack of unemployment as well as low growth levels. 

To answer the question -What are you doing to stay literate? Like the saying goes you never to old to learn. I also remind myself daily that learning is a process. I therefore try to read at least one book once a month which I will either physically buy or download directly on my cellphone. Books of different genre e.g fiction, non-fiction, educational, romance, politics etc. This helps me to continue learning new words, pronounciation, places, people and many more. I then try to stay up to date with modern technology which allows me to read news from news apps, gain knowledge about other countries, school subjects, teaching curriculums and methods as well as life in general by doing research, collecting quotes, going onto social media sites and watching youtube videos]]> 2019-02-13 23:17:34 UTC https://padlet.com/computersineducation2016/psxxxyxc330c/wish/331086188 215081528 Williams cheryl03cw https://padlet.com/computersineducation2016/psxxxyxc330c/wish/331098548 The above article and video to me personally is beyond educational. Firstly, this is great material to help steer any class of learners or students to a successful year whether it be academically or sports. It can also serve as a great motivational tool in businesses or any other working environment for that matter. Lastly, it can be used to inspire both young and old in the general life. 

All the aspects which the article and video refers to are aspects which I can relate to in so many ways. For example; Growing up, I was never fully computer literate and this made me built fear, trying to avoid computers at school or even typing a task. I was given a label by teachers "she cannot do math" I then adopted that label and believed it and with no surprise, I ended finding math challenging up until grade 12. 

Even as a 4th year student, the video made me realise that many of my personal, spiritual and academic goals seems "unrealistic/not achievable, "to good too be true" kind of goals. This is only because I limit myself by giving myself lables and believing the labels. I prefer to be in environments (teach subjects,sports, talents, even friend groups) which I am most familiar to and comfortable doing. I now know that learning will always be challenging but worth it. In my opinion, I 100% agree and say that the video and article is extremely educational. In terms of learners setting goals, dealing with the added challenges of those goals but more importantly achiveving those set goals. I am definately going to share this video with my teaching mentors, during teaching practise and children in my family who are still scholars. ]]> 2019-02-14 00:18:33 UTC https://padlet.com/computersineducation2016/psxxxyxc330c/wish/331098548 215081528 Williams cheryl03cw https://padlet.com/computersineducation2016/psxxxyxc330c/wish/331104568 Great minds do think a like...Reading the comments made me realise that most of us has a mutual idea and understanding of the concept - illiteracy. With this being said, it makes it easy to distinguish between being literate vs being illiterate. After expresssing my views (comments) I also noticed that a lot of the student has touched on similar points as myself regarding illiteracy. A lot of us including myself has steered away from illiteracy in SA in the 21st century but rather tried to answer the required question. 

In terms of the video and article, it is clear that the students have all been greatly motivated by the main message which conveyed. Many also agreed that it is indeed no mediocre educational tool. A few people have however failed to answer the question and explain how they would perhaps use it a classroom situation. 

I firmly believe that many or rather all students themselves are motivated for the acdemic year ahead,future career and life in general.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this informative video.It is 100% relatable and helps me justify some of my past and present behavior and actions. Staying in my comfort zone is easy and less stressful and doubting my abilities/ skills causes me to avoid or reject certain opportunities and situations. However, I have discovered that life outside of my comfort zone is more revitalizing because it challenges my abilities and improves my confidence. Therefore, it is important to have a clear understanding on your strengths and weakness so that you can continuously refine your skills and abilities and overcome your weaknesses.

As Ms Windell mentioned, I also questioned myself after watching that video: Are you a tiger in a zoo or in the jungle? AND Are we expecting our learners to be zoo or jungle tigers?

It is very sad that our learners are placed in cages, forcing them to be tigers in a cage.
Teachers tend to spoon feed learners and hold their hand throughout their schooling career and therefore,
I believe ,as 'soon to be' teachers, we should make it our responsibility to create that space for learners to be like the  tiger in the jungle. We should allow our learners to live a little, to struggle and learn from their mistakes and give them a chance to reach out when they need assistance
, instead of assuming and acting as if learners are not capable of doing things for  themselves.

This article and video only proved how important it is to motivate learners, and ourselves, to move out of our comfort zones.

I went on a hike about a month ago and I learned that 3 rocks stacked on top of each other meant that you need to continue in that direction. There were no words. So I had to learn that form of literacy. Also, we spend hours on the internet reading news, blogs, etc. And we adapt to people's style of writing. Each day we are presented with new, fresh information. If a child is able to read or identify a sign, he/she is not illiterate. You can say things without actually saying anything.

