a.
define what social networking
is in own words
Social networking creates communities and
enhances relationships through online interaction and collaboration of
communities with shared interests. Social media provides an avenue for social
networking by the creation and sharing of content.
b.
list what social networking
technologies and sites you already use (for personal, work, study)
Facebook
I am a user of
and contributor to Facebook. I upload photos and content, share content,
comment on others’ content, inbox message as well as instant message friends. I
mainly use Facebook for personal reasons, but have recently used it for study
purposes through closed groups.
Pinterest
I am a user of
and contributor to Pinterest. I search through other contributors’ Pinterest
boards and repin to my own boards. I use Pinterest mainly personally. http://www.pinterest.com/rowbyrne/
Blogging
As part of my
study for Masters of Education (Teacher Librarianship) I had to create a blog
of my learning journey through the course.
I am also a user
and occasionally contribute to others’ blogs by way of commenting on posts. I
follow ‘Mummy bloggers’ such as The Organised Housewife for personal use. http://theorganisedhousewife.com.au/
YouTube
I am a user of
YouTube and have never contributed to it. I have used YouTube both personally
and professionally.
c.
describe what you expect to
learn from completing INF506
By completing INF506 I expect to learn how
I can use social networking more professionally as currently I use it mainly
for personal use.
I want to learn how to create a
professional social media profile so my personal social networking does not
blur with my professional life. I am planning on re-entering the workplace in
2015 and I want a professional online profile to follow me.
I am expecting to learn how to interact
with students in a way in which they want to interact. I expect to learn how to
bring the library to students through social networking as a way to encourage
them to bring themselves in to the physical space of the library as well as the
online world of the school library.
I would also expect to learn further
applications of social networking tools I already use. I am expecting to learn
how to be more of a contributor and not just a user of social networking tools. I have
seen already through the Facebook page that one student uses Pinterest for
suggested books and links to the library’s OPAC. This is an example of learning
more applications of tools I already use.
