The first time I ever kept a blog was for a course I took last semester, and I have never kept a personal blog. I am more of an analog kind of girl, so I keep a journal and pen in my nightstand drawer. However, I am looking forward to delving into the world of blogging, as well as diving deeper in social media, over the course of this semester.
I set up an email just for this course, so I can keep all of my course-related accounts organized and separate from my personal accounts. However, I have never really been a twitter user. I set up my account and spent some time looking around on twitter, finding cool stuff to follow, and generally getting a feeling for how people use the platform. It seems to be used mostly to share information and articles, and to keep up to date in areas that you are interested or involved in. I am excited to use twitter more throughout the semester and learn more abut the nuances of this tool.
Hi, Rebecca - I've never been much of a journaler or blogger (at all), so all of this is new to me. I do agree with your acknowledgement that containing all of what we need in one place is helpful and that it takes time to get everything situated. I'm excited to see what direction this takes throughout the semester!
ReplyDeleteI'll be curious to hear your thoughts about twitter after you give it a spin. I posted about twitter chats on the class blog today. You might want to try one.
