Technological literacy could be stated as a general understanding of technology. After reading the whole article, technology literacy should be expressed by three different worlds – the social world, the natural world and the designed world. Also, after showing the general definition of the technological literacy, the paper also demonstrated the characteristics of the technological literacy from three aspects – knowledge, capabilities and critical thinking. After looking through the related information (NAE and NRC,2002), the technological literacy person need to understand the basics of technological literacy, could solve the related problem and confront with the new techniques quickly, this group of people also at least to carry out the simple version of technologies in any time.
After taking this course, I’ve actually learned more knowledge about the new techniques, and some related ethical information that connect with humanity. Also, paper that we have read in this course give me a chance to know how to think more deeply.Actually, the thing that struck me most is the large amount of reading, the articles from diverse fields made me feel a little stressed. Furthermore, I think I have being more patient with large amounts of readings and words.

“Even if you have people directly looking at posts they won’t know what they’re looking at,” says Lenhart. “That could be exacerbated by an algorithm that can’t possibly understand the context of what it was seeing.”
It's a problem that haven't be resolved through using techniques. Also, the administrators won't always have similar thought with young generation because of generation gap, even they are looking at the same message and information. At this time, understanding this information will waste tons of time and even miss some important posts. And maybe we should create more connection between human and technologies to address this problem.

It uses keywords and machine learning algorithms to flag public posts on Twitter and other networks that contain language or images that may suggest conflict or violence
It's actually an excellent techniques to help and support people. This technique could automatically screen the posts that "contain language or images that may suggest conflict or violence,", it's very convenient and easy for administrators to get information from students and take actions. On the other hand, if students know about this situation, they may think their privacy are violated.

“I think there’s an opportunity for schools to use this as a way to support people but I would do so with extreme caution,”
I thought the the back part of the sentence "I would do so with extreme caution" changed a little of my thought. I disagree to use this way to support people initially, but if the school administrators promise to students that they will pay attention to their manage manners and care about the advices from students, I thought most of the students will be easier to accept this way to support them.

There is some debate over whether—or how—it can be accurately or ethically extracted by software.
Actually, in my opinion, share the information will help to protect the students in some ways. But at the same time, it will bring some inconvenience to students, and students may even feel uncomfortable because of being monitored. Also, I think this point could be connected with Rights ethics which mentioned in "ethical principals, reasoning, and decision making", since lots of students have rights to refuse to share information, if they thought their privacy are violated.
