I hope that everyone is enjoying their last couple of weeks of the semester!
This week we took a look at wiki's and at how they can be used in order to aid your learning, I personally did not know much about wiki's and how they were able to help with my learning, but after exploring them I found that they can be very useful to me. I can see myself using a wiki in order to collaborate with peers and this feature also allows you to make changes and revise some work with others as well and I think that this is a great tool because then you are able to get the input of someone else and this can help improve your work. Even though I like this tool, I still feel as though I would use Google Docs more just because I am more familiar with it and I like the idea of being able to share my work with anyone.
This week also focused on digital rights and responsibilities and what were the three topics that we found were the most important. I personally chose right to privacy, content ownership and right to free speech. I find that all of these topics are important and connect with each other because they all have the one aspect that we as an individual are allowed to post what we feel, but at the same time making sure that it is appropriate for others to view unless you make it so that you are the only one able to view the post.

One thing from taking this course that I have learned about myself is that bad habits are things that take concentration in order to break. I mention this because as I am going through and working on this classes tasks every week I was finding that at the beginning I was taking a lot longer than needed because I would also switch over to Facebook or some other sort of social media. But after going through my Feedly account this week I found a TEDTalk video on breaking bad habits. I found this video to be very helpful and that I could relate to many of the things the man was mentioning and I can say that I am going to try and use some of his techniques in order to break some of my bad habits and help me become more focused as I am working on school work whether it be this class or another. If you would like to watch that video you can click HERE.
Until next time,
Amanda :)
