Week 9 Reflection


      Reviewing this week's usage and learning through the use of Slack, GroupMe, and WhatsApp tools that facilitate group collaboration for many types of sharing. I'm also learning about Miro, a brand-new project management and team communication application that I have never used before. There are benefits associated with each of these tools. Slack, GroupMe, and WhatsApp are three platforms that each have special characteristics that can be useful for various things. Slack allows you to group chats into channels according to teams, projects, themes, etc., which makes it simpler to search for and follow discussions.

It is possible to thread replies within channels to maintain focused and unambiguous dialogue. Numerous applications, including Google Drive, Zoom, and numerous others, increase efficiency by enabling users to access and control numerous services from a single platform. Processes can be streamlined, and manual duties can be reduced by using custom bots and automated workflows. GroupMe is simple to use and intuitive, a broad range of users including those who may not be tech-savvy can utilize it. Accessible across several platforms, including as web browsers, iOS, and Android.

Within groups, users can create events, which facilitates easy activity planning and coordination. Within groups, sharing images and videos is simple for users. Conversations are made more entertaining with the integrated GIF and meme generators. Finally, WhatsApp is a useful tool for international communication because it is extensively utilized throughout the world.

Accessible via WhatsApp Web on web browsers, iOS, and Android devices. Supports phone and video calls in addition to text and voice messaging, documents, images, and videos.

Learning and Enjoyment

There are a lot of facets in the realm of social media. My experience has taught me that I can teach or learn about social media use. I've had to share input from previous educational experiences about things I've learned or want to learn. I currently use Instagram, for instance, to de-stress from the outside world. I like scrolling through adorable pet photos and watching videos. I don't post anything on Instagram; I use it to unwind and take in other people's content. Social media can be utilized for several purposes, including informational purposes, amusement, product sales, and spiritual uplift. Which I may say I find enjoyable. As I've previously stated, social media may be utilized for education. Using social media sites like YouTube and Instagram has taught me a lot. Two examples are trying a new recipe or learning to utilize software I'm unfamiliar with.

Week 1 Reflection

  I have learned much more than I thought I knew about Web 2.0. This week has been an eye-opener, showing me that I need so much more and would like to learn more.  As a school counselor student, social media or Web 2.0 can help enhance the knowledge and guidance I provide. I do not know everything about social media and have been reluctant to get involved in many of it for personal reasons. However, knowing there are safety nets, and I can just explore and improve my learning, I am willing to try.  I have been accustomed to using Instagram for entertainment and YouTube for learning and relaxation. A while back, I set up a Facebook account to stay connected with church members, but I needed to set myself away from it just for my mental health. However, having communities and networking opportunities is a way to stay connected and learn from one another.

  I've completed my first week of blogging. I never would have thought to try something like that in this class. But the first week went well, and things will improve over time. It is a fun approach to learning about other people's perspectives on various issues. I've enjoyed expressing my views on many subjects and watching how it all turns out, and so far, I'm happy with the outcome. Blogging can serve as a tool for both teaching and learning, depending on the user and the content being shared. Additionally, blogs can be used for amusement. I finished my research on blogs and why people use them last week. Seeing how others felt and the reasons behind their blog choices was fascinating.
