Prompt Week 6

Reflect on what you have learned in the class and how you will use it professionally as both a lifelong learner and an instructional systems professional (or whatever field you’re in).

I have learned some new Web 2.0 tools. OK a lot of new tools and became reacquainted with some tools I had not really considered very useful to me(wikis in general) and began writing a blog that I curiously enjoyed writing, A lot!!

I will on a personal level reconsider uses of blogs and Facebook. On a professional level I have learned to walk around a tool a few times before passing judgment, case in point , foursquare. When others in the class began imagining other uses, such as field trips and museum applications, I did the smack to the forehead over it! I must remember not to dismiss things so readily.

As a trainer, I can see some of the applications being useful as classroom entities, but can't judge how things will be handled in our field offices in regards to 2.0.

USA Today says we spend a lot of time...

Time spent on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube grows
