Well, What have I learned?!

We have learned a lot of interesting concepts in this class but I think my favorite so far has been learning about the wikis. Before this class i sincerely thought that wiki meant wikipedia ... and I was wrong. It's cool to see all the other wikis and how many there actually are! 

The thing I could care less about was learning about the industrial revolution, etc. It is something that we have been learning since we were in grade school and hearing about it now seems kind of redundant. I know it's important to understand where technology comes from but there are other things we could have learned about too!

I can take what I am learning in this class and apply it to the real world by using blogs more effectively and more often. I also want to look more into using the cloud and wikis as well.

In the eyes of Brogan

I like the way that Brogan touched on the subject of commenting on blogs. It can be very time consuming to comment on every single blog you read so it is important to pick the ones that matter to you the most. I liked the other options that Brogan gave in order to get your blog out there to other users.

What Social Media Do I Use?

The site I use the most: Facebook 

I use Facebook to connect with people that I don't see everyday. Facebook has many functions and my favorite is the photo application. Not only can you put up your own pictures, but you can see what pictures you were tagged in. To make Facebook better, I would change the format of the pictures back to how they used to be. When you open a picture on Facebook, it takes up your whole profile instead of just opening it in the page. 

The site I use less frequenty: Twitter

I use Twitter almost as much as I use Facebook, but I still use Facebook more. This website is basically used for status updates, to follow celebrities, and for parody accounts. It works for businesses because they can promote deals, but it is not good for trying to catch up with people. People can post pictures, but I think it would be used more if they were able to make photo albums to store pictures in. I still use twitter everyday but I find myself looking at Facebook more! 

Goals For My Blog

In previous generations, privacy was crucial to any family. With the internet and social media sites, privacy is something that we do not get a lot of anymore. With blogs, people are able to voice their opinions and some people do it in the right way while others do it wrong. My goal for this class is to learn how to use blogs the right way and to get my voice out there for people.

I chose to add the search bar by google so that people can easily find my site or link to other sites from mine. The other gadget i added is the twitter feed on the side of my page. This is so that my social media sites can link together and people can get other information as well.
