Wikipedia WAS a crutch

Wikipedia, has always been a source for me to get answers from. I never thought about actually reaching a subject and putting my knowledge into an article. So I have decided to do my own set of researching and actually click edit and save. After seeing how people from all over the world come in and talk about their articles, I realized that I can make an impact on the world too. I can go from just using wiki as a crutch to participating in the conversion. Instead of using wiki as training wheels, I can use it to impact people. How cool would it look to write an article forget about it and then come back to it and see how many people read and researched and contributed to the conversation that you started.

What I didn't know about Wiki...

From watching the videos about Wikipedia, I found out some interesting stuff. For instance, anyone can go on wiki and give his or her opinion, which is kind of crazy because when people comment on things and give their opinions things turn ugly. However, in wiki, people do not do that. They want to read about your opinion and see how you view a certain top. Another thing I like about it is that you do not need to sign up to anything to edit something. It is as simple as 1.2.3. All you have to do is click edit and save. Their aren't any nasty comments nor do you have to put your personal information in. When I was in high school my teachers hated wiki, but really it is a conversation on a subject to an audience. Doesn't that sound like the communications triangle? And how do you learn to write? By writing, and how do you write to learn? By writing for yourself then learning the language and learning how to write more formally.And to that, wiki allows you to do those things. Its pretty cool looking at it in that way.

How you write to learn

After watching a few videos on how to write, I developed my own little point of view of that topic. In the videos it stated that the way to learn how to write is that you have to write for yourself then for others. We all know that the only way to write is by writing. So my little add on was that you write to learn so that you are in the know. Asking questions, which was said in the videos is a great way to know. It is better to ask questions than to open up your mouth and sound ignorant. Writing to learn learn gives you the opportunity to know the language. You can do this by A, listing and B, writing about it. So when you are writing to learn learn it is for you. You begin to learn how to write for yourself and then you will be able to write more formally. When you are able to have a conversation, not based off memory, but off knowing, you have learned from writing.

Professional online image

Hey guys! So on Monday the 24th in class our teacher Mr. Hamon talked to us about an online professional image. As we all know, we need to get our act together and start preparing for one. My group and I started our Doc 1, and it is about just that. We talk about the importance of it, how to maintain an online image, and we also provided tips about. I won't go in to greater detail because you all should read it yourself, but the main parts are the ones listed above. We hope you enjoy our Doc 1 on professional online images.

My profession

My profession is nursing. I want to be a nurse for the money. I know that may not sound inspirational, but it is very motivating. I say that it is motivational because who doesn't want to make money. I wanted to make a decent salary and I researched and talked to a couple of nurses about the salaries and I really liked the numbers. So that is why I choose nursing as my profession.

All about Shawnise

Hello classmates! My name is Shawnise Addison, but my friends just call me Addison ( I guess its easier) My major is nursing, so hopefully I make straight A's so that I can be considered. I'm a really cool person and I like pop music and dubstep, some might call me an "Oreo". I didn't want to live on the Cochran campus because of the gnats( I hate gnats), however, I did want to live on the Macon Campus. I am from the city, Atlanta, and I was born in Minnesota. I like to do research on pretty much everything, especially on things I have to purchase. I am not a loud person nor am I a person who likes to "turn up". Not to say that I am boring or "too safe", I just like to chill. I am a mellow person. It's okay with me to go out to parties, but not all the time. I like to put school first because that's the main reason that I am here. I am Christian, and  I do not judge people on their beliefs. I like to draw, but I can't draw. I know that sounds weird but I'm saying that I like the idea of drawing and I wish I could do it well or at all for that matter. I also like to watch cartoons, I don't care how old I am, by the way I am 18. I will not be aged! That does not mean I am immature, it means that I like cartoons, that's it. I do not have a temper nor am I rude. I talk a lot once you get to know me other than that I may be quiet. I am considered a nerd but that's okay because nerds always wins! Well that's all about me, I look forward to knowing about all of you.
