During this module I learned about the various social media tools that are available over the internet. The thought that something like googledocs and other sharing tools might exist never crossed my mind. These applications are extremely useful and I'm glad that I got the experience using them. I'm sure I'll be using the very often in my future professional career.
I also didn't know much about blogging. I will probably use these to find out information about personal interests and hobbies. It's pretty useful to have all this information organized in such a manner.
It's good to know that there's so much more to social media other than the usual facebook and twitter. It would be great if there was more exposure for some of the other applications. I think the masses would greatly appreciate what these applications can do for them.
I think I put adequate time and effort into this learning module. I do need to improve on keeping track of due dates though.
Vocab:
Wikis - a website that allows the easy creation and editing of any number of interlinked web pages via a web browser
Microblogging - A microblog differs from a traditional blog in that its content is typically smaller in both actual and aggregate file size. Microblogs "allow users to exchange small elements of content such as short sentences".
Channel - a specific chat discussion that might be on a given topic or with a certain set of participants
SMS - the text communication service component of phone, web or mobile communication systems, using standardized communications protocols that allow the exchange of short text messages between fixed line or mobile phone devices
