CEDO 535 Week 3
This weeks work is a little bit meaningless to me but it's a requirement so I will struggle through it. I'm not a huge fan of RSS feeds as I just don't use them very often. I can certainly see their worth and think that when I need to use them it will be a nice feature to be familiar with, however, I just don't have a use for them right this second. The photo sharing account is just not my cup of tea as I'm not a picture taker. I would love to be a picture taker and maybe someday when I have more than a couple of free seconds to myself, I will become a picture taker but as of right now I just don't have the time to think about taking a whole bunch of pictures thus a picture sharing account is not a big factor for me. The Ning stuff, however, is right up my alley. I'm not going to talk a lot about that end as this was just an introduction to Ning's and I have to believe in the coming weeks we will be asked to extrapolate more. I love the idea of Nings and am looking ot create a Ning of my own so I can't wait to get to this work.

Ryan,
ReplyDeleteThe RSS is new to me as well, and I think that Richardson is correct in saying that it can be overwhelming in the beginning. But the fact that information comes to you, in one spot, really opens up a new world of information. I would think in your discipline, it might be nice to have the latest information sent right to your doorstep. If nothing else, now you won't have to Google search whenever you need current information that might be applicable to your classes.
The photo sharing concerns me a little because I am fairly private with my personal life. I am not crazy about having my personal photos out in cyberspace for all to see. That being said, I do agree with the online storage of photos in the event of a catastrophic computer failure. I will have to see if I warm up to the idea of sharing photos, or if I immediately make my account private after the assignment is fulfilled. :)
