BGI Learning Journal Week 1

Week 1: Post in Professional Learning Journal

  • If your professional learning journal is private, confirm that you have set the faculty to be able to read it.

Create a new blog post in your professional learning journal with one or more of the following:

Write in one or a few sentences your version of something important new that you learned last week that is relevant to the current week's topic.

  • The one thing that comes up immediately to mind about what I learned last week that relates to this weeks topic has to do with collaborative sharing and how that may or may not affect privacy issues about what I do and don't share as my networks begin to merge. I'm present on quite a few different social network sites, all for different reasons. I used Linkedin for business contacts, facebook for more social contacts, and twitter for informative contacts. Over time this different sites have allowed for merging, so that my postings on twitter for instance can go automatically to my Linkedin site and Facebook. This has led to increased efficiency and ease as I relay and share information, but also breaks down the network barriers that I entered the networks for in the first place. As these all become more linked together, they bring up a natural cost/benefit analysis for every post on ease vs. purpose.
List two or three websites from your delicious bookmarks relevant to the current week's topic.

Pose a question from one of your readings that would lead to fruitful class discussion — a discussion you are prepared to lead, if called upon.
  • The question I would pose deals with the issue between separate social networks and privacy. Do others in the class run into issue with trying to maintain separate social network profiles, and if so, is it advantageous or even possible to keep them separated, or should you merge them together and unify there message?
