Lesson 2: Online Communities

I chose Facebook as my Online Community. I have been a member for quite some time, and really enjoy it. It has helped me stay connected with people from many years back. Elementary school, Middle school, High school, college, summer trips, colleagues... you name it, I have friends from there! It is a great way to stay in touch with people that in the past, would have become people you never spoke to again. It has helped me keep in touch with family members as well. There are many way to do this. Through sharing pictures, sending PM'S (e-mails), online chatting, and so much more. Facebook also offers a variety of fun things to do with your friends. This includes sending stickers, playing games, and party groups that allow you to invite guests to certain events. Facebook also has a variety of groups you can join to support certain causes, or just because it is a hobby or interest of yours.

Facebook is a very modern Online Community and I enjoy it very much! It is very useful and a great way to connect with others!

Lesson 1: Blogging

My name is Kat Callaway, and I am the Library Assistant II/Night Supervisor for Emporia State University Libraries and Archives.

I really enjoy using blogger! I am not new to it, and find it to be a useful tool in many aspects! It is great to communicate not only on the work front, but in your personal life as well.

I am excited to be learning about other useful tools through 23 Things Kansas in the coming weeks!
