Thing #19

Are you a member of any online communities?

I'm a member of Facebook,Twitter, and IMDB. I also use Instagram, YouTube, and Pinterest, if those are considered online communities. Another popular online community I've joined is Myfitnesspal. I use it to track my calorie intake and my cardio. It can also be used to share weight loss stories and advice. When I was expecting my second baby, I joined Babyfit. That was so neat because you can join a forum with other ladies who are expecting the same month and year as you. It was so exciting to share growing belly photos, doctor appointment updates, and gender news.

Are any of these social networks appealing to you?

I blogged about Classroom 2.0 in my last post. I found it so organized and loaded with information for teachers or blossoming teachers. It certainly appealed to me and I'll most likely keep it bookmarked.

What did you find that was interesting and that you might use later?

I found it interesting that so many of the sites mentioned, and others like it, are considered online communities. I've used them for so long, it's simply become part of my everyday living. I've become numb to how innovative they are. You don't have to walk out your front door to be part of a community or find people with the same interests as you.
