Final Project Proposal

 

Eng 207

Spring 2009

Options 1 & 2 Focus

1. For my final project I am going to focus on Online Computer literacy because:

 

I have strongly literate with online computing, and I believe it will help me for the future since the internet is becoming such a staple in our society.

 

 

 

1. This is a literacy because:

 

It acquires both reading and writing.

 

 

 

 

1. Explain how you use/practice/demonstrate this literacy right now in your life right now (in other words, what role does the literacy in question one play in your life)?

 

 I use this literacy in school, and for personal use, and for my job.  I mainly use this for personal use right now, as it is one of my favorite past-times.  Whether I’m reading up about new music or movies, or seeing how my favorite sports team is doing and reading the inside scoop on them.

 

 

 

 

 

1. Explain how this literacy might be used by others in their personal lives.  Explain how this literacy might be used by others in their professional lives.

 

Others probably use this literacy the same way I do, both for school (such as researching a topic) as well as personal life (such as facebook or myspace).  Professional life is becoming a lot more internet based, where corporations are starting to make employees not only sign on and use an e-mail account but also take tests for their job.

 

 

 

 

 

1. How do you see yourself using this literacy professionally?  What need does this literacy meet that others cannot?  In other words, what will this literacy do that others do not?

 

I believe my this literacy will be used a lot in my future because the corporation I am a part of already requires me to go online, have a username and password, and complete certain tasks online.  This will only grow in time consumption especially if I stay with this corporation and become a manager.

 

 

 

 

1. How do you plan to demonstrate your literacy?

 

I’m going to somehow create a web page or a power-point that will explain all the different ways that I use the internet.

 

 

 

1. What questions do you have about this project?

 

How long does it have to be? And how much time should I spend on it because I’ve been failing all of the recent assignments.

 

 

1. Create a chronological list of the steps you will need to take to complete this project.  Then, set a time-line of when each step will be completed.  This will be a tentative contract between you and me to assure you’re making progress on this project.
