There is not enough that I can say about Facebook. I have been a member a long time. I have almost 600 friends. I usually spend at least 30 minutes a night on Facebook. Some of my favorite activities is to play Vampire Wars and Treasure Isle. I also play some other mindless games but who's counting. The app is even on my blackberry. I love keeping up with old and new friends (specially the real ones). I also like to "Facebook Stalk" friends and see what they are up to. But it is all good, because I also comment on their posts.
Final Thoughts:
1. What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey?
I really enjoyed the whole bloging experience. Some of my favorite activities included the image generators, the productivity tools, web 2.0 tools and youtube. I have learned a lot by exploring these and the other activities. I know I will definately continue to use bloging personally and professionally.
2. How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals?
Like I stated earlier, I really enjoyed these bloging exercises. I created a personal blog about my weight loss journey on the advice of some of my friends. I have also put into play that at the start of the school year I will have students blog their thoughts and some of their assignments for class. I am hoping that my other teaching half will also join me on th jouney.
3. Were there any take-a-ways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?
I learned a great deal from reading other peoples blogs and learning from their suggestions in the comment section. I hope I helped others also. I do know that I will not use bloglines again. Hailey gave me a suggestion on using a different app and I am planning on looking into that one.
4. What could I do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept?
For the most part, everything was great. But some of the links did not work (especially for Thing 6) and that got me very frustrated and shut me down.
I wish I was disciplined enough to only stay on Facebook for 30 minutes. There is so much to look at and so many games to play I could literally stay on there for hours. I use to play a bunch of different games but some of them started being a job to keep up with so I had to quit.
