In today's class we did our Google hangout with Professor Ross. It's a lot like Skype except with a group. Each hangout was about a half hour and my group included Sarah and Alex. While the other groups did their hangout, we worked on a few items as a group and a few individual items.
One of the things our group put together was a website that details Open Content. We provided some links and You Tube videos that give a nice amount of information and give a good overview of it. Here is a link to our Open Content web page: Open Content Website
One of the items we worked on individually was a task list Professor Ross put together for working with Twitter. Some of these tasks included tweeting a picture, following 5 educators, and tweeting an educational quote. This was good for me personally because I don't "do Twitter" but since I'm more familiar with it now, I might make it part of my social media repertoire.
I like the twitter task as well, it let me explore how I could use twitter in an educational and professional setting rather then a way to procrastinate my work, which is what I do now.
ReplyDeleteI also am not a big twitter person, however after class on tuesday I agree that I am more comfortable with it and I can see myself using it professionally.
ReplyDeleteI also liked the Twitter task. I use Twitter every day so this was especially easy for me. I do not follow educators or do anything educationally related on my personal twitter, but I see now how useful and helpful it could be.
ReplyDeleteThe purpose of the game was to give you an opportunity to apply what you learned and learn new things in a fun, collaborative and creative way. I am glad that the Twitter activity opened your eyes to the possibilities of Twitter
