Blog 3 - Chapter 5














Good Morning Class, 

In chapter 5 you will read and learn about how to promote and how to have success in your networking. One term that they point out in chapter 5 is "bookmarking". They define bookmarking as a way to organize the content that you search online and grouping it together. The content that you search online can include either websites, pictures, and blogs that you can access. Also in chapter 5 they discuss an example of bookmarking and the example that they use is called Dingo. The app Dingo is a very helpful app if you decide to use it, and the brief rundown of Dingo is that it is an app to help you gather information from different websites and store it on your computer. Before starting this class I have never used blogger before, but since I have started using it, not only am I gathering information on different subjects, but I am learning new things from people who have a different stance on the subject than I do. There are many different ways you can expand yourself and your network. We have so much technology now, that it is hard not to use it and benefit from it. The internet is a very helpful tool, but you have to use it wisely. There are so many tools now to promote your networking. We have social media, we have podcasts, we have many things that we can use to our benefit. I have found that listening and watching certain things benefits me more than maybe reading about something. I feel that as technology grows we will grow with it. As for my job currently, and if I move up in my company we do a lot of things that promotes our business. We have a social media page, we have a website where patients can access what they are trying to find, and we have promotional events. With doing all of these things not only are we promoting the company but we establishing ourselves in the community. With doing this they can physically talk to us, ask us questions, and see if our services can benefit them. A huge contributor that we have is google reviews. With having these when people search for what they are looking for, we are the first place they see. If they are uncertain with coming and trying it, they get a chance to see how other people thought of us and benefitted from us. I think having a a good networking strategy and bookmarking it will not only benefit you, but it will benefit others around you.

    Hi Greg,
    I can also say that before this class, I also have never used Blogger before but it really is amazing. I am also learning more information and I think it is a good space to type your thoughts and reflect on what we are learning. I like how you mentioned that it is important to have a good networking strategy. It is significant because it can open up opportunities that might be out of reach and it can also create a strong professional relationship.

    Hey Greg, I think you provided a great overview of chapter five with your post. Learning about the various bookmarking and web tools in this chapter was really neat. It's cool to hear that this class is what introduced you to Blogger. I had used it before years back when I started doing movie reviews, but anymore, I don't really keep up with it. In spite of that, I can't deny the benefits that come with using something like Blogger, and so I hope you are enjoying it so far!

 Good morning,  After reviewing Chapter Two of the Connected Educator it talks about Practice a lot. Practice is a big part of our lives. If we don't practice how do we get better at something? I thought about all the times that I had to practice at something to get better. When I was younger practicing writing out my name, while I was playing sports you would practice to get better at the sport, we practice everyday do make ourselves better. There is always something you can work on. Whether is be work, school, sports, even doing something on a daily basis requires practice. When you start a job, they train you until they think you are ready. Every job that I have had up to date, I needed to train and practice so that I could excel at my position. My parents always told me that nothing is ever handed to you and you always should work hard and strive to be the best. It also talks about Diversity. What is Diversity? Diversity is  the practice or quality of including or inv...

 Good Morning,      There are people who set goals to achieve what and where they want to be. Others don't set goals, and sometimes have trouble finding what they want to do and where they would like to be. One term that was brought up was Networking. Now what is Networking? NetWorking is  is  t he exchange of information and ideas among people with a common profession or special interest, usually in an informal social setting . With Networking you not only provided people with your idea on the topic, but you also gather other opinions on the topic. With this it makes you think about how your idea may be the same as the others, or how it may be different than others. We have so many helpful tools now then we did before. We can use these tools and the knowledge that we have we can go as far as we try. As we try and navigate Networking, take some things into consideration and ask yourself is this person a professional and from what background do they come fro...
