So I have decided to do this second version of the Web 2.0 program. I didn't complete the program previously for a couple of reasons. First, all of this stuff isn't new information to me. Being younger than many of my colleagues, these sorts of online activities have become ingrained for my generation. That made the thought of going through a program consisting of several weeks of work and assignments (in addition to my normal workload) seem almost tedious. Second, this is not the type of learning that I enjoy. If I want to learn something, I prefer just being able to go in and play around until I can get it to do what I want. I don't necessarily want to have to do a list of assignments and then talk about what I did. But, I decided to suck it up and participate this time.
This week's assignment on learning about blogs was both easy to learn and easy to do. Additionally, Blogger seems easy enough to use. I like the idea that Blogger mentioned in the tutorial that a blog can just be a private space to gather thoughts, links, news, or any other info. I know that many people use their blog to send out their opinion on whatever may be going on in their life and the world, the idea that everyone has a soapbox. But this spurred a thought: if everyone else is putting their opinion and/or information out there, how can you ever really be heard?
