Thing 9


is the link to this image. I posted a blog on what i thought as well.

Thing Huet

Wiki has a wide array of different topics that can be helpful. The credibility isnt always valid though. It could work well for an assignment where you have to practice your writing and descriptive skills. They could use it as somewhat of a lab project and research. I think that it is wise that wiki is banned from acedemic assignments.

Thing Sept

I thought the google doc was easier and more to the point. The features were fairly similar to me. Had the same concepts.

Thing Six

1. Digg could be used for a report or design project by the extensive views shown on this site. There are several different topics and concepts.
2. by doing research and confirming facts in posts and articles.
3. By submitting and publishing interesting and informative articles. People will be able to see your interests and what is important and will be able to connect on a better level with you.
4. The sites can be linked and you and post your opinion.
5. You are able to view the main source of the article.... author, editor, magazine, newspaper etc.
6. This question doesnt really appeal to me. I dont follow that drama.
7. Again doesnt appeal to me.

Thing Cinq

1. I made a profile for both Twitter and Plurk.
2. I guess it is interesting if you want to know what everyone is doing at all times. It somewhat seemed pointless to me.
3. All networking is good but the profile set ups were not catered for a professional level. It is more so media and gossip.
4. Could cause negative perception of other people and also distractions from more important events.

Thing Quatre

Since I already have a Facebook and Myspace page I decided to set up a profile on Linkedin. I thought this would help me network with other professionals that will better my future in the career path I have chosen. My weblink is http://www.linkedin.com/pub/jennifer-berge/17/7a0/676
I was able to upload my resume and create a profile that describes the type of work I am in.
I will use this to be able to connect with other individuals in that same line of work and be able to come up with new ideas to supporting my future.

Thing Trois

1. Ai Student portal has alot of different sources available to students. It is a good place to get information, network and communicate w/ other students and staff.
2. Its a good resource because it helps you stay connected and also gives you access to your academic progress.
3. I find the email very useful and also the student events.
4. The problem I had was my login information and password. It took me a while to get that figured out. I also had to learn where everything was on the site.
