Digital Native Quiz
I thought that this quiz was going to be completely different, when it was referred to as a "Cosmo Quiz" i thought that it was going to be a multiple choice quiz and at the end it told you. I also did not do as well as I thought that I was going to because I could only define maybe three or four words. I did not like the way that the quiz was set up because the definitions were in our heads and we could have said "yes I know that" but not actually know the complete or the real answer until they told you. To me it was weird. Also it was weird that i did not do so well because i thought that i was well versed in the digital world.

This is a good start- remember to try to link to the course content and readings as you respond.
I agree with the first part of your post. I too was definitely expecting something different from the quiz. Although, it wasn't as beneficial as i thought it would be, it still gave me an idea about where I stand in terms of digital literacy.
I think that the quiz did ask some important terms in regards to being a digital native or not. However, I also feel like the terms that they chose were very limited and did not include many other terms that would be have been used by people who are digitally literate. Blogs and wikis are newer to us versus instant messaging, for example. Just because we do not know a few select terms, I do not think that it makes us native to digital literacy.
With my last sentence I made a mistake. I meant to say "an immigrant" instead of "native." Sorry!!
Bri- I had a similar reaction to you. I didn't do as well as I thought on the quiz. I thought i was pretty literate when it came to technology, but I discovered a lot has been created in the past couple years that I had not had experience with. The quiz was also not what I expected. It was surprising to me, that they didn't give me a result for the quiz, we kind of had to interpret our result ourselves.
