-convince somone to join a particular social media, Facebook
- audience, genre and what rhetorical appeals would be most effective
A. to a peer via text- Hey friend I would love it if you could join FB. It's just such an easy way to communicate with friends and now you can video chat. Honestly, since were both at college how great would it be to talk to each other face to face? Personally for me it helps keep my calendar on what events I have been invited to. The best part of FB is that it's free and easy to use. If you're worried about security don't be. Honestly you can set up your privacy setting. Please join and then we can talk more often.
- Pathos, Logos
Pathos- I used the emotion I would love it.. also I used the whole college card on how we are at different colleges so it would be easier to talk.
Logos- I believe its logos because its logical to get a Facebook to keep in touch with friends that go off to college in a different state.
B. A professor- Hi professor I was just informing you that Facebook is probably not the best site for you to see how your students are doing. Even though you can communicate with your friends, honestly communicating with students isn't very professional even if you think it is "hip." Personally, I enjoy talking to you fact to fact instead of through a computer. Also with face to face interaction you can show me how to do certain problems or even critic my writing. Also Facebook is time consuming and addictive. It's not time well spent.
- Ethos, Logos
- Ethos- I believe that communication between a professor and a student should be face to face and not through a computer. Therefore by not getting a Facebook the professor is doing the right thing.
- Logos- It's only logical to communicate with my professors either through email or through face to face communication. I feel like Facebook makes the relationship change into a student friend ratio instead of a student professor ratio.
C. To a parent- Hi daddy, I just would really like you to get a Facebook. Your only limitation is just to have me as a friend. That way we can video chat 24/7. Please dad we will be able to keep in contact more often and we can see each others faces. Also you can see my pictures and see what I've been up too. Love you daddy.
- Pathos, Logos
- Pathos- I appealed to his emotions by saying daddy and saying I love you.
- Logos- Its logical for him to get a Facebook so he can chat with me and see my pictures and talk to me through chat!

Intro to Digital Concepts:
How do you use technology on a given day?
- I wake up from my cell phone alarm going off. I use my computer and internet everyday to go on things like Google and Facebook. I will use my cell phone to call home and to my friends. I go on Skype to video chat with my family and friends as well. I use the TV to watch shows and to find out the weather for the week. I look up news stories on my computer. I use a gps to find my way around when I am lost.
How do you define technology?
- Technology can be devices or things created to make life easier and it creates the world to become more connected. It helps people communicate and makes work easier form consturction sites to the business world. It's rapidly expanding.
How does technolog impact how to think, read, and write?
- TEchnology has impacted my spelling and grammer skills ALl I have to do is click on a little red underline and it tells me how to spell it. Or even when I'm lucky auto-correct fixes it for me so I never have to look up my spelling. Technology takes away from my reading since I can easily go to spark-notes and look up what the book was about instead of actually reading the whole novel.
What does it mean to be digital? What are some digital objects.
- Clocks are digital, TV's are digital, computers are digital
- To be digital means to be connected with satellites???
What does it mean to be a digital native?
- It's to basically grow up with the digital items and know how to use the new technology when it comes out. It comes easier to those who are younger because that's really all they know.
- they know how to use the touchpad on the computer
- They know how to upload pictuers on the computer and even on Facebook
- They know who to put contacts into phones
A digital immigrant?
- The technology is foreign to them it takes longer to learn how to do certain things and they mess up a lot with trying to upload pictures or they have to read the manual before they even think about trying to use a computer or the newest thing out there.
