Reading Thoughts: Social Media Learning Activities




What stood out to me the most in this reading was the emphasis on wikis and blogs for a course. The use of blogs is something we're all familiar with now. But wikis is an interesting one. I've seen this discussed in other courses as a part of OER materials created by students for an class. An ever-growing repository of information, materials, projects, and resources that stays over the years. For the right subject material, giving student work a meaning beyond the disposable semester term is something that has a lot of appeal. Plus, they can exist in a student's portfolio.

Creating A Network: The I4 IDs

Image
I recently joined a new Central Florida group for Instructional Designers. We named it the I4 IDs (the name was my idea). It is a revival of a previous group that existed in 2019. I created a LinkedIn group for the organization, and the goal is to have a website down the line. It's still early but actively engaging in the creation of a new network that exists as an in-person group and online community is exactly what this course is about! Feel free to join if you're in Florida at all.  Links:  https://www.linkedin.com/groups/12835226/ https://www.eventbrite.com/e/i4ids-orlando-learning-design-group-articulate-storyline-interactive-jam-tickets-630999375117 \

Groups Chats and Knowledge Collection

Image
One under-discussed aspect when it comes to online knowledge collection is group chats. Group chat can spring up among friends, family, jobs and classes, or in different online communication tools like Discord or Facebook. This is online curation in its purest form. People bring different evidence and artifacts to the chat and generate conversations based off it. People can choose whether to save them for their own individual use or let them slide into the void of an endless group chat. People bring their own expertise to these chats and will ask questions to the group chat and "crowdsource" information.  Never thought I would analyze a group chat for class.
