This week I spent a great deal of my time on the BB discussion board, posting several original thoughts as well as replying to discussion points. I established a yahoo pipes account and created a tool to dynamically aggregate all of our class blogs into a single source that can be embedded into the BB framework. This tool can be modified to collect any source of c0-constructed information (e.g., de.licio.us and diigo) on the web. I read all of my classmates blog postings and lurked/participated in a CG-related Blog and Facebook account for our social media project. Of course I read all the required readings. I honestly believe that the unstructured form of this course allows me the freedom to explore, but requires extreme discipline to stay on topic.
And now you've added something else I must go check out. This Yahoo pipes thing sounds very interesting - I may have questions.Off to check it out!
ReplyDeleteThis looks really useful. I will play with it a bit this evening and see if I can get it set up to make reading all the feeds a bit more efficient. Thanks for the insight!
