Hashtag?

I spent a couple of hours last night getting back into my Twitter account and roaming around the  Twitter-vesre. In that roam, I wanted to see where #ics119  leads to. I was shocked to find that someone in "Asia" (I'm being general because I couldn't figure out the name).  So, this gets me wondering if all of our #ics119 tags are going this poor guys Twitter feed and blowing up his phone notifications?

Oh well, here's to a great week!

Who am I?

As I mentioned in my introduction, I'm currently attending college classes this school year while out on sabbatical from teaching high school industrial and technology classes at Kamehameha school on Oahu. I've always been interested in technology and was curious to learn more about social media, so when this course was offered, I figured why not give it a shot.

I'm a daily user of Facebook and have a few groups for different "circle" of friends and students. I created a Facebook page for my family because it is huge. My mother is the second eldest of 15 children and my grandfather has 11 siblings. The page has brought together so many of family members all over the world as well as their families.
I also made a page for my former students who are attending college for Architecture or Engineering. This page allows me to stay connected with my former students to see what they are learning to keep my curriculum up to date with the universities and industry. It's also a way for them to network with each other for ideas and assistance.

I also use Snapchat and Instagram to share pictures, but not as often as I do on Facebook. My twitter account is activated, but hardly ever used.

I like that this #ics119 class goals are positive and open minded. It makes for a cultivating learning environment and promotes a sense of comfort welcoming others to willingly share information.

I would like to think that I'm open to answer any questions to help others in our class. While visiting other classmate pages, I can add some constructive criticism and feedback. If anyone is at LCC, just send me a shout and we can work together on assignments.

A hui hou,
Mike M

RoboWarrior Logo

    This logo was created by one of our 2014 Robotics students and we have adopted her design ever since. It symbolically merges our school's culture with technology and has been a positive hit within our community.
