Blog Technology As a Learning Tool



In the past week I was reading many blogs about technology. For example Bits, the business of technology was talking about the relationship between Facebook and Twitter, they said “In the world of social networks, Facebook and Twitter can be compared to the old children’s story “The Tortoise and the Hare.” But this race is not judged by speed but by the long-term relationship with users and their privacy
The best blog I read was Technorati, they talk about everything with technology, technology in art, technology in church, technology in telecom. This one is very interesting; you can find anything you want.
The third blog is IFS world, about technology, innovation, and creativity. I read a nice article named Together is Smarter, it said:   Speaking of creativity and innovations, the most important word is together. To do things faster and smarter we have to help each other. Any communication disruptions will interfere and slow down the innovation process.
I found a common theme between them is technology, since our world now is depending on technology; there is no way to stay away from it.
The thread or the topic of the blog is making your blog is more interesting and useful for your readers.

  1. Thanks for your links, Samir. I checked out Technorati and you are right--there is a lot of info there! I liked how they list the blogs and give a brief description. What are you finding to be the best way to search these blogs? I am finding that I get pulled into the blogosphere, and tend to get lost. There has to be a great way to separate the good from the bad, right?

  2. I like the comparison of technology to the Tortoise and the Hare. In this journey through the cohort we are on a journey to encourage, share, and develop learning relationships. I enjoyed reading about the blogs you have read. Remember to link your resource to be an online reference source.

  3. I like how you discussed how technology is everywhere, and is becoming normal throughout our everyday activities. If you did not see the video on Amy's wall you should check it out (although the video is already outdated.

    I think it is crazy that you can tweet at a TV show (@historychannel, @espnsnews, @cnn) Now it seems as if emails are obsolete because of all the quick communication tools we have like texting and twitter. Heck, even Blogger thinks that "texting" isn't a word .... welcome to 2012 Blogger :)

  4. @ Mel and @ Samir I use Google Reader to get through all the information out there from the blogs. It does take some time to set-up, but in the end it is worth it. Technorati is a great blog! Yes, there is a lot of information, but something for everyone I guess!
