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.

Did anyone else share something similar?

From farming to programming, CTE can be very broad.Web 2.0 is creating and growing communities that would traditionally only be spread by traditional media or stay contained in those regions. What are some untraditional areas you've seen Web 2.0 in?

Produsage Reflection

 Although the idea for my assignment only came during the last week, I'm really proud of the small but powerful forum I created.  It made me want to return to my forum roots, and was a welcome reminder of different ways we can accomplish our goals and build community without having to use the latest and greatest tool or platform.  A return to the slower forums of the past rather than the hypervisual connectivity of today probably would not be extremely popular. But I think it could have great potential for the workplace. What do you think? Here's the link to my concept execution:  https://fsuforum.freeflarum.com/
