Reflections on tutorial 3&4

Activity 2 (Blog Reflections)

    Twitter (micro-blogging) enhanced us in the sense that it helps to faciliate active learning. It helps to foster interaction about a given topic.Twitter can provide a simple way for attendees at a conference to share thoughts about particular sessions and activities with others at the event and those who are unable to attend. In this case, in eir friends are able to have a short post of what they have done in their previous or current sessions and show it to their friends that was absent the previous lesson.

    

    However, blogging shows a bigger picture of the stuff we have done as we are able to put in pictures that enhance our thinking and interest. Thus, blogging is better than twitter as it's a website whereby people can enter and view what you have done. In additional, you don't have to follow that person in order to read their post like twitter. It's tedious.

   
    Twitter and Blogspot can be used for research purposes:

   

      Twitterrers with a lot of followers certainly have an edge here. It happens    everywhere. If you have a group of people who are willing to hear what you have to say, or if you have friends who you can call anytime, you can just do that and ask them for opinions or anything.This leads us to the first way to perform research with Twitter, which is to ask!:) We can ask people questions. Not only does that encourage participation from his followers, but he also gets the information he needs to write the next blog post, or just as an insight to understand his audience better. For instance, if I search for tweets from Darren and his followers, I’d be able to find out answers from his questions and use those for writing ideas or for other things.


    In additional, Blog allows us to disscuss questions, using comments and chatbox. Thus, we can use questions and contribute for research purpose.
