For the unit 3 visual network map task, I have made an interesting illustration of my online activities and the corresponding interlocking connections. In order to facilitate this assignment I have used the website called Kumu, which I have not used before this point although I found to be rather easy to learn. There were several features that became evident in this assignment, namely the fact that many of the online applications that I use are very much interconnected providing numerous diverse interactions among my professional and personal life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know that I spend a fair amount of my time online and this illustration is a testament to this fact, however upon review it is clear that the majority of this activity time is spent mostly with personal communications and interactions with family and friends. One of the significant reasons that I am interacting so frequently online in this manner is due to challenges posed by large geographical distances. As I have been working overseas for some time, I have had a diminished ability to stay connected with friends and family other than utilizing online platforms. Moreover many of my friends have also moved away to other distant locations for various reasons and online interactions have become a consistent way to keep connected. As reflected in my diagram, I use a few different methods of connecting online to propagate my social interactions, however I tend to use the media platform Steam the most frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While staying connected in my personal life online is important, many of the various online platforms I use are for work or school reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the MALAT program there are numerous online platforms and activities that have been brought to my attention, some of which I have never used before and am unsure I will again after the program. I can tell that I gravitate to a few network hubs and avoid having large network connections that will remain mostly un utilized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the case of work I use minimal digital social networking connections. I tend to prefer having work interactions being in person (when possible) and thus focus more on information gathering websites when online. There are several reasons why I limit online social networks within my work sphere, although the main reason I would say is that I am a proponent of the idea of \u2018unplugging\u2019 after a work period. I find the more minimal my work related social network activity is, the easier it is to accomplish disconnecting from my work environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
