I've learned a lot about the cloud. I knew my kids used Chromebooks at
school. After reading The Horizon Report
I realize that not only are children getting access to technology but the
schools are saving money with the only limitation being that individuals need
internet access(New Medium Consortium, 2011).
I actually found out from my daughter the other day that she doesn't
have any books because all of her books are in the cloud! Amazing. I've seen word clouds before but never quite knew that the size and colors of the words were indicative of it's use (Friedman, 2007). I also didn't know the difference between tags, folksomies, and clouds. It's very interesting the ways we as internet uses can get information and share information. The Technacular website is wonderful because it gives so many learning and using options for tags and tag clouds. Also, I did not know that a folksonomy is a tag and that there are so many different kinds of tags. I like that there are so many ways to share information.
