What a Wonderful Summer

Endless lightning, afternoon raining, crazy AC bill, heat and humid, everything around me reminds me this is the dog days of summer in Florida. Moving around the corner, the final week on the way, and everything looks like mixed up together. I suffer, sweat and exhausted, but I believe I will be the survivor like a hero in the movie.

This class gave me a lot of opportunities to play and discover web 2.0 tools and social media features. And also brought a lot of new experiences for me. In the discussion board, we talked a lot of different topics related to the social media and web 2.0. Different perspectives, ideas, and points from classmates were always blown my mind. Through RSS, I was able to track almost every classmates' posts. Everyone has its own style and different point of interest, I can find a lot of fresh views through reading posts. Every week, I can play with different new web 2.0 and social media tools. Some of them are totally new to me. I can learn how to use them and I can think about how to embed these tools into the future instructional design. Of course, the project not only allowed me to imagine without the boards but also allowed me to create, criticize, and analyze in many ways.

I guess this might be the last post for Web 2.0 class. There is a good saying that misery can be accompanied with happiness. Although I feel tired and exhausted, I learned so much and discovered a lot in the web 2.0 word in such a short 6 weeks! I guess that probably the part of the joy and part of the process. 

Anyway, I will remember this wonderful summer and all the joys that web 2.0 world brought to me.

    I also enjoyed the tools we explored and the community we formed (though I did not enjoy the heat and humidity of another Florida summer, like you mentioned!)

4th of July, Nationalism and Social Media

I went to the Aaron Bessant Park, Panama City yesterday for the so called the greatest 4th of July firework show in the gulf coast area. The Aaron Bessant Park was decorated with flags, banners, and other decorations embedded with the elements of national flag's colors. People who joined this great celebration equipped with national flag colors' face painting, national elements' cloth, national elements' garniture, and, of course, their smartphone. From two hours before Panama City Firework Show until the party was over. People kept twittering, posting pictures on Instagram, texting on the Facebook, sending messages, and hosting live stream. No matter what they were doing, there was only one topic that is "4th of July". I noticed that people were creating a magnificent carnival embedded with nationalism at social media in that 3 hours firework show party. Whenever and wherever you are, with your phone or other appliance which is online available; as long a

Protect your Personal Property is important in Web 2.0 era!

I know this week we should focus on intellectual property. But some bad news happened in my friends prompted me to write this blog. I know the intellectual property is important in Web 2.0 era, but I want to say so your personal property is more important! We are all aware that Facebook, Craigslist, Oodle, etc. are platforms where you can buy and sell junk, find free stuff, post your yard sale ads and so on. Maybe those platforms look like can bring you a lot of convenient and sure they did, but those platforms can also bring hidden danger to you. My friend was robbed in his apartment this morning. The criminal shoved a handgun to his head, ordered him to hand over his MacBook and PS4. When he told me his news, I was shocked in front of my laptop which showed the websites I just browsed. I asked him about the reason why and how the criminal can get his apartment and property information. He told me, he was trying to sell some stuff he does not want any longer. All his stuff infor

Begin “Blog Story”

Hi, Welcome to Johnny's "Summer C 2017 Blog." I am so happy that I have a chance to get back to this fantastic social media tool again! Because I remember the last time I use blog was like 12 years ago!!! I want to share a story about blog and me today with you. I can still remember the first blog I created was on the "Sina" website. "Sina blog" is just a collective name which people who they set up their blog on the Sina' blog site. There's no doubt, at that time, "Sina blog" was the most popular blog site in China. But today, along with the rise of the web 2.0 and social media, “Sina blog" and other blog sites has gradually faded from our view. The reason why I created that blog is that my mom was a journalist, she was always on the cutting edge of the social media trend. When blog came into China, my mom thought that would be an excellent opportunity to generate a new mean of communication for her company. My mom told me
