Technology Blog 2: Chapter 6 - Building Your Connected Learning Community

 In Chapter 6: Building Your Connected Learning Community, it talks about the importance of implementing a learning community. For both professional and student enhancement in learning outcomes. It talks about networks in the digital world and that being a part of a learning community helps to better understand collaboration and knowledge. Educators can also collaborate with other educators on understanding these topic as well. 

Learning communities can also help educators with implementing solutions to issues they may have.  Collaboration is helpful when it comes to ones ideas and concepts and sharing those with others as well. It also highlights different types of learning communities like face to face, virtual, formal, and informal communities. It also describes social media being an important part for creating connections in these communities. There are also important roles in building your community. 


This pertains to my major in business because it talks about how important creating connections is within collaborations and exploring development in an organization or a project. Social media platforms are also crucial when it comes to businesses engaging with others. Also different departments in business can come together and collaborate on different projects too. These are all helpful things when it comes to business and creating useful connections with others.

Bood/Bad Website Smackdown

 Apple vs. Microsoft Website Smackdown I chose Apple for the good website because they make their products the focus of the home page on their website. They display their new products on the home page without any chaotic or busy backgrounds. Chaotic or busy backgrounds can be very distracting and may deter users from looking at a product or a service that a company is displaying. Having a completely plain background makes it easy to see the products and you are able to click to learn more about the product especially if it was just released. Apple also formatted their website in a way that makes it easy for users to navigate to get to where they need to go which is of course great. When learning more about Apple's products, they provide an in depth explanation of what the product does, what comes with it, and what accessories and other things you can buy for it.  For the bad website I chose Microsoft. The reason I chose Microsoft is because in my opinion, there is too much clu...
