part 1- Professional communication technologies

In this section I have read the course reader on professional communication technologies, and from this i understood the intention of it being an explanationatory form of  a creator/producer of the work to the reader (1-1) in other words its a simple form to direct information from one person to another. On the other hand, web 2.0 is a extensive form of explanation with different platforms and implements, which allows the sharing of various users, expanding the form of communication.








Here is a printscreen which i obtained from a website ( http://learningfutures.wordpress.com/what-is-web-2/ ) which gives me a bigger understanding of the differences between both web 1.0 and 2.0
I have also collected a map by Markus Angermeier which interested me and brought a wider understanding into my thoughts on this task.

overall through my research the discoveries i have come across between both webs are their differences and the impact it has towards us who seek a profession which involves communicating, participating and collaborating with other people through techonology. (architecture of participation)

there are 3 descriptive parts of Web 2.0




  • (RIA) Rich Internet Application-  this source defines the engaging experience which improves the productivity of a web making the reader's interaction more captivating and engaging.




  • (WOA) Web- oriented architecture- this source plays the biggest part in Web 2.0, it basically defines the extending service of SOA to web-based applications.(Examples are: Feeds, RSS, Web Services, Mash-ups)




  • Social Web-  this set of social relations defines how Web 2.0 links everyone together through the world wide web.

    • social networking sites, blogs, wikis, and video sharing sites - These social sites involve numerous ways of communication, enabling people to discuss their thoughts, give opinions, share and relate their experiences. (facilitating the sharing of information)
    I personally use facebook, blogger and later will be exploring other sources of social networking as my progression develops in order to convey my work and ideas.

    After the feedback i have received from Paula below, i have thought about ways in which i could relate what i have learnt in this section to myself and my personal aims and experiences. I think that this interesting point of social networking will be very benefitial to me, as i'am planning to pursue my dream of moving to africa and opening my very own theatre company, this whole idea of using social networking sites will help me explore and balance my ideas, i could develop my work with strategies which could involve questionnaires and websites that people can participate and commune by sharing their votes and opinions , that will be a great way to develop my progression.  In addition , learning about web 1.0 and 2.0 has helped me a lot because it allowed me to gain a better knowledge on  the set of social relations and how important and reliable it is for our modern communication technologies.

    1. Your last sentence there is the one to expand on - so how do the ideas you talked about apply to your own use of social media? Relate the 'theory' to your 'practice' which is what critical thinking is all about. Abstract ideas that we can use to review or evaluate what we do.
