Reflections on ITEC830: 3/4/08
Classes continue to be well worth it. I'm learning a lot of new material that will be good for my creative work project...now just trying to figure out how to incorporate it all into my first idea (a Flash based science lesson)...
In class Giovanna gave a great presentation about Twitter. It seems like a good tool to keep in touch via quick tiny messages. I couldn't help but agree with Marcus (I've also come from a career in high tech and Internet companies) - where this is a replacement to my simple d-list (email distribution list). I guess this is an example of how the technology morphs over time.
Heidi also showed us about del.icio.us. While I'd heard of it and have seen it before, I'd not ever really studied it, so her presentation was a nice recap and has motivated me to go poke more at it and use it. If anything, it'll be a nice protection against my machine finally dying and loosing all of my links. ;) In terms of a tool for sharing links and information, seems like a nice storehouse.
Working with my peers simultaneously on Google documents was awesome! I've not done something like that in a while, so this was a great refresher!! I love technology!!! Instant updates and real time collaboration rule!
Now I have to put the last touches on my Second Life presentation for this week. :)
