This weeks topic was very interesting and held my attention well because I have issues with both of the topics we learned about. I am horrible when it comes to how to study, this has became a difficult thing to admit because I was such a good student in high school and now (given that I never really learned to study) I have a hard time really learning in depth concepts in my courses I’m taking. I think if I knew how to study better, I might enjoy school more because it wouldn’t be as stressful. I enjoyed looking through the different study sites because that kind of stuff can be fun to make for me and I feel like just entering in the information helps you when it comes to memorizing it. Since you’re already learning it when you enter the info into the system, you’re already sneakily introducing yourself to it, therefore helping yourself remember/learn it. I need to try to actively remember what I’m reading about when I am reading it and have limited distractions. I already use Quizlet and I listed it as a suggested site so that others can use it as well. I like the site https://bubbl.us/ because it’s a site I could definitely see myself using both for school and just for life in general.

Hello! I just made this post to check and make sure everything was working.

Hello & welcome to my blog post!

I am writing this towards a student audience, I hope it can be a resource to a future student and someone gets some use out of it besides me getting a grade.

This week we learned about communication and collaboration when using the internet. I think this is very important because I don’t think there is a job today that doesn’t have some sort of communicating over the internet. Whether it’s Skype IM or email like I use at my every day job or just the internet in general, it’s a very big thing in today’s world.

I specifically liked the slides & video about “netiquette” because I don’t think people my age (and younger) now a days realize how important that is and the fact that it will only become more important with time. The things I see posted on social media now a days kill me, and I mean that in the sense that I see it and just think “oh my gosh, I cannot believe they just posted that”. Now I get that there are sites and accounts made for just humor and that it’s an outlet for people, I totally get that, but somethings just shouldn’t have your personal name attached to it when shared, if that makes sense.

Relating to that slide and video, it was found here:

and it was slide # 4 for reference.

To some up this weeks lesson, I think it’s very important for everyone now a days to learn how to properly communicate on the internet. The internet is here, it’s now, and it’s definitely not going away so we all just better get used to it and learn how to use it to our advantage.
