Conclusion

--Originally published at 8326's blog

This activity was actually pretty interensting. I enjoyed having people from all over the world share their opinions about digital identity, besides the recommendations they gave us and the answers to our questions were interesting.

I believe this turned out better than Ken expected, even though at the beginning everyone was kind of lost about what we were doing. Maybe as a recommendation I would say to have a little more work durng the week, not that the hangouts were boring or anything like that, but perhaps we had a little more extra time to kill that everyone used as they pleased.

Anyway, I just want to thank Ken for making this iWeek better than expected and always sharing his enthusiasm and passion on his students he’s definitely one of the best teachers I’ve ever known. Keep up with the good work Ken!!

Blogging vs Vlogging

--Originally published at 8326's blog

Blogging or vlogging? What do you guys think about these? Do you think that one is better than the other one?

In my opinion (and more than in my opinion, in my life), vlogging has a greater impact in society than blogs; I believe this is because:

  1. The newer generations are either too lazy to read, or they’ve only watched videos during their short lives, so they’re used to that.
  2. Vlogging is more entertaining than blogging. This is because you can have music, images, videos, just whatever people enjoy a lot, and that makes it way more fun than just reading and reading.

On the other hand, I believe there are some advantages on blogging that you cannot show in a videoblog. For example, just as it happens between books and movies, reading gets your imagination going, you experience emotions on your own and interpret ideas differently than a video, which doesn’t let you imagine anything, but it shows you all the author wants you to see.

 

In the end, it’s not aBOUT (Canadian accent) which one is better than the other one, but which one works better for you, either as an author or as a reader/viewer. Here is an article I found about this topic which I found very interesting.

Visitor vs Resident

--Originally published at 8326's blog

The talk from yesterday was actually quite interesting (not that the others weren’t, but I liked this one a little more). I guess I never thought about social media in the way we saw it yesterday. It makes you realize and reflex on how long you actually spend on each social media and what you use it for. For example, I never thought of Google Drive as something you could divide in professional and personal, since I always looked at it as something I use mostly for myself, but as a matter of fact, I founf out that I use it more for school stuff, not really my personal documents and pictures.

In case you want to dig more into it, here is a video that explains what visitor and resident is:
