Hello Everyone
This will be our fifth
week and wow time is flying and made me realize the importance of our time. In
this short period of time we have access in many different Digital tools and
still in the process of gaining more knowledge. There are so many information
that I was not aware of before, but now I have especially about the Nine
Elements. Now days when I become access to new website or tools, I tend to be
extra cautious and I check to see if it meets my requirements.
On that note this week we
are looking into Microblogging known as Personal Learning Network and how Twitter
can be utilized. What is PLN, well according to Klingensmith K,
PLN
is the entire collection of people with whom you engage and exchange
information, usually online.” I couldn’t have agreed more, basically creating a
network online and how we can use that as our own learning tool.
Why is Twitter one of
the best Web to be used as PLN?
According to
Mrs. Kathleen Morris Twitter is a social networking and microblogging service that
allows you to send out short messages called tweets. Tweets are limited to 140
characters but can also contain media like photos or videos.
To be honest I never
used Twitter before, I heard about it, but never clicked in my mind. I started
using it and realized you can have access to enormous information from Twitter
and other. I like to read less and yet gain more information, I really like the
idea of only 140 characters can be included. With such limited amount of
characters being used, you can still pass your message across and this time
people will be more likely to read all of your tweets. Also is amazing to know
that we can have access to thousands of teachers around the world, this means
we can connect with them and improve our own knowledge in preferred areas. This
information page is also proving an enormous
messages as to how we can access Twitter and PLN. This slide is providing a
very detailed feedback about using PLN
to set up our twitter. Demonstrating different strategies
to connect with people around the globe, especially the people who are in the
same field. I also realized Twitter is very similar to Feedly, but I feel
more comfortable with Twitter because of the limited characters that are being
used to illustrate the main concept.
