I am a bit behind in my blogging due to moving house while heavily pregnant and ending up with a torn abdominal muscle, boohoo! I am pleased to say however that the results are in from assignment 1 and I am super happy with my 12/15. This is a great start to the unit.
This week we learnt all about blogging and RSS feeds. I am so new to blogging so I was interested in learning all about the history and reading the discussion board. It seems that so many students have a strong opinion on citizen journalism and I must admit I am a bit overwhelmed after reading all the comments. I choose not to post on the DB this week as it seemed a little intense but I am sure I will regret that decision later as we do need to participate in online learning discussions as part of our assessments.
I enjoyed the RSS feed activity. I have signed up to google reader and started adding subscriptions. All this technology is wonderful but I am finding it takes me so long to work out how to use them that at this point it’s not very practical. I am sure once I have my ‘digital world’ set up (after this unit) I will wonder how I ever got by in life without such web applications as delicious, Flickr, Twitter, and RSS feeds.
