I wrote down the meanings of the few that they defined in the video so that I could understand what was meant. I think that if everyone possessed these skills, he or she would be prepared for a step into the world of technology, and would be able to think of ways how to creatively use media to enhance teaching methods. I feel that I am capable of learning more about each skill, because it is always changing. I feel comfortable saying that I currently posses all these skills except for Negotiation and Appropriation. If I was more involved in networking on the Internet or in general I believe that negotiation would be easier to achieve. Appropriation would be something that I could practice with. Would the skill of appropriation be something like using the program Audacity? Also, I have an idea of what Transmedia Navigation is, but I am not quite sure. I do believe that every person should possess at least half of the skills listed about to be able to keep along with this fast paced world.
