The chapter can be evaluated in two perspectives for me. It made me reflect on my experience in this course and as an instructor. The five components that Cooper used for learning digital literacy were context, creativity, time to learn, assist in learning, and collaborating with peers are tools that we use constantly in this course. I love technology, but I get frustrated with long tutorials and applications that are not easy to figure out while trying to use them on your own. I like how Cooper expands on the idea of being creative as being a part of learning. I am an exploratory learner, but I don't have much patience. As a teacher, I use my tactics of teaching with all five of these components. I have to say that I have much more to learn and I need to work on having patience with the applications that I find difficult to understand, because they could be quite useful if I take the time to learn them.
