Week 2 Summary
Already the beginning of week 3! Whilst reassuring myself that we are still at the beginning of the course I realise that I must remind myself that it is only a 10 week course and the time will fly in. Compared to registering accounts, organising feeds and then ‘playing’ to work out how to navigate my way around them I do not feel I have given a sufficiently proportionate time to the course content this week. However, for now I am reassuring myself that this is essential work as not having the feeds set up properly will restrict me in representing what I’ve been reading/doing. I’ve always been resistant to Twitter until now, with perhaps a dated view, that that if someone really wants to know my opinion (and I want to share it) it is better done on a one to one basis. Having set up Twitter I now realise how dated my thinking was….because you can private message on twitter too! I have followed the advice and organised a Tweetdeck account. This has made managing the course a little easier as I am in a position to follow some of the comments by separating them from personal messages. That said I’m finding conversations disjointed when reading them a day or so later and this makes it less effective to contribute through this medium.
