1/30/17 Social Bookmarking CE

  • I've developed a slightly different understanding of social bookmarking after reading this article. I didn't realize there was such competitiveness in relation to the subject of users and viewers. 
  • I do think social bookmarking is a useful tool as it makes accessing websites related to our area of interest a lot easier. 
  • The article I read wasn't very current, but I did learn that in 2006 the leading social bookmarking websites were del.icio.us and StumbleUpon.

1/25 Social Bookmarking

Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking is essentially a method of marking websites on a page so they can be easily accessed. This is most commonly used to advertise websites to the viewers on your page. These links should be somewhat associated to the site on which they are posted. For example, web bookmarks can typically be found on blog posts. This is an effective way for bloggers to draw attention to their social media sites.

1/20/17 - Prezi Reflection


     I believe Prezi presentations are simpler and easier to use than PowerPoint, they're also great attention grabbers. Although I consider Prezi an easier tool when it comes to presentations, PowerPoint, in my opinion, is a lot more effective for a broader range of things. PowerPoint would be better to use than Prezi in more formal or professional settings. But for example, in situations where art and creativity is influenced, Prezi would more likely be a better choice of the two. I would use Google slides in all honesty, but I'm more likely to use PowerPoint than Prezi because it has more options than Prezi.
