From today's discussion, I've learned that "Web 2.0" refers to social networks :)
It draws together the capabilities of client-and-server-side software, content syndication and the use of network protocols, as mentioned by the group who reported on the topic.
Social networking is not a new thing to most of us. We deal with this stuff almost everyday. (i.e. we log-in to fb, fs, twitter, etc.)
Latest trends in the field are 1) social networking goes online; 2) sharing no longer means e-mail; 3) networks get smaller; 4) social media begins to look less social; and 5) social networking search allows advertisers to target. These are really helpful to most people nowadays!
But, we are aware that everything has its own pros and cons, same as the social networks. Some of the advantages mentioned during the assigned group's report are: 1) We can make money through social networking and 2) Social networking is a sort of informal learning. On the other hand, some disadvantages are: 1) low barrier to entry because everyone can possibly access your acct. and 2) difficult damage control.
The main thing I learned today is we should use the social media properly, or should I say ethically?! (same as everything we have :)) Stop Abuse! :p
Thought for the day:
"When it's class hours, we should listen to the instructor or to our classmates when they are reporting so that when you are asked to write something about the matter, you will have no difficulty." Correct! :))

ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting article because it exhibits how extensive learning can be now that the internet is really an integral part of the academic community.
ReplyDeleteFocusing on the topic, the article says that tweeting or simple blog commenting is helpful to students to voice out their idea, opinion, reaction, and convictions.
Though the article mentioned some disadvantages, it is noteworthy to indicate that the internet is so beneficial to provide people with a venue to learn.
Before, the internet was merely a passive medium like a book but as technology prospers, the internet, somehow, became a forum where discussions can be exhibited.
So true! Thank you for sharing your insights with me :))
