Assignment 12, Blog Post 2: Experience integrating Social Media in the Class

Prompt: Please talk about your experience of using social media tools for learning, how you used the blog, YouTube, and comments, how they are different from traditional learning tools, what is the value of using these tools, and how you can do it even better.

I learned so much from interacting with others, and thus, I really enjoyed the interactive component of this class. We learn so much from our peers. Also, overtime, I got comfortable with talking in front of the webcam and making videos of the material. I enjoy filming myself in general, so I also really liked that aspect of the class. I thought it was really nice to have the online component paired with the offline component (discussions in class). I also think that listening to other student’s videos allowed us to get to know other students and their interests better, and this also facilitated having the conversations in class. Social media is convenient because it allows people to be in different places at different times and still communicate effectively. I do think I spent a lot of time doing the blogs and making them detailed. I think something that I can improve on is tying concepts from different blogs together. I did do that several times (such as with evergreening of pharmaceuticals), but finding more connections would be nice. I really hope everyone enjoys reading my blog, because I sure enjoyed reading everyone else's blogs! J Good luck on finals everyone!
