Week 1 Curation

If I’m being completely honest with you guys, I had never even heard of the word “curation” until this class.  I am very interested in figuring this entire thing out and using it as a learning experience.  I am also probably the dumbest person when it comes to computers and technology.  I’m the one in the class that is constantly asking stupid questions about how to open up a document or finding something within my computer.  I usually even struggle with online classes but I have learn a lot and that’s why I continue to enroll in these classes to learn how to figure all of this out before I enter into the real world.  I forget bookmarks on the internet even exist and did not think anyone used them, but after learning more about the bookmarks, I can see how they can make life a whole lot easier especially with how tech savvy everything is becoming now.   I use Firefox on my computer because all my other internet browsers have viruses on them (yes, I know I need to get this fixed) and I made my first bookmark for this class!

Along with social media and other curations, I do use them all the time.  I typically do not use Twitter.  It confuses me and I find it a little bit pointless.  Although I have one, I usually just use it for funny pictures and UberFacts when I get really bored.  With that said, I use Facebook for just about everything in my life.  I upload all my pictures to Facebook so my family back home can see what I’ve been up to, and I love seeing all the new and exciting things that are going on in my friends and family’s life.  I think Facebook is a wonderful connection to meet and reconnect with old friends or even for business opportunities.  I also use Facebook for groups and keep up with all the information within those certain groups.

I love Pinterest, too!  I typically use Pinterest when I am bored or trying to fall asleep.  I love finding new recipes to try, fun workouts, and cute outfit ideas.  I also love DIY projects and this is the place to find the most brilliant ideas to spark some creativity.  I hardly ever post anything on Pinterest but I have about 20 different boards that I organize all the fun foods, workouts, projects, and life hacks.
