Reflections on first week in #SMACAD 2012

1. First week with #smacad
Mette Rehnström
• First week I have had a lot of work establishing myself at
various platforms, and finding old, not so often used logins to
YT, Gmail etc.
• I was busy Thursday to Saturday with other non
SMACAD, activitites and I have now realised that it is good to
start with the lessons, the homework etc already on
Thursday…
• I have learnt a lot and good with some handson exercises.
• Think I’ll learn a lot through taking part on my classmates
contributions and from the comments I’ll get myself.

2. Lesson 1
• Task 1: Post a question and see the answeres:
Status update on LinkedIn ”Do anyone
haveexperience with another adaptive site than
M.stadium.com”.
• Result: My question did not give that many any
reactions or comments, but I did not change the
question either.
• Task 2: I have made a tweet every day on either
reflections from SMACAD or other seiminars.

3. Lesson exercise 2
• Task: We were asked to put a question on FB concerning
optimal size of network. I put the question on > 10
persons walls and also on my own wall.
• Result: I got a few comments and one long answer in
”novel form”, but most people didn’t have any specific
ideas concerning the size of network.
• Reflection: I use FB mostly for fun and I think the
question was too complicated for my network.

4. Lesson and exercise 3
• Task: create accounts on YT, Flickr, Foursquare and create
a blog at blogspot.
• Reflection: Takes some time…
Blogspot is a very nice and easy way to create a blog and
I liked it more than WordPress, but I would like to know
how effective the search optimization is for blogspot?
Tuesday I’ll hope having time to create a blog at blogspot
in Swedish, with some real and useful content.

5. Lesson 4
• Task: Create a Xeesm account for better
structure of your contacts.
• Result: not yet finished, but will be on
Tuesday.
