This reading was an informative piece explaining what is network literacy, and how it is used within today’s society. I found this piece quite beneficial towards the concept of Networked Media and how links, and tagging work online. The internet is a way for everyone to connect, for people to read, write and develop online relationships through the use of literacy. When writing a blog, you are publishing it for everyone to see. It is a public piece, that will be seen, that can be linked to, and it then becomes interactive with the online world. To be Network Literate, you need to be able to connect with individuals through the use of online resources, that all connect to one another. This relates back to tags and links. When you link from your blog, you are allowing more interaction, resulting in you discovering more paths that lead in the same direction or different. I like to think of the internet as a web. Everything joins up, links out to external sources, however everything is accessible and allows for interaction between online users. An example of interaction is just in this course alone.. We read each others blogs, we create links to ones that we find interesting or beneficial, allowing my followers to see my who I link out to, or tag. This creates a cycle, where everyone is viewing each others work, generating ideas, working together and being interactive through an online source.
