Q & A
Using best practices in the fields of social, business, and professional etiquette, what effective digital communication messages did you learn through your digital etiquette project and class communication over the course of the entire semester?
One of the most important things I learned is how to communicate over email more efficiently. When I was creating the Digital Etiquette Presentation, I read quite a lot of articles describing proper etiquette and I was happy to discover that I already knew quite a lot, but I was also glad to learn a few new tips. One of the most useful ones I got for my current job is the importance of a good subject line and concise summary of the matter at hand. This has made communication much easier, especially when I need to find an email at a later point and refer to the information in it.

Overall, how do you feel an understanding of digital literacy will make you a more successful participant a democratic society? I think that understanding more about digital communication will contribute to me being a more successful participant in a democratic society by giving me the tools to monitor and modify the information I encounter and the information that my loved ones get forwarded because of their association with my profile. This way I can ensure that no algorithm, person or business will take advantage of me and my digital presence.
