Learning Journal Entry #4

In learning module 4 we learned about some web 2.0 tools such as document sharing and social networking. We also had a discussion about face to face communication over digital communication. Even though I believe face to face communication is more important even in the digital age we live in there are some perks to digital communication such as convenience. But it was also nice to see some of the younger kids views on the discussion. For document sharing we learned how to share content and collaborate on projects using google docs. Also we used a tool known as Glogster to create digital posters teaching other students about various web 2.0 tools they can use. My glog was created on a social networking site used for business called LinkedIn although I found many of the other students glogs useful in helping me understand tools like Tumblr, PowToon, Instagram,GoToWebinar and even more on LinkedIn which I have previously posted in my Blog and can be viewed below. Social networking is something I use on a daily basis and it was nice to learn more about the tools out there that are available to me.


I feel the effort I put into these lessons was good. I read chapter 4 in our book on Communicating Online before starting the module and stayed on top of all of the assignments.
