Week 7: Knowledge Sharing/Tracking Assignment Planning

Since I have now started to visual these blogs as my classroom journal - I thought what better topic to blog about then my process of planning and thinking about my knowledge sharing and tracking assignment. When thinking about two popular social media tools, I thought this would be a great opportunity to tie social media tools that I use personally to this project, that way I am not tracking added social media sites/tools which could possibly lead to burnout. 

With this in mind, I have been cognizant about recognizing which two social media sites I spend the most time on during my days and which two would be able to provide the most content for the project. Thanks to our handy dandy iphone's, it shows that my top two screentime social media site usage comes from Instagram and Facebook - to be honest I was shocked it wasn't TikTok #smallvictories

Does this mean I will be using those two, we will see, but this at least allows me to start mapping out if those two sites will provide the most useful content for the assignment. I think by investigating these two tools that I clearly already spend the most time on, I will be using my time wisely in the social media Web 2.0 world.

Blog 3: Week 1

 I did a family poll this week to see what was everyone's most used social media platform is. My immediate family is my partner and two dogs so the dogs didn't have an input ☺I also polled my parents and my sister. Below are the tallies of who uses what every day.  Facebook: 4 Instagram: 4 Twitter: 2 TikTok: 1 Some would argue this could be age related, however the ages ranged from 33 - 71, and the twitter users were in their 40's and 70's, Facebook was everyone, Instagram was everyone, and Tik Tok was in their 30's. Just thought it was interesting to get a perspective on what people are using. Ironically no one in my family blogs either, so that is not a common network or online community that is utilized. Something I did not think of but no one mentioned using it, was YouTube. I think about YouTube when I need to complete DIY for something around the house, or it opens automatically from a different site, but I don't view it as social media, when it absolutely

Week 4: Online Life

While progressing through class this week and attempting to become more integrated in other Web 2.0 communities and content, I can't help but find it overwhelming. I think there is a reason I am fully a part of some online communities and just aware of others. Maybe it is the feeling of a need  to check in or just not having the capacity to engage across multiple platforms. I am sure there is a term for it these days and I should go search for it, but I feel exhaustion from the internet  right now. Don't get me wrong, it is a privilege to have everything in the palm of our hands, connectivity to loved ones, access to information, maps, locations, etc., but living in the space throughout the day is exhausting.  I sat outside last night and reflected on my usage of all things that are internet related throughout my day and it is no wonder I feel overwhelmed. And yes, I strategically set outside so I wouldn't be around anything streaming or playing. Below is just a snap shot o
