After a recent discussion in my digital civilization class about how
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and its use of digital media, I wanted to post a few of the thoughts that I had related to our discussion.
- It takes time to become proficient in online chat just like a new language. This also applies to becoming proficient in the use of digital literacy tools.
- Last Thursday, was my favorite digital civilization class period of the semester. I had no idea that there was so many different LDS church sites and ways to spread the gospel digitally.
- It's probably pretty obvious that the digital world is new to me and I am far from being proficient but seeing how it applies to something that I am passionate about has really changed my views towards digital media.
- I no longer super hesitant about potentially working in Provo, UT post graduation. I used to be hesitant because I wanted to live in a place where all members could participate and feel a part missionary work in the area. Having seen many of the digital tools/ resources for missionary work that are available, I feel a lot better about living in Provo after I graduate.
I'm glad that you are inspired and interested to participate. There is a lot of good that can be done, especially with those who now have improved digital literacy skills. We'll talk further.
