List the self publishing applications you are familiar with:

 Blogs  and Wikis.  Blogs short for Web Logs, are commentary published by an individual. It can take on many forms. In-fact your reading one write now.  My first experience with both blogs and wikis have been in this class. Although I have been a keen observer of both, this is the first time in which I have been an active participant.

Social Sharing 

Can you identify examples of where you have used social sharing in a learning context?

I’ve used social sharing in this class in through the use of Delicious. Its a great tool as I use many different computers and its always difficult to remember my website. However the advantages of Delicious are truly realised when you understand and utilize the tagging function, which allows others to quickly and easily view your bookmarks.

What impact can this have on your learning?

Social sharing has huge implications for learning. Not only can learners quickly and easily categorise knowledge but knowledge sharing becomes a by product of individual learning.
