Week 1: Let's Get Going

The first week's activity was to familiarize ourselves with the Blackboard site and then sign up for the Facebook page for INN 333 Information Programs. I am a fifth year university student so therefore, I am very familiar with the QUT Blackboard site due to having five years of experience using it. In order to complete this, a few activities had to be accomplished. These activities included, introducing ourselves by answering a set of questions. The questions that needed answering were:

•     who you are
•     what degree and major you're in
•     where you're up to with your studies
•     what you're hoping to get out of the unit
•     one thing about yourself that no body in the class knows

I am a user of Facebook and also quite experienced at using it. Thus, finding the group and joining it was not a difficult task. I found the group with ease, requested to join and upon joining answered the questions accordingly in order to introduce myself to the class. The third task was to join Twitter by exploring Twitter and using the classes hash-tag to locate it. Once again, I am a user of Twitter so I completed this task with ease. I have completed Web 2.0 subjects in the past and they have very similar steps to this so rejoining and embracing this Personal Learning Network brings back good memories of subjects I have already completed.
