=Creating a Blog (Artifact 1)=

Reflection: My initial feeling upon first creating the blog was one of trepidation because of my inexperience in developing a technological sounding board like a blog. But as I grew more comfortable with the use of technology, I found that it was a vital part in my development from "digital immigrant" to "digital native." My feeling is most people familiar with the terms "digital immigrant" and "digital native" tend to compartmentalize people into one category or the other with seemingly no hope of transferring out of any particular category in which they reside. My belief is everyone has the capacity to learn and grow; given the time and opportunity, most everyone with the inclination can be heralded a "digital native." I am not sure if I can completely call myself a "digital native," but I can confidently proclaim to all who may care to delve into such an undertaking: "Come on in. The water's fine!"
