Reflection on delicious bookmarking

Delicious bookmarking is a free book marking site for the public. It's useful for academic research. We can follow famous people who have delicious accounts, we can search links by the topic or by author's name. When we find a good article for our assignment topic, we can easily save the URL address and create tags and comments to identify the main points covered in the article for the later use. We are able to add or edit links easily and make the link private or public of our own interests. Therefore, delicious bookmark is useful for academic studies if several research links want to be saved for school assignments.

Delicious bookmark is also convenient for group works. By knowing the account name of the user, we can access and open his/her public links. Teachers can also access students' saved links marked public to ensure they are on the right track of selecting relevant articles for school projects.

Reflection on academic uses of twitter

Twitter is beneficial for academic studies and research in three areas. First of all, twitter can be used in course related works. It's easy to follow teachers and classmates who have twitter accounts and send and receive short messages to each other. Same discipline applies to career related works, it's very convenient for communicating between workmates.

Twitter can also be used in academic research. We can follow the subject of our research topic or follow professional people such as scientists or authors. We are able to assess their tweets and pick the good ones for our research topic.

Lastly, we can use hashtag function in twitter to categorize tweets. It helps us distinguish between tweets. We can create group hashtag or own hashtag. It's useful for group discussions in academic studies. By looking at those three benefits of using twitter, I believe that we can use twitter for our future tertiary course studies and career fields.

Second version of reflection on use of email in academic study

        I personally think email protocols that we learned from the computer class are very important to assist with academic study and represent a professional image. All emails should have subject line that uses appropriate information in order to make email’s main topic clear to the receiver without any confusion, and also demonstrate the composer’s well understanding of the sent item. It’s important to address the receiver’s title in the correct form and make it clear if it is confidential. Thus, the composer shows respect to the receiver and conveys an image of profession in regards to write a well-constructed email. Moreover, bulk or group emails should be sent with blind copies because they protect all receivers’ addresses securely in privacy.

        From my point of view, all attachments should include a header and a footer contains file name and path, as it gives me a chance to demonstrate a professional image when we do academic study. In addition, it is going to impact my behavior towards my future career as a teacher, as I build up my email protocols’ knowledge and apply them significantly in my field.

                                                                                                                                                                           Equally, it's important to secure email password and use a reliable back up email. I feel two steps verification is very effective in regards to secure our emails. By the same token, change passwords regularly aims to enhance the security of the privacy.
