What have I learned about blogging?
I have learned a lot about blogging. First, I learned that blogging is not just for personal expression. Prior to this course, I used to belive that blogging was just some way that a techie type person could put his/her thoughts on a topic on the internet. I never thought that "average" people posted and kept blogs for themselves. Second, I learned that blogs can be helpful in education. Blogs can be used to keep parents informed about their child's progress in school and assignments for class. It can also help teachers keep in contact with their students and offer them additional resources by posting websites, files, pictures, etc. Third, I learned that there are blogs for almost every topic or interest. I have now commented on and follow several blogs of topics that intertest me.
What have I learned about twittering?
For the past several years, I have heard on the news and many other tv stations that they can be followed on twitter. I never really lnew what that meant and was never interested enough to expore it. I have since set up a twitter account and follow the "tweets" of people and topics that interest me. I feel like it keeps me current on things that I used to have to research to find out current information. I chose to follow the Detroit Tigers on Twitter because I don't often have time to keep up on daily transactions that may be going on during the off-season. This keeps me up to date so I am informed when discussing Detroit baseball with friends. By getting into twitter I feel like I am catching up to what people have been doing for the past several years.
