My Introduction into Education 4P28

Back to the blogging game! 

Just as a reiteration for the newer viewers, my name is Daniel Cursio and I am a Concurrent Education student passionate in learning about all there is about Education and its expansive field. Comprehension, meta-cognition and present-day Literacy are all important factors in advancing my knowledge regarding the topic of Education. I am an avid student and always capable of learning new material. In saying this, I hope that I will acquire as much information as possible in respect to the current literacy for students around the world. This will help with my inquiries towards current literacy and how factors such as social media, newspapers, television shows, increased types of communication, and so on, can all have the potential to enhance literacies and peoples capabilities to learn. I hope this was a concise summary, and that your expectations are similar to mine. Thanks for reading!
