Web 2.0 and Skills 2.0 reflection

Web 2.0

This article describes in detail the type of learning that has been the standard for generations and how it can be change to better fit this new 21st century generation. We need to evolve from the book and blackboard type of learning to the interactive and collective learning using technology and the resource of other people. Sites such as Wikipedia are already leaning in this direction, allowing people in general to come up with and share things they have learned. Personally I feel that this article speaks fact in that the idea behind Web 2.0 is true and needed. I my self being the front end of the new generation of Net users, I know that books and classroom lectures are starting to become things of the past and aren't doing as good of a job in educating the young as would using resource included in Web 2.0. The thesis behind the article to me is logical. I have seen first hand what the basics of E-Learning 2.0 and Web 2.0 can do for the learner. As for my own professional development, I can see Web 2.0 aplications teaching me in a way that I can establish connections with others while I'm at school and have a head start the new technologies that are need in the professional world.

Skills 2.0

This article is very similar to the Web 2.0 article. instead of describing the philosophy of Web 2.0 in detail, this article explains more of how to integrate or use this resource in our professional life. AS they state in the article we must collaborate with one another to make Web 2.0 work. We must face the fact that we can't know everything there is to know, but instead we can have a network of friends to help share the knowledge of one field to the next. I feel if we embrace this resource and more fully use it, we can do things in the professional world better and faster. If we limit our knowledge to just those around us we will not have that diverse of information. But if we extend our network world wide, our knowledge becomes that much greater from the people we know.

Introduction

This is me. This is right after my last tennis match as a senior in high school. I was team captain...tennis at Kahuku High school isn't all that great.


Well...Hello world! My name is Jeremiah and this is my blog. I live in Laie on the beautiful North Shore of Hawaii. I graduated high school from Kahuku High and Intermediate School. I am a freshman attending Brigham Young University Hawaii. I love to play sports like football and soccer, but especially tennis so if you want to play, just let me know. I love cruisin' with friends and just hanging out. My life is gooooood.


In this IDD class I hope to learn new things about the many different programs we are going to use. I have some experience with programs such as iMovie and Photoshop but the other programs will all be new to me. I am hoping this class will give me insight into what I might want my major to be.

Right now as an 18 year old, I don't have much to talk about. My aspirations for the future are kind of blurred but I do see my path which leads in a very general direction, I mean VERY general. Pretty much what I know I want to do in the future is to go on a mission and get married some day. So girls, just make a mental note, I'll back in 2 years if you feel like waiting.

I'm not a shy kind of guy but I do like to keep to myself, unless you make the first move and effort to introduce yourself to me. Don't be hesitant to say wassup or hey, I may look scare but I'm a pretty nice guy. You might see me around campus and sometimes driving a club cart; feel free to wave and ask for a ride, just don't tell security. I look forward to life as well as to this class.

P.S. Hit me up on facebook.
