Smackdown 2

Image
I chose the website Zoom.us. Zoom is a website for individuals to conduct video conference calls. Unlike websites like skype, in Zoom you can share screens with multiple people and turn on and off many different features. I find that sharing screens is extremely helpful when possibly giving a presentation or using diagrams and images to explain certain topics. I feel that this website can help anyone while a student and in their future careers. In my future career as a Physician Assistant, working with PA’s all over the world is common and truly helpful to the profession. It is important to be able to show other medical professionals new medical information and cases that arise.                 I feel that as a student, websites like Zoom can be important because if a student has a presentation, but are unable to be in class that day, they can possibly give the presentation from home using Zoom and t...

Chapter 7

Image
After reading chapter 7, I feel that spread is the most important factor related to my future career as a Physician Assistant. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 38% job growth rate for the Physician Assistant profession through 2022. The influx of providers and spread of the profession, will hopefully allow more individuals to become aware of the profession. Many individuals do not know what physician assistants are, and some people refuse to see one for medical care. I also believe that the growth of the profession would bring more knowledge to the medical community. With more physician assistants, more medical professionals would be involved to share their thoughts, ideas, and stories regarding cases and medical information. Not only will this help other professionals, it will help patients as well. Using websites such as blogs, will allow medical professionals, especially physician assistants, to communicate with each other and share knowledge about medical cases...

Chapter 4

Image
Chapter 4 speaks about how individuals actions online matter and how you must build a trusting relationship with each person online. Building these relationships help individuals make connections with everyone who is involved and could potentially help everyone in the long run. Being conscientious of one’s online reputation will help them in their professional and personal life. Future employers look at all social media platforms and you want to look your best in hopes that you get hired. Also, looking professional and watching what you post helps your social media pages attract more attention from professionals and other individuals. I found this chapter, especially helpful for my future career as a Physician Assistant. What I found most important to my future career was the section regarding one’s online reputation. Social media is very common among individuals and many do not think before they post, which can hurt them in the long run. While your social media pages at this tim...

Good and Bad Websites

Image
Mercari and LetGo are both websites that help individuals buy and sell products from all different categories. These websites help people get rid of their possessions by selling them to others, normally, for cheaper prices than originals. A successful website comes from how likely users are to visit and use it. The set up and layout of a website is one of the most important things in attracting user attention and working to gain an online following. Another very important topic is user ability. A website that is easy for users to navigate will cause them to use the website multiple times. Having qualities such as these is what makes a good website. Mercari and LetGo are both great websites to help users find what they are looking for, but I believe LetGo is a good website where Mercari is a bad website in these terms. LetGo has many different search options, which provides users the ability to search exactly what they are looking for. It allows users to select tabs regarding their ...

Chapter 5

Image
Chapter 5 spoke about many ways to save important information online. Websites such as Diigo and Delicious are used to bookmark and tag specific websites. This chapter also speaks about how important blogs are when working to communicate with other people. There are many different types of blogs, and many different websites geared toward certain professions. Blogs rely on participation from the outside world and work well due to communication between many different individuals. “Blogs are a participatory medium where users welcome feedback and discussions. Many blogs allow comments at the bottom of the post” (Nussbaum-Beach p 43).      This allows for the community reading the blog to share information around the world and connect with many people. Blogs, such as EDUblogs, are extremely important in connecting and networking around the world. Blogs such as these, truly help people get the information across the world and allow individual...
