How exciting - I created a blog! I've never had a reason to do so before so am looking forward to using it. I feel like I’m learning to ride a bike. I'll start by answering the Week 1 prompt. Hopefully I won't fall off my bike.
Week 1 Prompt - response
I first learned of Web 2.0 in a previous course in the program - EME 5457. I haven’t heard or thought about it since in a holistic manner, but certainly am aware of the most popular new technologies such as Twitter and Facebook. The initial readings of this course have already given me a firmer grasp of 2.0 as an organized concept.
I would call myself a careful participant of Web 2.0. The Performance Technologist in me always has my guard up about focusing on the technology rather than the topic or the person. I recently attended a satellite video show hosted by a well-known talk radio guy. The show lasted one hour and used YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, email, and live audience to take questions. I found it distracting.
Ah! But I think these tools carefully chosen are great. My goal for this class is to learn more about the more popular ones like Twitter, and get a sense of the others that Dr. Dennen mentions in her syllabus.

Congratulations on the start of your blog, Susan!
ReplyDeleteI think it's pretty common to be experimenting with and using various Web 2.0 tools prior to coming to have a definition of the term or a way of organizing one's thoughts about these tools and how they might be used.
