Blog about Twitter

Social media is an amazing tool for sharing any kind of information: from breaking news to things you admire. It works like magic - spreading news withing the seconds. Twitter is just a perfect example. It is super easy to manage, easy to follow pages you are interested in, easy to share. Discussion on Twitter is very different from ones on BlackBoard in my opinion. When you write for BlackBoard it comes out long. You make it long in order to prove that you are confident in the topic you are writing about and you have that deep understanding of it. Usually, you do it in order to complete your homework assignment. Also, you "forced" to comment on other students' stuff in order to get credit for the work. However, on Twitter, you write short, to the point, something meaningful, something that can catch attention. Any comment comes out naturally, without certain pressure. In-class discussion is totally different. It is a natural environment where students and professors share opinions on the topic. Throughout the in-class discussion, some valuable statements are formed. It is a very organic way to better understand the topic, see another perspective of it. Even though BlackBoard discussion is created to simulate in-class experience - it is hard to say that they are the same. Discussion on BackBoard is well polished and well thought out while during the class the raw ideas are formed into some very valuable opinions.

    I agree, because twitter is so limited, you have to make sure what you chose to say stands out and is meaningful, which can catch attention

How much time do we spend while watching/reading the news? Probably more than 30 - 40 minutes daily! Some people spend hours! Can you imagine how awesome it would be if we have the option to absorb the news we are interested in within the seconds?! This new media will be arranging all news into the set of codes. Reading or watching those codes will take seconds, however, the information summarized in it will expand in our minds and will provide a complete and detailed picture of all the news we wanted to know. It will save a lot of time and will give us an ability to learn and be aware of much more information we never had time for.

Blog v Wiki

Every single day some people following others. Even though it sounds scary - it is true, however, it is not that scary. In fact, millions of people are following each other's blogs, Instagram/Facebook/Twitter pages, or YouTube channels. Actually, blogs are a great way to follow trends, things you interested in such as travel, books, food or business. Usually, it is fun or interesting to read some blogs, to learn more about the topic you like, but blogs are more than that! It can be a safe environment to share information that is hard or dangerous to share in real life such as bullying in high school or distribution of drugs. While reading the article Brooklyn Blog Helps Leads to Drug Raid I understood the importance of blogging. It is good to realize how powerful blogs can be and they can actually make a difference.   The first thing that gets on average people's minds when they hear the world Wiki is Wikipedia! It is really impressive! Even though it is not the most reliable...

Wiki So Far

Working on Wiki seems easier than it actually is. It took a while for me to understand how to navigate and edit or add dome information. I did not create any new pages. However, I spent time reading the content that already existed and thinking about my contribution. I noticed minor grammar mistakes and edited it. I added more information to Pinterest (Fashion) and Fingerlings (New Media In Toys). Also. I am planning to add more content to Fashion especially to the Makeup section. Also, I did not add any images yet, so in the next couple of days, I am going to work much more on Wiki.
