Blog Post #5

I joined the THE APPLE GROUP on Diigo. Apple and its products have amazed me throughout the past couple years so without a thought when i saw this group I had to join it. Apple is very intriguing to me and how advanced its technology has come in a short time. Also the other thing I am amazed with is how user friendly apple products tend to be regardless of age group generally the use of the product tends to have no issues when learning how to use the product.  In this group there is various resources for different companies and how the apple products are used in different forms for various sources. The uses of the group connect young and old alike to connect and use the apple products in various forms and how they can benefit you personally as well as at work or in the field you may work in. Networking websites being used in a classroom can go many ways in my personal opinion I believe it can affect how the class functions. I believe in showing students various thoughts and opinions so they can be able to build their own on the subject matter or whatever the topic may be. So for me personally I feel having network websites available to the students can help the environment of teaching and learning however lets not allow it to confuse students. I know it can be hard when you hear three or four different opinions about a subject it can be confusing. From my own personal experiences it seems to confuse me as well when I was in school even though networking is not what it is today. I spend most of my personal time networking on such sources as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram I enjoy social media and the ability to network with other peers as well as seeing what others are interested in as well. I am always curious as to what the trends of the world are as well as stay in touch to what people are talking about. By joining this group I think I can benefit by learning how the different companies use the apple products I myself have a Macbook, Ipad and Iphone. So i think by joining this group it can only benefit my personal uses of the apple products.

  1. David,
    The Apple Group is one of my favorites on the Diigo website as well. I feel the same way about Apple products. I have a desktop computer, iPad, and iPhone that are all Apple products. All very user friendly and great tools. The Apple Group on Diigo has a lot of topics on how to use their products and the latest apps for iPads and iPhones.
    One major benefit to using social networks in classrooms would be for group presentations and projects. These sites allow anyone to easily connect with one another.
    Thanks for the feedback on my post and the info you shared with us.
