Blog 8- Wittman

 In Wittman's piece, I was interested in how the idea of adapting and utilizing technology to address how literacy is changing. There is a reference to a robotic paper grader, and I think that it was funny because I could only think of the technical difficulties one might experience with that. I know sometimes Microsoft Word even says something is wrong with word usage, etc., and I think to myself that the experience of having a paper grader just means that there might be more issues in the way. What I do like is the idea of Wittman proposing that there can be ways to address ever-changing literacy. Technology plays a big part in student's everyday lives now and has become a demonstration of how society's needs are changing. 

Wittman brings up the idea of margin markings as miniature literacy narratives. I enjoy the emphasis placed on the literacy narratives because it establishes a connection the past self self. It is a reflective moment that even the teacher experiences when composing their own literacy narrative. It demonstrates the importance of this type of writing since a student can use it as a tool of motivation.
