Cool Aggregation

Week 10 of my course thought me how to bring all my social networking sites together through an aggregation tool. I choose Yahoo! since I already have an account. This is a really cool tool. I am learning to link all my other sites into one - FB, travel sites, news sites, blogs etc.

This makes it easier to access. It's like getting a new toy. I will be experimenting with more!

Cheerios!

My Facebook Link

I started using Facebook early this year. It was because so many of my friends tagged me but I didn't bother much initially as the interest wasn't there. One day however, one of my friends called me and said they found so and so on FB and who are they now, what they were doing. These are all my ex-classmates from primary right up to uni days. Wow! I thought this is interesting so I gave it a try. I am really enjoying it since. Here's my link:

I noticed the links posted by some of you is a little different. Your URL has your name in it but mine is different. I wonder why? Can anyone explain please?

Educational resources online

There are more and more educational resources out there and one can find these materials quite easily. This is all thanks to technology and the many brilliant people out there creating the various platforms for sharing of information. All we need to do is ask and you shall be given.

I came across this on youtube about technology and student learning. It makes learning easy and fun.

And the very fact that we are blogging about our experiences and sharing our links and ideas with others says it all.

I am really glad to have enrolled in this emergent technology course. Looking forward for more

Tweet.......tweet.......twittering

My first attempt at twittering. Tried all the usernames I wanted but none went through, it was all taken up! Can you believe it, there are so many Christine Wong out there. Anyway, I was getting frustrated when Dr. Irene suggested this name 'Chubbycheeks'. "Hahahaha....sure no takers" she said. "Try it" she laughed. "No way am I gonna use that name" I said.
Anyway, I tried it and it was available, as predicted. What a name right but I didnt use it. I got another one instead.
