As I have stated before, I am new to the cyber virtual worlds and applications. In 1995, I sent my first email well after I graduated with my undergraduate degree in 1993. I am a naturalistic learner and I enjoy being outdoors as my comfort zone in learning. I started a facebook account in November 2008 and quickly connected to friends throughout my past.
When I started Full Sail University, I choose to create a second facebook account that was specific to Full Sail University classmates and professors. I felt it is was better to focus my new account on academic and professional networking, rather then the as a social free for all.
There have pro’s and con’s to having multiple accounts within one web 2.0 application as my personal friends attempt to gain access to my Full Sail account through a friend request. Rather then have my friends’ personal updates on their life, I attempted to use my new facebook account as a professional network of classmates and instructors. Now I can separate the personal entries of my friends and the personal lives of my clssmates.

Facebook has bee a great way for me to keep in touch with old friends and such. I've about had it with the smiles, drinks, and hugs, as I have no time to play with the tools. It is nice however to know that friends are thinking of you and trying to keep you in the loop. I, too, created a separate account for Full Sail to separate personal from school use.
ReplyDeleteTake one day at a time to explore the virtual world. Rome wasn't built in a day. Over time you will get the hang of it all. The more you use the internet and the tools there will definitely build confidence.
