How Long Can You Wear A Gag?

Introduction ... The workshop

The well-known PC and other tools belonging to the digital world that is rapidly imposed on analog technology. A communicator must inevitably meet and master these tools as they participate in various processes involving him in his work: multimedia, internet, print and audiovisual media.
The domain of technology by the communicator gives you the opportunity to develop professionally and to address the creation of multiple communications products but without wishing to be called an artist, let alone pseudo-artist, only one operator will try to find a "tune" between technique and creativity. Tuning that, as indicated by Levis, today is often lost. However, it is quite common that exists a "perfect technical knowledge without charging the equivalent expression" (2), which leads to the emergence of pseudo-artists "provided only technical requirements and concepts, but completely devoid of any charge, creative and brilliant" (2).
In this context it should make the concept of "digital literacy." Without wishing to argue about other concepts and definitions, digital literacy, according to Gutierrez Martin, who should be in context, refers to various information-centric literacies and languages, "includes various contents (conceptual, procedural and attitudinal) that are considered basic and essential for communication, expression and representation using different languages \u200b\u200band means "(2). Includes, among others, computer literacy, "knowledge about the functioning of computers, network literacy, knowledge covering the uses of global media networks and information, information networks and problem solving in daily activities, and understand how network information is generated, managed and made available to users. It also refers to information literacy, ie "the skills to locate, evaluate and use information effectively" and visual literacy, "the ability to understand (read) and use (write) images and image-thinking and learning. Has been defined as the ability both to interpret and create images in various media to communicate effectively "(2). Many
often wrong when dealing with making digital literacy and computer literacy instrumental limit "to learning computer skills [...] and that of general purpose programs more popular. These programs, often from almost all to the same company that also is responsible for the operating system being studied. " So the digital literacy must question these facts, contextualize them, to show its importance in modern society and present alternatives.
content and methodology of the subject are determined by five factors:
1 ° "The history of this kind of matter (also called Computer, Computing applied to communication or computing workshop) in other communication courses. The particular history of other races we can learn from them (some more than 10 years experience) in the case of informatics communication.
2 ° "The development of computer technology itself. Year after year, the technological evolution requires us to update the contents due to the rapid changes in information technology. So rather than worry about the "today" we have to deal with the trends (such as technological convergence call).
3 °, the subject's relationship with others within the curriculum and the profile sought. The course is oriented communicator characteristics. Not just a complement to other but are considered basic (and should be in this type of race), fundamental for the development communicator Profile it contributes to their creation by providing basic computer technology skills critically and basic tools that work together to achieve the skills necessary for the realization of communication products. In addition, IT is essential for access to and understanding of other specific areas that are located in later years, such as multimedia production, visual communication Chart 2, audiovisual production and photography. So not only deals with the knowledge of Information technology, but it shares with the aforementioned areas, so efforts should be coordinated.
