Digital Technology and Linguistics Part 3
The Differences Between Digital and Physical Writing
I Need to Figure Out How to Make a T-Chart on Blogger
Digital Writing:
- creates a different structure for the narrative and changes the roles of the writer and reader
- engages students while entertaining them (via video or audio)
- allows teachers to find multiple ways to frontload information before a lesson
- through digital media, e-grammar has emerged
- allows for both the consumption and participation of media
- the Internet is a digital archive and doesn't hold the sentimental value of a book
- typing requires greater memory function for remembering the position of keys and how to strike them for the desired words, numbers, phrases, or characters
- more convenient
Physical Writing:
- requires more complex thought
- does not use autocorrect
- provides more interpersonal connectedness
- requires fine-motor training for optimal line trajectory, curves, and dots that make up the alphabet
- gives people better recall with words and letters
- a preferred method for those wanting to hold something of material value, as reading and writing are multisensory disciplines