My mother would always be reading books and I would lay by her side and page through a magazine. I would make up my own stories with the pictures that was shown - even though I could not hold the magazine the right way around. Being Afrikaans and growing up in an Afrikaans home, I have always understood the importance of a universal language. A language in which all people could communicate. Books are how I keep myself literate. I read and take note of words which I do not understand and then I look them up in the dictionary (yes very old school). I also enjoy reading magazines and newspapers from time to time. Linking my way of staying literate to the above quote, I often watch the news on television or listen on the radio to stay up to date with what is currently going on around us in the communities and the country. I attend as much extra classes and workshops that are made available to me in order to ensure that I am constantly learning and growing as a human being.

Often we take for granted our talents and we stay within the barriers of those talents because we have been taught to believe that it is a given to have them. However, in reality we should be utilizing these talents and developing them further through hard work. 
Instead of just prouncing around and looking good for other people and doing as we were taught, we should start thinking and learning like a jungle tiger and look good for ourselves.]]> 2019-02-14 14:12:38 UTC https://padlet.com/computersineducation2016/psxxxyxc330c/wish/331290473 215249720 folscher_cput https://padlet.com/computersineducation2016/psxxxyxc330c/wish/331293434 It is clear that most of us share the same opinions on illiteracy and on the "tiger" story. But that leads me to ask the question - "Is this really our opinions or are we just trying to say what it expected of us?"

Somewhere there should surely be someone who does not agree with the quote of Alvin Toffler and somewhere someone surely believes that when you are growing it is okay to be a tiger in the zoo so you can be nurtured and trained before you head into the real world.

The site and video further builts on the concept that 'skills are built, not born' through environments refining the present skill set of a particular individual as well as highlighting one’s adaptive skills( once you as an individual move out of your comfort zone).]]> 2019-02-14 15:26:31 UTC https://padlet.com/computersineducation2016/psxxxyxc330c/wish/331338745 216004578 Hendricks N https://padlet.com/computersineducation2016/psxxxyxc330c/wish/331356926 The quote that was attached is one powerful quote and had me thinking that with the 21st century being Illiterate is no longer a big of a deal because it already is no longer a big deal, where as if one gives it thought in a technological context, the world changes day by day where technology is concerned and each day new things are discovered and created.  Some people are illiterate where reading and writing is concerned whereas others are more literate where technological things are concerned and visa versa. In the context of an school environment teachers are opt to try and reach through to learners in different forms where it’s the normal pen and textbook method or via digital gadgets.

With the question posed of what do I do to stay literate?
I still read books whether its myths, fables or research. I still prefer an actual book over something that is in electronic form. I try my best to stay up to date with new forms of technology that develops each day even though it is a given that we will never always be up to date with technology. As a computer applications technology educator in the making, technology will always have to be my number one priority.

You might even step back from being an introvert to becoming a vibrant person where you picture yourself filling with light and confidence. It is not always easy BUT it isn't always a bad idea. Try something new until you are comfortable with discomfort and give yourself a reward for venturing even slightly outside of the box.

It goes further than possessing those basic skills. One needs to be able to change with the times and adapt to these changes rather than letting it hinder your growth. 
I do not like change very much and this has been a challenge for me..Taking computer literacy for example, I am computer literate and i agree that computers make life a lot easier, however my comfort zone is a pen and paper. I've really had to push myself to get out of that comfort zone and especially when working with younger generations , i feel it is extremely important to be able to adapt. One needs to push and keep growing and advancing with society and its changes.

We as future teachers should know that not all the learners are the same. However we should always see that learners don't label themselves. Learners should always be motivated and to be told to never give up easily.  Learners need to get out of their comfort zones and  get the right mindset to be the best.

The video is also very much inspirational and educational. Plain and simple, we need to get out of our comfort zones to experience the wild and learn the best. Sometimes people get so caught up in their comfort zones that they are afraid of getting out of that zone. That hold them back to pursue their potential. Getting out of your comfort zone will not be easy, however you can adapt with time to the situation. You will get stronger, and you will learn to face challenges in life.

Having been on teaching practice on several occasions and observing this behavior of learners labeling themselves as not good enough, I could this relate to the article. From my teaching practice experiences, I would say that many learners use this excuse of not being good enough as a way to avoid having to work in class or trying to learn by challenging themselves. I believe learning takes place when learners succeed in challenging themselves and stepping out of their comfort zone. This action allows learners to acquire new knowledge and skills.

I must admit that I'm not the smartest ever, however my intuitive nature always has me trying out new things, adapting myself as a person, and when it concern technology I tend to shut down. This does not happen out of laziness or perhaps me not being tech savvy, it's plain and simple. The evolution of technology is overwhelming.

The best way I taught myself to over come this is by watching YouTube videos about how to use and understand certain platforms(excel, Microsoft word  etc) and gadgets.
