Final Blog Post

I feel like I have learned a lot of important real life information while taking this class this semester. I think that most important thing that I have learned that has helped my growth as a learner and a collaborator has been how our course content is used in the real world. The main thing that continued my growth as a collaborator was what I talked about in one of my blog posts about my friend whose memes went viral. He used Twitter as his main platform for his content and used hashtags to help spread it to more people. The next blog post that I wrote that shows my growth as a learner is my post about spreadable media. Spreadable media is one of the main topics that I learned that I felt had the most meaning in real life situations. Another one of the topics that I wrote about is algorithms that are used by websites to direct specific topics to people so that they see what the algorithms make them see. I also learned a lot about other classmate's blog posts. For example, Noelle's post about the Hydro Flask tasks from the cooperation.org project showed me the assignment from the point of view of another student. Also Caroline's post about Instagram and whether or not to accept a friend request from random people and putting your account on private. It was about how many people on social media are not actually more social than if they were not on social media. Finally, in Emma's post about having friends on Facebook she talks about how people don't have real friends on social media because a lot of the time people haven't actually met some of their Facebook "friends".
