2/01/16- Words for Teenagers

This post is harsh and to the point but it does a good job of explaining how teenagers need to take responsibility and learn to grow up because you will not always get everything handed to you in life. I completely agree with this because in this generation of teenagers, too many people are complaining about how hard their lives are and how it's difficult to get good at something but that's just reality. They need to accept the fact that nothing great comes easily, but there can still be beauty in the process and growth. This post motivates me to step up and work harder for my goals and dreams because I am the only one who can take total control of my life and make my self a success.

1/30/17 Social Bookmarking CE

After reading an article called "I'm calling it: Social networking is over," I've learned that there is a big difference between social bookmarking and social media. The difference is social bookmarking is for  personal content and social media is for professional content and social media is now overpowering bookmarking because people want to share more videos and articles rather than personal information. Social bookmarking is helpful, but social media is becoming much more used by the millennial generation because of messing apps like snap chat and other social networking devices like YouTube and twitter. I learned a little more about LinkedIn and I think that would be a helpful social bookmarking device to use in the future for business and job opportunities.

1/25- Introduction to Social Bookmarking

Social Bookmarking is an online service that allows users to add and share bookmarks of websites and web documents. The purpose is to organize your favorite websites and pages onto one page so you can access them and it also allows you to browse through the most popular websites on social bookmarking websites. I personally use the social bookmarking website called Pinterest because it's easy to type an interest into the search engine and find the best results without having to scroll through a bunch of useless material. You can also create boards and join other's boards to create pins which is very useful and popular new trend. I would recommend Symbaloo if you're new to social bookmarking because it's simple to use and allows you to easily navigate the web and save favorite websites that you can access everywhere. Instapaper is also a popular bookmarker and allows you to simply press a button called "read later" to save an article and then  you can access that same article whenever on your computer, iPhone, kindle, or iPad.

1/18/17- Prezi Reflection

Now that I've used Prezi as a presentation method, I think it was a little more difficult to use than PowerPoint. PowerPoint is a lot more straight forward and basic, but I've also been using it since middle school so that is mainly why I thought it was more easier to navigate and create. Depending on the presentation, I would say Prezi is better used for informal speeches like "About You" presentations or school related things, but PowerPoint is better used for business or formal presentations. Prezi has a more creative and playful way of presenting things, but I think PowerPoint is much more straightforward and basic but sometimes that is better when preparing a long speech so the audience doesn't get distracted by the screen. Next time I do a presentation I will probably revert back to PowerPoint because I like how you can add transitions to slides and make sentences pop up on each slide. Prezi is a great tool and can show a lot of your personality through the slides but I don't think it's appropriate for a business or serious event.
