Week 3

Today we learned more about Podcasting, Linkedin and the digital camera.
What I learned about the technology was that when you do a podcast it has to be absolutely quiet, it picks up every little noise. Linkedin I learned that some of the information that they ask you to fill out on it is not really required, or is stuff that they do not need to know. For the digital camera I learned that the one we have in class you have to push the button down and hold it down for it to take the picture.

How it can be used or is being used in you academic or personal life? Podcasting gets your voice out there for potential employers to hear. Linkedin is a professional website that helps you get jobs you can post your resume on it and people can contact you regarding various positions that they may have available. A digital camera lets you take pictures and see them right away and you can delete any that you do not like.

How can it be used in your intended career or job? Podcasting you can recording meetings so that you can type the minutes up later. Linkedin can help you get a better position in your office or in another office. Digital cameras can be used to take pictures of everyone around the office so you have a face to go with the name.

What work will you do before next class? I will post this blog, do my tweet, post my resume on linkedin, finish my podcast script for the 3-5 minute podcast recording and I will read pages 1-23 in my one note book.

What I learned about the technology, I learned about Wordle, blogs. Wordle can be used when you are brainstorming a topic for a report, a presentation, or even just for fun. Blogs are used to let others know what you are doing, or feeling. For the purpose of my blogs it will be letting you know what we learned in OAD 220.
How can it be used or is being used in your academic or personal life? Wordle can be used when you are brainstorming when doing a report, a presentation or anything similar to that. You can also use wordle for advertising purposes. Blogs let you also get the word out via the internet. Blogs are like journals or diaries the only difference is that everyone can read them not just you so be careful what you put in them.
