Social Bookmarking Project

What's another way we can organize your computers? What about email? Your Favorite Websites? Your Blog Posts? RSS Feeds?


There are many various ways we can organize computers. The next big revalation that I think will come to the ogranization of computers will be more advanced screen sharing and multi-way editing through that screen sharing. There are already programs out there like Teamviewer that allow people to share their screens but the editng both ways feature is something that needs to be touched up on. I have a feeling that emails will evenatually go away and be replaced by fasted instant messaging. My favorite websites will eventually updated completely to run smoother on mobile devices because that is the future. RSS feeds and Blog posts will organize the way people think but I have this feeling that those services will slowly drift away.

Twitter/Instagram and the Future

 Twitter/Instagram and the Future

    Twitter is the next great educational tool. Twitter is a great program that can dither the education experience. With twitter, teachers can tweet out homework and assignments to ensure that students get the information that they need. This can also be used to remind students about assignments to make sure they get them in on time. With hashtags, teachers can organize all posts and feeds, and it can make it so that the teacher can check certain posts without having to go on a students twitter. With Instagram, teachers can once again, post assignments and possibly even pictures, that will help the students with the project. With a picture on the internet, the student can always have the assignment at all times as long as they have their device with them. Like twitter, a teacher can access a hashtag so try can see a certain post, but not the students personal profile.

     Certain problems can arise from this concept however. With the ability to view students profiles, it puts the teachers, and students at risk, for having their privacy invaded. Furthermore, other people can become aware of the hashtag and spam it, or fill it with material that is either inappropriate, or has nothing to do with the project, since anyone on the internet has access to that hashtag.
