Two Social Networking - Wk3

In our world today, almost everything seems to be technology dependant. Every person tries to build his/her own network through interaction with others. This network of people has been digitalised with the help of social network. People create their own network by using programs or software that is available on the Internet. 

One social networking tool is Sixgroups. This website can be accessed by www.sixgroups.com. Just like many other social networking programs, users can post comments, share thoughts, comment on others thoughts, build communities. There was one feature that attracted me to this application. This feature is the fact that Sixgroups can be integrated to any website. This feature transforms any website into a social networking website. For example, an educational website can have users post question, receive answers, ask for clarification from the writer, and any other options. It really helps improve the productivity of each website. So, this tool is very useful for adult education as it can help each adult educational website receive feedback from learners and readers which could result in an improvement to the services of each organisation. 

Another website is Wiggio, which can retrieved from www.wiggio.com. With Wiggio, users can do the following: host meetings, create to do lists, assign tasks to users, poll groups, manage events, and share files. The reason I chose this website, is because it makes your agenda and computer a shared one with all your community. 

I opted to stay away from the two most famous websites on the internet: Facebook and twitter. I wanted to see what else is available on the internet. This is the reason why I chose these two websites. I also wanted to see what other social networking programs might offer. 

I will be using Sixgroups website in my own website which I will develop for Sexual Education. I want to help learners share what is in their mind with the different topics that I will have. Another use of Wiggio is in my classroom environment. In sexual eduction classes, I normally ask my learners to pass over what they learnt into other communities. This can be done through Wiggio by creating tasks and events in each community and have my learners share their experience in each event with others.
