- Have you ever had to help someone with technology (new literacies) who was not tech savvy? What was that experience like? My mother didn’t know how to use much of web browsers and apps from a pc. I helped her learn by first formating the language to chinese and then teaching how to use a chinese keyboard. That experience was satisfying seeing her remove herself from watching just tv all the time.
