Digital Ethnography » Blog Archive » Getting Started with Web 2.0 - 0 views

  • Web 2.0 refers to new websites that are more dynamic, user-driven, and interlinked (and interlinked in new and interesting ways).
  • An RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed is a way for news organizations, academic journals, book publishers, and virtually anybody who distributes information to distribute that information without any markup or formatting, so that your own browser or website can format it and make it look nice on your own page. You can add any RSS feed to a website like Netvibes. This allows you to have all of your favorite sites that are frequently updated viewable on one single page.

Presentation Zen: We learn from stories and experience - 0 views

  • Stories have an emotional component and when you engage people's emotions, even just a little bit, you stand a better chance of them paying attention and remembering your point (whether or not they agree with you is another matter entirely).
  • It was informative but also emotional. In this case, those things together made quite an impact and the content was memorable.
  • "Research and education has shown that field trips are remembered long into adulthood.  Why? Because you’re experiencing something rather than simply reading it in a book…. To experience something has a far more profound effect on your ability to remember and influence you than if you simply read it in a book.
