Day 2

Today was a fun day.  We got to create new accounts on a few new websites and learn how to use some new things.  Some of the programs that we used today I already knew about so it was easy for me.  It was good to know how to go more in depth in some of the programs though.  


I am still iffy on Twitter.  I don't really get it and understand why it's so popular.  I have a personal account and I just use it to follow celebrities, but I go on it maybe once a week to check it.  Now that I have a professional account, I can see how it can help you network.  I still don't really like it though.  Maybe it will grow on me.  I use Facebook much more and all of my friends and family are on there, not Twitter so it's easier to stay connected with them.  


I really enjoyed the story exercise we did at the end of the day.  It was a fun way to talk to the other classmates and have fun.  We got to be silly and just think of random things to write.  It remidned me of an activity I had done when I was in elementary school.  Someone had to start a story with just one word, and the teacher would pick the next student to pick another word.  She would write them down as we go, making a story.  It would be very funny and we all had a great time doing it because we didn't know what to expect.


I'm also excited to try out Google+!
Until next time!....

  1. Joyce,
    I think you will see the value of Twitter from a professional standpoint eventually. It will really put you on the learning train!
