Week 1: What have been your prior experiences with social media and Web 2.0 technologies? Do you consider yourself a leader or follower in this realm, or something else altogether? Why? Also, discuss what you hope to get out of this class.
Starting this course my experience with social media and Web 2.0 technologies is limited to Facebook and I actually only got a smart phone last year. I signed up for a Pinterest account a year or two ago but quickly became frustrated and did not take the time to learn how to use it. I think my experience clearly identifies with a follower in this realm, but really I would classify myself as a novice. I am excited to take this class and overwhelmed because this is not my area of expertise. There have been several occasions where I looked into using a technologies such as Pinterest or Instagram and gave up because I couldn't even figure out where to start.
There are several things I would like to get out of this class. First, I would like to be able to clearly define what Web 2.0 entails. Second, I want to familiarize myself with the available resources for this field (as I have already learned about several new programs in these first few days). Thirdly, I would like to be able to operate these tools and there educational purpose. In the process I hope to find a way to incorporate some of these tools into my profession since the CG has limited exposure in this realm due to security.
