The Beginning of IT 6230- Winter 2014

Usage of Gmail and Twitter have been, for at least 5 years now, in my favorites, visited at least once daily, used for social and professional networking and have been known to capture my full attention for much longer than anticipated! The blogging website, Blogger, was introducted to me and utilized during Undergrad, however I forsee myself spending time learning utilization tricks and tips!  

Thus far, one tool I have not used, but am aware of and acquainted with, is a RSS reader.  Of what I know, a RSS reader gathers desired articles based on the users personal preferences and assembles them into one portfolio; easy access to relevant, craved-for information in a timely and efficient manner is a RSS readers achieved goal.

Technology is an ever-changing topic resulting in the inability to CONTINUOUSLY be on the cusp of the newest, latest and greatest technology (in general), let alone educational or instructional technology. Take a moment and think about how closely intertwined and connected not only educational technology and instructional technology are, but then add in every other deviation of technology; each branch of technology plays a role, in some way, shape or form, with instructional technology and/or educational technology. With that said, in order to attempt to be up on the latest and greatest information in regards to educational and instructional technology, one needs to have an open mind to welcome and encourage comments, suggestions, critiques, discussions of other possibilities other than one's own.
