Journal# 2 Digg and Affinity Groups
This Week I signed up for a affinity group that is located
on twitter.
This affinity group is solely based on technology/ new
technology that is currently being released or developed. It is fairly
interesting because it allows you to look at videos, and even Q & A
sessions that the group might be part of. When I went to my Digg account I searched for
a few things on World History (since I have a Single Subject Teaching
Credential in Social Science) and a ton of great things popped up. One of the
most interesting things I found right off the bat inked me to a Tumblr. Post on
different maps that showcased how Europe viewed Africa between the 1700-1800’s
Although this is what I have found as the most interesting,
there was still tons of material that caught my eye. Also I enjoyed how you can
almost search for anything, and within specific topics as well. I believe that
you can use this as school assignments as students for school projects as well.
I do believe that Digg can be used as a very functional and effective website
for both starting/ veteran teachers!
Q 1: Do affinity groups only exist on academic sites?
A1: NO, affinity groups can actually be found in many social
media sites such as Twitter and Facebook.
Q2: Can Digg be used
to look up multiple different topics?
A2: Yes, Digg can be used to look up many different topics
that might span from education to non education materials! All you have to do
is type in a topic in the search bar.
